The opening Thunder video plays before Mike Tenay and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan welcome us to the broadcast.
Jason Jett defeated Yang. - EZ Money, err I mean Jason Jett came to the ring for his match tonight. - Both Yang and Jett put on a fantastic high flying contest that left the crowd in awe. - Yang looked to finish things off with the Yang Time, but Jett got out of the way and Yang landed on his feet before taking Jett's head off with a Spinning Heel Kick. - After some back and forth action, Jett locked Yang in an awesome submission move that was dubbed the Pendulum by Tenay.
KroniK were shown talking backstage when Chavo Guerrero, Jr. cockily swaggered up to them. Chavo told them that he needs someone to protect him when he takes back the Cruiserweight Title at The Big Bang. Chavo says that KroniK seem like a perfect fit to watch his back. The duo reject Chavo's offer and tell him that the only backs they'll be watching is themselves. Chavo begins shouting at the two, calling them has-beens. The duo advance forward when Scott Norton blindsides Clarke and Chavo attacks Adams. Chavo grabs a chair and begins to lay into Adams while Norton puts the boots to Clarke.
COMMERCIAL BREAK[/size] Chavo Guerrero, Jr. (w/ Scott Norton) defeated Low Key.- Low Key made his second appearance in WCW, but this time against the former WCW Cruiserweight Champion, Chavo Guerrero, Jr. - Guerrero had the intimidating Scott Norton by his side, which distracted Key numerous times. - Chavo hit Key with the Brainbuster for the pinfall. Chavo got a microphone afterwards and revealed that at The Big Bang it will be Chavo Guerrero, Jr. vs. Shane Helms for the WCW Cruiserweight Championship. Norton picked Key up and hit a devastating Powerbomb. Chavo slipped some money into the hand of Norton before Norton hit Key with a vicious Powerbomb. COMMERCIAL BREAK[/size] Gene Okerlund was backstage with the WCW commissioner, The Cat. Okerlund asked The Cat on Ms. Jones' condition. The Cat told him that she is recovering well. The Cat moved onto Chris Kanyon and said that Kanyon is obviously upset that his booty was kicked at Greed so he's booked Kanyon vs. MI Smooth for tonight and if Kanyon wins he can get another shot at The Cat at The Big Bang. Kanyon blindsided The Cat and began to stomp away at him. Kanyon picked The Cat up and hit the Kanyon Kuter. Lance Storm and Mike Awesome (w/ Major Gunns) defeated Johnny Stamboli and Big Vito.- Team Canada played the Canadian national anthem before Vito and Stamboli's music cut them off. - Vito and Stamboli put on a good showing with Team Canada out there. - Team Canada took the victory after Storm hit Vito with a Superkick. COMMERCIAL BREAK[/size] Chris Kanyon defeated MI Smooth.- Smooth threw everything at Kanyon, obviously wanting some revenge after what Kanyon done to Ms. Jones last week on Nitro. - Smooth hit some big moves onto Kanyon, and Kanyon tried to run off a few times but Smooth launched him back into the ring. - Smooth went for a Splash off the second rope but Kanyon moved out of the way and just dominated from there. - Smooh, like The Cat, fell victim to the Kanyon Kutter. COMMERCIAL BREAK[/size] Team Canada were backstage with Gene Okerlund. Lance Storm said that at The Big Bang, him and Mike Awesome would make Canada proud by claiming the WCW "Canadian" Tag Titles. Totally Buff, Lex Luger and Buff Bagwell come down the ramp to some jeers from the crowd. The duo say that this past Monday, Dusty Rhodes embarrassed Ric Flair and The Magnificent Seven when he rubbed his fat ass in the face of the WCW CEO, Ric Flair. Buff and Lex said that they are going to make both Dustin and Dusty pay for what they did. Dusty Rhodes and Dustin Rhodes defeated Lex Luger and Buff Bagwell.- Buff seemed more than confident as they just toyed around with Dusty, who started the match off. - Dusty stunned Buff when he smacked him down to the matt. - Whenever Dusty was in the ring he received a beating, but he hit back with a few shots of his own. - Lex Luger looked to put Dusty in the Torture Rack, but he struggled to lift Dusty up. - Dusty kicked Lex into the turnbuckle and went to give him a stink face but Bagwell chop blocked him. - In the end, Dustin pinned Luger after hitting the Lone Star State of Mind. Totally Buff freak out in the ring while Dusty Rhodes dances in the ring to close the show.[/font]

Meh match to open up Thunder here. Still really like the idea of spelling it Low Key. Like how Chavo has a bodyguard here doing his dirty work. Storm & Awesome winning is obvious, they're the better team. Surprised the Rhodes team won the main event there. Fine show, although I think a little star power is needed even though it's only Thunder.

