Sid Vicious vs The Night Stalker

DESCRIPTION FROM YOUTUBE: "Clash 13- Sid Vicious vs Nightstalker- Freebirds Interview and Missy Hyatt Promo. This match is universally considered one of the worst matches in the history of professional wrestling"

COMMENT FROM YOURS TRULY: Part of the WCW "Clash Of The Champions XIII" event, the numbering proving indeed unlucky, for the viewer who tuned their television in or showed up to watch this. The Night Stalker later wrestled as "Adam Bomb" and "Wrath" but here he has just started. He doesn't seem to understand the point of selling moves. Or how to run the ropes. There is a very long bear cuddle. The crowd turns on the match after 4 minutes of non-action. The Big Cat (Mr Hughes in red underpants) does a run-in. More of jog-in. Jim Ross calls the Night Stalker's prop axe "that metal club thing". The referee allows blatant interference and the use of foreign objects without disqualifying anything.

This match truly has everything. Everything that is awful and nothing that is good. Bless.

Jeep Swenson vs Jeff Raitz & Dusty Wolfe

DESCRIPTION FROM YOUTUBE: "Massive Jeep Swenson dominates jobbers Jeff Raitz & Dusty Wolfe in a handicap match. Enjoy!"

COMMENT FROM YOURS TRULY: Swenson died young. Raitz died young. Dusty Wolfe had a long career wrestling in many countries, usually on the losing end. So it's not all bad.

The Powers of Pain vs Bob Emery & Chance McQuade

DESCRIPTION FROM YOUTUBE: "Chance McQuade teams with Bob Emery to tackle the awesome Warlord & Barbarian in 1988."

COMMENT FROM YOURS TRULY: This match introduces the POP's manager "The Baron" who was Baron Von Raschke, a long time veteran of the squared circle. I thought he was cool at the time (I was 9) but he wasn't around for long. The Powers of Pain always looked good in matches where they didn't have to take any offensive moves from their opponents.

p.s. "Chance McQuade" surely must be the handle of a Chuck Norris-themed porno actor.

"The Natural" Butch Reed & The One Man Gang vs Ricky Hunter & W.D. Wellington

DESCRIPTION FROM YOUTUBE: "he Natural Butch Reed teams with Stable mate the One Man Gang in this classic bout against Rick Hunter & W.D. Wellington in 1987."

COMMENT FROM YOURS TRULY: As a summation, "Classic bout" is perhaps going too far. Like from Tasmania to Alaska too far. Ricky Hunter worked for years as the masked Gladiator. And even though he takes a beating in this encounter, it pales compared to the effort of one W.D. Wellington, who is first ridiculed for his certainly unique look, then is pummeled by the dancing Slickster's men. As Vince McMahon puts it "they'll be scraping him off the canvas for quite a while".

"Outlaw" Ron Bass vs "Cowboy" Frankie Lane

DESCRIPTION FROM YOUTUBE: "The Outlaw vs the Cowboy Frankie Lane 1987"

COMMENT FROM YOURS TRULY: Frankie Lane was at one time NWA World Tag Team champion with none other than George "the Animal" Steele. That's quite the combo. Here though, poor ol Frankie is beat like a government mule, or like the hapless soul in the bar at the start of a western film, as the mean old Outlaw asserts his evil ways. Even Gorilla Monsoon verbally puts the boots to the Cowboy.

The Tiger vs Jerry Adams

DESCRIPTION FROM YOUTUBE: "Dom DeLouise look a like Jerry Adams takes on the mysterious Tiger in 1985."

COMMENT FROM YOURS TRULY: Mr Adams looks like a guy who drives the school bus, and I bet he had a rough week following this, having all the 'lil bassdards' taunt him for losnig to a man in a leopard print outfit, called "the Tiger", doing a "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka imitation. The Tiger also offers Mr Adams a deep tissue massage at 2:10 which is an unusual way to be cruel to be kind.

Dick Murdoch's ring entrance (sans gruts)

DESCRIPTION FROM YOURS TRULY: "As Dick Murdoch approaches the ring, watch what he does right before he gets into the ring. I've been trying to find out whether or not this was related to some kind of a rib."

COMMENT FROM YOURS TRULY: What can you say about Dick Murdoch that he didn't say himself? The man loved to entertain. I need to find footage of the bit he would do where he'd get kicked in the guts, clutch his stomach, wander off to the back, then return several minutes later with toilet paper stuck to his boot.
