Bash at the Beach (1995)
Bash at the Beach was a yearly professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by World Championship Wrestling (WCW). It was the company's PPV for the month of July, held from 1994 to 2000. The show centered on a beach theme, with the set around the entrance area for the wrestlers decorated with such things as surfboards and sand. The theme for the show seemed appropriate for an event scheduled during the hot summer month of July. The beach/"fun in the sun" theme was also reflected in the places where WCW chose to hold the event; all of the shows emanated from cities in either Florida or California, two United States states renowned for their warm weather. It was WCW's response to WWF's SummerSlam. In 1992 and 1993, WCW held a beach-themed pay-per-view show known as Beach Blast, which was the forerunner to Bash at the Beach. The 1992 show was held in June, however, as the company elected instead to reserve July for its flagship summertime extravaganza, The Great American Bash. Along with Slamboree, Starrcade, SuperBrawl, The Great American Bash, and Halloween Havoc, Bash at the Beach was booked to be one of WCW's flagship events. WWE have owned the rights to Bash at the Beach since they purchased WCW in March 2001. In 2014, all WCW Bash at the Beach pay-per-views were made available on the WWE Network.
Bash at the Beach (1994) took place on July 17, 1994 from the Orlando Arena in Orlando, Florida.
Johnny B. Badd replaced Sting, who was injured. Terry Funk pinned Dustin Rhodes after his partner Arn Anderson turned on Rhodes and executed a DDT on him. Tony Schiavone did the play-by-play, while color commentary was split between Bobby Heenan and Jesse Ventura. Ventura was on the outs with WCW management at this time, and he was notably missing from the main event.