I like this format a lot. I love that text on the Thursday Thunder graphic. That was a great opening contest. Liked that Jason Jet got the win. I loved the KroniK, Chavo & Norton segment. I like how you spelled Low Key. Sucks he lost. Chavo vs. Shane Helms at the Big Bang should be awesome. Great Tag Team match. Glad Mike Awesome and Lance Storm got the win. Nice with for Kanyon. Seemed realistic. You made a spelling mistake with Smooh. Not too sure with Dusty and Dustin Rhode beating Lex Luger and Buff Bagwell. The ending with Rhodes dancing with defiantly realistic. Awesome Thunder show. I can't wait for "The Big Bang." Once again, I love the format.

I loved the team of O'Haire and Palumbo but it would be really awesome to see Storm and Awesome as Champs, Either way I'll be keeping an eye on this. I shall read up on previous results and give you my thoughts.

The opening Nitro intro plays and then pyro erupts at the top of the ramp. Once again we're "live" (The next three weeks of WCW TV is taped) from Panama City and Nitro is being held outside. Scott Hudson and Tony Schiavone welcome us to WCW Monday Nitro! The two announce that tonight Booker T will defend his WCW United States Championship against Jeff Jarrett in tonights main event.
Rey Misterio, Jr. (w/ Billy Kidman and Tygress) defeated Kid Romeo (w/ Elix Skipper). - We kicked off things in typical WCW action and that is with the cruiserweights! - Rey, Jr. and Kid Romeo put on an intense, back and forth match. - Romeo connected with the Last Dance, but instead of making the cover she began to grind to the fans. - Rey, Jr. fired back at Romeo with some rights and lefts before connecting with a Springboard DDT.
Elix Skipper helped Romeo out of the ring as The Filthy Animals worked the crowd. Kidman and Rey, Jr. motioned that they are coming for Romeo and Skipper's WCW Cruiserweight Tag Team Titles.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
Ric Flair was shown in his office with the rest of The Magnificent Seven. Flair begins to talk about how he has never been as embarrassed as much as he was last week when Dusty Rhodes rubbed his ass all over him. Flair says that he has booked Road Warrior Animal vs. Dusty Rhodes for Thunder. The stable all grin as Animal nods his head. Flair then tells Jeff Jarrett that it's certain that Jarrett will be bringing the US Title to The Magnificent Seven.
Sean O'Haire and Chuck Palumbo defeated Yang and Kaz Hayashi. - The Japanese duo of Yang and Hayashi came down the ramp with The Great Muta-esque ring attire. They had an unknown valet following them down the ramp. - The tag champs entered the arena and the crowd popped big time. - This was the classic speed vs. strength match, with Yang and Hayashi hitting some wicked risky moves. - In the end, O'Haire put Yang and Hayashi on top of each other before hitting the Seanton Bomb.
O'Haire and Palumbo raised their WCW World Tag Team Titles up, showing them off to the cameras before Lance Storm and Major Gunns appeared at the top of the ramp. Storm began trash talking O'Haire and Palumbo. The Thrillers soon ran up the ramp before Storm shoved Major Gunns into them while him and Awesome got a head start. The Thrillers continued in hot pursuit as we go to a commercial.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
Shane Douglas was backstage with Torrie Wilson, walking down the hallway. Douglas storms into Ric Flair's office and Flair immediantly stands up. Douglas tells Flair that he wants Rick Steiner at The Big Bang. Ric Flair tells Shane Douglas that Douglas has made Rick Steiner an angry man since costing him and The Magnificent Seven the US Title. Flair tells Douglas that why wait until The Big Bang, when him and Steiner can face each other tonight? Flair books the match.
