WCW 2001

[Gareth7]

I was never particularly good at school. My Fathers money got me into College but it couldn’t keep me there. Education just wasn’t for me, it wasn’t that I was dumb I just didn’t care and I thought I could just live off my Fathers money for the rest of my life. My Father was pretty damn rich, he was a top Lawyer down in Atlanta and represented many famous people among them WCW honcho Ted Turner and believe me he gave my father about 50% of his work in a year. He was always being sued by someone. Well after I left College I just had fun, It was great. Then out of the blue one day my father dropped a bombshell he told me to get a job or get out. I was pretty hammered I wasn’t qualified to do anything but I got a few menial labour jobs and a job in a bar. I hated it. All my life I had lived this cushy lifestyle now I was just another guy trying to scrape together the rent. Now my father happened to mention to Ted Turner how bad a job I was going in my life, he also mentioned how big a wrestling fan I was. Hell I had always loved wrestling. We used to get Jim Crockett promotions on cable, everyone was so jealous all my friends used to come to my house and we would watch the matches. It was like the superbowl every week or something my favourite was “Rowdy“ Roddy Piper, not because he was a great wrestler but because he could talk up a storm . Then when WWF raided the territories I would watch their programming, it was ok. I wasn’t buying that Hulkamania bullshit but, they had other great workers like Rick Rude, Randy Savage and Ricky Steamboat to name but a few. I had watched WCW while I was watching the F. It wasn’t what it once was though. Still a good company but light years from the WWF in any other department. Anyway my Dad told Turner what a big wrestling fan I was and he said I could have a job helping out down in the WCW offices in Atlanta. Hell I jumped at it, it wasn’t as glamorous as it might sound I just did paperwork and things helped manage the day to day stuff making calls to arena among other things. I don’t think Turner saw anything in me it was just a favour to my father but hell it was a job and it paid well. I made many friends in the business but without a doubt my best friend in WCW was a announcer and a very bad one and his name was Eric Bischoff. Now I knew Eric was an ambitious guy but he wasn’t highly respected most of the wrestlers poked fun at him behind his back, his only real friends in the company where me and Diamond Dallas Page. Page got flack for hanging around with me and Bischoff but hey he was a good guy and didn’t care what they said. We worked under Bill Watts for awhile until he got himself fired for racist comments in one of those dirtsheet thingy’s. And who replaced him my good friend Eric Bischoff apparently he had been inpressing the Turner people with his ideas, Jesus big jump he never even told me about it. So Eric was WCW Vice-President but more importantly I was his secretary. I was his boy and Eric never forgot me, not that I agreed with everything he did but even when he was on top Eric still treated me like a peer, unfortunately I got tarred with the same brush as Eric. After a while he even put me on the booking team. I was extremely happy about this but there was a problem, it was at the expense of Arn Anderson. Now you can predict peoples response everyone especially Ric Flair was livid. What was I to do I had my dream job so I just went along with it. I had many arguments with Eric about he was running the company but we remained friends and I got to actually get input into the product and Eric even wanted me to personally manage the booking for the new show he was pioneering, Thunder, man was I ever happy. Sadly disaster struck. Eric was fired and WCW was in the shit good and proper. Then the messiah arrived Vince Russo, pity was he sucked at almost everything. I was surprised I still had a job, I was one of the main people involved in the Bischoff era or so it seemed. Fortunately Turner never forgot my father but that didn’t stop me being kicked swiftly off the booking team and demoted to helping out with the production crew. I did that for two long years but things got progressively worse for WCW. Russo was not who he had claimed and he proceeded to run the company into the crowd by putting the belt on people who couldn’t carry it. Sure Jeff Jarrett was a nice guy but 4 time champion and leader of the nWo hell my 5 year old kid wasn’t buying that. So Eric was brought back and I got my old job as his assistant but there wasn’t a place for me on the booking team so I kept on going. Soon both Bischoff and Russo were gone and the company was in a real mess. Starracade got the lowest buyrate it had got for 10 years and the WWF were kicking our ass in the ratings. Eric was obsessed with destroying the WWF and in the end it destroyed him and lost him, his job. I saw a Shawn Michaels t-shirt a while back that said “Don’t hunt what you can’t kill” I sent that t-shirt to Eric for Christmas, he didn’t find it funny. In 2001 Ted decided to give WCW one last shot or kick it off TNT or TBS he wanted a new Vice-President he actually had to advertise nobody at WCW even wanted the job Ric Flair rejected it several times and Turner was in a real pickle. I had a conversation with my father in which he told me that if Turner didn’t get a new owner soon he was going to sell it as he couldn’t hold out for ever. At that moment a light switch clicked inside my head. Turner would give just about anybody the job he was so desperate and hell I may not have been Vinnie Mac or Jim Crockett but I had more experience then most. Ted had once appointed Jim Herd (my first boss) to run the company. Herd had virtually no experience in pro wrestling and he used to run Pizza Hut, yet he still got the job. I thought it over for awhile and came to the conclusion that if he would let Herd run WCW then why not me? I had worked for the company for almost 10 years and new it outside in. With great trepidation I requested a meeting with Mr. Turner. We talked for a long time about the state of the company. He asked me did I know what I was getting into and I said I did, he told me how he would be taking a huge risk by putting me incharge, I pointed out Eric and Jim Herd and he seemed defensive. He told me he was going to sell the company anyway so he may as well give me a chance to turn it around. He told me I had 31 weeks to change the company or he would remove it from TBS and TNN and put it up for sale. I thanked him and I told him I wouldn’t let him down. Like that I was the new Vice President of WCW and I was in for a hell of a ride.

