[/b] def. Evan Karagias (w/ Mr. Harris)[/b]. - Billy Kidman represented The Filthy Animals out there against Evan Karagias, in what was a tremendous way to kick off the show. Both men hit a lot of unorthadox moves, including Karagias hitting a wicked Springboard Hurricanrana, but he was only able to get a two. Mr. Harris interfered when he whacked Kidman his his briefcase, this lead to Tygress getting onto the apron and Harris got into the ring. Harris and Karagias hit a double team move that I believe Harris has used in tag team matches on the indy circuit and it's dubbed the Death Sentence there, but there was no name for it tonight. Karagias began to taunt the crowd and by the time he made the cover, Kidman was able to get out at two. Kidman was able to nail the Kid Krusher for the three count, and get some revenge on Karagias.
Billy Kidman holds his ribs as Tygress hugs him on the ramp. Tony Schiavone reminds us that at Slamboree we will see Shannon Moore, Mr. Harris and Evan Karagias take on Billy Kidman, Konnan and a mystery partner.
* Backstage, Pamela Paulshock (Who is now handling the Nitro interviews while Gene Okerlund does the Thunder interviews) was standing by with the WCW United States Champion, Booker T and Stevie Ray. Booker T told Pamela that Jeff Jarrett has injured him, and attacked his brother on Thunder, and now it's time for the two of them to get a measure of revenge. Booker tells Jarrett that the beating he gets tonight is only a sample of what he's going to get at Slamboree.
* Bam Bam Bigelow def. Wayne DeBruce[/color] - WCW PowerPlant graduate, Wayne DeBruce has teamed with Goldberg several times, including the night when Goldberg was forced to retire after him and DeBruce lost to Totally Buff at Sin back in January of this year. DeBruce was squashed in a matter of minutes by Bigelow, who hit a series of big moves. Bigelow finished DeBruce off with the Greetings From Asbury Park.
Bigelow yelled into the camera that nobody can beat him, and he proved that on Thunder and tonight. Out of nowhere, Crowbar is seen sliding into the room. He attacks Bigelow with a chair, but it doesn't seem to affect Bigelow. Scott Hudson says that Crowbar wants a piece of Bigelow after Bigelow sidelined Daffney this past Thursday on Thunder. Crowbar climbed to the top rope and leaped off, looking to connect with a crossbody, but Bigelow nailed him with a headbutt. Bigelow then picked Crowbar up and hit a sitout powerbomb. Bigelow kicked Crowbar out of the ring as we cut to a commercial.
* Non-Title Match: Air Paris and AJ Styles def. WCW Cruiserweight Tag Team Champions, Elix Skipper and Kid Romeo. - Kid Romeo and Elix Skipper, the current reigning WCW Cruiserweight Tag Team Champions, thought they had an easy match against Air Paris and AJ Styles, tonight but boy they were wrong. They toyed around with Styles in the early going, but when Styles nailed an awesome Hurricanrana onto Skipper and then took Romeo down with an enziguri, Skipper and Romeo recruited outside and discussed their tactic. They didn't get long to discuss their tactics as Styles done a Shooting Star Press onto both of them outside! Styles put Skipper into the ring and Paris hit a 450 Splash for the victory.
Air Raid celebrated like crazy on the ramp. The crowd cheered them on after their great, high flying display out there. Romeo recovers and he starts to kick the steel steps in rage.
* Pamela Paulshock was standing by backstage with Ric Flair. Flair told Pamela that she looks great before telling The Road Warriors that they made a huge mistake by hitting him this past week on Thunder. Flair tells The Road Warriors that tonight they will suffer for what they done.
* When we come back from the commercial, Scott Hudson and Tony Schiavone run down the current Slamboree card. Already announced is: Scott Steiner will defend his WCW World Heayweight Championship against Sting; Booker T against Jeff Jarrett for the WCW United States Championship; Rey Misterio, Jr. challenges Shane Helms for the WCW Cruiserweight Championship. Evan Karagias, Shannon Moore and Mr. Harris take on Konnan, Billy Kidman and a partner of their choice and Team Canada challenge Sean O'Haire and Chuck Palumbo for the WCW World Tag Team Championships!
* Chavo Guerrero, Jr. was backstage with his bodyguard, Scott Norton and Pamela Paulshock. Chavo told Pamela that last week on Nitro, he was screwed out of earning a WCW Cruiserweight Championship match, and he won't let the dust settle. Chavo says that he has just been to Ric Flair's office and on Thunder it will be him and Scott Norton against Rey Misterio, Jr. and Billy Kidman. Chavo says that if him and Norton win then he is in the Cruiserweight Title match at Slamboree.
* Lance Storm and Mike Awesome def. Kwee-Wee and Lenny Lane (w/ Paisley). - Kwee-Wee found a tag team partner in the returning Lenny Lane tonight, but the team seemed more interested in posing, and fixing their hair. All this done with piss Team Canada off, and lead to Team Canada beating away at Team Glitter, as Scott Hudson called them. Lance Storm hit Kwee-Wee with a Superkick and he turned around and was hit with the Awesome Bomb.
Lance Storm and Mike Awesome motioned into the cameras that they are coming for Chuck Palumbo and Sean O'Haire's WCW World Tag Team Championships.
* Mark Jindrak and Shawn Stasiak were shown backstage. Jindrak was talking about how since adapting Jimmy Hart as their manager, they've been on a roll. Stasiak asks Jindrak if he thinks Stacy is alright after KroniK hit her with the High Times. Jindrak looks at Stasiak with a shocked look before he laughs. Jimmy Hart appears and tells them that on Thunder he's just got them a match against Hugh Morrus and Lash LeRoux of The Misfits In Action.
* Scott Hudson and Tony Schiavone hype our 5 vs. 5 main event which is next!
* Sting, Booker T, Road Warrior Animal, Road Warrior Hawk and Stevie Ray def. Scott Steiner, Jeff Jarrett, Rick Steiner, Lex Luger and Buff Bagwell (w/ Midajah). - This was a fantastic match to watch, as each men got their chance to shine in the ring. The crowd loved it, mainly because it was Sting's first match in six months. Scott Steiner and Sting worked well together, so their match at Slamboree shall be great. Sting made Buff Bagwell tap to the Scorpion Deathlock to get the victory for his team.
As Sting, Booker T, The Road Warriors and Stevie Ray celebrated, Scott Steiner, Jeff Jarrett, Rick Steiner and Totally Buff attacked them. Ric Flair made his way from the back with a microphone. He quickly made his way down the ramp and got into the ring as Scott Steiner locked Sting in the Steiner Recleiner. Ric Flair went up into Sting's face and spit on him! Ric Flair said that since Animal's departure from The Magnificent Seven, they've been a member down - until tonight! Curt Hennig hops the guardrail and begins to put the boots to Road Warrior Animal. Ric Flair reveals Curt Hennig as Road Warrior Animal's replacement. Hennig nails Animal with a sloppy Hennig-Plex before he hugs each member of The Magnificent Seven. The Magnificent Seven raise their arms as they stand tall in the ring, with bodies all around them.[/font][/quote]