When we return, the music of 3 Count hits and Evan Karagias and Shannon Moore come down the ramp, with Mr. Christopher Harris closely behind. Paparazzi flee down the ramp soon and wait at the ring apron, rapidly snapping photos of Harris, Karagias and Moore. Harris got a microphone and revealed himself as 3 Count's producer. Harris reveals that 3 Count have been working on their new song all week and they'll be performing it tonight live on Nitro! The duo perform their new song asChristopher applauds them. In the song, the duo insult several members of the WCW locker room, including The Filthy Animals and The Natural Born Thrillers.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
Stasirak were backstage along with their valet Stacy Keibler and Gene Okerlund. Keibler told Gene that Stasirak are the future of tag team wrestling, and not their old Natural Born Thriller partners, Sean O'Haire and Chuck Palumbo. Keibler told Stasirak that after they beat KroniK they'll beat either Team Canada or Palumbo and O'Haire for the belts.
Bryan Clarke and Brian Adams defeated Shawn Stasiak and Mark Jindrak (w/ Stacy Keibler). - KroniK were not in a good mood after being attacked by Scott Norton and Chavo Guerrero, Jr. on Thunder. - It's revealed by Hudson that on Thunder it will be KroniK vs. Scott Norton and Chavo Guerrero, Jr. - Stasiak and Jindrak seemed to work well in the early going, but they soon began to argue with each other. - Stacy Keibler tried to distract KroniK by dancing on the announce table, but all she did was distract Stasirak. - KroniK took advantage of this and hit Stasiak with the High Times.
KroniK celebrate as Stasirak and Keibler look furious. Stasirak begin yelling at Keibler, who proceeds to slap both of them before storming up the ramp.
Lance Storm was shown sprinting down a hallway. He turns round a corner. A few seconds later, Sean O'Haire and Chuck Palumbo run by the camera and turn the same corner, but they suddenly drop down. Lance Storm emerges from behind the corner with a steel chair before Mike Awesome emerges. The two put the boots to the tag champs before picking up O'Haire and Palumbo's title belts and then dropping them over the champions bodies. The champs yell out in pain.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
Rick Steiner comes down the ramp and paces the ring, awaiting the arrival of Shane Douglas. After around a minute of waiting, Douglas still hasn't appeared. The TurnerTron has a static picture before we see Shane Douglas lying in a pool of blood with Torrie Wilson crouched beside him. Torrie is yelling out for help. The camera cuts back to ringside were Rick Steiner is smirking. Steiner demands that the referee declare him as the winner. The referee does so.
Rick Steiner defeated. Shane Douglas (w/ Torrie Wilson). (Forfeit)
COMMERCIAL BREAK
Booker T defeated Jeff Jarrett (w/ Ric Flair) to retain the WCW United States Title. - We ended the show with an outstanding main event match between Booker T and Double J. - Jeff Jarrett had a pissed off Ric Flair in his corner, and the CEO interfered numerous times, getting a few cheap shots into the US Champion. - Jarrett looked to make Booker tap out with the Figure Four Leglock, but Booker was able to turn Jarrett over and inflict pain on Jarrett. - Scott Steiner looked to interfere when Flair distracted the referee, but Booker sent Steiner packing over the top rope. - Jarrett was looking to hit Booker with the guitar, but Dustin Rhodes made an appearance and took the guitar before breaking it over Jarrett's skull. - Booker proceeded to hit Jarrett with the Book End. - Dusty Rhodes came down the ramp and yanked Flair off the apron while Booker made the cover.

Ric Flair facing Dusty Rhodes in 2001 is a bit meh, but it seems likely seeing that it's taking place in WCW. Hoping Flair gets the win, unless Dusty gives him a Bionic Elbow after going in to the future and taking one of Chris Hero's Loaded Elbowpads. That'd be fanntastic. Nitro was a solid show, can't complain about anything. Hope Sean O'Haire gets a singles push eventually. Would love to see Awesome and Storm win the tag titles at Big Bang.