[The One Bad Ass Outlaw]

Fair backstory, but paragraphs are your friend.

[Gareth7]

From Prowrestlingnews.com

WCW Have appointed a new Vice-President and that man is Gareth Cross. Cross has been with the company for nearly 10 years and has previously worked on the booking team. This is a huge surprise as Cross hadn't been mentioned before but he is apparently a friend of the Turner family and is a close friend of Eric Bischoff

[Gareth7]

This was the last thing I needed. Someone like Ric Flair publicly speaking out against me. Flair had a lot of stroke with the younger guys who looked up to him and he could easily turn them against me. I decided to have a clear the air meeting with him and he agreed to attend. First though I had to look over the WCW talent and decide what to do next. I decided to remove WCW Saturday Night from our programming. There was just no need for 3 shows Nitro and Thunder was enough TV exposure plus 3 house shows. I decided to establish a booking committee which I was going to ask Flair to be part of.

We definitely needed to trim the roster , I came to terms with the following people over their release.

Ron Harris

Don Harris

Reno

Miss Elizabeth

Brian Knobbs

Kid Romeo

Meng

Larry Zybsko

Kwee-Wee

I was happy with that I released people who I didn’t really think could add much to the WCW product. Eric’s office seemed so much nicer with me in it. I told my secretary (finally after being sectary to everyone in the history of WCW I had my own) Sophie to inform me of Flair’s arrival. I looked at the WCW title’s and decided to add two more. I decided to bring back the TV title. A title that was great In it’s day but had been cheapened by horrible WCW booking. I thought it could be a useful tool in pushing mid-card wrestlers to the next level. I also decided to highlight the cruiserweight division further by giving it it’s very own set of tag titles. By the time of my meeting with Flair I was feeling very proud of myself and that fact that I had got a lot done in my first day. Finally Flair arrived and entered my office with a stern look on his face. I knew that was my only chance I either got him on board now or lost him forever.

Me: Ric I know you think I was Bischoff’s boy and I am not going to deny that we were close and I got on with him. Though that doesn’t mean I agree with the way he did business. Eric wanted to kill the WWF any way he could right now my main aim is keeping WCW alive and I want you to be a part of it.

Ric: I heard all this before from Bischoff who’s to say you wont screw me over.

Me: Well to assure that you have some power id like to offer you a position on the booking committee

This shocks Flair he thinks it over for a second

Ric: One Condition

Me: Name it

Ric: Arn is on it too.

Me: He already is

Ric: Yeah, well ummm thanks I suppose

I cut him off

Me: I didn’t hire Arn as a favour to you I did it because he has a great wrestling brain and will be a useful edition.

Ric: Ok well then count me in….. just don’t screw me over

Ric got up and left and I sort of had him on side. I couldn’t help but feel pleased Ric could have played hardball but he decided to help me out and he will be a valuable guy to have around.

So the booking committee was set:

Me

Ric Flair

Arn Anderson

Bill Banks

Ed Ferrera

Helen Cuthill

James Kirk

Katy- Jayne Myers

Kevin Sullivan

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I will use the booking committee for meetings and things now and again to add to the diary.

I have beat the best and tonight you will be another name added to the list of people that have fallen to “The Franchise”. So I hope your ready to get your ass huh huh huh Franchised!

Finish: Sid dominated most of this match although Douglas did have a few bright spots he could have had the match won when he removed a chain from his shorts and the ref didn’t spot it but as he went to take a swing at Sid, Sid met him with a choke slam for the 1-2-3!

Winner: Sid

Sarge and Goldberg v KroniK

Tony: As you all know Sarge’s arm is pretty hurt after Totally Buff broke it 2 weeks ago on Nitro just to get at Goldberg and Sarge is in no position to perform tonight!

