Definitely remember Kwee-Wee / Alan Funk. I liked him from the first time I saw him on WCW Saturday Night; right after Hart got control of the program and the Power Plant boys were getting a shot on TV. I remember watching him as Alan Funk, and thinking, "Wow, this guys is good". Then he got even better with the Kwee-Wee gimmick. Another underrated guy right there.

That's back when WCW Saturday Night had early matches of the younger guys before they were getting a push on Thunder and then Nitro. You had Alan Funk, then Rick Cornell / Reno, Chuck Palumbo, Mike Sanders in surfing gear, Jindrak with the basketball gimmick, and many other good talents. Lash LeRoux [to an extent - as he wasn't as inexperienced as the other guys] even got some good time on there. I hated when WCW turned Saturday Night into a recap show.

After all of those years as a mainstay on the Superstation, they just killed it off. Then they moved it to AM hours, and you knew it was all over for WCW right there. It was a thing where Nitro could've went off the air, and it'd be OK, but when Saturday Night was gone - you knew it was over for them.
I know what you mean. When Hart got control of WCW Saturday Night it was actually cool. You got to see new faces, and there was even some small storyline going on there. I agree, it was bullshit when they changed it into Saturday Morning and turned it into a recap show.

I believe 3 Count debuted on Saturday Night too. I actually kinda liked Saturday Night when Hart took control of it.
