[1995-08-04-WCW-Clash of the Champions XXXI] Vader vs Ric Flair & Arn Anderson (Handicap)

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

[Loss]

Last few minutes. I always thought the idea of this match was stupid, because either guy should have been a formidable singles opponent for Vader without a partner. Pretty decent action, but the booking is hard to look past. Vader gets the win after powerbombing Arn. After the match, Flair blames Arn for the loss to start THAT feud. Flair/Arn was hyped as a big deal, but should have been hyped more as earth-shattering considering their history.

Heenan's reaction to the breakup reminds me of Jesse's reaction to the Hollywood Blondes breakup. This match made the horsemen look weak. Hogan can beat Vader by himself but they can't? Weak

[El-P]

Good match, but yeah, it made them look weak. And THAT feud would end up being very disapointing with THAT match.

[PeteF3]

Good action, booking flaws aside, but the post-match angle is weak sauce. They couldn't dream anything else up but to re-do Bash at the Beach practically to the letter?

[BruiserBrody]

I laughed at the promo earlier in the night where Flair all but said AA would do all the work and Flair would swoop in for the glory and AA was ok with all this.

 

Sad we never saw a Vader vs Giant match that the DOD segment teased

This should be 8/6 not 8/4.