Scott: Don’t forget if Sarge is pinned then Goldberg is gone from WCW forever due to the stipulation that Goldberg must go one better than his old streak here in WCW or get fired. To keep his job he must get 174 straight wins and he is currently at 35 and showing no signs of stopping!

Finish: For the early part of the match KroniK worked over Sarge’s arm and got two near falls. Sarge managed to find the energy to tag in Goldberg and when he did all hell broke loose. He threw Bryan Clarke right out of the ring and Speared and Jackhammerd Brian Adams what Goldberg didn’t see however was Totally Buff who had come from the crowd and started working over Sarge’s already injured arm with a lead pipe. By the time Goldberg pinned Adams and realised what was going on the damage was done and Sarge was wheeled up the ramp in agony

Scott: That’s his partner for Sin you ******* he is a human being!

Tony: I know this is a horrible situation but really Scott language, Goldberg already had the odds stacked against him for Sin and now he is in Big Trouble

*Commercial Break”

Totally Buff v Scott Steiner and Jeff Jarrett with Midajah

Finish: Totally Buff seemed pleased with their attack on Sarge before and gave 100% in this match. Jeff Jarrett was starting to get the advantage over Buff Bagwell when Ric Flair’s mystery man stormed the ring and went after Scott Steiner when The Mystery Man floored Steiner and Jarrett the ref called for the bell.

Winners: Scott Steiner and Jeff Jarrett by DQ

He entered the ring and was met with a reverse kick which sent the chair into his face from the Cat (who came through the crowd.) Cat fled but Nash got up and as DDP tangled with Palumbo and O’Haire Nash hit the Jacknife Powerbomb for the 1-2-3

Winners: InSiders

Jimmy: The Cat saved the day

Mike Tenay: Mike Sanders is fuming, up next the main event!

*Commercial Break*

Special Referee Match

Goldberg v Buff Bagwell

Referee: Ric Flair

Finish: Thanks to the Nature Boy Ric Flair, Buff was forced to do things right which made him easy prey for the powerful Goldberg. Goldberg used his power moves to wear Buff down and made him pay for what he did to Sarge. When the time came Goldberg hit the spear followed by the Jackhammer which was as always followed by the 1-2-3 counted fairly by The Nature Boy!

Winner: Goldberg (36-0)

Jimmy: Here comes Lex Luger!

*Luger comes down the ramp and starts brawling with Goldberg, Ric Flair tries to step in but is hit with a Biff Blockbuster. As “Totally Buff Continue the attack Sarge makes his way down into the ring and attacks Luger from behind*

Mike: Oh my god it’s Sarge

Jimmy: He’s here to help Goldberg

*Thunder ends with all 5 men fighting it out in the ring*

WCW Monday Nitro 8 January 2001

Tony: Welcome everyone to WCW Monday Nitro where the action is at and where the action is live!

Scott: What a main event we have for you folks by the order of the CEO himself Scott Steiner will take on Sid in a non title match tonight!

Tony: But, first Stacy Keibler has an announcement to make

Scott: We always have time for her Tony, did you see the bikini contest on Thunder?

Tony: I may have scanned over it briefly

Scott: Yeah? Whatever Tony let’s just hear what Miss Keibler has to say

*Stacy makes her way down to the ring and gets a huge pop from the male fans*

Stacy: Is everyone having a good time tonight?

*Crowd go wild*

Stacy: As much as I would like to stay here and chat to all my adoring fans, sadly WCW doesn’t pay me to socialize and I have some business to attend to

*Crowd boo*

Stacy: I would like to introduce you all to my new “Clients” future WCW Cruiserweight Tag Team Champions Destination X

*A.J Styles and Christopher Daniels make their way to the ring amid some crowd enthusiasm*

Stacy: With my guidance these two are heading straight for the top and there is nothing anyone can do about it!

A.J: Jaime Noble, Evan Karagias, there is no chance in hell you two are gonna beat us at Sin. We are the two best cruiserweights this company has and you two are just a redneck and a boy band wannabe. With the lovely Stacy at our side Destination X are truly “Phenomenal”

*Daniels nods in agreement*

Daniels: Tonight I face Noble one on one and If you think I am going to save myself for the pay per view Jamie you have another thing coming. Tonight you are about to get a taster of the beating you will endure at Sin, enjoy!

*Commercial break*

Tony: Welcome back to Nitro everyone, if you are just joining us Stacy Keibler just introduced her new tag team Destination X, your thoughts Scott?

Scott: The fact that we are going to see Stacy every week from now on Tony can only be good news!

Tony: Well let’s go over to Commissioner Mike Sanders who has an announcement to make

*The screen shows Mike Sander sitting in his office*

Mike: I would like to book 2 big matches for tonight. In preparation for their big tag team title match at Sin my boys Chuck Palumbo and Sean O’Haire will take on KroniK. And as a favour to my good friend Lex Luger in punishment for what he did at Thunder Sarge will take on “The Total Package” in 1 on 1 competition!

