That the WCW Cruiserweight tag titles were a waste since they ended the tournament at Greed. Seriously, I know it didn't seem like anyone thought the company would be bought a few weeks later, but even then, why bother?
Also that the show resembled (so far) a 2005 TNA Impact episode.
Also that they were so embarrassed by their weird logo that they covered it up with "WCW GREED" on the banners and graphics instead of showing it over the Greed logo.
ALSO, that the WCW Greed graphic has to be the cheapest thing I've seen this side of the bingo hall.

Woman was freaking hot. I couldn't appreciate her beauty as a teenager in the 90's.

Hogan (in the later stages of his career - I'm talking post Wrestlemania x8 onwards) seemed to pretty much based himself on Billy Graham. He had the same beard and wore the same sort of clothes and colours. I'm pretty sure I remember an interview with Billy Graham where he basically flat out said that Hogan basically owes his career to him because he 'borrowed so much of Grahams mannerisms and style. There were even some clips of him doing some of the flexing that Hogan was known for. It made it seem like Hogan's character was very heavily based on Graham, though admittedly it might have been biased but there was some legitimacy to the accusation. Hogan has admitted that seeing Billy Graham in person is what made him want to become a wrestler in the first place, so it doesn't surprise me that he might have nicked a few poses from Graham.

Allen Iron Eagle completely no sells a Michael Hayes left hand at Clash 14 and proceeds to get thrown out of the ring and chopped several times. My guess is Hayes was pissed.

The Z-Man used a sleeper.....get it? GET IT? Never made that connection. I really liked Z Man's super kick though!

Didn't realize how deathly Macho Man made his elbow drop look. Everybody sold it like neutron bombs. When you see HBK do it a lot of the times it looks as if he lands on the ring before the elbow hits, whereas Macho lands on the person first, greatly maximizing the move. Still my favorite finisher (Jake DDT second, Stunner third) Makes it that much crazier that he does 5 of them in a row to Warrior in his retirement match and Warrior still beats him. Talk about putting Warrior over. Of course there was also the time when Macho did it to wake Hogan up at the Jan 1995 Clash. Macho's elbow was so stiff by the late 1990s that Charles Robinson suffered a collapsed lung following an elbow drop!

Steve Blackman sleeps with his nunchucks, but only sometimes.
Also apparently Grand Master Sexay and Steve Blackman were a tag team.

I don't think Bill Demott ever hit his moonsault.
I mean he was supposed to... but he usually was waaaaaay off.

Clash of the Champions XV was my 2nd WCW show ever. I realized last night that this is pretty much a perfect jumping in point for a wrestling fan. A large majority of the guys on the show were new or fairly new. They had little notes about each participant before each match and even the little coming attractions things helped fill in the blanks. Ric Flair would also leave the company soon after so it was almost like a reboot.

Eric Bischoff was annoying as hell on Commentary. And I mean pre-nWo Bischoff, though the group sure did him no favors at all.

No one seemed to be upset with Paul E. Dangerously talking to Stunning Steve through the singing of the National Anthem at Clash of the Champions XX

98 WCW is very hard to watch PPV to PPV with all the people switching between WCW-Wolfpack-Hollywood on Nitro's. Wish they showed recaps leading up to each match like WWE has been doing since before then.