Billy Kidman vs Evan Karagias was a solid way to open the show, makes sense for Kidman to get the win. Paris and Styles getting the win is surprising but definitely awesome. Bigelow getting the win is awesome and I hope he gets a big push. Team Canada win is a plus to me as well, I really liked them. Main event was solid and the right team won.

[/b], Shannon Moore and Evan Karagias (w/ Scott Norton and Mr. Harris) def. WCW Cruiserweight Champion, Shane Helms, Rey Misterio, Jr. and Billy Kidman (w/ Tygress and Konnan). - As usual, the cruiserweights kicked the show off with a tremendous six person tag team match. Billy Kidman was definitely the highlight of the match as he pulled off a series of awesome mvoes that left Chavo, Evan and Shannon all down and out several times. Rey Misterio, Jr. and Shane Helms will be facing off at Slamboree for the WCW Cruiserweight Championship, and it was clear they were having some miscommunication problems. Rey went for a Springboard Senton to Evan, but Evan moved out of the way and Rey hit Shane. Shane shoved Rey to the outside before Chavo attacked Helms and quickly nailed a Brainbuster for the three count.
Chavo is quick to celebrate pinning the Cruiserweight Champion as Mike Tenay talks about how that must entitle Chavo Guerrero to a future WCW Cruiserweight Championship match.
* Gene Okerlund was standing by backstage with The Steiner Brothers and Midajah ahead of tonights huge tag team main event. Scott Steiner said that he has already proved he is the greatest wrestler alive today, and tonight him and his brother are going to prove that The Road Warriors aren't the greatest tag team, but The Steiner Brothers are.
* Hardcore Match: Crowbar def. Jason Jett. - Two of WCW's finest athletes took to the ring for a Hardcore Match, that was surprisingly a great contest. Jason Jett impressed the crowd with some high flying moves, but in the end Crowbar took home the victory when he nailed Jett with a German Suplex onto a trashcan.
Crowbar got a microphone afterwards and began to screech into the mic that Bam Bam Bigelow took away the one thing that mattered to him - Daffney. Crowbar tells Bigelow that he doesn't want to wait until Slamboree and that they should get this over and done with right now! Crowbar waits on Bigelow, but Bigelow doesn't come from the back. Crowbar grabbed a steel chair and raised it up high as the crowd went nuts. Crowbar headed up the ramp with a chair as Mike Tenay speculated that if Bigelow isn't coming out to Crowbar, Crowbar is going back to Bigelow!
* Mark Jindrak and Mark Jindrak (w/ Jimmy Hart) def. Kaz Hayashi and Yang (w/ Stacy Keibler). - Mark Jindrak and Shawn Stasiak impressed tonight in what was a fantastic tag team contest with Yang and Kaz Hayashi. Jindrak and Stasiak pulled off some great double team moves, and a Superkick/Powerbomb combination on Yang put this one to rest.
Afterwards, while Stasirak celebrated their victory, Stacy Keibler tells Stasirak that KroniK and The Jung Dragons may have failed at beating them, but at Slamboree she is challenging them once again, but this time Stacy is bringing in her own tag team, that aren't apart of WCW. Stacy tells Stasirak to enjoy their time in the spotlight, because it's going to come to an end at Slamboree.
* Crowbar was shown storming down the hallway, kicking in locker room doors, in search of Bam Bam Bigelow. Crowbar was blindsided by Bigelow who choked Crowbar out on the ground. The pair brawled down the hall, using any weapon in site. They eventually ended up in the parking lot, and Bigelow got Crowbar on the ground before Powerbombing him through a car's windshield!! Bigelow told Crowbar that he'll see him at Slamboree before he heads off.
* Curt Hennig (w/ Ric Flair) def. Wayne DeBruce. - There's absolutely nothing to comment on here as Curt Hennig made extremely quick work of DeBruce, eventually nailing an impressive Hennig-Plex for the victory around three minutes in.
Curt Hennig and Ric Flair celebrated in the ring as we go to a commercial.
* Team Canada were backstage in The Cat's office complaining about something. The Cat tells them that he wants Lance Storm and Chuck Palumbo's match to be fair, and not have any outside interference. Storm acuses The Cat of favouring Palumbo and O'Haire because their American. The Cat tells Lance Storm that O'Haire is banned from ringside also. Storm continues to insult The Cat before The Cat tells Storm that he may be the commissioner, but that won't stop him kicking Storm's booty. Team Canada look at him in disgust before leaving.
* Lance Storm def. Chuck Palumbo. - Lance Storm and Chuck Palumbo actually pulled off a fantastic singles match that the crowd just ate up. Palumbo showed a serious amount of stength when he hoisted Storm in a suplex and held him in the air for around twenty seconds. In the end, Palumbo went for the ten corner punches but Storm shoved him down before putting his feet on the ropes for the victory.
* The Magnificent Seven are shown in their locker room. Flair says that they're 1-0 tonight, and they're going to make it 2-0. Woooo!
* Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk def. WCW World Heavyweight Champion, Scott Steiner and Rick Steiner (w/ Midajah). (Disqualification) - This was a slow and uneventual contest, but the crowd enjoyed it since it had two of the greatest tag teams of all-time wrestling. The Road Warriors looked for the victory when Hawk pinned Rick, but Scott attacked the referee, thus ending the match in a disqualification.
The Road Warriors and The Steiner Brothers brawled until Ric Flair came down the ramp with Curt Hennig, Jeff Jarrett, Buff Bagwell and Lex Luger. The Magnificent Seven beat down The Road Warriors until a hurt Booker T came running down the ramp with Stevie Ray and Dustin Rhodes. They put up a fight, but they were taken out also. The lights went out and when they came back on, Sting was in the ring! Bagwell ran to him but he was taken out, and Luger soon followed. Booker T went after Jeff Jarrett, while The Road Warriors tossed Flair and Hennig over and out. Sting and Steiner brawled in the ring, with Sting nailing the Scorpion Death Drop! Steiner rolled out of the ring and headed up the ramp with the rest of The Magnificent Seven. Sting, Booker T, The Road Warriors, Dusty Rhodes and Stevie Ray stood tall to close the show.[/font][/quote]

Liked the opening 6-man tag, sounded like a good match, nice detail as well, glad Chavo's team won, even though i like both teams, so didnt really care bout the outcome, just hoped for it to be a good match. Nice hardcore match and segment with Bigelow as well. You wrote Mark Jindrak and Mark Jindrak for the tag team instead of Stasiak and Jindrak btw, lol, just thought i'd let you know. but its okay, i do it all the time. Henning getting the win was good, glad it was a quick match at three minutes. Glad storm beat palumbo as well, and good main event with Hawk and Animal winning, even though it was by DQ. The ending with the Magnificent 7 was great, i loved it. Great show, Jord. Keep up the good work.

Nitro: Like the main event, looks good on paper, and a mid-carder can just take the fall. Fine opener, although i'd like to see an eventual opener that isn't the cruisers. Fine win there for Bam Bam. Wow, really surprised to see AJ & Paris win their match. Storm/Awesome are a great team. Ending to the match made sense, and I liked the ending with M7 standing tall.
Thunder: You really seem to like using Chavo. Fine win for Crowbar there. You accidentally put "Mark Jindrak and Mark Jindrak". Wonder who Stacy will end up bringing to fight. Hope it doesn't disappoint. Not surprised to see this DeBruce guy lose again. Main event was good due to the history that the teams have.
Both solid shows.