Tony: Tonight Sarge and Luger 1 on 1!

Scott: Sarge is going to get his ass kicked

Tony: What will Goldberg do? He can’t let Sarge take on a seasoned veteran like Luger on his own

Scott: I don’t know but he better start thinking!

Tony: Up next is a match between General Rection and former MIA member Chavo Guerrero

General Rection v Chavo Guerrero

Finish: General Rection proved too heavy for Chavo to combat in this match. Chavo try as he might couldn’t keep Rection down. Rection kicked out of his finisher the tornado DDT and hit a power slam and then climbed up top and hit the No Laughing Matter for the win.

Winner: General Rection

Tony: A good win for General Rection there

Scott: Wait a second here comes “The Franchise”

*Shane Douglas makes his way into the ring and starts a beat down on Rection but is interrupted when the rest of the MIA storm the ring instead of staying for the fight Douglas rolls out of the ring and makes his way up the ramp all the while gesturing to Rection*

Tony: Finally the MIA come to Rection’s rescue

Scott: That Shane Douglas is a nasty piece of work

Tony: Let’s go backstage to Shane Helms who is with Gene Okerlund

Gene: Shane Helms at Sin you face Chavo Guerrero for the WCW Cruiserweight Championship, what are your thoughts?

Helms: Chavo I just watched you get beat by General Rection and the same thing will happen again at Sin only this time it will be I, who is pining you for the 1-2-3! I have been gunning for that title for along time and at Sin I will finally get the chance to take my rightful place as the WCW Cruiserweight Champion of the World!

*Commercial break*

Tony: If you all remember on Thunder Terry Funk said that tonight Crowbar will face an old friend of his in a No 1 Contenders match for the Funker’s hardcore title!

Scott: I wonder who it will be Tony?

*Terry Funk makes his way to the ring with the hardcore title and gets a good pop from the crowd*

Terry: Tonight Crowbar you get the beating of a lifetime when you take on an old friend of the Funker’s. I’ve never been one for games, so im just going to say it. Tonight Crowbar you will face “The Innovator of Violence” Tommy Dreamer!

Tony: Oh My God!!!! Tommy Dreamer here in WCW

*Tommy dreamer comes out in a ECW T-shirt as the crowd pops like crazy*

WCW Hardcore Title Number One contenders match

Hardcore Match

Tommy Dreamer v Crowbar with Daffney

Finish: Tommy Dreamer taught Crowbar what it really means to be hardcore in this match, by beating the living hell out of him! Tommy Dreamer left him a bloody mess in the ring after hitting a DDT on a chair for the 1-2-3.

Winner: Tommy Dreamer

*After the match Terry Funk came over and raised Dreamer’s arm and they left the ring together*

Scott: What a great show of sportsmanship from the Funker

Tony: Poor Crowbar

Scott: To hell with Crowbar Tommy Dreamer, Terry Funk one on one at Sin for the hardcore title

Tony: What a match that will be!

Christopher Daniels with A.J Styles and Stacy Keibler v Jamie Noble with Evan Karagias

Finish: In a very even encounter which saw some of the best wrestling on Nitro for many a year, Daniels remained victorious. Both men pulled out all the stops in a match that can only be described as a classic. In the end Daniels hit the Angels Wings for the 1-2-3 and he AJ and Stacy celebrated in the ring. After the match Noble and Karagias attacked with Karagias hitting the victory roll on Stacy. This infuriated Styles who hit a Styles clash on Evan and left the two of them lying

Winner: Christopher Daniels

Tony: How could Evan do that to a woman?

Scott: I don’t know but all hell is going to break loose between these two teams at Sin!

*Commercial Break*

*Goldberg is seen in Ric Flair’s office*

Goldberg: Come on Ric you can’t send Sarge out there to fight Luger!

Flair: Listen Bill I can’t keep bailing you out you need to learn to sort out your own problems

Goldberg: You have already advertised Me and Sarge v Totally Buff at Sin if Sarge gets hurt it could cost you some money!

*This seems to hit home with Flair*

Flair: Ok your right Bill ill make a no DQ match ok?

*Goldberg nods and leaves looking anxious*

Tony: Thank god for Ric Flair

Scott: Something tells me Sarge won’t be on his own tonight!

