WCW WorldWide Taping Results:[/color] 1. Chavo Guerrero, Jr. with Scott Norton defeats Shane Helms with the Brainbuster. 2. Malice with Daffney defeats Christopher Nowinski with a Powerbomb. | WCW Wednesday Thunder on TBS — August 29, 2001 from London, UK. |
The Thunder intro rolls followed by the camera panning the crowd, who all seem as enthusiastic as they were at Monday's taping of Nitro. Mike Tenay and Mark Madden are at the announcer's table and Tenay seems excited to be here in England, however, Madden plays the typical heel and doesn't seem impressed with the country. Tenay announces our main event as The Filthy Animals vs. Jeff Jarrett and The Steiner Brothers after what happened this past Monday. Air Paris and A.J. Styles defeat Elix Skipper and Kid Romeo[/color] In cruiserweight tag action, the team of Air Raid had a huge opportunity here as they went up against the inaugural Cruiserweight Tag Team Champions in Elix Skipper and Kid Romeo, who are both great athletes in their own right. Skipper and Romeo proved exactly why they were the first ever Cruiserweight Tag Team Champions by absolutely picking Paris apart, keeping him in their corner and away from his own where he could have tagged in A.J., who was roaring to go and get into the ring with Elix and Romeo. After countering Skipper's Sidewalk Slam attempt into a Tilt-a-Whirl Headscissors, Paris crawled over to his corner and tagged in A.J. who entered the ring with a Springboard Forearm Smash, taking out Elix in the process. Romeo illegally entered the ring but Styles ducked his clothesline attempt and nailed a Hurricanrana that sent him crashing under the bottom rope and to the floor outside. Elix attempted a Roundhouse Kick on an unsuspecting A.J., but he ducked it and hit Elix with a Bridging German Suplex for the biggest win of his and Paris' young careers! Paris and A.J. embrace outside the ring as Romeo and Skipper can't believe what just went down. Styles and Paris continue their celebration as they head up the ramp, the pair absolutely buzzing! Paisley and Lenny Lane are talking about Kwee-Wee backstage and Lenny tells Paisley that the way he treats her is disgraceful and she should stop hanging around with him. Kwee-Wee appears with his crown and he asks Paisley if she's coming with him or not. She looks at Lenny and back at Kwee-Wee before walking off with Kwee-Wee, leaving Lane alone. Commercial Break[/i] Eric Bischoff is at his desk in his office backstage. Team Canada are in the office and they tell Eric that they are evoking their rematch clause this Monday on Nitro and there's not a thing Eric can do about it. The stable leave as Eric sarcastically wishes them luck. Ric Flair enters the office now and Eric stands up from behind his desk and asks Ric what he wants. Ric tells Eric to calm down and that's here to find out if he found a replacement for Sting at Fall Brawl. Eric isn't happy and tells Eric that he hasn't but he'll find someone. Ric laughs and tells Eric that while he's here, he'd like to inform him that Jeff Jarrett, The Steiner Brothers and Curt Hennig will comprise the rest of Team Flair. Ric leaves and Eric picks up his phone and calls someone. "Hey, it's Eric.. Yeah, Eric Bischoff.. I was just wondering how you would like to come to Nitro next week?"The music of the always eccentric Kwee-Wee hits, and he comes to the ring with Paisley around his arm and the Queen of WCW crown on his head. Kwee-Wee is wearing a dress with a Union Jack, similar to Geri Halliwell which got Kwee-Wee plenty of boo's from the crowd. When inside the ring, Kwee-Wee said that because he's so happy to be here in London tonight, he will put his crown on the line against one of the many fans in attendance tonight! Kwee-Wee picks a girl from ringside, who Paisley runs to with a microphone to get her name. She tells her that her name is "Nikita Waters". Queen of WCW, Kwee-Wee with Paisley defeats Nikita Waters to retain[/color] Nikita Waters is apparently a trained wrestler, but she didn't do much here except get thrown around the ring by the eccentric Kwee-Wee. The hometown girl in Nikita began to fight back, firing away at Kwee-Wee with a series of forearm shots and kicks but Kwee-Wee soon stopped her in her tracks with a big clothesline! Kwee-Wee grabbed her off the mat by the hair and drilled her with a Piledriver for the win. Kwee-Wee isn't finished there as he leaves the ring and goes over to where Nikita was seated. He gets into a confrontation with a man sitting there, who Mike Tenay claims is Nikita's boyfriend. Kwee-Wee swings at him, clubbing him with a wicked right hand and leans him over the guardrail as he repeatedly clubs him with rights and lefts. He pulls him fully over the barricade before launching him into the steel steps! Security come out and restrain Kwee-Wee, who has now snapped back to his usual self as he prances around with his crown and sash. Commercial Break[/i] Gene Okerlund is with the U.S Champion, Shane Douglas who is visibly annoyed as he is pacing around the interview are. Gene asks him for his thoughts about his upcoming title defense against the crazed Vampiro. Douglas tells Gene that his only worry right now is getting Torrie back after Vampiro kidnapped her. Douglas promises to franchise Vampiro's goofy ass and bring Torrie home. United States Champion, Shane Douglas defeats Vampiro to retainAfter The Franchise sacrificed Vampiro to Bam Bam Bigelow in a tag match several weeks back, Vampiro has been out for revenge on Douglas and it appears The Franchise has bitten off more than he can chew as he has seperate feuds going on with both Bigelow and Vampiro, however, tonight was Vampiro's night for a shot at the U.S Championship. With Vampiro still holding Torrie Wilson hostage, Douglas was clearly off his game allowing Vampiro to take control over him and coming close to leaving with the U.S Championship on several occassions. Bam Bam Bigelow's presence on commentary distracted Vampiro, who was focused on taunting Bigelow and sending a message