[/size] def. Konnan (w/ Tygress)[/size]. - After Billy Kidman of The Filthy Animals beat Evan Karagias of 3 Count last week on Nitro, Shannon Moore was looking to even the score tonight. Konnan and Moore put on a decent contest, that actually surprised a few people because it was better than one would expect. Konnan went for the Tequila Sunrise, but Moore quickly rolled out of the ring. Mr. Harris clocked Konnan with his briefcase and Konnan stumbled back into a roll-up from Moore which got him the three count.
Shannon Moore and Mr. Harris waste no time in taunting Konnan from the ramp, as the crowd shower them with boos. Konnan is stunned at his loss.
* A limo pulls into the parking lot and Pamela Paulshock is waiting on the door to open. The door opens and Ric Flair enters, to a good reaction from the crowd, even although he's a heel. Pamela tells Ric that tonight The Cat has booked Scott Steiner against David Flair, and Ric Flair against Sting in the main event! Ric Flair flips out and kicks the limo before storming off, yelling that The Cat can't do that.
* Chavo Guerrero, Jr. made his way down the ramp with his bodyguard, Scott Norton. Chavo got a microphone from David Penzer and announced that because he pinned the WCW Cruiserweight Champion this past Thursday on Thunder, he has been inserted in the Cruiserweight Title match at Slamboree. Jason Jett's music hits and he comes out to a mixed reaction from the crowd.
* Chavo Guerrero, Jr. (w/ Scott Norton)[/size] def. Jason Jett[/color]. - Chavo Guerrero, Jr. and Jason Jett put on a match that proved a delight to watch. Chavo didn't take Jett seriously, but when Jett floored Chavo with a Spinning Heel Kick, Chavo reliased he didn't have any easy opponent. A distraction from Scott Norton and Chavo took control and it wasn't long before he hit the Brainbuster for the three count.
Chavo Guerrero motioned that he is coming for the Cruiserweight Championship as we cut to the backstage area.
* Pamela Paulshock was standing by with the current reigning WCW United States Champion, Booker T. Booker says that he still isn't 100% healed, but he's close to it and at Slamboree it's going to be his pleasure to kick Jeff Jarrett's ass from turnbuckle to turnbuckle.
* Ric Flair is shown in The Magnificent Seven's locker room. Flair is complaining about The Cat booking him in tonights main event and Scott Steiner against his son, David Flair. Ric tells Steiner that he doesn't want him to hurt David, and he's going to go and tell David to lay down for Steiner out there. Steiner snaps and tells Ric that Sting embarrassed him last week, and that nobody embarrasses Big Poppa Pump. Steiner tells Flair that he wants to kick somebodies ass, and he's sorry, but tonight it's David Flair. Steiner storms out the room as Ric Flair shakes his head. Flair knocks some stuff off of his desk as we cut to ringside.
* Tony Schiavone and Scott Hudson talk about how cracks are beginning to form in The Magnificent Seven, and how they are glad they aren't in David Flair's shoes right now. They run down the Slamboree card.
* Non-Title Match: WCW Cruiserweight Tag Team Champions, Elix Skipper[/color] and Kid Romeo def. Cash and Jamie Knoble[/color]. - Cash and Jamie Knoble had a huge oppurtunity ahead of them tonight as a win over the Cruiserweight Tag Team Champions in their second match teaming together would do wonders for the two of them. The champions seemed alot more ruthless than usual, most likely because they were upset by Air Raid this past week on Nitro. Tony Schiavone announced that at Slamboree, Romeo and Skipper will put the belts on the line against Air Raid. Skipper pinned Cash after the Play of The Day.
Skipper and Romeo raised the titles up to the camera while shouting that the belts are theirs.