*A video package plays saying that a new member will be joining Team Canada next week*

Tony: A new member of Team Canada ey, wonder who it could be

Scott: Who cares all Canadians suck anyway

Tony: Thank you Scott Hudson for alienating our entire Canadian audience

Sean O’Haire and Chuck Palumbo v KroniK

Finish: O’Haire and Palumbo gave a very convincing display here tonight. They showed they are a force to be reckoned with by outshining veterans Kronik and pinning them Clean when O’Haire hit the Seanton Bomb for the 1-2-3

Winners: Sean O’Haire and Chuck Palumbo

Tony: Up next a David v Goliath encounter

Scott: Sarge v Lex Luger……

Sarge v Lex Luger

Finish: Lex Luger dominated most of this match taunting Sarge and making a laughing stock out of him. He exercised the no DQ rule as well hitting Sarge with a low blow and sending him down to the canvas. All the while we could see Goldberg’s reaction in the back as the situation got worse and worse for Sarge it got harder for him to keep away from the match. Luger went to the outside to get a steel chair and he got ready to hit Sarge’s injured arm with it. Finally Goldberg snapped and made for the ring. Luger was still in a state of shock at Goldberg’s arrival and he quickly speared and jack hammered him. Goldberg then took the barely conscious Sarge and draped him over Luger. Goldberg fought off Bagwell who had come down to try and make the save and the referee counted 1-2-3

Winner: Sarge

Tony: OH MY GOD SARGE DID IT, he beat Luger!

Scott: He got by with a little help from his friend’s Tony.

*Goldberg hoists Sarge up on his shoulders as they celebrate with the crowd, while Buff Bagwell helps a seething Lex Luger to the back*

Tony: This is one of the greatest moments in Nitro history Scott

Scott: Meh if you like the cheesy stuff!

Tony: Let’s go backstage to Mene Gene who is with Jarrett, Midajah and Scott Steiner ahead of his back non title match with Sid

Mene Gene: Scott Steiner, Jeff Jarrett we all know that you are on edge with the mystery man stalking you so how do you feel ahead of your big match at Sin

Steiner: Listen up Gene. I go out there each and every night and put on the best matches anyone’s ever seen. I do it for my peeps and my freaks and no mystery man is going to stop “Big Poppa Pump”

Jarrett: Listen up Prehistoric Slapnuts, you are looking at the greatest champion in WCW history and “The Chosen One” Jeff Jarrett two fine champions that we are, and you think we are worried about the mystery man! Do you know why he won’t reveal himself, because hes running scared. He knows what will happen when we find out who he is. He will get the ass whipping of a lifetime so here’s a message to the mystery man. Why don’t you reveal yourself so we can just kick your ass now and so that you don’t ruin Sin for us all!

Gene: That was different!

*Commercial break*

Scott Steiner with Midajah v Sid

Finish: Sid dominated most of this match though Steiner got a near fall with the Steiner-plex. Sid hit him with the big boot and a choke slam Midajah distracted the referee and when Sid went to get him to make the count Jarrett levelled him with the acoustic equalizer and this allowed Steiner to cover him for the 1-2-3

Winner: Scott Steiner

*Steiner and Jarrett started laying into Sid and then the lights went out and Jarrett and Steiner Froze and words flashed across the big screen like lightning bolts “The Mystery Man is coming at Sin” at this Jarrett and Steiner got out of the ring and gestured to the screen as if willing it to come out and fight*

Tony: The Mystery Man is playing mind games with Steiner and Jarrett Scott

Scott: It will all come to a head at Sin!

Tony: What a show it’s been folks don’t forget Nitro Thursday Nights on TBS and don’t forget to join us here on Nitro next week where the action is and the action is live!

*Video airs recapping what happened at Nitro*

Jimmy: Hello everyone im the “The Mouth of the South” Jimmy Hart alongside Mike Tenay

Mike: Welcome to WCW Thursday Night Thunder in what promises to be yet another great show!

Jimmy: We are on the road to Sin and things are just starting to heat up with many big matches already confirmed!

Mike: Well lets get down to business Jimmy Hart, now at Nitro Team Canada told us that their newest member would be debuting tonight at Thunder!

Jimmy: You know im starting to get sick and tired of these Canadians if they don’t like America they don’t have to stay here!

Mike: Well here comes Team Canada now it seems we will find out who their newest member is soon enough!

*Team Canada music plays and they make their way down to the ring, led by Lance Storm amid boos from the crowd*

Lance: If I could be serious for a minute

*Crowd boos even louder*

Lance: Tonight yet another great Canadian debuts here in the WCW!

Lance: He is a great friend of mine and one of the best technical wrestlers Canada has ever produced, and I think that’s saying something!

Lance: The newest member of Team Canada is….. “The King of Old School” Steve Corino!!!!!!

*Corino makes his way down to ringside as the crowd boo even louder*

Lance: I come from Calgary Alberta Canada and there we give newcomers a good reception. This is just another example of how you Americans have no class at all

Lance: All rise for a special playing of the Canadian National Anthem to welcome Steve Corino to Team Canada

*Team Canada stand to attention but just then The Filthy Animals come to spoil the party and the crowd go nuts*

Lance: What the hell do you want!

