Like that you kicked off the show with the cruiserweights again. A good match and glad Chavo retained the title. Bigelow/Crowbar sounded like a strange but good fight. I liked Crowbar more with Daffney so I was glad you brought her back but then you had her turn on him. It's interesting to say the least. I'm glad you took my advice and started to call the magnificent seven by their name their my favorite part of this diary. Cruiserweight Tag Match sounded good, glad Romeo & Skipper retained but I don't know what else is there for them in the division. James as the Animals tag partner seems out of place. Match seemed a bit meh and wouldn't of expected that from an Animals/3 Count feud. Jarrett/Booker sounded good, liked the build towards and glad Jarrett picked up the win and the title, more gold on the seven the better. Douglas I'm intrigued by, looking forward to seeing what goes on there. Tag Title match sounded great, Team Canada winning the tag titles is great, hopefully a feud with the Road Warriors is in store for them. Steiner/Sting sounded good, though I didn't really like the finish with the Flaiir family stuff and Sting losing like that, but as I said the more gold on the Seven the better and I'm glad Sting didn't get the title so soon in his return. Overall, some good stuff here, keep it up.

Chavo winning is nice and he can be a good champion. I liked the backstage interview with Crowbar and their match was good. I like Daffney returning and then turning on Crowbar allowing Bam Bam Bigelow to win the match. I am happy to see Elix Skipper and Kid Romeo retain their WCW Cruiserweight Tag Team titles. I feel they are a decent team and the title does not to be tosses between teams. The Daffney segment was great and the gimmick she plays is terrific. I can not say I really enjoy BG James being The Filthy Animal’s new partner, but it works. I like that Jeff Jarrett got air time to promote his match against Booker T for the US title. I am happy Jeff Jarrett won the US title in proper fashion. The interference from Shane Douglas was a good decision. I love that Lance Storm and Mike Awesome got air time. I am very happy to see them defeat Sean O'Haire and Chuck Palumbo, although they made good champions. I feel Team Canada are the better performers and I will be excited to see what you do with them. I like Scott Steiner saying his is going to put Sting in a retirement home. The main event was excellent. I was surprised to see Flair turn on David and Steiner retaining was the right call. Overall, a tremendous show.

-Chavo winning the Cruiserweight Title is good, especially now that he has a bodyguard -The Daffney return was done great and it's even better because BBB won - Styles got pinned. Anyway, match sounded good and hopefully Air Raid can grab the belts in the future. I like Skipper anyway so it's no biggie -Backstage stuff with Daffney sounded really psycho -Good job mentioning that BG James was released from WWF in January. Glad the Filthy Animals won though -There's a lot of Pamela Paulshock on this show -Jarrett winning is great, and a Douglas/Booker feud can be great -Love you for putting the belts on Team Canada, they're great and can draw so much heat. -Steiner retaining is ok, would've loved to have seen Sting win but I think the Magnificent Seven needed it. Nice to see Flair still helping Scott after the beating he gave David Very good show, surprised you took out the Stacy Keibler stuff, but I didn't miss it. Good stuff, interested in what's next.