* Ric Flair was shown storming down the hallway, yelling for his son, David Flair. Eventually, Ric found him in a locker room where David didn't seem pleased as the locker was trashed and David was kicking the lockers. Ric tried to calm David down about the match with Scott Steiner, but David was pleading with his dad to do something about the match. Ric told David that he spoke with Scott and Scott just wants David to lay down and let him win. David looks at Ric confused, telling him that he's not laying down for him. Ric tells David that the World Champion isn't going to lose to some nobody just days before a big World Title match at the PPV. David stands up and tells Ric to get out of his locker right now. Ric tells him that he's sorry and that he's got a lot on his plate right now. The pair go face to face, but Ric leaves the room as David then kicks a bin over in anger.
* Lance Storm[/color] and Mike Awesome[/color] def. Mark Jindrak and Shawn Stasiak (w/ Jimmy Hart). - This was a tremendous tag team match that went on alot longer than everyone expected, as it lasted around seven or eight minutes. Stasirak continue to get over with the wins each week, and tonight was no different. Stacy Keibler's music hit and she come out onto the ramp in her Miss Hancock get-up. Keibler performed a striptease on the ramp, which distracted Stasiak and Jindrak. Lance Storm took Jindrak out of the ring and Awesome hit Stasiak with the Awesome Bomb for the three count.
The camera focuses on Stacy Keibler, who just grins. She picks up her clothes and heads to the back as Jimmy Hart looks furious in the ring. Jindrak helps Stasiak up as Team Canada celebrate on the ramp.
* Non-Title Match: WCW World Heavyweight Champion, Scott Steiner (w/ Midajah) def. David Flair[/color]. - David Flair immediantly went after Steiner when he entered the ring, but Steiner shoved him down and then hit a huge clothesline taht left Flair sprawled out on the matt. Steiner just toyed around with Flair for around four minutes before he hit a T-Bone from the second rope and then locked in the Steiner Recleiner as David Flair passed out.
Scott Steiner celebrated with Midajah, with David Flair's blood on his chest. Ric Flair came running down the ramp and he immediantly checked on David Flair. Scott Steiner went over to Ric and Flair looked up and shook his head at Steiner. Flair repeatedly tells Steiner that he didn't have to do so much to him, tears are in Flair's eyes. Steiner just leaves the ring with Midajah as Ric screams for some medical attention for David.
* When we return from the commercial, Schavione talks about how David Flair has been taken to a nearby medical facility after he suffered a horrendous beating at the hands of Scott Steiner. We then cut to the parking lot where David Flair is loaded into an ambulance. Flair gets in and closes the door. Tony Schiavone almost dies because Flair is apart of the main event.
* Pamela Paulshock is standing by backstage with Stacy Keibler. Pamela asks Stacy if she can tell her who her tag team will be at Slamboree. Stacy looks at Pamela in disgust before telling her that just like the rest of the world, she will have to wait to find out who her new tag team are. Jimmy Hart approaches Stacy and tells her that just like her, her team this Sunday is going to suck. Stacy goes to throw her water over Hart, but Hart moves out the way and Stacy gets it over Major Gunns, who was standing nearby. Major Gunns and Stacy begin to roll around in the hallway. They are quickly seperated, but they are both yelling at each other.
* Sting def. Curt Hennig[/color]. (Countout) - This was a tremendous way to close the show. Curt Hennig was replacing Ric Flair, and he put on a great contest with Sting. Both men exchanged momentum constantly, and it was extremely hard to predict who was winning. Hennig went for the Hennig-Plex, but Sting turned it into a Scorpion Death Drop! Hennig quickly rolled out of the ring and headed up the ramp, thus resulting in the match ending via countout.
Hennig continues to head up the ramp as Sting looks quite annoyed. Hennig turns around half way up the ramp and flips Sting off! Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk came down the ramp behind Hennig and they grabbed him and tossed him back into the ring. Hennig stomped away at Hawk, but Animal took Hennig down. The duo hit the Doomsday Device. The Road Warriros and Sting work the crowd to close the show.[/font][/quote]

