Clash of the Champions II: Miami Mayhem
Barry Windham vs. Brad Armstrong U.S. Title Match
--I feel obligated to point out that at this point they take time out to pimp Lyle Alzado's show "Learning The Ropes." It was about a guy who takes a side job as a wrestler to make ends meet. HILARIOUSLY bad, which is why it's so damn funny. I recommmend watching this segment just so you can bust out laughing at it.

Steve Williams vs. The Italian Stallion
Ivan Koloff vs. Paul Jones (Koloff wins with one arm tied behind his back)

Ricky Steamboat vs. Ric Flair NWA World Title Match Best 2/3 Falls ***** (this one goes 56 minutes!!! before Steamboat wins the 3rd fall....however, Flair had his foot on the rope at the time and the ref didnt see it, so when Steamboat sees the replay, he agrees to the match with Flair at WrestleWar.....awesome match)

Ricky Steamboat vs. Paul Orndorff
Sting/Ric Flair vs. Colossal Kongs
Rick Rude/The Equalizer vs. Dustin Rhodes/Mystery Partner (unlike Clash 17, Dustin doesn't produce a partner as good as Steamboat, so instead we get.....Hawk, as the Road Warriors return. Picture me containing my sheer JOY at seeing the Road Warriors....yes, that was sarcasm)

Steve Austin vs. Johnny B. Badd U.S. Title Match
Ric Flair vs. Sting WCW World Title "Unification" Match ***3/4 (really good match, UNREAL heat for both guys....this was to decide who the "real" champion was, not unlike HBK/Razor IC Title for WrestleMania X.....of course, Hulk F'n Hogan makes his appearance here and fucks everything up, because Lord knows the whole world has to bow to whatever Hulk Hogan wants......Hogan WISHES he were 1/100th as great as Ric Flair was and still is. That's all I gotta say.) t
Clash of the Champions XXVIII
Nasty Boys vs. Pretty Wonderful
Steve Austin vs. Ricky Steamboat U.S. Title Match **** (Steamboat's final match as he injures himself on a simple move at the end of the match and messes up vertebrae in his back....now how fucked is that? Great match though for the Steamer to end on)

Big Van Vader vs. Ric Flair/Arn Anderson Handicap Match (shitty match, but it DID lead to an awesome match between Flair and Anderson at Fall Brawl '95 when Arn got pissed off because he thought Flair didn't pull his weight in this match....so this is the start of a really good mini-angle for the Horsemen....that said, skip this match and watch Fall Brawl '95)

Ultimo Dragon vs. Alex Wright TV Title Match ***
Chris Jericho vs. Eddy Guerrero Cruiserweight Title Match ***1/4
Psycosis/Villano IV/Villano V/Silver King vs. Super Calo/Lizmark Jr./Juventud Guerrera/Hector Garza (don't cream yourself....it's a decent match, although the world has seen much better before and since, so it's not like this is anything really special)
Ric Flair/Curt Hennig vs. Konnan/Syxx
Scott Hall/Randy Savage vs. Lex Luger/Diamond Dallas Page WCW World Tag Team Titles (Savage is subbing for Nash here, not that it matters, match still sucks....)
