11 Great Moments From WCW Clash Of The Champions
7. The 'W' Stands For 'Weasel'
Clash of the Champions XXVI opened with none other than 'Mean' Gene Okerlund hyping the crowd before completely changing mood upon receiving some bad news. The news? Well, it was worse than that time his mother-in-law moved in last summer. Okerlund always was a charmer.
The news was that none other than Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan had signed with World Championship Wrestling. The WCW talent drive was in full-flow at this point, and a few months later Hulk Hogan would join 'The Brain' and his good friend 'Mean' Gene.
Heenan was signed to replace Jesse 'The Body' Ventura, and would go on to work for WCW until 2000. His relationship with the company would deteriorate throughout those years, but at this point everything seemed fairly rosy and fans were excited the arrival of the sharp-witted Weasel.