by attempting the Wham, Bam, Thank you Ma'am but Douglas was able to roll out of the way. From there on out, the match was all Douglas and one Franchiser later and Douglas was able to retain. After the match, Torrie Wilson comes running down the ramp and jumps into the arms of Shane Douglas in the ring. The pair embrace before Bam Bam Bigelow leaves the announce table and enters the ring, forcing Douglas and Torrie to leave. Bigelow has a microphone and he says that Douglas better not have forgotten about Bam Bam because he's the one who is next in line for a title shot - not Vampiro. Bigelow asks for The Franchise to shine the title up real nice because it's coming home to Asbury Park at Fall Brawl! Bigelow drops the mic before grabbing Vampiro and nailing the Greetings From Asbury Park as Douglas watches on clutching his U.S Championship. Commercial Break[/i] A video package plays showing a women training in a ring, pulling off a series of acrobatic and high-risk maneuvers on a male opponent. The scene then changes to the same women walking through what appears to be downtown Toronto. We get a close-up on her face before text reads "Gail Kim debuts this Monday on Nitro". KroniK are backstage talking when Lex Luger approaches them. The pair ask Lex what he wants and he responds by taking his wallet out his back pocket and handing them over $500. He informs Clarke and Adams that he wants them to make sure Buff makes good use of the hospital bed he reserved for him here in London. Buff Bagwell and The Cat defeat KroniK[/color] When news broke that WCW management were punishing KroniK after Brian Adams was removed from a flight bound for Uniondale due to being heavily intoxicated and thus missed the Nitro tapings, Clarke reportedly retaliated by getting into a heated confrontation with Terry Taylor backstage thus causing KroniK to be buried even more than originally planned. Tonight, it was clear that both Clarke and Adams weren't happy as they stiffed not only Bagwell but also The Cat, who are both insanely over with the Brits. KroniK especially stiffed Bagwell which helped sell Luger paying them to injure Bagwell and it was obvious Buff was getting annoyed as he gave back as much as he got. The Cat hit Clarke with the Feliner and Bagwell hit Adams with the Buff Blockbuster before simultaneously covering KroniK and getting the 3 count! As Buff and Cat celebrate, Lex Luger comes storming down the ramp with Dawn Marie closely behind him. He begins yelling at KroniK that they failed and he wants his money back and shoves his finger in their faces as Dawn watches on. Suddenly, they've had enough of him and KroniK nail Luger with the High Times! The pair leave as Dawn attends to Lex. Commercial Break[/i] Hugh Morrus defeats Scott Norton with Chavo Guerrero, Jr.[/color] Highly entertaining big man match here between Morrus and Norton who done a great job in getting the crowd into the match, despite not being interested at first. Chavo Guerrero, Jr. attempted to interfere several times - so much so that Hugh finally had enough and knocked Chavo, Jr. off the ring apron with a forearm that sent him crashing into the guardrail. Norton attacked Morrus from behind and attempted a Scoop Slam but Morrus slipped out and hit a Reverse DDT before climbing to the top and finishing Norton off with the No Laughing Matter to bring this fun match to a close. Morrus celebrates his win by slapping the hands of fans at the front row as he headed up the ramp. Commercial Break[/i] The Filthy Animals are with Gene Okerlund at the interview area. Konnan does the talking, telling Gene that they have a huge opportunity ahead of them tonight and they aren't going to let it slip away from them. Konnan says that himself, Kidman and Rey, Jr. are going to be boarding a flight back to the USA after defeating The Steiner Brothers and Jeff Jarrett! Jeff Jarrett and The Steiner Brothers with Midajah defeat The Filthy Animals with Tygress[/color] This match came together after Jarrett's attempt at breaking his guitar over Konnan's head this past Monday on Nitro until the Cruiserweight Tag Champions, Billy Kidman and Rey Misterio, Jr. made the save and thus Eric Bischoff booked for Konnan, Rey, Jr. and Kidman to take on Jarrett, Scott and Rick of The Magnificent Seven in our main event. The Filthy Animals took one hell of a fight to 3 of the men who will main event Fall Brawl in our main event this week, not giving them anytime to even mount a comeback as their moves were as quick as lightning. Eventually, Scott Steiner's power helped him gain control for him and his team after he caught Rey, Jr.'s attempt at a Springboard Crossbody into a Powerslam. The Filthy Animals began to mount a small comeback but it all came to a screeching halt when Scott hit Rey, Jr. with a T-Bone Suplex before synching in the Steiner Recleiner as Jarrett and Rick stopped Konnan and Kidman breaking up the submission. Jarrett and The Steiner's stand tall in the ring with Midajah as Thunder comes to a close this week from London. © 2001 Fusient Media Ventures/World Championship Wrestling, Inc. [/font][/center]

WCW Thunder; A good tag team match to kick us off, and a good victory for the team of Air Paris and AJ Styles. Interesting segment with Eric Bischoff. I like Team Canada going for their rematch on Nitro, and then Ric Flair revealing the rest of his team. I wonder who Bischoff called? Is it his replacement for Sting? A good win for Kwee-Wee, and I liked the boyfriend stuff afterwards. Shane Douglas retaining the United States Championship was always going to happen, but I like Bam Bam Bigelow's involvement. I'd love to see him take the United States Championship. Pleased to see Buff Bagwell finally getting a win alongside The Cat. Love the KroniK weren't taking no crap from Luger and floored him. Surprised to see Hugh Morrus go over, tbh. Never been a big fan. Obvious victory for Jeff Jarrett and The Steiner Brothers with those been members of Team Flair at Fall Brawl. Overall, a decent episode of Thunder.