Konnan: Hey chill ese, if this Steve Corino is so good how about you let him take me on, one on one tonight and we will see how good he really is?

Corino: Konnan, your on!

Mike: A huge singles match tonight it will be Konnan taking on Steve Corino!

*Commercial Break*

Mike: Well folks if you were watching Nitro you would have seen that horrible attack on Stacy Keibler by Evan Karagias. Well as a results of that Ric Flair has granted A.J Styles a 1 on 1 match with Evan Karagias tonight

Jimmy: I hope Stacy isn’t hurt

Mike: First thought lets go backstage were Gene Okerlund is with Destination X

Gene: Destination X, Stacy Keibler after Noble and Karagia’s attack last week how are you feeling

Stacy: My neck is still sore but the doctor said it would be ok in 2-3 weeks.

A.J: What kind of sick freaks are you that would hit a defenceless woman! You will pay for what you did tonight Evan, I will make sure of it! You think you can put your hands on our manager? You are very VERY wrong. When it’s all said and done tonight Evan and I have left you on your ass, the world will realise that I am Truly “Phenomenal!”

A.J Styles with Stacy Keibler and Christopher Daniels v Evan Karagias with Jamie Noble

Finish: A.J made Evan pay for what he did in this match. He pulled out all the stops and made Karagias look like crap. Styles hit a moonsault to the outside and when Noble tried to interfere Daniels started brawling with him on the outside. When Evan started a comeback he started to gesture to Stacy on the outside who jumped up onto the apron and slapped him. When he turned around he was met with the Styles Clash for the 1-2-3

Winner: A.J Styles

*After the match both teams started to brawl but Destination X knocked Jamie and Evan well and truly on their ass*

Mike: Jamie Noble and Evan Karagias are disgusting Jimmy!

Jimmy: That is sure to be one hell of a match at Sin!

Mike: Up next folks we have Terry Funk and Tommy Dreamer teaming up to take on Crowbar and a partner of his choice

*Crowbar and Daffney make their way down to the ring to little crowd response*

Crowbar: Tonight is my chance to take my revenge on the so called Hardcore Legends Tommy Dreamer and Terry Funk! So I am going to team up with one of my best friends in pro wrestling David Flair!

Mike: David Flair returns to WCW tonight on Thunder!

Jimmy: Of all the people in WCW he chose David Flair?

Mike: Flair is an accomplished athlete Jimmy

Jimmy: Whatever I would have chose a world champion or something, but David Flair?

Terry Funk and Tommy Dreamer v Crowbar and David Flair with Daffney

Finish: Crowbar’s revenge didn’t exactly go according to plan. He and Flair were no match for the experience of Funk and Dreamer. That didn’t stop them trying though but in the end it wasn’t enough when Dreamer hit the spicolli driver on Crowbar for the 1-2-3.

Winners: Tommy Dreamer and Terry Funk

Mike: Up next we have the newly debuting Steve Corino taking on Konnan

Jimmy: I think Corino has what it takes to be a major player in the future of WCW

Steve Corino with Team Canada v Konnan with Filthy Animals

Finish: Corino was very impressive in his WCW debut. He had a very good match with Konnan who did his best but couldn’t stop Corino’s momentum. Major Gunns tried to distract Konnan a few times but he wasn’t affected. Near the end Konnan went for the 187 but missed and Corino hit him with the old school expulsion for the 1-2-3

Winner: Steve Corino

Mike: Impressive performance here from Steve Corino

Jimmy: I told you Tenay watch this space!

*Commercial Break*

*Video footage is shown of MIA coming to General Rection’s aid after an attack by Shane Douglas on Nitro*

Mike: As a result of that it is Corporal Cajun taking on Shane Douglas here tonight

Jimmy: Well done to Shane Douglas for taking care of these MIA idiots

Mike: You seemed to like them more when they had Major Gunns

Jimmy: ..

*Shane Douglas makes his way down to the ring amid boos*

Shane: Rection, you couldn’t get the job done yourself could ya? Now you have to send out one of your little soldiers to get the job done for you! It’s only a matter of time til I get my hands on that United States title Rection come Sin your mine. So Cajun prepare to get your ass *cocky laugh* FRANCHISED!

