The 1994 Bash at the Beach was the inaugural Bash at the Beach professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by World Championship Wrestling (WCW). It took place on July 17, 1994, from the Orlando Arena in Orlando, Florida.
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.
This event marked Hulk Hogan's in ring debut for WCW. 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.
As of 2014, the event is available on the WWE Network.[3]