[/b] def. Hugh Morrus[/b] and Lash LeRoux (w/ Major Gunns). - A win here for The Misfits In Action would have earned them a title shot against Team Canada and the WCW Canadian Tag Team Championships. Both teams actually put on a great tag team contest that ended when Mike Awesome pinned Lash LeRoux following a sick Awesome Bomb.
Team Canada celebrate with the WCW Canadian Tag Team Championships in the ring as Hugh Morrus and Major Gunns checks on Lash LeRoux.
* In a pre-recorded segment, Mike Tenay had a sitdown interview with the deranged Daffney. Daffney told Tenay that when Bam Bam Bigelow sent her to hospital, the doctors reliased that she needed more help than they could give her, because she was addicted to pain.. so they sent her to rehab. Daffney goes on about how Crowbar didn't visit her once, so she took it upon herself to show Crowbar how she felt. Daffney says at the rehab centre she met the most perfect man, who is a complete "bird". Mike Tenay questions Daffney, but she just ignores him and continues on with her story. Daffney says each day, to soothe the pain of being ignored, she would hack away at her hair, and hurt herself. At this point, Daffney breaks into tears while she cuts her hair. Daffney sprinkles her hair as we cut to ringside.
* WCW Cruiserweight Championship: WCW Cruiserweight Champion, Chavo Guerrero, Jr. (w/ Scott Norton)[/size] def. Shane Helms. - Shane Helms got a rematch for the WCW Cruiserweight Championship tonight against Chavo Guerrero, Jr. in what was the match of the night. Both men worked extremely well, and it was a bonus that the contest went on for a staggering eleven minutes, without any commercials. Chavo covered Helms after nailing the Brainbuster.
Chavo celebrates before he orders Scott Norton to attack Shane Helms. Norton grabs ahold of Helms by the throat before nailing a vicious Powerbomb. Chavo raises Norton's arm in victory as we cut to a commercial almost immediantly. I bet it killed TNT to go eleven minutes without a commercial.
* Pamela Paulshock was backstage with Shane Douglas and Torrie Wilson. Pamela asked Douglas why he attacked Booker T at Slamboree. Shane told Pamela that he is The Franchise, and yet he is left off WCW programming week after week, and he is sick of it. Douglas says that valuable air time was given to that joke Booker T, so he wants to save the fans by stopping them from seeing Booker T each week.
* Scott Steiner was shown storming down the hallway with his signature lead pipe, and Midajah quickly running behind him. Steiner climbed up a small set of stairs while yelling on Sting several times. We then reliase that Scott Steiner is in the rafters, and he is on the hunt for Sting. We see the fans screaming down below. Steiner searches the rafters, but he doesn't come across Sting. He does down stairs at the opposite end from where he came up and he is pissed that he didn't find Sting. A backstage worker walks by, and Steiner attacks him with the lead pipe. Steiner beats away at him with the pipe before he locks in the Steiner Recleiner as Midajah smirks.
* Shane Douglas (w/ Torrie Wilson) def. MI Smooth. - Surprisingly, this was a truly fantastic contest. MI Smooth showed signs of improvement believe it or not, and Shane Douglas showed a whole new attitude out there, as he was extremely ruthless. Torrie Wilson interfered by smacking Smooth with her stiletto and then Douglas took control before nailing the Franchiser for the three.
Torrie Wilson and Shane Douglas celebrate before wiping their feet on the matt as Smooth clutches his face where Torrie hit him.
* Pamela Paulshock was backstage with The Filthy Animals, who had the latest addition to their stable, BG James. They spoke about beating 3 Count last night at Slamboree and how now they are moving on to bigger and better things.
* BG James[/color] and Konnan (w/ Tygress) def. Disqo Inferno and Alex Wright. - The Filthy Animals continued to show that they are on winning form tonight, as they beat The Boogie Knights, Disqo Inferno and Alex Wright. In a sidenote, Disqo used to be a member of The Filthy Animals back in 1999/2000. Thank God that came to an end. BG James hit Wright with a Pumphandle Slam for the three count.
BG James, Tygress and Konnan celebrate with the crowd at ringside before Tony Schiavone sends us to the back.
* We cut to The Magnificent Seven's locker room where they are all drinking champagne. Jeff Jarrett refuses a drink at first, but he takes one and says that he can beat Booker T even when he's drunk. They all laugh before Jeff grabs his guitar and his United States Championship before leaving the room. The camera shows Ric Flair who seems uneasy about Sting saying he has a surprise for him that will happen anytime, anyplace. Scott Steiner tells Ric Flair that The Magnificent Seven are on top of the world, and that he should just relax.
* WCW United States Championship: WCW United States Champion, Jeff Jarrett[/color] def. Booker T. - We closed down Nitro with a tremendous contest, which was a rematch from Slamboree, between Booker T and Jeff Jarrett for the United States Championship. Booker T was determined to reclaim the United States Championship, but it wasn't to be, as Jarrett was able to avoid Booker's Axe Kick and roll Booker up and grab a handful of tights to retain the title.
Jeff Jarrett quickly runs up the ramp and celebrates with the US Title as Booker T tries to tell the referee that Jarrett cheated. Booker points at Jarrett as we come to a close.[/font][/quote]

WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING NEWS & NOTES Posted by Jordan McLean; May 15th, 2001
+ The buyrate for WCW Slamboree, which took place this past Sunday, is in and it is roughly 0.25. The company are extremely pleased with this as The Big Bang done a 0.18, and Greed done a 0.10. This is showing that more and more people are beginning to tune into WCW each week.
+ ECW alumini, Yoshihiro Tajiri made his WCW this past week at Nitro in a winning effort against Cash. Yoshihiro isn't expected to be the only ECW alumni to sign a contract with the company. Apparently, WCW are close to finalizing deals with Rob Van Dam, Rhino, Sabu, Justin Credible and Dawn Marie among many others. The WWF are also interested in Rob Van Dam and Dawn Marie, so it will be interesting to see who goes where.
+ The WCW have been in negotiations with the all female wrestling promoation GAEA in Japan for the past few weeks as the company are looking to resurrect the WCW Womens Championship, and they want world class female talent. A source close to WCW said that only Madusa and possibly Daffney would be competing for the title. Whether WCW goes through with the division remains to be seen.
+ Speaking of WCW talent relationships, the companys relationship with NJPW is expected to be used alot more frequently by both companys. WCW are looking to bring some lightweight workers to help boost the cruiserweight tag team division and the cruiserweight division. Jado and Gedo are rumoured to be competing for the straps shortly.
+ Daffney is in-store for a big push in the coming weeks. It's rumoured that WCW have a male talent to align with Daffney shortly. They are keeping the name of the male talent underwraps.
+ In some extremely interesting news, Paul E. Heyman, the owner of the now defunct ECW, has been in negotiations with WCW about possibly coming into work with them. Although Ted Turner and Paul Heyman aren't the best of friends, both men have publicly said they would be willing to get along. and put the past behind them. If Heyman does come on-board, he will either be a manager or a booker.