Nice opening segment there, liked all the intensity. Opener was fine, surprised Moore won. Not surprised Chavo won. Like all the M7 promos. Good way to get some heat back for Romeo/Skipper. Great segment between The Flairs. Nice tag match, those two teams are pushed the most. Wonder who Stacy will bring at the PPV. Steiner over Flair was the right call. Sting/Henning is an excellent match to put on. Good way to close the show. Good show, enjoyed it.

-Sting/Flair is godly -Moore winning is good, the 3 Count/Filthy Animals feud is going good -Classic Flair flip out -Chavo winning was the right call, love that Norton is his body guard -Skipper & Romeo winning is great, I'm so looking forward to their match with Air Raid -Like that Team Canada won, not a fan of Jindrak & Stasiak [although I love his theme ] Also, loved the striptease -Steiner over David Flair was obvious, liked that it caused friction between Steiner & Flair -Not liking that Sting/Flair can't happen, but Henning is a great replacement. Sting winning was the right move, and it kept Henning looking strong. Great ending I agree, this has been possibly my favorite show in this so far. Loved it.

WCW Monday Nitro...April 30 2001...Good way to kick off this edition of Nitro, with a promo to start off, Ric Flair announcing a five-on-five match for tonight is good, I can actually see that happening in WCW. [You know, back in January or February 2001, hehe]. Billy Kidman I hope gets a push later on in the year, good match with Kidman going over Evan Karagias. I hope 3 Count manage to retain their offense in the feud, however. Can't see them beating the Filthy Animals, though. Bam Bam Bigelow beating Wayne DeBruce is fine, nothing too big. By the way, DeBruce is not a graduate of the PowerPlant, he is a trainer of the PowerPlant. Nice, a feud with Bigelow and Crowbar won't advance alot, but is realistic. Air Raid beating the WCW Cruiserweight Tag Team Champions is interesting, but I suppose it means a push for Air Raid, over the more popular Elix Skipper and Kid Romeo team. Good way to get Lance Storm and Mike Awesome over, having them beat Kwee-Wee and Lane. SOlid ten-man tag team main event, as all hell predictably broke loose.
WCW Thursday Thunder...May 3 2001...Solid six-man tag team contest to start off Thunder, great stuff, Chavo Guerrero, Jr teaming with 3 Count to beat Shane Helms and the Filthy Animals is suprising, if I'm being honest. Crowbar winning a hardcore match gets him over. Jason Jett was never the most popular performer, so I'm fine with it. Bam Bam Bigelow vs Crowbar is a good undercard feud, to go into Slamboree. Solid tag team match, with Mark Jindrak and Mark Jindrak [wowzers] beating Yang and Kaz Hayashi. Hope you eventually give Jung Dragons a push, great talents there. Curt Hennig beating Wayne DeBruce is fine, a nothing match, really. Solid match between Lance Storm and Chuck Palumbo, Storm picking up the win doesn't really upset me. Solid main event, The Road Warriors vs The Steiner Brothers is a personal dreammatch, but it wouldn't be too grand in that day and age. More chaos is nice, Sting making a cameo is good.

