http://culturecrossfire.com/wrestling/wcw-clash-of-the-champions-27-hello-hogan/#.VaDeTflViko The first WCW megacard with Hulk Hogan under contract. Can you guess who gets all the hype in between Sting battling Flair, Cactus Jack and Kevin Sullivan brawling with the Nasty Boyz, Steve Austin grappling with Johnny B Badd, Lord Steven Regal testing the mettle of The Living Legend plus more action. Some interesting WCW backstage notes from the period are covered as well!

One of the best WCW PPVs ever!

This scored a full ratings point higher than Flair vs. Steamboat that was held that same weekend.

Probably shouldn't have followed a double juice brawl with a more joint torture oriented one. Funk warned Rhodes he was coming for him earlier in the night and then had no back up plan when it went down. Nice storytelling in both the match and the angle though.

Meltz says no.

I was really surprised at how little offence Blanchard got. Overall I was a little underwhelmed since I had 21 years of anticipation about seeing this match. PWI made a big deal about the brawling and "We want blood" chants in relation to ECW IIRC.

http://culturecrossfire.com/wrestling/wcw-battle-bowl-93/#.VVTCX_lVikp WCW puts 40 of their top names into random pairings, and forgot to book a good card along the way. A series of bad matches lead to a battle royal, all of which are part of one of the worst drawing PPVs in history and one of WCW's low points from a creative aspect.
