'''Carleton "Carly" Sneed Fiorina'''<ref>[http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/execteam/bios/fiorina.html Former Executive Bios: Carleton S. Fiorina<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> (born '''Cara Carleton Sneed''' on [[September 6]], [[1954]]) is an [[United States|American]] businesswoman. As vice-president at [[AT&T]] in 1996, she directed the strategy and orchestrated the initial public offering (IPO) of [[Lucent]], the most successful IPO in U.S. history up to that point in time. In 1998, ''[[Fortune]]'' magazine listed her as #1 "most powerful woman in business."<ref> {{cite news |last = Sellers |first = Patricia |title = The 50 Most Powerful Women in American Business |publisher = Fortune Magazine |date = 1998-10-12 |url = http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/1998/10/12/249284/index.htm |accessdate = 2008-07-15}}</ref> The next year, Fiorina switched to the technology company [[Hewlett-Packard]] (HP) and became its [[chief executive officer]]. In 2000, she also became HP’s [[chairman of the board]]. With the support of the Board of Directors, she led HP into a controversial merger with rival [[Compaq]] in 2002. During her tenure, the market halved HP’s value and the company incurred heavy job losses.<ref>HP's share price moved from 45.36 to 20.14 during Fiorina's leadership, a performance of -56% (share price data from Bloomberg); the market as a whole, as measured by the benchmark [http://www.djindexes.com/mdsidx/index.cfm?event=showtotalMarketIndexData&perf=Historical%20Values Dow Jones U.S. Large Cap Technology Index,]fell by 51% between 1999-07-19 and 2005-02-09.</ref> When Fiorina was asked by the Board of Directors to step down in 2005, the company stated that Fiorina had put in place “a plan that has given HP the capabilities to compete and win" and that HP "look[ed] forward to accelerating execution of the company's strategy". <ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/newsroom/press/2005/050209a.html |title=News Release: HP Chairman and CEO Carly Fiorina Steps Down |publisher=Hewlett-Packard Company|date=February 9, 2005}}</ref>


The first ''Clash of the Champions'' was held on [[March 27]], [[1988]] by [[Jim Crockett Promotions]] and was entitled '''''NWA: Clash of Champions'''''. Jim Crockett Promotions was sold to [[Ted Turner]] and renamed World Championship Wrestling in 1988, and in 1991, World Championship Wrestling withdrew from the NWA, whereupon the ''Clash of Champions'' event was renamed ''Clash of '''the''' Champions''. WCW continued to air the events until 1997.
Currently Fiorina is an economic advisor to 2008 [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]] presidential candidate [[John McCain]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.townhall.com/Columnists/AmandaCarpenter/2008/03/07/mccain_merges_with_rnc |last=Carpenter |first=Amanda |title=RNC Merges with McCain |publisher=Townhall.com |date=March 7, 2008}}</ref>


==History==
==Early life and education==
Through 1987 and 1988, a bitter event scheduling war broke out between rival wrestling promoters [[Vince McMahon]] and [[Jim Crockett, Jr.]] On [[Thanksgiving (United States)|Thanksgiving]] night 1987, McMahon's [[World Wrestling Entertainment|World Wrestling Federation]] (WWF) aired ''[[Survivor Series (1987)|Survivor Series]]'' against [[Starrcade (1987)|Starrcade]] from Crockett's [[National Wrestling Alliance]] (NWA): two [[pay-per-view]] (PPV) events on the same day. At that time, many cable companies could only offer one live PPV event at a time, and furthermore were presented with an edict from the WWF saying that any cable company that chose to carry Starrcade would be barred from carrying any future WWF events. Hence, the proven WWF PPV was cleared 10-1 over Starrcade.
Cara Carleton Sneed was born in [[Austin, Texas]] to [[Joseph Tyree Sneed III]], a constitutional law scholar, law school professor and dean, and later federal judge, and Madelon Juergens Sneed, a portrait and abstract artist. She attended [[Charles E. Jordan High School]] in [[Durham, North Carolina]] for her senior year; the family frequently relocated during this time.


Following this incident, McMahon was warned by the PPV industry not to schedule PPV events simultaneously with the NWA again. However, he was still not willing to fully cooperate with Crockett, and on [[January 24]] [[1988]], another scheduling conflict took place between the WWF and NWA. The NWA presented the [[Bunkhouse Stampede]] on PPV, while on the same night, the WWF aired the first ever [[Royal Rumble (1988)|Royal Rumble]] for free on the [[USA Network]].
Fiorina received a [[Bachelor of Arts]] [[Academic degree|degree]] in [[philosophy]] and [[medieval history]] from [[Stanford University]] in 1976. She attended the [[UCLA School of Law]] but dropped out after one semester. Fiorina received a [[Master of Business Administration]] (MBA) in [[marketing]] from the [[Robert H. Smith School of Business]] at the [[University of Maryland, College Park]] in 1980. She received a [[Master of Science]] in [[management]] from the [[MIT Sloan School of Management]] under the [[Sloan Fellows]] program in 1989.