Jord, Nitro was a one hell of a show. Almost all the segments provided some kind of entertainment and it was a really great read to me. I’m not surprised that Sting jumped ship, as it makes sense. I may have liked to see him turn heel officially at the pay per view as that could’ve had a bigger impact. The only issue with his promo was that you made it seem like his 1999 heel turn never happened. Anyway, the Candido win, Dusty’s appearance and Bigelow now going for the US Championship were nice things to see. Back to the opening segment, I’m thinking we could eventually see a Hogan/Storm or Awesome feud which should happen to elevate Storm or Awesome. The main event was pretty good, but for some reason I’m not fan of the Insiders winning the straps. I guess for me they don’t need them. I was hoping that Matthews and York would eventually win the straps and allow Storm and Awesome to break out into a singles role. Despite that, Nitro was a truly fabulous show. Well done.
Thunder was a fairly decent show. The opening contest would surely be one hell of a match. I’m trying to think of who Bischoff called, I’m thinking maybe Savage. Kind of surprised that Morrus won his match over Norton, but I like him and a big push would be good to see. The main event made sense for Jarrett and Steiner’s go over since they have War Games coming up. Speaking of which, Fall Brawl looks like a decent card so far. Team Flair needs to get seriously billed up since I’m not sold on them beating Bischoff even with Sting on their side. In any event, it should be a great next few weeks.

Brought to you by Snickers®: "It's nuts!" [/i][/center] - Preview for September 3, 2001With just 3 more weeks of WCW programming left before the climax in the Ric Flair/Eric Bischoff power struggle live on pay-per-view at Fall Brawl, WCW.com has learned that Bischoff will unveil the final member of his team after Sting turned his back on not only Eric but on WCW to join Team Flair. Just who can we expect to see show up live this Monday night on Nitro and as we're all aware, anyone can show up in WCW! Plus, as tensions rise in the battle between Bam Bam Bigelow and the United States Champion, Shane Douglas each week, Bigelow will be in action as he takes on Vampiro and you can bet that Douglas will be on-hand with Torrie Wilson for a closer look at Bigelow. Team Canada's Lance Storm and Mike Awesome are evoking their rematch clause for the World Tag Team Championships after losing the title belts to The InSiders, Kevin Nash and Diamond Dallas Page but can Storm and Awesome bring the gold back to Canada? All this and more only on Nitro![/font]

| WCW Monday Nitro on TNT — September 3, 2001 from the FleetCenter in Boston, Massachusetts |
Scott Hudson and Tony Schiavone are at ringside to call the Nitro action as usual. They welcome us to the broadcast and announce that The Insiders will have their first title defense as Team Canada evoke their rematch clause later tonight.
Chris Candido defeats Shane Helms, Chavo Guerrero, Jr. (with Scott Norton) and Cruiserweight Tag Team Champion, Rey Misterio, Jr. (with Tygress) Electric match to kick the show off tonight as the recently returned Chris Candido, who has been on a roll as of late, battled 3 of the cruiserweight divisions finest stars in Shane Helms, Rey Misterio, Jr. and Chavo Guerrero, Jr. All 4 men put on a superb contest packed with blink-and-you'll-miss-it action from the moment the bell rung and it wasn't clear as to who was going to be leaving Boston with the win. With the Cruiserweight Champion, Yoshihiro Tajiri keeping a close eye on the competition by watching on a monitor backstage, it was obvious that all 4 men -- Candido in particular -- were keen on sending Yoshihiro a message. When Rey, Jr. sent Candido packing to the outside, he appeared to have things going his way as with Helms down also, Rey, Jr. had Chavo all alone in the ring and so he tried to seize the moment by climbing to the top rope. As Scott Norton entered the ring, Tygress got onto the apron and tried to get the referee's attention, however, the referee was distracted by Tygress' presence and oblivious to Norton. With Rey, Jr. still perched on the top rope, Norton grabbed him by the throat and launched him off the turnbuckle and across the ring with one hand! Norton placed Chavo on Rey before leaving the ring as Tygress finally got off the apron. Candido seized the moment by rolling into the ring and shoving Chavo off Rey before hooking Rey's leg himself! 1-2-3 and this one was over.
Candido doesn't hang around as Scott Norton attempts a swing at him! Candido celebrates his victory on the ramp, yelling into the camera that we are looking at the next Cruiserweight Champion.
