The cool thing about that Clash was that it was also a celebration of 20 years of wrestling on WTBS. Andre the Giant was at the show. They had guys coming in by limousines and a red carpet treatment.

The Light Heavyweight title being officially vacated by Brad Armstrong on the red carpet on crutches having to give the belt up was kind of a bummer.

You forgot to mention that 96 Nitro was the night The Giant and Ted DiBiase officially joined the nWo.
