This Thanksgiving weekend on the Take It Home Podcast, John LaRocca reviews WCW's Clash of the Champions XIII: Thanksgiving Thunder! This event featured some good matches, but many head scratching booking decisions by booker Ole Anderson. Clash XIII famously gave us one of the worst matches on US television between Sid Vicious and The Nightstalker. Ric Flair is once again put in position to have a show saving match and he and "Hacksaw" Butch Reed are up to the task.

This week it's a sensitive topic, and that's how black wrestlers were booked in the AWA compared to other territories. Why are we talking about black wrestlers and not minorities as a whole, and did Verne make it a point to treat them fairly? Did wrestlers talk about how they were treated, why did/didn't Verne play into the stereotypes? Names include "Big Daddy" Gene Lipscomb, Sailor Art Thomas, Rufus R. Jones, Tony Atlas, "Hacksaw" Butch Reed, Larry Cameron and more. Brought to you by our friends at SotaStick.