Commercial Break[/i] The music of the Magnificent Seven plays as Ric Flair leads out Scott Steiner, Jeff Jarrett, Rick Steiner, Curt Hennig, Lex Luger, Dawn Marie and Midajah. Once in the ring, Ric is disgusted at the reaction Boston showed them and he wants them to show a better reaction for the newest member of the Magnificent Seven - "The Icon" Sting! The music of Sting plays as he slowly emerges from the back in a suit but he still has his face paint on. Sting comes down the ramp, totally ignoring the fans who are reaching out to touch him and entering the ring as Dawn holds the rope down for him. Ric is on the microphone first, telling Eric Bischoff that he has absolutely no chance at Fall Brawl and that Sting, Double J, The Steiner Brothers and Curt Hennig are going to do him proud and win him complete control of WCW. Sting takes the mic, saying that he is sick of not being shown respect by not only the WCW fans but Eric Bischoff also. Sting says that a man of his status deserves respect not only from the fans, not only management but also his peers. Sting directs it at Goldberg, telling him that he knows Goldberg and Eric worked together to construct a plan to make sure Sting didn't win the World Championship. Sting warns Goldberg that he is coming for his World Championship and nothing will stop him this time around. Not Eric Bischoff. Not the fans. Not anyone. Sting hands the mic to Ric Flair, who tells Eric that he knows he phoned someone to come here to Nitro to join Team Bischoff at the pay-per-view. Eric appears on the TurnerTron, sarcastically saying hello to Flair. He tells Ric that he is correct and the last member of Team Bischoff is on his way to the arena right now but Ric doesn't need to worry as what he should be focusing on is the main event as he has booked for Goldberg and Hulk Hogan to take on Jeff Jarrett and Scott Steiner! Ric tells Eric that Steiner and Jarrett will make sure both Hogan and Goldberg spend the night in hospital beds side by side! Commercial Break[/i] Bam Bam Bigelow defeats Vampiro[/color] Having interfered in the on-going Bam Bam Bigelow and U.S Champion, Shane Douglas' feud, Vampiro took to the ring here on Thunder to face Bigelow following a loss to Douglas this past Wednesday night on Thunder. With Shane Douglas on commentary to give his thoughts on his upcoming title defense against Bigelow at Fall Brawl, it was clear that Bigelow wanted to send a message to Douglas about what he is capable of and hopes to do at Fall Brawl. Vampiro worked over the legs and right arm of Bigelow, however, in the end it didn't matter as Bigelow fought back in a big way and ended up flooring Vampiro with a wicked headbutt and then following it up with the Greeting From Asbury Park! As Bigelow celebrates in the ring, Douglas begins to mock him from outside the ring. Bigelow snaps and leaves the ring in pursuit of Douglas who scatters up the ramp! Backstage we see a locker room door ajar with Team Canada inside talking to a figure that we can't make out. The unidentified man shakes hands with both Lance Storm and Mike Awesome before he exits the room just as the cameraman panics and turns the camera to face down an empty hallway. The man spins the cameraman around to reveal Ric Flair, who asks the cameraman what the hell he is doing and shoves the camera out of his face! What was Ric Flair doing with Team Canada?! Commercial Break[/i] Bam Bam Bigelow is shown looking for Shane Douglas in the hallways backstage. Out of nowhere, Douglas cracks Bigelow over the back of his head with the U.S Championship! Douglas repeatedly clobbers Bigelow with the title belt as Torrie eggs him on to continue doing it. Just as Bigelow is getting back to his feet, Torrie punts him right in the balls before walking off with Douglas as Bigelow writhes in pain on the floor. Gene Okerlund is standing by at the interview area with Team Canada ahead of their tag title match against The Insiders in a rematch from last weeks Nitro broadcast. Storm tells Gene that Mike and himself were robbed of the championships as neither of them were even pinned last week. Lance claims that WCW management are treating them differently because they are Canadian and he can't wait for Team Flair to prevail at Fall Brawl as Ric Flair will bring more order to this company than Eric Bischoff could ever dream of. Team Canada (with Angel Williams and Melissa Coates) defeat World Tag Team Champions, The Insiders to capture[/color] The crowd were all over The Insiders here tonight, giving the current reigning champs a thunderous ovation at every single move they pulled off. Team Canada weren't happy at their welcome response from the crowd as they continued to wave their Canadian flag around, gaining them more and more heat. Before the bell signalled, the referee ejected both Angel Williams and Melissa Coates, much to the displeasure of Storm and Awesome! With their valets now gone, the match started and it saw Nash and Page have the early advantage as they took turns in chopping Storm in the corner. Eventually Lance was able to mount a comeback after Awesome distracted Page long enough for Storm to regain his composure and attack DDP from behind! Team Canada made frequent tags in order to stay on top of Page and keep control of the match, working over his right leg in anticipation of Storm locking in the Canadian Maple Leaf. Awesome looked to be setting Page up for the Awesome Bomb but DDP was able to slip out of Awesome's grip and dive to his corner, tagging in Kevin Nash who came in and knocked Awesome down with a Big Boot before bringing Storm into the ring the hard way! Nash went on to drop Lance with a big Sidewalk Slam before Awesome attempted a right hand shot but it was blocked and Nash hit Awesome with a series of his own right hands! Kevin and Page both Irish Whip Awesome off the ropes, allowing for Storm to tag himself in unbeknownst to The Insiders, who take Awesome down with a double clothesline. Nash tags in Page, who climbs to the top and flys off with an elbow drop before hooking the leg unbeknownst that Storm is the legal man. Ric Flair appears at the top of the rampway, prompting Nash to hop off the apron and go after Flair. The referee doesn't count DDP's pin, telling him that Lance is the legal man. DDP charges at Storm, but he is countered as Storm rolls through and locks in a Canadian Maple Leaf on the leg he has worked over leaving Dallas no choice but to tap out just as Nash returns back to the ring! The referee hands Storm and Awesome the tag team title belts as they are quick to escape, celebrating on the rampway instead by waving their Canadian flag! They embrace with Flair at the top of the ramp as Nash tends to Page, who is yelling out in pain while clutching his right leg. Commercial Break[/i] Paisley and Lenny Lane are backstage where Paisley is telling Lenny about how Kwee-Wee has completely changed since winning the Queen of WCW crown from Major Gunns. Lane agrees, telling Paisley that Kwee-Wee isn't safe to be around. Lenny suddenly leans in for a kiss before scooping her up and leading her away into a room while they are all over each other! As the door closes, Kwee-Wee appears looking for both Paisley and Lane, totally unaware as to where they are and what is going on between the pair! Buff Bagwell (with Dawn Marie) defeats Scott Norton (with Chavo Guerrero, Jr.)