I really appreciate you balancing the WWE narrative a bit. How Vince went all out to bury JCPs isn't common knowledge, at least it wasn't for me. And this match will always be electric. I'm a Lil' Stinger and have been since I was a kid, but Ric Flair is the greatest professional wrestler of all times. How he selflessly helps Sting get over and creates a superstar who lasted for the next 40 years is incredible.

Man, this entire card and particularly, the main event, holds a very, very special place in my heart. I remember one of my best friends and I watching COTC at his dad's house and it was awesome!! We were so pumped for that main event and cheering Sting on. There were several times in the match when we thought that Sting had Flair's number. To this day, this match is one of my all-time favorite matches. I was a huge fan of the Flair/Sting rivalry and this match had so much to do with that. My only complaint with this match was the inclusion of the judges. So, so unnecessary. Awesome, amazing video, Sir! Much, much respect for your passion for wrestling.

The crazy thing about JCP/NWA/WCW only appealed to southern rasslin fans for a very long time. Even when it became WCW. But at the time Clash of the Champions, JCP/WCW was wrestling and WWF/E was sports entertainment. Which is why the show quality of COC and Wrestlemania 4 different significantly. But Flair vs Sting 1 was the match that not only put NWA/JCP/WCW on the map but it put Sting on the map as being the man in WCW. WWE had Hulk Hogan and WCW had Sting. Sting/Flair was WCW golden goose feud from 1988 to 2001. WCW was born from this match and the match also closed its doors. Sting and Flair went down with the ship. If you’ve seen one of their matches you’ve seen em all but something about their chemistry together was magic. They meshed together so well. It was like they were made for each other so to speak. Great story telling. Tbh WCW was Flair and Sting. Point period.

One of the greatest rivalries of that era. Sting and Ric Flair was always a classic.

Vince was and still is a Big 👶. Imagine if when he held the pay per view company's hostage they should have said the hell with you. Vince could only make money if people bought views instead he tried to ruin a company he tried to screw after getting the tbs time slots. And then he cried foul when Nitro showed up. What a crybaby even if he is a billionaire.

Vince obviously has forgotten his history, either that or it's the same rule that Democrats currently use: Rules for thee, not for me. It's all fun and games for him to do it, but when it turns around to bite him like you said he cries lol

Ted's biggest mistake was not buying the NWA and bypassing Crockett. Many people think that JCP was the NWA but in fact is was not. Crockett was just the largest promotion under the umbrella. Had Ted Turner bypassed Crockett and bought the NWA name and titles the Wrestlers would have followed. Because there was no where else to go. But letting the NWA operate independently from the newly formed WCW was the biggest mistake of the entire Crockett Tuner deal. But at least Billy Corgan got the NWA brand decades later so we do at least get studio wrestling and great KZbin channel!!!

That was too dirty by Vince McMannequin. Living in Montreal, we only had WWF to watch, I had no idea there was a free Mega event on free tv in the US. A marathon match means there is bound to be alot of duration holds for the wrestlers to rest; but some of these were painfully long. But this was a good match, still.

Having the time announced every 5 minutes and judges there "just in case" it goes to time limit... might as well just put up a banner proclaiming that this would match would go to the time limit. I always hated that obvious foreshadowing. The match would have had so much more suspense without that part and the ending would have been just that much more awesome. Still a great match, though. Flair at his best.

Vince McMahon Jr. did play dirty from very beginning despite it making his father look like liar. After all Vince McMahon Sr. did promise all others that his son wouldn't compete with them.

I heard Jim Cornette (don't remember if was on a podcast or shoot interview) say recently that Sting and Flair were supposed to go an hour, but some of the other matches went long, so they had to cut it to 45 minutes. Loved those old JCP crowds. They were LOUD.

The Stinger known as the man called Sting the franchise of WCW and now he's the icon... Sting is the greatest wrestler that been around for a long time 30 plus years and still around The Surfer Sting The Crow Sting The Wolf Pac Sting The Joker Sting how many times this character always reinvent himself he's still around in 2021 that's the greatest wrestler/character I ever seen in professional wrestler....

Vince McMahon is the king of counter programming. While some of the tactics done by Eric bischoff were dirty i.e. giving away results, throwing WWF Women's belt in the trash, but Vince has been pulling dirty tactics since before then. Black Saturday anyone? Future Wrestling bios video perhaps if it has not been done?
@artiedonovan1433
@artiedonovan1433 2 жыл бұрын
Yeah Black Saturday was Vince's way to force Crockett to pay him $1 million dollars ransom, which is what he used to finance Wrestlemania. I wonder if the ratings on those Saturdays were any difference from when Crockett had the slot. Oh, he also tried to ruin Starrcade 83 by trying to make Harley Race sign with him before the match could take place. Race met with Vince the week prior and told him NO! He would not be coming to WWF until after that because Harley gave NWA his word he would be there, Vince always hated the NWA which was why he pulled WWF from the alliance because he wanted to rule the world with his way.
