>It's 9:35...anything exciting happen on Clash of the Underpaid Wrestlers?

   Here's the rundown:
       They started by saying Brian Pillman had a knee injury and was on
   crutches and would not be able to wrestle.  Jesse then interview Flyin'
   Brian when Brad Armstrong comes out.  Flyin' Brian acts all apologetic
   to Brad Armstrong but we all know what's coming next, Pillman attacks
   Armstrong's leg with the crutch.  Since the attack was befefore the 
   match, Pillman can't be DQ'ed.  One minute later, Pillman pins Brad
   Armstrong by clipping the leg. 
       Next match, Erik Watts & Kensuke Sasaki v. Anderson & Eaton.  A short
   match in which only Sasaki looked above average.  It ended with all four
   men in the ring and you guessed it Watts got Eaton in the STF and Eaton
   submitted.
       The boxing match came next.  Of course, it looked very fake looking
   with JBB basically kicking Flamingo's ass in the first round.  During
   the break, you could see Vegas & DDP filling Flamingo's glove with water.
   In the second round, Flamingo lands a punch with the glove (it made a
   really nice thud sound) and knocked Badd out.
       Oh somewhere in here, they held the drawing for the first match at
   Battle Bowl and the first 2 teams are Cactus Jack/JBB v Dan Spivey/Van
   Hammer (i know all the lines are busy at your local cable company so
   you'll just have to wait :).
       Next match, Ron Simmons & nameless black (naturally) partner (a sub
   for Robbie Walker) v. Barbarian/Atlas/Cactus.  Jesse & Ross emphasized
   heavily that they didn't know who this fellow was and (*shock*) he was
   the best performer of the night! He did a dive over the top rop onto
   all three opponents, tried a moonsault like maneuver onto Cactus Jack
   who was standing in the middle of the ring (Jesse said he hit Cactus
   on the head with his foot but it could be Jesse was just covering for
   his flub), and a great move off the tope rope (which I'll describle in
   a second).  The ending had Ron Simmons triple-teamed but he ducked the
   loaded boot from the Barbarian which hit Atlas instead.  Simmons knocked
   Cactus Jack & Barbarian to the outside and Simmons' partner came off
   the top rope with about a forward 1 1/2 somersault splash onto the prone
   Atlas.  After the match, Ross interviewed Simmons & partner who goes
   under the Too Cold Scorpio but he has no gimmick outfit or mask.  He
   certainly blows Max Moon away.
      Paul E. v. Madusa was pretty boring basically Madusa kicks his ass
   but the 5 minute time limit save Paul E.
      A solid *** star match between Sting & Rude which went the 20 minute
   time limit and Sting won a split decision.  The time limit was no 
   surprise since they had 3 special judges for this match: Ole Anderson
   (Sting), Hiro Matsuda (Sting), and Larry Z. (Rude).
      The tag team match was another solid *** 1/2 star match.  Dustin
   and Barry were functioning as a team well for most of the match.  The
   turning point (so to speak) was when Steamboat attempted to leapfrog
   Dustin but got headbutted to the crotch.  Dustin wouldn't pin Steamboat
   causing an argument with Barry Windham who tagged himself in.  Barry
   went for the pin but Steamboat kicked out.  Barry inflicted a few
   inverted atomic drops on Steamboat and as he went for another pin attempt
   Dustin pulled him off.  They argued and then exchange slaps and punches.
   Douglas tagged in and caught Windham with a Belly-to-Belly for the pin.
   Dustin congratulated Douglas & Steamboat as they left and then walked
   back to the dressing room by himself.  Windham called Dustin back to
   the ring and they argued some more and Windham kicked Dustin to the
   stomach, DDT'ed him, and superplexed Rhodes.  The show ended with
   a Douglas/Steamboat interview with Jesse when Windham interrupted and
   chaired both men before running them both into the steel lockers.

   Overall, I give this Clash a "B".  I give this grade not because it was
   particularly above average as far as Clashes go but it looked great
   in comparison to Havoc. Visually, it looked good for a WCW product but
   not much great wrestling.