[/color] Scott Norton's second time out here on the broadcast and there was some tension between Norton and Chavo, Jr. In a surprise, Dawn Marie accompanied Buff to the ring which will surely infuriate Lex Luger. Bagwell and Norton had a superb match that had a lot of history here due to their past as Vicious and Delicious and Hudson and Schiavone actually made note of that here. Norton got a good amount of offense in here, almost getting the win with a wicked Shoulder Breaker but it was only enough for a 2 count. Buff battled back, winning the match with the Buff Blockbuster. Dawn Marie hugs Buff in the ring as Lex Luger comes storming down the ramp. Lex grabs Dawn by the hand and yells at her to go to the back before getting in the face of Buff. Dawn tries to get between the pair to stop the fighting but Lex shoves her to the mat before Buff defends her headbutting Lex and tackling him to the mat. The pair roll around the ring brawling until security spill to the ring and split the pair up! The pair break away from security and go at it again before they are seperated once again. Commercial Break[/i] When we return, Kwee-Wee is in the ring with his crown and sash and he has a microphone. He brings up how he cannot find Paisley nor Lenny Lane but that's not going to stop him being a fighting champion so his series of title defenses continue tonight. Before Kwee-Wee can go on any further, the same hype video that has played for the past few weeks hyping a female wrestler plays before it fades to black and we cut back to the live arena where Kwee-Wee is clearly baffled. Unbeknownst to him, Gail Kim is perched on the top rope and she flies off and nails a Diving Hurricanrana on Kwee-Wee! The bell rings and it appears we have a match on our hands here. Gail Kim defeats Queen of WCW, Kwee-Wee to capture[/color] Without his best friend Paisley by his side, Kwee-Wee was definitely thrown off his game here tonight. However, Kwee-Wee didn't let that stop him continuing to defend his crown against the debuting Gail Kim, who seemed keen to take Kwee-Wee on despite the obvious advantage that Kwee-Wee holds over her. As Kwee-Wee set Gail up for a Powerbomb, footage of Paisley and Lenny Lane making out is shown on the TurnerTron. A stunned Kwee-Wee shoves Gail aside as he watches the footage, giving Kim time to roll him up from behind and win the crown in her World Championship Wrestling debut! Gail Kim can't believe it as the referee gives her the crown and sash as Kwee-Wee lies on the mat in complete shock! Gail leaves the ring as Kwee-Wee twitches, showing signs to his Angry Allan gimmick. Jeff Jarrett and Scott Steiner are shown walking down the hallway with Midajah behind them as we cut to the last commercial before our huge blockbuster main event! Commercial Break[/i] World Heavyweight Champion, Goldberg and Hulk Hogan defeat Scott Steiner and Jeff Jarrett (with Midajah)[/color] Main event time as arguably 4 of the biggest names in WCW today collide in what could be called a mini-Fall Brawl preview. It was clear from when this match was announced that Goldberg and Hulk would be leaving victorious here ahead of the War Games match with Team Bischoff vs. Team Flair, so it didn't come as no surprise to the Boston, MA. crowd when Goldberg and Hogan got the victory, although they still erupted. Jarrett and Steiner still put up one hell of a fight here, even coming close to getting the 1-2-3 when Steiner almost knocked Goldberg out with a running forearm before Jarrett connected with the Stroke but Hogan was there to save the World Champ. After some highly entertaining tag team action, Jarrett fell victim to a Legdrop from Hogan which almost lifted the roof of the FleetCenter as the crowd absolutely exploded! As Goldberg and Hulk have their hands raised by the referee, Midajah slides a steel chair to Steiner who blasts Hulk across the back with it! Jarrett attacks Goldberg with a steel chain he had in his shorts as Ric Flair comes down the ramp, taking his suit jacket off in the process and throwing to the floor. Flair slides into the ring and orders Steiner and Jarrett to hold Hulk up as Ric yells at him and spits in his face! Ric sizes Hulk up until a very familiar theme hits... The returning Booker T comes charging down the rampway to a thunderous reception from Boston as Steiner and Jarrett throw Hulk to the side and turn their attention to Booker, who just clears house! Booker knocks Jarrett out of the ring with a wicked heel kick before setting Steiner up for the Ghetto Blaster but as he bounced off the ropes, Flair yanked Steiner out of the ring and out of harms way! Jarrett attempted to attack Booker from behind but Booker scouted it and hit the man who sidelined him many months ago with the Book End! Hulk, Booker and the World Champion, Goldberg stand tall in the ring as Booker takes a microphone confirming that he is the final member of Team Bischoff at Fall Brawl! © 2001 Fusient Media Ventures/World Championship Wrestling, Inc.

WorldWide Taping Results: 1. Rey Misterio, Jr. with Tygress defeats Alex Wright with a Springboard Hurricanrana 2. Mark Jindrak and Shawn Stasiak defeat Ikuto Hidaka and Crowbar when Stasiak hit Crowbar with a Death Valley Driver
Thunder — Sep. 5, 2001 @ Boston, MA.
After the Thunder intro has finished, we cut to a shot of the arena as Mark Madden and Mike Tenay welcome us to Thunder hot off the heels of an explosive edition of Monday Nitro! The pair talk about Booker T's shock return and revelation of him being the final member of Bischoff's Army after Sting's deflection and Team Canada reclaiming the World Tag Team Championships from The Insiders. Tenay brings up DDP's right leg being injured by Team Canada and how they will be speaking to Page via satellite from his home in The Jersey Shore later tonight.