Wonder what the surprise is going to involve. Interesting to bring in Tajiri, he fits into the mold well in my opinion. Figure JJ will retain his title later tonight. Storm/Awesome winning was the right call. Interesting that you gave Helms his rematch just 24 hours later. Douglas push ftw. Love Steiner going on the hunt for Sting, good stuff. Douglas winning was the obvious call. Interesting there to pair up Konnan & BG. Surprised JJ won without interference. Good main event, solid show.

Liked the opening segment to Nitro, intrigued to see what Sting has in store for the seven. Flair/Sting shall be neat. Nice to see Tajiri in here and a nice win for him, hopefully a Cruiserweight Title push is in store and a nice little mini feud with Cash & Knoble. Nice Booker promo to kick off the Douglas feud. Canadian tag team champions, I loved that Storm gimmick. Nice little win for Storm and I hope to see a Canadian Rules match sometime down the line. Nice Cruiserweight title match there, kinda wish this and the Tajiri match switched positions in the card though, nothing major. Good Steiner segment, I'm looking forward to seeing who you have him feud with next. Main event was good, loved the Mag Seven segment before hand. Expected some Douglas interference or continuance of the Booker feud. Nice first defense for Jarrett. Good stuff.

- May 17, 2001, PREVIEW
WCW Thunder is back for another week of high impact action, exclusively on TBS! In this weeks main event, The United States Champion, Jeff Jarrett teams up with Curt Hennig and "The Franchise" Shane Douglas to take on Booker T, and The Road Warriors in your Thunder main event!
David Flair has been booked to compete by his father, the WCW CEO, Ric Flair, in a match against Buff Bagwell and Lex Luger, Totally Buff, in a Handicap Match. The odds are certainly stacked against David, but when you've been trained by The Nature Boy, who knows what will happen?
Yoshihiro Tajiri had a successful WCW debut this past week on Monday Nitro when he beat Cash in singles action. This week on Thunder, Tajiri takes on Cash's tag team partner, Jamie Knoble in a match that will prove to be a delight to watch.
Rey Misterio, Jr. and Billy Kidman of The Filthy Animals will take to the ring in a cruiserweight tag team match as they take on Yang and Kaz Hayashi of The Jung Dragons!
After his girlfriend, Daffney turned on him at Slamboree, nobody has seen or heard from Crowbar. But this Thursday night on Thunder, Crowbar is scheduled to take on Vampiro in a Hardcore Match! Both men are known for their wins in Hardcore Matches, especially Crowbar. This one will be an all-out war!
Plus, Mike Tenay will have Part Two of his sitdown interview with Daffney!
All this and much more on Thursday's Thunder, exclusively on TBS!

[/b][/color] and Shane Douglas (w/ Torrie Wilson)[/b]. - We closed the show with a tremendous six person tag team contest that was filled with star power, and was just a great contest. Shane Douglas and Booker T worked well together, and it will be great when they finally clash one on one. Hennig was taken out with a Doomsday Device, but Douglas and Jarrett took care of The Road Warriors. Douglas and Jarrett got into an argument which lead to Douglas nailing Jarrett. Booker tossed Douglas out and pinned Jarrett after an Axe Kick.
Douglas stormed up the ramp with Torrie Wilson as Curt Hennig helped Jarrett to his feet. Booker T celebrates with The Road Warriors to close the show.[/font][/quote]

