They were the number one heel stable and they quickly made enemies out of two of the fan's biggest heroes: Sting and Ricky Steamboat. As a result, we got his fantastic tag match on a Clash of the Champions TV special. The match itself was great theater because all four guys are masters of ring psychology. The heels played mind games with the babyfaces first, refusing to lock up a few times, Rude calling on Sting and then backing off, and generally just being spineless jerks. The babyfaces countered by switching off without tagging behind the referee's back during a chinlock spot, sending the crowd into a frenzy. Sting finally played the face-in-peril role and the heels got some good heat while beating on him. Of course, the hot tag to the Dragon was exactly what the crowd wanted to see and Steamboat even busted out the old-school double noggin-knocker against the heels. All hell broke loose after that with Sting and Austin brawling to the floor and all the way up the entrance ramp while Steamboat and Rude battled in the ring. Austin eventually made his way back and tried to bodyslam Steamboat. Sting came flying off the top rope with a high cross body and knocked Steamboat on top of Austin to end a fantastic tag match.