Lex Luger comes to the ring in ring gear with his Total Package vest on to which Mark Madden tells us we can get the exact same vest on WCWShop.com! Dawn Marie is being dragged down the rampway by Lex and she couldn't look more unhappy at being there alongside The Total Package if she tried. Luger orders Dawn to hold down the rope for him as he enters the ring before being handed a microphone by Tony Schiavone. Lex thanks the crowd for coming out to see him which garners a negative reaction from the Boston crowd. Dawn, as usual, doesn't look too happy to be out there with Luger. As Lex begins to make fun of Buff Bagwell, claiming that he carried their tag team and Buff is a nobody around here Dawn intervenes, apparently having heard enough telling Lex that she loves Buff! Luger tries to laugh it off and tells Dawn that he knows she's confused and that he wants to hear her say she loves him. Dawn doesn't seem to agree and instead tries to get a "Buff! Buff! Buff!" chant going and as it seems to be picking up, Luger snaps and grabs ahold of Dawn by the hair. The music of Bagwell hits and Luger tosses Dawn aside as Buff sprints down the rampway like a bolt of lightning and slides into the ring, immediately flying at Luger with a series of punches! Lex is scunnered but he is able to escape under the bottom rope, yelling at Buff that he's waiting until Fall Brawl before putting him on the shelf. With Buff in the ring and Luger on the ramp, Dawn is standing in the ring as she looks at Buff, seemingly hinting towards staying with him. However, Luger has other ideas as he yells down the microphone that Dawn ought to remember it's in both her contract and his that she is his manager and if she even thinks about staying in that ring with Buff then she can kiss her job goodbye! Reluctantly, Dawn leaves the ring and heads off with a laughing Luger while an enraged Buff is left in the ring to seeth.
Air Raid are shown in the back talking to each other before they are approached by 3 Count. Evan tells Styles and Paris that him and Shannon watched them beat Elix Skipper and Kid Romeo last week and they were impressed but if they really want to be at the top of the cruiserweight tag division then they have to take 3 Count out. Paris laughs which leads to Karagias slapping him before Moore throws Styles into a nearby equipment box! 3 Count then head off down the hall ahead of Shannon Moore being in singles action right after this...
Commercial Break Billy Kidman with Rey Misterio, Jr. and Tygress defeats Shannon Moore with Evan Karagias Hot opening cruiserweight action here as 1/2 of the Cruiserweight Tag Team Champions in Billy Kidman went up against 3 Count's Shannon Moore in an electric bout. Moore seemed intent on showcasing his moves at first but after almost quickly losing the match when Kidman rolled him up, he finally focused and took the fight to Billy. As both men exchanged control, Kidman appeared to be sizing Shannon up for the finish as he attempted a springboard attack but he slipped off the rope and fell face first into the ring. Moore stormed over to Kidman and grabbed him before attempting a scoop slam of sorts but Billy slips out and hits the Kid Krusher for 3!
Before Kidman can celebrate with Rey, Jr. and Tygress, 3 Count jump the champs from behind and begin to put the boots into them. Moore and Karagias pick up the tag titles and raise them high until Air Raid come sprinting down the ramp and fly after 3 Count, flooring them with running forearms before Air Paris hits Karagias with the Sliced Bread! Still bitter from their loss to Air Raid last week, the former Cruiserweight Tag Champs Elix Skipper and Kid Romeo join in on the tag battle by throwing Paris to the floor and hitting Styles with a Backbreaker/Legdrop combo. Romeo and Elix don't get a minute to celebrate as Jamie Knoble and Cash throw themselves into the mix as Cash drills Skipper with a sick Brainbuster as The Jung Dragons sneak up onto opposing turnbuckles, flying off and taking out Knoble and Cash with simultaneous Diving Hurricanrana's! Following all of this, the Cruiserweight Tag Champs have regained their composure and they send Hayashi to the floor with a double dropkick before sending a message to every other team by laying Yang out with a Wheelbarrow Bulldog from Rey and a Shooting Star Press from Kidman! Mike Tenay shouts that he has just received word from WCW President, Eric Bischoff and that a cruiserweight tag turmoil for the straps has just been added to the Fall Brawl card!
Commercial Break
Gene Okerlund is at the interview area with Bam Bam Bigelow, who tonight gets another shot at Shane Douglas' U.S Championship. Bigelow is sick and tired of chasing after Shane Douglas and tonight is going to be the night that Bam Bam takes the title back to New Jersey!
The Rhodes Family defeat The Harris Brotherrs The Harris Brothers may look intimidating and have actually had some sort of impact on the tag division a year or so ago, however, these days they are infrequently seen and when they are featured on TV it's usually to put over another team. Tonight was no exception for the twins as in a battle of the families, the Rhodes' challenged the Harris'. Ron and Don done a good job at isolating Dusty, working him over and making frequent tags in a bid to keep them both fresh while wearing Dusty down at the same time. Don floored Dusty with a big boot before he climbed to the second rope and began gloating to the crowd before he dived off in what looked like an attempt at a splash, however, Dusty stuck his foot up and instead Don ate Dusty's cowboy boots! With both Dusty and Don down, Dusty was able to crawl to his corner and make the tag to his fresh son Dustin who came in and began clearing house before putting the match to end with the Lone Star State of Mind on Don!