-Nitro graphic is pure awesomeness -While Kidman & Rey are great, I'd love to see Skipper & Romeo keep the straps -Would also be in favor of Storm & Awesome winning the belts, although The Natural Born Thrillers have such a cool name -Glad Rick & Douglas was put on Nitro instead of the PPV -3 Count push? Chris Harris in WCW? I like -Glad Kronik won and hope to see Stacy leave Jindrak & Stasiak -Liked Steiner being declared winner by forefeit -Surprised to see Booker retain. Liked everything that went down and Jarrett/Dustin should be good. Not sure about Flair/Dusty though
Overall, a very good show. Reminds me of your TNA 2002, in a good way

Nitro always seems to start off with cruiserweight action. I hope Douglas gets a big push, him and Torrie was a great combo. Surprised Kronik beat the young team there. Wonder what's up there with the pool of blood. Damn you for not having JJ win the belt. Flair vs. Dusty is interesting as it has a nostaligic feeling to it.

Thursday Thunder...March 29th 2001...Good opening contest to kick off the show, Jason Jett over Yang is fine, hopefully Yang and Kaz Hayashi of the Jung Dragons get a push in time. Wow, Scott Norton and Chavo Guerrero is a fine alliance, but can't see Chavo being big enough to take down any of the KroniK members. Decent cruiserweight match to follow up with, Chavo Guerrero Jr beating Low Key. That spelling is fitting for WCW; They loved mispelling things. Lance Storm and Mike Awesome beating Johnny The Bull and Big Vito is fine, didn't expect anything special of it. Chris Kanyon beating MI Smooth is good, I hate Smooth. Decent booking for a main event tag team match, but it wouldn't be too grand.
Monday Nitro...April 2nd 2001...Decent opening contest to kick off the show, Rey Misterio Jr beating Kid Romeo is fine, Romeo was never too over, so good Misterio got the win here. Decent tag team match with Chuck Palumbo and Sean O'Haire beating the Jung Dragons. Like I siad before, hope we see a push for Yang and Kaz Hayashi in the future. Interesting way to debut Chris Harris as the producer of Three Count. KroniK beating Shawn Stasiak and Mark Jindrak is fine, nothing too special. Hehe, I liked Rick Steiner and Shane Douglas' 'match'. Decent main event, Booker T retaining the WCW US Heavyweight Championship is fine.

Billy Kidman (w/ Rey Misterio, Jr. and Tygress) defeated Elix Skipper (w/ Kid Romeo). - After Rey, Jr. beat Romeo on Nitro, this match came about with the stipulation that if Kidman could beat Skipper him and Rey, Jr. would get a Cruiserweight Tag Title Shot against Skipper and Romeo at The Big Bang. - Skipper and Kidman put on a tremendous cruiserweight match, with alot of near falls. - Kidman was able to take the victory after hitting the Kid Krusher.
COMMERCIAL BREAK[/size] The current reigning WCW Cruiserweight Champion, Shane Helms comes to the ring and joins Heenan and Tenay at the commentators table. Scott Norton and Chavo Guerrero, Jr. defeated Air Paris and AJ Styles.- Surprisingly, this was a solid tag team contest. - Chavo, Jr. would let Norton do all the work before slapping Air Raid and making cocky taunts, etc. - Air Paris and AJ worked together to take Norton down. They worked Norton's legs, but out of nowhere Norton caught Air Paris' crossbody from the top and turned it into a powerslam. - Norton hit Styles with a sick Powerbomb before tagging in Chavo who swaggered over to AJ and pinned him with his foot. Chavo walked over to the ropes and begin to shout at Shane Helms. Helms stood up from the announce table and tossed the headset down. Helms slid into the ring, but Chavo stomped away at Helms. Shane began to put up a fight, but Chavo began clocking him repeatedly with the Cruiserweight Title. Chavo then ordered Norton to hit Helms with a Release Powerbomb. Norton done so before Chavo kneeled down and began shouting in the face of Helms. COMMERCIAL BREAK[/size] Scott Steiner was backstage with Midajah and Gene Okerlund. Steiner told Okerlund that tonight he faces some punk who isn't even the size of one of his arms. Scott Steiner (w/ Midajah) defeated Chris Daniels.- Scott Steiner made quick work of the much smaller Chris Daniels. - Daniels got little to no offence in on the World Champion. - Steiner applied the Steiner Recleiner around two minutes into the match and Daniels immediantly tapped out. Gene Okerlund was backstage with Ric Flair and Road Warrior Animal. Ric Flair told Okerlund that Road Warrior Animal is going to beat Dusty Rhodes so bad that he won't be in any fit state to make it to The Big Bang. COMMERCIAL BREAK[/size] Dusty Rhodes defeated Road Warrior Animal.[/color] - This was pretty horrid to watch, although it was kept pretty short. - Animal pretty much dominated Rhodes, but the crowd got behind Rhodes which gave Rhodes a sudden burst of energy. - Ric Flair got on the apron but Rhodes knocked him off. - Rhodes got the three following the Bionic Elbow. The camera focused on Ric Flair, who was lying on the outside, in complete shock. Road Warrior Animal is arguing with the referee as Dusty Rhodes dances up the ramp.

