I am probably not alone in saying that this Clash was one of the most
surprising, and one of the best, Clashes ever.
 
1)  The return of Butch Reed!
 
    Was this a total surprise or what?  Where's Dan Spivey now?  Not that
    he was doing well to begin with, but now the push goes to Barbarian
    and Reed because...
 
2)  Rhodes and Windham DO THE JOB!
 
    For Reed/Barbarian?  Whoa.  This sets up an alliance with Cactus Jack,
    Butch Reed, and the Barbarian.  Yet Jake Roberts has also called Cactus
    his "hunting dog".  Could there be a four man alliance headed by Jake?
 
3)  Sting DOES THE JOB!
 
    Not much of a surprise that he did job, considering Watts's influence
    on Sting's jobbing ability lately.  But just one DDT?  No miraculous
    comeback?  Hmmm.  Look for Sting to get even at...
 
4)  Halloween Havoc: Spin the wheel, make the deal...
 
    Another great idea by the powers that be in WCW.  The whole little skit
    at the end with Jake and Sting was terrible, though.  Sting CAN'T ACT.
    Surprise, surprise.  This should be another great WCW PPV.
 
5)  Madusa's tattoo.
 
    Is it real?
 
6)  Ricky Steamboat over Steve Austin to win the TV title
 
    Look for this to be the final flash of greatness for Steamboat.  Retirement
    looms.  Give the belt back to Austin, who is really the future for WCW.
 
7)  "No off top rope rule" badly defeated in poll
 
    Will this influence Watts in any way?  Will he allow Jushin Riger to do
    that "do-si-do crap" in WCW ever again?  Tune in tomorrow...
 
 
 
What I would like to see at Halloween Havoc '92
 
First of all, ALL matches should be determined by a spin of the wheel.
And now, the card.
 
Ron Simmons vs. Butch Reed  for WCW World Heavyweight Title
- won't be a great match, but it will be somewhat entertaining
 
Masahiro Chono (sp?) vs. Rick Rude for NWA World Heavyweight Title
- look for Rude to get the strap in America, maybe this one shouldn't have
  to be determined by spin of the wheel
 
Ricky Steamboat vs. Steve Austin for World TV Title
- make it a retirement match where Steve wins cleanly.  Have Ricky go out
  with the class and dignity that made him a classic.  Shake hands after match.
 
Steve Williams/Terry Gordy vs. Rick and Scott Steiner for World Tag Titles
- make this one the very violent match it can truly become
 
Jake Roberts vs. Sting
- already like it...
 
Arn Anderson/Bobby Eaton vs. Barry Windham/Dustin Rhodes
- have Windham turn in this match for the loss at the Clash
 
Brad Armstrong vs. Brian Pillman
- doesn't Pillman make a great heel?  He's always had that fucked up heel voice
 
Jushin Riger vs. Lightning Kid in finals for WCW World Light Heavyweight Title
- a guy can dream...
 
Missy Hyatt vs. Madusa
- still dreaming...
 
Robin Green vs. Alexandria York
- guess I'd better stop now...
