Im watching alot of early 90s WCW stuff as this is my fave time period in wrestling and im watching COTC and just wondering what exactly was the concept for this show? It wasnt a PPV but had a PPV feel. Can someone explain please?

It was WCW's answer to Saturday Night's Main Event.

Definitely their answer to WWF Saturday Night's Main Event.
Also with Ted Turner owning WCW and TBS, they were able to put some of the Clash of the Champions on during the WWF PPVs to have competition. The Wrestlemania IV and V shows demonstrate that nicely.
By the way, I feel that some of the Clash of the Champions shows were more exciting than the PPV shows WCW put on.

I also thought Clashes were like PPVs and they were a lot bigger than SNME shows.
I was more of a WWF fan but I strongly preferred the Clashes over WWF free TV.
Some of their matches were pure filler and you'd usually have some of the middle years with a jobber or two but it was still nice to see them.
Mike Graham and I think Greg Gagne both claim they told Bischoff no more Clashes after Hogan came. They ran a few more in late 1994 and 1995 but they kind of disappeared through most of 96 and the last one I think was August 1997. Leave it to Graham or Gagne to take something special or put a halt to it.

snme & cotc (and the 5 friday nbc wwf main event episodes) were my 3 fav shows growing up. i checked the tv guide every week for them and got so excited when there was one on and yes some of them were better than ppv's for sure    |