The opening Nitro intro plays and then pyro erupts at the top of the ramp. Tony Schiavone and Scott Hudson welcome us to the show, "live" from Panama City.
The Magnificent Seven come to the ring, all of them in their suits and none of them looking pleased. Ric Flair gets a microphone and begins to talk about how lately The Magnificent Seven have been slacking. Ric Flair says that at The Big Bang he's going to do to Dusty Rhodes what his bodyguard, Road Warrior Animal couldn't. Flair tells Animal that he embarrassed The Magnificent Seven and he's going to suffer. Scott Steiner attacks Animal before Flair, Bagwell, Jarrett, Luger, Rick Steiner and Scott Steiner all stomp away at Animal. Midajah gets a few cheap shots into Animal. Steiner locks the Steiner Recleiner in as Ric Flair slaps Animal. Ric Flair tells Animal that he is a failure and is no longer apart of The Magnificent Seven.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
When we return from the commercial, Tony and Scott recap what just went down with Road Warrior Animal and The Magnificent Seven.
Stacy Keibler was backstage with Mark Jindrak and Shawn Stasiak. Stacy told the two of them that she had high hopes for them as a team but they were disgraceful last week on Nitro. Jindrak told them that she tried to help them win, but instead cost them the match. He then told her to just stick to looking good out there. Stacy looked shocked at Jindrak's words as Stasiak and Jindrak walk off.
Chuck Palumbo and Sean O'Haire defeated Shawn Stasiak and Mark Jindrak (w/ Stacy Keibler). - These four used to be a unit, but Stasiak and Jindrak got jealous of Palumbo and O'Haire winning the WCW World Tag Team Titles. - Stacy Keibler stayed quiet at ringside in the early going, but it was clear she couldn't contain herself and she soon began to interfere. - When O'Haire went for the Seanton Bomb, Keibler ripped her dress off and began to dance on the announce table, much like last week. - Palumbo and O'Haire were distracted whereas Stasiak and Jindrak were shouting at her0. Palumbo quickly snapped out of it and sent Jindrak to the outside before hitting Stasiak with a Superkick.
Stacy Keibler looked upset afterwards. Mark Jindrak grabbed Stacy's dress and wrapped it around her. He began to shout at her while Stasiak rolled out of the ring. Stasiak and Jiindrak both yelled at Stacy. Stacy told Stasiak and Jindrak that she's no longer their manager. Stacy stormed up the ramp, as Stasirak discuss their loss at ringside.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
Ric Flair was shown in his office with Totally Buff, Rick Steiner, Jeff Jarrett, Scott Steiner and Midajah. Ric Flair booked Totally Buff and Jeff Jarrett against Dusty Rhodes for tonight. Flair said that nobody messes with The Nature Boy and gets away with it. Flair then books Rick Steiner vs. Shane Douglas for The Big Bang, and says that since Douglas is hurt it'll be an easy victory for The Magnificent Seven.
Gene Okerlund was backstage with Chavo Guerrero, Jr. and Chavo's bodyguard, Scott Norton. Chavo told Gene that he doesn't care if he's facing Shane Helms or Jason Jett at The Big Bang for the WCW Cruiserweight Title, because he knows that if he faces Helms he's leaving with the title and if he faces Jett he's leaving with the gold. Chavo told Gene it's a win-win situation before we cut to ringside.
Shane Helms defeated Jason Jett to retain the WCW Cruiserweight Title. - Jason Jett and Shane Helms put on a decent cruiserweight match. - Jett has been impressive since his debut in WCW as he is yet to lose a match. - Helms looked to finish Jett off with the Vertebreaker, but Jett escaped Helms' hold and quickly hit a beautiful German Suplex with a bridge. - Helms got out at two and fired back at Jett with some lefts and rights. Helms dropkicked Jett's knee before bouncing off the ropes and hitting a Shining Wizard for the three.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
Dusty Rhodes defeated Lex Luger, Buff Bagwell and Jeff Jarrett. (Disqualification) - This was pretty slow, but it was interesting to watch. - Jarrett, Bagwell and Luger just toyed around with Rhodes. - But when Bagwell taunted the crowd he allowed Dusty to get to his feet and deliver some shots to Bagwell. - Jarrett tried to bring the guitar into the mix, but the referee didn't allow him. Jarrett shoved the referee to the ground and the referee called for the bell.
Jarrett proceeded to break the guitar over Dusty's head. The trio continued to beat Dusty down until Dustin Rhodes came running down the ramp. Dustin slid into the ring, and Jarrett, Bagwell and Luger slid out and cockily headed up the ramp. The trio taunted Dustin as he attended to Dusty.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
3 Count, Evan Karagias and Shannon Moore, made their way to the ring with their producer, Christopher Harris. Harris got a microphone and said that last week the WCW fans got the first listen to 3 Count's new single and now they're going to be the first to see their new music video! The crowd boo. A poorly edited music video plays, with disgusting effects. In the video, once again Karagias and Moore insulted The Filthy Animals and The Natural Born Thrillers. During the video a fat model came on, impersonating Tygress. The model would rub her stomach and claw at her head.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
Kid Romeo and Elix Skipper defeated AJ Styles and Air Paris. - Now this was an outstanding tag team match, filled with high spots and fast paced action. - The young duo of AJ Styles and Air Paris are definitely a team to keep a close eye on. - Styles hit Skipper with a move that Schiavone dubbed the Styles Clash, but Romeo broke the count. - Romeo got the win for his team when he hit Paris with the Last Kiss.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
Shane Douglas comes down to the ring with Torrie Wilson. Torrie seems to be pleading with Douglas at something. Douglas gets into the ring and says that he's cutting straight to the point, and that is that he wanted Steiner last week, but he was attacked by a coward who attacked him from behind so he couldn't beat his ass. Douglas demands that Steiner get out to the ring right now. Sirens begin to go off and the WCW World Heavyweight Champion, Scott Steiner comes out from the back with Midajah. Steiner says that Douglas didn't say what Steiner, and he wants to kick sombodies ass so Douglas has got him tonight! Douglas doesn't seem pleased but he tells Steiner that it's time to get franchised.
Scott Steiner (w/ Midajah) defeated Shane Douglas (w/ Torrie Wilson). - Steiner and Douglas put on a damn good main event. - Douglas was selling injuries after he was attacked last week on Nitro. - Douglas went for the Franchsier, but Steiner hit a T-Bone Suplex. - Steiner then synched in the Steiner Recleiner and Douglas passed out.