[/size]. - This was a fantastic tag team match, that saw Rey Misterio get worked over by KroniK, but he got the tag to Konnan who brought a fight to the table. Mr. Harris attempted to trip Konnan, but he tripped Adams by accident. Adams was arguing with Harris and when he turned around Rey hit a Springboard Dropkick and then Konnan quickly hit the Facejam for the three.
The Filthy Animals celebrated on the ramp as Mr. Harris yelled at KroniK. Harris got into KroniK's face and began to call them failures. Bryan Clarke floored Harris, and then KroniK tossed Moore and Karagias out of the ring. They grabbed Harris by the collar and nailed the High Times.
* Gene Okerlund was standing by backstage with the current reigning WCW World Heavyweight Champion, Scott Steiner and Midajah. Gene asked Steiner about Ric Flair and Steiner told Gene that Ric Flair is a whiney old man, who needs to shut the hell up, and take the back seat because he's had his time. Steiner says it's The Year of Big Poppa Pump, and David Flair found out that he's the baddest man on the WCW roster this past Monday, and if he needs to he'll show Ric the same thing.
* Major Gunns def. Stacy Keibler. - These two slapped each other a few times and tossed each other around by the hair. Shawn Stasiak and Mark Jindrak's theme played which distracted Stacy. Major Gunns pulled Stacy's shorts down and rolled her up for the three count.
Major Gunns celebrates at ringside as Stacy has a temper tantrum in the ring. Major Gunns takes her shorts and top off and throws them into the crowd before heading up the ramp in her underwear... SLUT.
* Hardcore Match: Bam Bam Bigelow[/color] def. The Cat (w/ Ms. Jones). - Bam Bam Bigelow made quick work of the WCW Commissioner in this Hardcore Match. Ms. Jones cheered The Cat on, but The Cat couldn't get Bigelow off his feet. The Cat hit Bigelow three times with a chair before he went down, and he only got a two count. Bigelow hit the Greetings From Asbury Park for the three.
Ms. Jones attended to The Cat afterwards as Bigelow soaked up the crowds heat. Bigelow grabbed Ms. Jones by the hair as Mike Tenay talks about how Bigelow has already taken Daffney out, but Crowbar came running down the ramp with a chair and Bigelow slid out of the ring, grinning. Crowbar hit the chair off the ropes in anger.
* Mark Jindrak, Shawn Stasiak and Jimmy Hart were backstage with Gene Okerlund. Jimmy Hart told Gene that Stacy Keibler could bring the baddest team on the planet, and Stasirak would still win. Hart says that Stacy cannot find a team that can beat Stasirak and that's the bottom line because Jimmy Hart said so!
* The Magnficent Seven are in their locker. Scott Steiner stands up and says that as far as he's concerned, Ric Flair is no longer apart of The Magnificent Seven. There's some silence in the room before Midajah claps, and then everyone does. Steiner tells Lex Luger that he's got Sting tonight, and he knows he's going to destroy Sting, but he wants him to leave a little bit of Sting for him at Slamboree. Luger tells Steiner that he'll make him easy pickings at Slamboree before he heads out with Buff Bagwell.
* Sting def. Lex Luger (w/ Buff Bagwell). - This was nothing special at all, but it was filled with nostalgia, and that's all I enjoyed about it. Totally Buff are entertaining as hell together, especially Bagwell who knows how to work a crowd. Luger looked to finish Sting off with the Torture Rack, but Sting slipped out and took the fight to Luger before nailing the Scorpion Death Drop for the three.
* A limo pulls into the parking lot and Ric Flair steps out and heads into the arena, not looking pleased. Tenay and Heenan say that Ric Flair isn't scheduled to be here tonight, as Flair storms into the arena.
* When we return from the commercial, Ric Flair storms down the ramp to a mixed reaction from the crowd. Flair immediantly gets a microphone and calls out the WCW World Champion, Scott Steiner. After a few seconds, the sirens play out and Scott Steiner comes out with Midajah on his arm. Ric Flair says that he knew that Scott Steiner was destined for the top and he knew he could take anyone out, but when he took his son, David Flair out, he went too far and he won't settle for it! Flair tosses his jacket down and demands that Steiner come to the ring and take him on, man to man right now so that Ric can give him the beating he deserves. Ric says it's about time Scott Steiner got some respect beat into him. Scott Steiner begins to make his way down the ramp when he suddenly stops. He says that this Sunday he's going to put that old cripple Sting back on the inactive list, and then Ric Flair can have the honour of following Sting to the retirement home, because when the Steiner Recleiner is in, it's all over. The sirens begin to play as the show comes to a close.[/font][/quote]

