10 Moments That Literally Stopped WCW Matches
10. The Loose Cannon Causes Clash Clusterf**k
"This has absolutely broken down."
Yes, Tony Schiavone, it must certainly had.
Clash of the Champions XXXII saw Brian Pillman take on Eddie Guerrero in what had the potential to be a classic. Instead, it ended up being a cluserf**k.
This was at the point where Pillman was in the early days of his Loose Cannon transformation, with him starting to act erratically at the end of 1995. By the time of this January '96 edition of Clash of the Champions, Pillman was doing everything he could to catch his colleagues and company management off-guard.
One such act of catching people unaware came during this Clash contest. Playing the heel here, Pillman backed off from Guerrero's offense, taking solace at ringside and grabbing Bobby Heenan to use as a human shield - and it's here where the action took a pause.
Dealing with neck issues from years of taking bumps, Heenan had a non-contact clause in his WCW contract. So, when Pillman grabbed the Brain by his neck and shoulders, the legendary manager-turned-commentator asked "what the f**k" the former WCW Light Heavyweight Champion was doing, before storming off up into the entrance aisle.
Heenan would return a minute or two later, but all of this left a confused Eddie Guerrero stood alone in the ring, before Pillman joined him and the two stalled for time while seeing what the Brain was going to do.
