I loved the Clash. It was like a PPV on TV and it always had that big feel to it. I However, while that would be a great conversation, I just really wanted to post the opening to Clash of the Champions 10 "Texas Shoot Out." www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5zWze2O9nYIn this ten minutes, you will see... --Announce team Jim Ross and James Cornette. --At Ringside, Tuxedo Terry Funk --Gordon Solie with a quick interview with The Road Warriors --The Samoan Savage with the Big Kauna Oliver Humperdink. The Savage's theme music is from the movie "Halloween" --Doctor Death: Prescription for Pain. --Part one of Savage vs. Dr. Death. How could you not love that?! |

The Clash was always cool, since it was a hard sell for the quarterly PPV...after initially starting out as an "FU" to Vince on 1980s WWF PPV days.
If anyone needs evidence as to why wrestling was cooler in the late-80s/early 1990s...look no further than the Clash. Every week, WCW had a two-hour show on TBS on Saturday evening, a one-hour show on Saturday morning, a one-hour TBS show on Sunday, and a national one-hour show in syndication.
YET then, after all of that TV programing...every couple months...WCW would ask you to watch three hours of very cool matchups you wouldn't usually see on TV...in primetime.
Boo to WCW Thunder for choking out the entire "Clash of Champions" concept.

The Clash, specifically Clash XXI, was my introduction to WCW. This edition included Sting vs. Rick Rude in the semi-finals of the King of Cable tournament, Madusa pulling Paul E.'s pants down, and Ricky Steamboat and Shane Douglas winning the Unified tag title from Dustin Rhodes and Barry Windham. Being only nine years old at the time, I was scared by Windham ambushing the new champs during a post-match interview.
I'd love to see a Clash boxset from WWE.

Gordon Solie on Color (A non heel color commentator?  !?) Gordon Solie could do anything he wanted. |

I had this one on tape for a loooong time. That's the one where Doom unmasks and The Horsemen kick Sting out of the group. Which is when I first realized how much I like Ole Anderson on the mic. Ole seems like a legit turdball in real life, but that segment's great. If any heels were wanting to learn how to cut a realistic, non-screaming jerk promo, they need to watch that segment a couple hundred times, just to imitate the energy of Ole's "Look, Sting. Pay attention. You're a big, strong, tough kid...but you're not gonna be a Horseman anymore. No more Horsemen for the Stinger." Awesome. Before the days of "shoots", guys like Ole made real promos look like "shoots", but with the intention of drawing money and real fan emotion for a match. Plus, from that same segment, my friends and I have turned Flair's "Get out of this business!" to Sting into somewhat of an inside joke for times we don't like someone or something. Lame of us, since that's from the Flair DVD we watched two years ago, but we'll get over it. |

He really does, as I don't know too much about him outside the ring, but man he comes across as a huge prick bastard and it doesn't seem forced like some of the heels around today. |