Thursday Thunder...April 5th 2001...Good opening singles action to open up the show, Billy Kidman beating Elix Skipper is fine, really haven't seen any offense by Kid Romeo and Elix Skipper in this feud, so far. Seems like it'll be the Filthy Animals winning the WCW Cruiserweight Tag Team Championship at Big Bang. Scott Norton and Chavo Guerrero beating Air Raid is fine, seemed like a decent match up. Scott Steiner beating Chris Daniels is fine, nothing too good. Dusty Rhodes beating Road Warrior Animal is atrocious. It was a bad match, and the wrong man won in my eyes. Solid tag team main event, suprised that closed down the show, to be honest.
Monday Nitro...April 9th 2001...Good opening promo to kick off this edition of Nitro at Panama City Beach. Road Warrior Animal getting the boot is suprising, but it's fine, to be honest. Magnificent Six now? Good opening tag team match with Chuck Palumbo and Sean O'Haire beating their former comrades, Shawn Stasiak and Mark Jindrak. Shane Helms beating Jason Jett is fine, good defense of the WCW World Cruiserweight Championship. Bad four-way match. Dusty Rhodes should be kept out of the ring as a whole. Wish Three Count would do more than brag about getting involved with the Cruiserweight Tag Team division. Kid Romeo and Elix Skipper beating Air Raid is fine, finally they do something other than job to the Filthy Animals. Decent main event, Scott Steiner beating Shane Douglas is fine.

