He had a pretty good run as part of Kronik in WCW

And his WCW run as Wrath, he was headed towards being a maineventer until Nash pinned him and stopped all his momentum. He was getting over pretty big with his undefeated streak



imo,..that was the job that signaled the beginning of the end for wcw.

that job is exactly why nash was headed to disaster as booker.

Always liked the Adam Bomb character. Crush too (until he turned heel :scusthov:). They were quick for their size, but weren't properly used in the mid 90s.

Kronik >

Anyone seen Clark's shoot from years ago? Dude was goin' in about how much of a whore HBK's wife was in WCW :pachaha:

He also talked about how he was bein' built to have a big match against Goldberg when he got repacked, but got injured. The way he pitched it sounded like it would've been ill too :leon:


wcw job'n him out to nash and not being pieced together as a rogue heel for goldberg with steiner.

to change the producr by slow burn from the nwo.

imo is how wcw ruined what they had left to finish compete'n with the wwf.

wrath was on fire!!!!

for nash to job him out was shortsighted and completely ignorant.

Agree. Nash was stopping any momentum of anybody that could threaten his position. WCW was crazy for giving him booking authority

if wcw would have kept wrath as formidable and undefeated as goldberg.

the inevitable draw could have helped swing wcw out of the nwo.

with two poeerhouse bigmen as the main focus in wrath amd goldberg at that time.

an inevitable goldberg/wrath feud would have been big bucks for everyone.

plus moved wcw back into a bigman drawing wrasslin based territory.

with a mixed bag of villains from the nwo to feed them.


plus the mixture of me nwo guys from hogun to sting.

just god awful self serving grandiose booking into disaster by nash.

Well they did bring Kronik in awhile after Vince bought WCW according to Clark's Wiki

Due to the lackluster match, both were sent down to developmental territories to work off ring rust, but Clark refused to do so and was soon released from his contract.

dude should of got his shyt together IMO because they were a decent tag-team

Lmao 4 year bump over Adam Bomb. He didn't go anywhere because he wasn't that good. Couldn't carry a match that wasn't a squash to save his life. He was dope in squashes, though. But put him in a match that had to go more than 5 minutes and it was garbage.

He had a GREAT look, though. Especially in WCW. If he was marginally better, he probably would have been a world champ at some point.

this is against Eugene, btw. Good guy Uncle Eric got Eugene some job spots on Nitro/Thunder in 1998.

I can't lie to y'all. Watching 1997 WCW back in 2016, I very much enjoy the Blood Runs Cold angle. It doesn't fit in AT ALL with the rest of the show, it has zero promos, all the story is told in ring, and I fukking love Kanyon. You have all your NWO shyt, Stang hanging out in the rafters, DDP/Macho...and then you have this Mortal Kombat story with pit fighters trying to gouge eyes out with a mysterious spiky helmet. It's so lol it's great.

Those Brian Clark gifs look brutal (in a good way). The Wrath character right now would be getting a couple main event matches, subpar wrestling and all. I really don't remember how he sounded on the mic cause i don't remember him doing promise much. He was just an ass kicker, and sometimes, that's all you need.