Commercial Break
An ad is aired hyping up Fall Brawl, live on pay-per-view September 23 in Louisville! The ad has heavy emphasis on the recent returns to WCW programming of Hulk Hogan, The InSiders and Booker T aswell as Sting's heel turn.
Shane Douglas with Torrie Wilson defeats Vampiro and Bam Bam Bigelow to retain the U.S Championship The U.S Champ Shane Douglas has had his work cut out the past few weeks with Bam Bam Bigelow hot on his tail and now tonight Vampiro has been thrown into the mix and he is looking to win his first singles championship in WCW having only won the World Tag belts alongside The Great Muta when he was a member of the Dark Carnival last year. When the bell first rung, Douglas attempted a quick roll-up on Vampiro but he kicked out at 1 before both Bigelow and Vampiro worked as a unit and took turns at laying into Douglas who soon bailed from the ring for some TLC from Torrie, leaving Vampiro and Bam Bam to duke it out with each other. Vampiro and Bigelow really worked well together, which is surprising given their different in-ring styles. Anytime Douglas got back into the ring it wasn't long before he either left to back besides Torrie or else he was laid out! With Vampiro and Bigelow doing most the wrestling, Bigelow looked to have the championship won with the Wham, Bam, Thank You Ma'am although ever the opportunist, Shane Douglas sneaked back into the ring and tossed Bam Bam out to the floor before covering Vampiro to get the win and retain his gold for another night!
Douglas doesn't hang around after getting the 3 count as Torrie grabs his U.S title belt and the pair quickly scurry off, leaving Bigelow enraged on the floor outside at what just went down.
Lenny Lane is in the back talking to The Cat about how he hasn't heard from Kwee-Wee since he lost the Queen of WCW crown to Gail Kim on Monday Nitro. Suddenly, right on cue, Kwee-Wee comes storming up with Paisley and he begins to pin the blame of his loss on Lenny Lane, telling him that he is weighing Kwee-Wee down and holding him back from greatness. Before Lane even has the chance to respond, Kwee-Wee tackles him into the wall and begins to lay into him! Lane tries to crawl off but Kwee-Wee keeps laying into him until The Cat tries to intervene but Kwee-Wee floors him and it appears Kwee-Wee's alter-ego Angry Allan has returned!
Commercial Break
Once we are back from the break, Mike Tenay and Mark Madden are talking about our main event between Scott Steiner and Buff Bagwell when suddenly Lenny Lane stumbles through the entrance curtain out onto the TurnerTron and right behind him is Kwee-Wee and it appears that Kwee-Wee has beat him up all the way through the halls of the back and out here! Kwee-Wee continues his assault on Lane down the ramp as Paisley scurries behind trying to calm him down. Kwee-Wee tosses Lane into the ring when the referee who was supposed to official our main event between Steiner and Bagwell takes matters into his own hands and orders for the bell to be rung!
Kwee-Wee with Paisley vs. Lenny Lane ends in a No Contest It looks like we have an impromptu match on our hands here as Kwee-Wee just continues to lay waste to Lenny Lane, who appears to be out of it. The crowd begin to mildly get behind Lane, who attempts a comeback but it gets nowhere as he doesn't even have the stamina to run the ropes and instead he just collapses. Kwee-Wee then grabs ahold of Lane and seemingly is about to set him up for the Piledriver when the music of The Cat hits and he comes sprinting down the rampway as Kwee-Wee tosses Lane aside ready for The Cat, however, Kwee-Wee misses with a clothesline and instead is laid out with the Feliner!
A dazed Kwee-Wee is helped out of the ring and quickly to the back by Paisley as The Cat checks on Lenny Lane before we cut to the back where Gene Okerlund is standing by with "Big Poppa Pump" Scott Steiner along with his "#1 Freak", Midajah. Steiner doesn't look in a good mood tonight and he snaps when Okerlund brings up Booker T's return to WCW programming this past Monday night on Nitro as he threatens Gene! Steiner promises victory tonight and that he will leave Buff Bagwell squirming about his decision to turn his back on the Magnificent Seven.. "HOLLA, if ya' hear me!!"
Commercial Break
Scott Steiner with Midajah defeats Buff Bagwell Buff Bagwell was seemingly trying to put his feud with Lex Luger over Dawn Marie at the back of his mind tonight as he would need to focus 110% on his match-up with the former WCW World Heavyweight Champion, Scott Steiner here tonight who was in an even more foul mood than he usually is. In the early going Buff played up to the crowd, teasing and taunting Steiner ontop of pulling off a series of quick roll-up attempts that done nothing but wind Steiner up and anger him even further! Eventually, Scott was able to take control after countering Bagwell's side headlock into a back bodydrop and then begin to work over his lower back for a good duration of the match. Offence was exchanged by both Bagwell and Steiner until Buff took Scott out with a Diving Clothesline and appeared to have things going his way which is when Midajah interjected herself by attempting to enter the ring but the referee attempted to stop her. With the referee distracted, Lex Luger enters the ring with a lead pipe but Buff knocks it out of his hand and sends Luger flying over the top rope! Bagwell then turns around but he walks right into a lead pipe shot from Steiner who then tosses the pipe to the floor and drags Bagwell into the centre of the ring where he syncs in the Steiner Recleiner on an already unconscious Buff Bagwell! Midajah hops off the apron and the referee turns around before calling this match over.
Midajah raises Steiner's hand before the pair head to the back along with Lex Luger as Bagwell begins to come around just as the show comes to a close.