- April 12 2001
The opening Thunder intro plays and then Mike Tenay and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan welcome us to the broadcast. They hype appearances from The Filthy Animals, Scott Steiner, Kid Romeo and Elix Skipper and many more!
Kid Romeo, Elix Skipper and Chavo Guerrero, Jr/ (w/ Scott Norton) defeated Billy Kidman, Shane Helms and Rey Misterio, Jr. (w/ Tygress). - These six put on one of the best tag team matches in recent history. - They were given around 15 minutes out there, and they certainly delivered with an outstanding contest. - 3 Count, Evan Karagias and Shannon Moore made their way onto the ramp and once again sung their latest single that insults The Filthy Animals. - This pretty much stopped the match, but Kid Romeo quickly grabbed Rey Misterio, Jr. and hit the Last Kiss for the three.
COMMERCIAL BREAK[/size] When we return from the break, the cameraman is out in the parking lot. A car pulls up and Booker T gets out. Booker gets his suitcase from the boot of the car. Security appear and tell Booker that he isn't permitted inside the arena tonight. Booker looks at them with a confused face. Ric Flair walks up and demands Booker leave his arena right now. Booker reluctantly gets into the car as Ric Flair waves him off. 3 Count were backstage with Christopher Harris, their producer. Out of nowhere, Rey Misterio, Jr. and Billy Kidman attacked them and they brawled around the corridor. Chris Kanyon defeated Hugh Morrus.- Surprisingly, this was an extremely good contest. - Morrus had control in the early going, but Kanyon took control after raking Morrus' eyes. - Kanyon hit the Flatliner for the three. Stevie Ray was backstage talking with a backstage worker. Out of nowhere, Scott Steiner blindsided Stevie Ray. The champ put the boots to Stevie Ray before he locked in the Steiner Recleiner. The champ yelled into the camera "Booker T, your brothers fate is the same as yours!". Security struggle to pull Steiner off of Stevie COMMERCIAL BREAK[/size] Mark Jindrak and Shawn Stasiak where backstage talking. Stacy Keibler approached the duo and said that she reliases that she made a mistake on Nitro by not wanting to manage them, so she's back to manage them. Before they can say anything, Stacy puts her finger on each of their lips. Stacy tells them that she's away to speak to Ric Flair. She heads off before a familiar voice shouts "Stasiak! Jindrak!". The duo turn around before we to ringside. Mike Awesome (w/ Major Gunns) defeated Chuck Palumbo (w/ Sean O'Haire). (Disqualification)- This was a pretty good back and forth match. - Chuck Palumbo seemed to be having things going his way as he was looking to hit a Superkick on Awesome. - Major Gunns got onto the apron and distracted the referee while Lance Storm ran down the ramp got into the ring and hit a Superkick of his own onto Palumbo. - Major Gunns got off of the apron and the referee turned around. When he turned around he saw Sean O'Haire attack Mike Awesome. Team Canada recruit at the bottom of the ramp, with all of them grinning. Storm and Awesome make motions that they're coming for O'Haire and Palumbo's straps. COMMERCIAL BREAK[/size] Stacy Keibler is seen walking down the hallway before she stops infront of Mark Jindrak and Shawn Stasiak. She tells the duo that she's just got them a match against Alex Wright and Disqo Inferno on Nitro. Stasiak then tells Stacy that she is no longer their manager. Stacy looks confused before Jimmy Hart appears with his signature megaphone. Stacy's jaw drops before she storms off. Dustin Rhodes defeated Rick Steiner.- We closed the show with a decent main event. - Rick Steiner hit some vicious shots to Rhodes, but Rhodes stayed in the match and hit Steiner with some vicious shots of his own. - Steiner missed the Diving Bulldog and Rhodes quickly hit the Lone Star State of Mind for the three.[/font]

- Figuring that Animal will be a face now. - Wonder where this whole Stacy thing will be going. - Good bout with Helms/Jett. - I don’t like Dusty winning a 1 on 3 handicap match by DQ. I know they are heels, but Jarrett shouldn’t have to go to the guitar in that situation. - Pretty funny segment with 3 Count. - Solid cruiserweight tag team action. - Alright main event, I suppose. Steiner winning was expected.