Here it is; Helms over Knoble is a good move, I'd rather someone else get in title contention than Knoble. Perhaps Cash could be in with a chance next. Rey Misterio and Konnan winning was the right move as it was leading to that nice segment afterwards. Simple divas match. Bigelow over the Cat was predictable, nice way to bring out Crowbar afterwards, always been a fan of his. I was expecting Luger to beat Sting along with Bagwell, but obviously not. Nice segment with Ric after the match. I'm going to start reading this as I admittedly haven't been doing. Nice job on this, Jord. Look forward to Slamboree.

Solid opening match there. Glad Rey/Konnan won, that team reminds me of your TNA diary. Fine to have a women's match, like the distraction to add a little heat. Hope Stacy brings a good team. Heh, funny how Bam Bam won even though Cat was talking trash. Great main event, especially for Thunder. Like the ending to the show with Big Poppa Pump getting time. Good show.

Monday Nitro...May 7 2001...Okay opening promo to kick off WCW Nitro this week, with The Cat. I never really liked The Cat. Hmm, David Flair coming back is okay I suppose, as long as Scott Steiner kills him. Haha. Shannon Moore beating Konnan is a decent opening contest, hope Three Count win at Slamboree, to be honest. Chavo Guerrero beating Jason Jett is okay I suppose, filler, but gets Chavo over. Good cruiserweight tag team match, with Cash and Jamie Knoble losing to the WCW Cruiserweight Tag Team Champions, Elix Skipper and Kid Romeo. I hope you don't decide to drop those titles, I really enjoyed them. Last breath of WCW's originality. Decent tag team match, with Lance Storm and Mike Awesome getting another victory. Haha, Scott Steiner murdering David Flair. NOYCE. Solid closing match with Sting and Curt Hennig, but dislike a brawl ending another WCW show. Hopefully Magnificent Seven end soon, as this is like nWo all over again.
Thursday Thunder...May 10 2001...Solid opening contest, with WCW World Cruiserweight Champion, Shane Helms getting over, by beating Jamie Knoble. Think that Cash should of gotten involved somehow, that'd of been pretty nice, and set up to a mini-feud, following Slamboree. Even if that isn't what you're looking for really, haha. KroniK as Three Count's hitmen against two of the Filthy Animals is a sweet decision. Rey Misterio, Jr and Konnan going over though? Interesting. Bad womens match, haha, classic striptease. Bam Bam Bigelow beating The Cat is fine, kill of The Cat please, then make a new WCW Commissioner. Hate The Cat. Sting beating Lex Luger wouldn't be too grand a match, but good main event, but meh, another action scene. End that all at Slamboree. PLEASE.

