Gene Jackson and “Broadcast” Bob Anderson head down to New Orleans for Clash of the Champions VI: Ragin’ Cajun, one of the strangest, longest, and most uneven Clash shows of the era — but also one of the most historically important. This episode features a deep dive into: • The Steamboat vs. Flair two-out-of-three falls World Title match• Why the “Family Man” presentation of Ricky Steamboat never quite worked• The Samoan SWAT Team replacing chaos with even more chaos• The Midnight Express opening yet another Clash with a 20-minute match• The Great Muta casually ruining a man’s eyesight before the opening bell• Junkyard Dog vs. Butch Reed and the official JYD Bump Counter™• Why half the card is missing and why that might be a blessing• WCW’s obsession with nerve holds, long openers, and crowd killing pacing Along the way, Gene and Bob veer into classic territory talk, nostalgia tangents, hair critiques, robe rankings, and the ongoing realization that 1989 WCW is equal parts brilliance and self sabotage. If you love WCW history, Clash of the Champions deep cuts, and honest, sarcastic retro wrestling commentary, this one’s for you.