Shane Douglas v Corporal Cajun

Finish: Shane Douglas made light work of Corporal Cajun in this match? He just wore him out for the first 5 minutes then quickly hit the Franchise for the 1-2-3

Winner: Shane Douglas

*After the match Shane Douglas coninuted the beat down on Cajun until General Rection came down for the save and layed Douglas out with the power bomb*

Mike: Finally Douglas got what was coming to him

Jimmy: He certainly handled Cajun with ease though

Mike: Let’s go to commissioner Mike Sanders office where he has an announcement to make

*Scene opens with Sanders and the natural born thrillers in his office*

Sanders: Flair your not the only person who can book matches around here, get your ring gear on Cat because your taking on myself and Jeff Jarrett in a handicap match next!

Mike: Oh come on, now really

Jimmy: He’s the commissioner Tenay he can do what he wants!

*Commercial Break*

Mike Sanders and Jeff Jarrett v The Cat with Miss Jones

Finish: Sanders and Jarrett took it in turns to wear down the cat during this match. Every time the cat mounted any kind of momentum they just made the tag and continued the beat down. Sanders hit the 3.0 but instead of going for the pin he tagged in Jarrett for the beat down to continue. Jarrett wore him down for a few more before hitting the stroke for the 1-2-3

Winners: Mike Sanders and Jeff Jarrett

Jimmy: The Cat took quite a beating there

Mike: No doubt trying to wear him down before their match at Sin, Mike Sanders is despicable!

Jimmy: Well up next is our huge main event

Goldberg, Diamond Dallas Page and Kevin Nash v Lex Luger, Chuck Palumbo and Sean O’Haire

Finish: In a great main event both teams gave 110%. It started off with DDP and O’Haire slugging it out but before DDP could hit the diamond cutter he made the tag to Palumbo who spent a few minutes getting destroyed by Nash. Nash and DDP started brawling with O’Haire and Palumbo on the outside which left Goldberg and Luger in the ring alone. Before Luger could do anything Goldberg hit a quick Spear and Jackhammer for the 1-2-3.

Winner: Nash, DDP and Goldberg (38-0)

Mike: What a main event!

Jimmy: Goldberg’s streak continues

Mike: Be sure to watch Nitro this Monday Night on TNN it’s goodnight from myself and “The Mouth of the South” Jimmy Hart!

*Thunder ends with Goldberg Nash and DDP posing in the ring*

Tony: That Mike Sanders really cheeses me off

Scott: Tony why do you say words like cheeses?

Tony: …, with that lets get the first match underway

Steve Corino and Elix Skipper v Billy Kidman and Rey Mysterio Jr.

Finish: A great cruiser match. Corino failed in his bid to keep Rey and Kidman on the mat so he could use his various holds on them but inevitably the match was taken up top by the Filthy Animals. Team Canada couldn’t keep up the pace and Rey pinned Skipper for the 1-2-3 after a flying Huricanrana

Winner: Billy Kidman and Rey Mysterio Jr.

*After the match Storm and Awesome came down and started to lay a beating on The Filthy Animals Awesome hit an Awesome bomb on Kidman before Konnan ran in for the save*

Konnan: Orale me raza!

Tony: Strong words there from the Filthy Animals, up next is our Cruiserweight title match between Mike Sanders and Chavo Guerrero Jr.!

WCW Cruiserweight Title Match

Mike Sanders v Chavo Guerrero Jr.

Finish: Mike Sanders fared well in this match showing what a good wrestler he really was. Just as Sanders was in control and was ready to go for his finisher the 3.0 when “Can’t get you out of my heart” hit the PA and Shane Helms hit the ring and attacked Chavo he hit him with a Vertabreaker and a Nightmare on Helms street on Chavo which made the referee rule it a no contest

Winner: No Contest (Chavo Retains)

*After the match Sanders was furious but there was nothing he could do*

Scott: Revenge is sweet Tony

Tony: Sanders had the cruiserweight title won, well ive always said bad things happen to bad people!

*Commercial Break*

*Scott Steiner is walking around alone backstage when suddenly he is attacked from behind by the mystery man. They start brawling and The Mystery Man levels Steiner with a chair until Jarrett hears the noise and comes out to investigate then he flees, the camera fades with Jarrett checking on Steiner*

Scott: The mystery man strikes again!

Tony: Where does this leave our main event will Steiner be able to compete?

Scott: Of course he’s the champ Tony!

*Buff Daddy hit’s the PA and Buff Bagwell makes his way down to ringside posing and taunting the fans*

Buff: Tonight Cat, I do my friend Mike Sanders a favour and I kick your ass. But I am under strict orders to leave just a little bit of Cat for Sanders at Sin. Tonight cat your gonna get tamed because im Buff and im “The stuff”

Buff Bagwell v The Cat

Finish: Buff dominated most of this match and had chances to win but instead he just kept wearing the Cat down per Mike Sanders instructions. Finally after just beating him down for around 15 he hit the Buff Blockbuster and taunted the crowd and when the referee went over to ask him to finally pin the cat he levelled him. Suddenly Goldberg’s music hit and he hit the ring he hit a Spear on Bagwell then Luger ran in and Goldberg and Luger started brawling on the outside. While this was going on the Cat was back on his feet and hit the feliner on Buff for the 1-2-3!