In 1988, with the WWF's [[WrestleMania IV]] around the corner, Crockett decided to give McMahon a taste of his own medicine. He would develop his own PPV-caliber event and air it for free on [[TBS (TV network)|TBS]]. The result was the ''Clash of the Champions''.
== Early career==
Fiorina worked various [[Secretary|secretarial]] positions, including at HP as a [[temporary work]]er working for [[Kelly Services]] (then Kelly Girls).


On [[March 27]], [[1988 in television|1988]] &ndash; the same night as ''WrestleMania'' &ndash; the first ''Clash of the Champions'' aired. The first show was of PPV caliber and it made [[Sting (wrestler)|Sting]] a star after he wrestled NWA World Champion [[Ric Flair]] to a 45-minute draw. WCW would repeat the practice again the following year with a Clash coinciding with the WWF's ''[[WrestleMania V]]''. Although the main event of NWA Champion [[Ricky Steamboat]] defeating [[Ric Flair]] in a best of three falls match was widely considered the best wrestling match that took place among the two promotions on that day, [[Nielsen Ratings|ratings]] and attendance for the event fell well below expectations and the practice of conflicting major events would cease until the [[Monday Night Wars]] began in [[1995 in television|1995]].
Fiorina worked as a [[receptionist]] at Marcus & Millichap and was a [[Mortgage broker|broker]] briefly. During her speech at the 2006 ICSC convention in Las Vegas, Fiorina noted that her time at Marcus & Millichap helped her learn how to navigate the business world.


''Clash'' events continued on a sporadic basis over the next nine years, quickly changing focus to become a free marketing vehicle for NWA/WCW PPV events, similar to the WWF's ''Saturday Night's Main Event''. WCW aired the 35th and last ''Clash of the Champions'' on [[August 21]], [[1997 in television|1997]].
Fiorina [[English language learning and teaching|taught English]] in [[Italy]]; her first husband's career had taken them to that country.


==National Wrestling Alliance==
==AT&T (1980-1995)==
===Clash of the Champions I===
Fiorina joined [[AT&T]] in 1980 as a management trainee and rose to become a Senior Vice President.
'''Clash of the Champions I''' took place on [[March 27]], [[1988]] at the [[Greensboro Coliseum]] in [[Greensboro, North Carolina]]. There were 6000 people in attendance and the show drew a 5.6 rating on TBS.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/usa/wcw/clash.html#I | title = Clash of Champions Results (I) | date= March 27 1988 | author = prowrestlinghistory.com}}</ref>This was aired head to head with [[WrestleMania IV|WWF WrestleMania IV]].<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.prowrestlinghistory.com/supercards/usa/wwf/mania.html#IV | title = WWE WrestleMania IV Results | date= March 27 1988 | author = prowrestlinghistory.com}}</ref>

The Clash of the Champions logo

The Clash of the Champions were a series of professional wrestling television specials aired by World Championship Wrestling. The specials were supercards intended to feature pay-per-view caliber matches, similar to the World Wrestling Federation's Saturday Night's Main Event.

The first Clash of the Champions was held on March 27, 1988 by Jim Crockett Promotions and was entitled NWA: Clash of Champions. Jim Crockett Promotions was sold to Ted Turner and renamed World Championship Wrestling in 1988, and in 1991, World Championship Wrestling withdrew from the NWA, whereupon the Clash of Champions event was renamed Clash of the Champions. WCW continued to air the events until 1997.

History

Through 1987 and 1988, a bitter event scheduling war broke out between rival wrestling promoters Vince McMahon and Jim Crockett, Jr. On Thanksgiving night 1987, McMahon's World Wrestling Federation (WWF) aired Survivor Series against Starrcade from Crockett's National Wrestling Alliance (NWA): two pay-per-view (PPV) events on the same day. At that time, many cable companies could only offer one live PPV event at a time, and furthermore were presented with an edict from the WWF saying that any cable company that chose to carry Starrcade would be barred from carrying any future WWF events. Hence, the proven WWF PPV was cleared 10-1 over Starrcade.

Following this incident, McMahon was warned by the PPV industry not to schedule PPV events simultaneously with the NWA again. However, he was still not willing to fully cooperate with Crockett, and on January 24 1988, another scheduling conflict took place between the WWF and NWA. The NWA presented the Bunkhouse Stampede on PPV, while on the same night, the WWF aired the first ever Royal Rumble for free on the USA Network.

In 1988, with the WWF's WrestleMania IV around the corner, Crockett decided to give McMahon a taste of his own medicine. He would develop his own PPV-caliber event and air it for free on TBS. The result was the Clash of the Champions.

On March 27, 1988 – the same night as WrestleMania – the first Clash of the Champions aired. The first show was of PPV caliber and it made Sting a star after he wrestled NWA World Champion Ric Flair to a 45-minute draw. WCW would repeat the practice again the following year with a Clash coinciding with the WWF's WrestleMania V. Although the main event of NWA Champion Ricky Steamboat defeating Ric Flair in a best of three falls match was widely considered the best wrestling match that took place among the two promotions on that day, ratings and attendance for the event fell well below expectations and the practice of conflicting major events would cease until the Monday Night Wars began in 1995.

Clash events continued on a sporadic basis over the next nine years, quickly changing focus to become a free marketing vehicle for NWA/WCW PPV events, similar to the WWF's Saturday Night's Main Event. WCW aired the 35th and last Clash of the Champions on August 21, 1997.
