Episode 851: Clash of the Champions VI: Ragin' Cajun

Welcome back to The Lawcast! This time our hosts cover the NWA's Clash of the Champions VI: Ragin' Cajun from April 2, 1989. 1989 in the NWA is one of the most tumultuous years of any promotion in history and this might be the low point. Booker George Scott ends up getting fired for the disastrous failure of this show, which drew less than 5,000 fans in the Louisiana Super Dome and drew the lowest rating of any Clash of the Champions to date. That all happened despite the show being headlined by Ricky Steamboat defending the NWA World Heavyweight Championship against Ric Flair in a Two Out of Three Falls Match that was one of the best matches of the year.The show also featured The Road Warriors defending the NWA Tag Titles against The Varsity Club, The Midnight Express vs. The Samoan SWAT Team, Junkyard Dog vs. Butch Reed, and more.We also discuss this year's Wrestlemania's highs and lows. CM Punk and Roman Reigns had an epic main event. Oba Femi became a star with his victory over Brock Lesnar. On the downside the Cody vs. Randy Orton match was more or less incoherent and featured far too much celebrity involvement. And the entire show was dragged down by the sheer number of ads.