Winner: The Cat

Tony: Sanders plan backfired and The Cat got the win with help from Bill Goldberg!

Scott: Depends how you look at it Tony, Buff was sent out here to hurt and wear down the Cat and that’s exactly what he did!

Tony: Lets go backstage to Mene Gene Okerlund who is with WCW Tag Team Champions the InSiders!

Gene: Nash, Page ahead of your big match with the InSiders at Sin who are you guys feeling? And tonight DDP you take on O’Haire in Singles competition how do you feel about that?

Nash: Let me take this first question. Gene I am a former WCW and WWF Champion im a multi time tag champion and you think two kids like Sean O’Haire and Chuck Palumbo worry me? I saw they had potential and I took them and the Natural Born Thrillers under my wing and taught them everything I knew! They decided to throw it all back in my face, that was their choice and I will make them pay for it the only way I know how, in the ring. Come Sin you won’t see “Big Sexy” “The Killer” is coming at Sin!

DDP: Tonight, I take on that punk O’Haire in a singles match and he will get a small preview of exactly what will happen to him at Sin. You see we just got these nice tag team belts and we don’t intend to give them up just as easy as that. Tonight Sean O’Haire you will feel the Bang!

*Commercial Break*

Diamond Dallas Page with Kevin Nash v Sean O’Haire with Chuck Palumbo

Finish: Page showed the youngster that he had a lot to learn in this match. DDP hit him with everything he had but O’Haire still came fighting back. DDP’s experience showed though and it wasn’t long before he signled for the Diamond Cutter for the 1-2-3

Winner: DDP

Tony: Good victory there for DDP will it be the same outcome come Sin?

Scott: Im gonna have to say yes Tony

*Scene opens with Steiner nursing his head and talking to Jarrett backstage*

Jarrett: Don’t worry man I have your back out there tonight

Steiner: You’ve got my back where the hell where you when the mystery man was attacking me?

Jarrett: Listen, Sid and his partner are ours out there tonight

Steiner: Well you better hope so Jeff because I am not in the mood to be screwed around!

Tony: That match is next

*Sid’s music hits and he makes his way down to the ring*

Sid: It took me a while to pick the best partner……….but I chose someone who is at the top of his game right now! I chose Goldberg!

Sid and Goldberg v Jeff Jarrett and Scott Steiner with Midajah

Finish: It was a high power match and Steiner was badly affected from his fight earlier with the mystery man. Goldberg battled Jarrett for most of the match but when Jarrett tagged Steiner in Goldberg did the same with Sid. Sid took advantage of Steiner’s injury and hit him with many high power moves leaving him in great discomfort. The End came when Sid hit the choke slam and covered Steiner for the 1-2-3. Jarrett tried to break the count but Goldberg speared him out of the ring

Winner: Sid and Goldberg

Tony: Don’t forget to get Sin this Sunday live on Pay Per View

Finish: In a good technical Match Team Canada once again came out the victors in this ongoing war between themselves and the Filthy Animals. Konnan had the upper hand for quite a bit of the match as Storm tried to battle out from his high powered moves. Konnan was inevitably screwed in the end though because when Storm was arguing with the referee about the slow count Awesome smacked him in the back of the head with the Canadian flag and when he turned around dazed Storm was able to lock in the Canadian Maple Leaf and Konnan was forced to tap out

Winner: Lance Storm

Buff: You know Lex ill miss having Goldberg around, it was fun to kick his ass from time to time! But come Sin Goldberg you will get the ultimate wrestling experience at Sin because im buff and im the “stuff”

Lex: Im the “Total Package” Lex Luger and together we are

Together: “Totally Buff”

Winners: Totally Buff

Jimmy: Ooo that was tough to watch they got hammered so to speak

Mike: Impressive from Totally Buff, now as you all know the InSiders are embroiled in a intense fued with Sean O’Haire and Chuck Palumbo lets look back at their rivalry these last few weeks!

Winner: Bam Bam, Candido and Shane Douglas

*After the match Shane Douglas took the US title and held it aloft mocking Rection*

A.J battled Evan for most of the match and looked like getting the win when he hit the Styles clash but Noble interfered and Karagias managed to just get the tag. The fresh Noble took advantage of the tired Styles and wore him down for the next few minutes. Noble went for the moonsault but A.J managed to just get out of the way and make the tag to Daniels.

Shane wore Chavo down with a mixture of Mat Wrestling and high flying moves and finally hit the vertebreaker! After he hit it, his team mate Shannon Moore came down the ramp and running into the ring.
