Adam Bomb, the Nightmare of Nuclear Armageddon. Wrath, charter member of Blood Runs Cold. Member of Kronik, a tag team with an infamous track record. Now it’s time to meet the man behind these historic characters as Bryan Clark decided it was time for once and for all to set the record straight in RF VIDEO’s latest exclusive shoot interview! Clark is out of the wrestling business for good and was able to finally exercise some long held demons in this exhaustive shoot that covers his entire career from starting at the Power Plant through his well remembered runs in WCW and WWF.
Clark has surprisingly been all around the wrestling landscape and has plenty of tales, including what it was like to work for Smokey Mountain Wrestling as the Nightstalker. Onward to New York, Clark explains in great detail about how the Adam Bomb character was created and exactly what input he had. You’ll get the inside scoop on how Clark got along with his manager (Raven) as well as thoughts on each member of the Cliq. Hold on to your hats for this one, as Clark has no problem at all describing his intense disgust at some of the actions of Scott Hall, HBK, and Sean Waltman. Of course you’ll also get Clark’s unique perspective on all of his major programs in the Fed as well his thoughts on all the big stars of the locker room. Owen Hart, Randy Savage, and Jim Ross are just three of the many names who are discussed in full detail.
After WWE, Clark made his way down south to Atlanta and we are privy to all the details of his meetings with Eric Bischoff. Who came up with the Wrath gimmick? What did Clark think about the Blood Runs Cold team and his push with Mortis? How was Scott Hall in WCW compared to WWE? You’ll get shockingly candid stories on Bam Bam Bigelow, Chris Candido, and Kevin Sullivan as well his thoughts on all the big WCW names including Flair, Luger, Nash, Sting, Shane Douglas and more. And we mean everyone as even Tank Abott gets his turn in the fire.
After WCW folded, Clark eventually made his way back to New York as part of Kronik. You’ll get all the details on what, if anything, had changed in WWE since he left as well. How did Clark like working with Stevie Richards? How did Brian Adams’ death change how Clark saw the world? This is one shoot DVD that goes all across the emotional gamut from intense to mournful as we stripped all of the face paint and gimmicks off Bryan Clark and revealed the man beneath.