[/b] def. WCW Crusierweight Champion, Shane Helms and Rey Misterio, Jr. (w/ Tygress)[/b]. - In typical WCW fashion, the cruiserweights kicked the show off in style. All three men put on a high flying spectacle that left the crowd in awe. Rey Misterio, Jr. almost captured the gold after a Springboard Senton to Chavo, but Helms broke up the count and took control of the contest. Chavo claimed his third WCW Cruiserweight Championship when he hit Helms with the Brainbuster.
Chavo Guerrero celebrates with the Cruiserweight Championship and Scott Norton by his side. Schiavone sends us to the back where Pamela Paulshock is standing by with Crowbar.
Pamela Paulshock is shown next to Crowbar, who is pacing around behind Pamela with a steel chair. Pamela asks Crowbar about his Hardcore Match with Bam Bam Bigelow to which Crowbar tells her that he idolized Terry Funk, and he has fought with the best. He says Bigelow may have the size and strength advantage, but Terry Funk, a hardcore legend, found out that Crowbar is not someone to mess with.
* Hardcore Match: Bam Bam Bigelow[/b] def. Crowbar[/b]. - Surprisingly, this was an extremely good contest that got a fair amount of time. Crowbar used almost every weapon imagineable, including a Playstation 2. Daffney made her return to WCW TV when she came down the ramp with a trashcan filled with weapons which she gave to Crowbar. Crowbar seemed to have things going his way until Daffney clocked him with a steel chair and Crowbar stumbled into the Greeting's From Asbury Park onto a trashcan for the three.
Afterwards, Daffney kneeled down next to Crowbar and began to scream in his face. She began to play with her hair, before storming up the ramp, leaving Crowbar in the ring.
* Jeff Jarrett was backstage in The Magnificent Seven locker room. Jarrett was lacing up his boots before he stood up and said that tonight he is bringing the United States Title to the group and Scott Steiner is retaining the World Title.
* WCW Cruiserweight Tag Team Championships: WCW Cruiserweight Tag Team Champions, Elix Skipper[/color] and Kid Romeo[/color] def. AJ Styles and Air Paris. - Both these teams went all-out to put on a high flying spectacle that left the crowd in awe, and they certainly delivered. The young team of Air Raid were determined to capture the belts, but they couldn't take the belts home as Elix Skipper pinned Styles following a Spike DDT from the second rope.
* Pamela Paulshock was running down the hallway shouting on Daffney. She eventually caught up with Daffney and asked her why she turned on Crowbar. Daffney began to laugh into the camera before she picked a pair of scissors up from off a drawer. She began to snip away at her hair before she dropped it all over the floor.
* Konnan, Billy Kidman and BG James (w/ Tygress) def. Shannon Moore, Evan Karagias and Mr. Harris[/b]. - BG James turned out to be The Filthy Animal's new partner, and he got a great reaction from the crowd. James from released from his WWF contract on January 26th of this year. This match was nothing special, but the crowd actually really enjoyed. BG James pinned Harris after a Pumphandle Slam.
* Pamela Paulshock was standing by backstage with Jeff Jarrett, who had his signature guitar. Jeff Jarrett told Pamela that tonight he plans on taking Booker T's WCW United States Championship, and taking it home to The Magnificent Seven.
* WCW United States Championship: Jeff Jarrett def. WCW United States Champion, Booker T. - Booker T and Jeff Jarrett put on a solid tag team contest that proved a delight to watch. Both men wrestled back and forth the entire contest, but Shane Douglas appeared and distracted the referee which allowed Jarrett to crack his guitar over Booker T's head. Jarrett made the cover and captured the title.
Shane Douglas heads up the ramp with the beautiful Torrie Wilson as Jeff Jarrett celebrates on the turnbuckle with the U.S. Championship! What the hell is up with Shane Douglas?
* The camera cuts backstage where we see a Canadian flag. The camera zooms out and we see Lance Storm and Mike Awesome standing in front of the flag. Lance Storm says that tonight, it's time that the WCW World Tag Team Championships come home to Canada where they belong!
* WCW World Tag Team Championships: Lance Storm[/color] and Mike Awesome def. WCW World Tag Team Champions, Sean O'Haire and Chuck Palumbo. - These two teams squared off at The Big Bang, but Team Canada failed in capturing the titles in controversial fashion as Lance Storm's foot was under the ropes, but the referee failed to see this. Both teams, like The Big Bang, put on a tremendous tag team contest. Team Canada captured the gold when Lance Storm nailed Palumbo with a Superkick while Awesome held O'Haire from getting into the ring.
Team Canada quickly celebrate on the ramp with the tag titles as Sean O'Haire looks pissed off. O'Haire checks on Palumbo as Tenay sends us to Pamela Paulshock.
* Pamela Paulshock was standing by with the WCW World Heavyweight Champion, Scott Steiner. Scott told Pamela that he may have some problems with Ric Flair, and tonight he's going to put Sting in the retirement home, and then do the same to Ric Flair.
* WCW World Heavyweight Championship: WCW World Heavyweight Champion, Scott Steiner (w/ Midajah) def. Sting. - This was an all-out war by both men, and the crowd just ate it up. From start to finish it was a tremendous contest, and both men really gave it their all. Ric Flair came down the ramp with David Flair mid-match and when David tried to get into the ring, Ric yanked him off the apron and began to beat him down! Sting looked on confused while the referee watched on. Midajah slid the WCW World Title in and Steiner clocked Sting with it before synching in the Steiner Recleiner.
Scott Steiner, Midajah and Ric Flair celebrate to close off the show.
** DUE TO UNKNOWN REASONS, SHAWN STASIAK AND MARK JINDRAK AGAINST STACY KEIBLER'S NEW TEAM DIDN'T HAPPEN. **[/font][/quote]

What a surprise, 24 hours goes by, and Jord posts another show . Fine for Chavo to win, I know you're a fan of his as well. Heh, PS2 usage is very creative. Too bad AJ/Paris lost but oh well. I think maybe you should unify the tag title belts as having two aren't really necessary. Interesting to use BG, and him getting the pin made sense. Thank you for putting JJ over Booker there. Like Shane Douglas having involvement there as well, always liked him. Glad Awesome/Storm won, they are the better team. Steiner over Sting is good, gets Steiner over. I was about to say, what happened to the Stacy match lol. Hope you have an explanation for it. Good PPV though otherwise.

A solid pay per view. Chavo Guerrero Jr winning the cruiserweight championship seems alright, would of prefared it sticking with Helms or going to Mistero Jr myself. The hardcore match sounded fun and I chucked when a Playstation 2 was used as a weapon, sad thing is I don't see that being unrealistic. Shame Air Paris and AJ Styles didn't win the cruiserweight tag title but I dig both teams anyway. Jarrett winning the US title is good, here's hoping Booker moves back in to the main event scene. Awesome & Storm winning the tag titles is awesome, great team. BG James being the third man is surprisingly awesome, I was always a fan of him in 1998-2002. Still think Sting should of won the world title, I just prefer him over Steiner.
