- Actually, I wasn't "called" on this more than twice. Many people posted
- that they agreed that this was a Clash all-time low. I have to stick to
- this opinion; 5 of the 7 matches were * or worse, and two were total DUDs.

- I can't agree here either. The Sting/Rude match was awful (save one dive
- onto the guard rail by Sting). Basically, it was two guys moving in slow
- motion, hugging and sitting on each other for a minute or two at a time. Yes,
- the tag match was good and Barry's heel turn was better. The "ghetto odds"
- match wasn't very good exept when Too Cold Sorpio was in there, but he's
- so good I'm not complaining. I guess we just have differing opinions here.
- As for Orndorff returning, it was hardly a high point. First off, showing a
- guy for 15 seconds in a little box in the top corner of the screen *without
- even mentioning his name* is hardly memorable. Secondly, Orndorff's return,
- as someone pointed out here, was a continuity error since he doesn't make
- his official return until three days later on WCW Saturday Night.
