I was too young to understand the pot allusions, but I didn't mind them. They weren't anywhere near my favourite acts in WCW, but as a big beefy hoss team, I thought they were fine.

Honestly, this is probably right. I think what happened was the WWF didn't pick up their contracts originally to begin with even though they weren't on Time Warner deals and Brian Adams pushed for Taker to try and get them hired and then he made Taker look bad when they had a meh match so Taker was pissed and complained. Also there was probably some leftover heat on both of them for leaving the WWF for WCW during the time before the WWF started beating WCW in the ratings. I'm not sure. By the time they left, neither guy was really doing anything in the WWF, and they didn't really become huge players in WCW. Arguably, their peak came after WWF was already consistently winning, so there wouldn't be much cause to hold a grudge over it. I think it was more that WWF only really bothered to bring them in to work 'Taker, and when that failed, there was already a huge roster post-buyout, so not much reason to keep them. Adams did go to one of the WWF's developmental territories briefly after, so I wouldn't be shocked if they offered the same to Clark and he just said, "yeah, no thanks".I think that's pretty much what happened. Speaking of Adams brief developmental run while looking for the match with Undertaker and Kane I discovered this gem: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJ33Ub0fy7QAdams, Haku, and Kwee Wee against Eddie Guerrero, D'Lo Brown, and Lance Cade. What a strange mix of guys all at different stages of their careers that you would never think interacted with each other. Lance Cade and Haku wrestling in particular is like some strange time interlapse.

I guess it makes sense in that Cade had been around for a bit, like his brief "Garrison Cade" run since Lance Storm was on the roster at that time and WWE was trying to avoid doubling on names, before he came back later with Murdoch as Lance Cade.