WCW Monday Nitro: Monday 3rd September 2001...Good opening contest to kick things off with the cruiserweights, and I'm glad to see that you continue to give Chris Candido a good run; I'm hoping that Shane Helms gets his hands back on the WCW World Cruiserweight Championship very soon. A good win for Candido over Helms, Chavo Guerrero Jr and Rey Misterio Jr. Just a note, you may want to fix up the formatting for this show, as this was before the infamous ProBoards upgrade of April 2013. Good promo from the Magnificent Seven, very WCW-inspired booking with a promo following a hot opening contest. Good promo with the Seven talking about Fall Brawl and War Games; you've really bloomed the roster up from your previous starting point, I'm glad. Bam Bam Bigelow with a win against Vampiro is fine, never been a fan of Vampiro, but I can see why you're using him, having gotten so much momentum in that terrible rivalry with Sting last year. Shane Douglas and Bigelow feuding sounds intriguing. Hmm, Ric Flair with Team Canada? That's a bit strange. Ah, Douglas and Bigelow are feuding over the WCW US Heavyweight Championship, that makes sense. Up next, I'm surprised to see Team Canada pick up a big victory and reclaim the WCW World Tag Team Championships on Kevin Nash and Diamond Dallas Page's first defense. Ha, I figured Kevin Nash wouldn't do the job to the Canadians. Flair's involvement has me interested, what is his goal in all of this? Hahaha, Kwee-Wee won the Queen of WCW crown? Bloody hell. Very saucy angle here, with Paisley and Lenny Lane, I wonder where this is going. Bad night for Scott Norton and Guerrero Jr, both suffering defeats tonight. I like Buff Bagwell getting the win - he's a future WCW World Heavyweight Champion, in my eyes. Interested by Bagwell's feud with Lex Luger, but Luger is pretty much past it at this point. Nothing new, really. Hah, crazy Kwee-Wee. A good win for Gail Kim, and hopefully this is the end of Kwee Wee's efforts to claim the Queen of WCW crown. A good night for the Canadians. And finally, Goldberg and Hulk Hogan with a win against Scott Steiner and Jeff Jarrett was expected, followed by a big brawl between Team Bischoff and the Magnificent Seven as we approach Fall Brawl, a decent edition of Nitro!
WCW Wednesday Thunder: Wednesday 5th September 2001...Good win for Rey Misterio Jr on WorldWide, with a win against Alex Wright - who once again, could do big things for World Championship Wrestling in the future. Ah, Mark Jindrak and Shawn Stasiak are still hanging around, good to see. A fine win against Ikuto Hidaka and Crowbar. I don't think that the .GIF logo works too well honestly, I prefer the old headers that Kemp provided you with personally. Fiar opening promo with Lex Luger in the ring, calling out Buff Bagwell. I'm just not really that interested in this feud per se, but it did it's job and promoted Fall Brawl some more. Up next, a good opening contest with Billy Kidman picking up the win against Three Count's Shannon Moore, this could be a fun WCW Cruiserweight Tag Team Championship match down the line. I really like the cruiserweight tag team division, honestly. It's nice to see Elix Skipper and Kid Romeo after the titles, as well as Air Raid, the Jung Dragons, and Cash and Jamie Knoble. Now all we need is Chris Daniels and Low Ki, heheh. Up next, a fair win for the Rhodes Family against the Harris Brothers; doesn't sound like it'd be a good match to me. Shane Douglas picking up the win against Vampiro and Bam Bam Bigelow proved to be a decent first-hour main event, that could have been pay-per-view worthy, I think. A good defense of the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship nonetheless. Kwee Wee is crazy. Angry Allan? HAHAHA! My God. Fair win for Kwee Wee against Lenny Lane, I don't understand what Paisley's role is in all of this. And finally, a good main event with Scott Steiner managing to pick up the win against his former friend, Buff Bagwell. Overall, a fair but flat edition of Thunder - although that's probably because the big name talents probably didn't want to work Tuesdays. Nonetheless, good work, I'm looking forward to more, a lot more!

WCW diaries are always fun too do. The first in depth diary I did was a WCW diary. I actually started it from the April Nitro when Russo and Bischoff took over. My diary went on in dairy time for about 3-4 years.
In that time I pushed Booker T, Scott Steiner, Goldberg and Lance Storm as the top acts with the next tier including Jerry Lynn, Big Vito, Chuck Palumbo while also rebuilding the Cruiserweight and Tag Team Divisions to a point where if a they headlined a Nitro it wasn't in common.
Reason I am telling you this is because reading your shows while they are good to read you aren't doing to much different. WCW was a mess but got decent towards the end. While you are putting on better shows nothing new is happening and no new stars are being made.
New WCW should be a place where Storm, Kanyon, O'Haire, Awesome, Mysterio and Helms were pushed to the top and the likes of Booker, Steiner and Goldberg established as the top acts while the likes of Hogan, Luger, Bagwell, DDP, Flair were either removed and or moved down the card.
The guys a 15 year old me decided to push may not have been the right guys but least they were fresh faces. While your shows are good they would be so much more enjoyable if you pushed some fresh faces towards the top.
Quickly looking at your roster you have done a good job with Goldberg and Steiner but that could have easily been Starrcade Main Event. Booker T is less of a star from when you started but it wouldn't take much to change that. The 3 of them could easily be joined by Shane Douglas, Storm, Awesome, Jarrett, DDP, Kanyon and along with the freshly turned Sting you have a great top line of talent while underneath then u could build up the next lot. Helms, Mysterio, Harris, Storm, AJ etc
But ultimately it's your show and I will carry on reading because it is good I would just rather some fresh faces in the Main Event