WCW Slamboree...May 13 2001...Solid way to kick off the event, with Chavo Guerrero, Jr beating Shane Helms and Rey Misterio, Jr to win the WCW World Cruiserweight Championship. Guess Helms' reign had to end eventually. Just hope you don't end up getting him lost in the cruiserweight division, hopefully you'll push him out of that particular division. Filler hardcore match, was the Playstation 2 even out in May 2001? Hah. Hopefully Bam Bam Bigelow will get pushed also, rather than being wasted with undercard workers by the likes of Crowbar. Good WCW Cruiserweight Tag Team Championship defense by Elix Skipper and Kid Romeo beating Air Raid. I think you should begin building Air Styles and Air Paris up, maybe they could be a credible team by September time. Solid six-man tag team match, BG James being the Filthy Animals' teammate is realistic, I could see that happening. Konnan and James could be an addition to the tag team division. Good that they beat Three Count. Seemed entertaining. Shame that Booker T went from challenging for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship, down to losing the WCW US Heavyweight Championship to Jeff Jarrett. Both men should be in the main event picture, give the US Heavyweight Championship to somebody more mid-carder like, give somebody else an opportunity. Solid WCW World Tag Team Championship match, Lance Storm and Mike Awesome winning the belts is good, but hopefully they don't hold onto them for an excessive amount of time. Solid defense of the WCW World Heavyweight Championship by Scott Steiner, against Sting. Just wish Steiner's reign would of finally ended here. Hah, wonder what happened to that tag team match.
WCW Monday Nitro...14th May 2001...The promo was a decent way to start off this edition of Nitro, as Ric Flair gloated about the Magnificent Seven. Sting coming out is an interesting addition, I'd like those two to fight at Great American Bash. They were meant to, back at Great American Bash 1991, but Flair left for WWF. Could have an interesting feud, dating back to them. Yoshihiro Tajiri in WCW is nice, but really he'd debut on Thursday Thunder. Nontheless, good opening match, the debuting Tajiri overcoming Cash. Haha, WCW Canadian Tag Team Championships. Liked that the Misfits In Action tried to overthrow Lance Storm and Mike Awesome, only to no avail. Odd gimmick with Daffney. Seems like she's talking about David Flair or Crowbar. Good WCW World Cruiserweight Championship rematch by Chavo Guerrero, Jr, as he beat Shane Helms. Shane Douglas beating MI Smooth is no big deal. Good that Konnan and BG James teamed to beat the returning Boogie Knights. Solid main event with Jeff Jarrett successfully retaining the WCW US Heavyweight Championship from Booker T. Good show.
WCW Thursday Thunder...Solid way to kick off with cruiserweight tag team action. Rey Misterio, Jr and Billy Kidman should end up feuding and then that'd get both men over and involved. I'd enjoy that, rather than seeing both men being swandled in the cruiserweight tag team division, beating Jung Dragons time after time. Vampiro beating Crowbar in a hardcore match is good, but wouldn't be a bloody battle, by WCW's rate. Hmm, James Storm joining Mr Harris I'm unsure of, but interesting concept. Just don't like the sound of a four man faction so unalike, like a Texan millionaire, two pop singers, and a directing manager. Decent match to continue Yoshihiro Tajiri's overness, beating Cash's partner Jamie Knoble. Nothing too big. The handicap match was a way to kill David Flair. Well done! Solid six-man tag team main event.

Fine opening match, glad Rey's team won. I think every now and then you shouldn't start out with the cruisers because it gets way too repetitive. Hardcore match was fine, it's always a nice change of pace. Liked the segment involving the CD. Bringing in James Storm is interesting, especially as a millionaire cowboy. Good win for Tajiri. Heh, nice handicap match that destroyed David Flair. Good main event, wish the heel team had won but oh well.

Nice opening contest to get the action rolling on a high note. The Daffney promo was insane and helped develop her character well. I love that David Flair push. Vampiro winning makes sense as I feel he is the better talent. I love that you brought in James Storm. Yoshihiro Tajiri winning was the right call. Totally Buff winning was obvious, but I am happy to see David put up a fight. Solid main event and I enjoyed the ending, Overall, a solid show.

[/size], Scott Steiner (w/ Midajah) def. Crowbar. - Crowbar hasn't been himself ever since Daffney turned on him at Slamboree, but tonight he put up one hell of a fight against the WCW World Heavyweight Champion, which surprised everyone, especially Steiner. Although Crowbar put up a fight, the sheer strength of Steiner was too much for Crowbar, and it wasn't long into the match when Steiner hit a T-Bone from the top rope and then locked in the Steiner Recleiner and Crowbar passed out.
Scott Steiner raises the WCW World Heavyweight Championship above him as Midajah yells at Crowbar.
* Jeff Jarrett was shown pacing around The Magnificent Seven's locker room with his WCW United States Championship around his waist. Jarrett is complaining about Booker T wanting another shot at the WCW United States Championship, when Jarrett beat him TWICE. Jarrett goes on and on before Ric Flair yells at him to shut up. Flair tells him that he doesn't have time to listen to his bullsh*t because tonight he's facing his son in the Nitro main event. Jarrett tells Flair to calm down. Flair slams his hand onto his desk and tells Jarrett never to tell him to calm down again. There's a brief staredown between Flair and Jarrett as Rick Steiner, Lex Luger, Buff Bagwell and Curt Hennig sit in silence. Ric eventually tells Jarrett that he's sorry before he leaves the room.
* Falls Count Anywhere: Ric Flair[/color] def. David Flair (Stoppage). - I'm sure that the majority of the wrestling world are confused as to this main eventing Nitro, but it's nice to see something other than a tag team match featuring The Magnificent Seven and Booker T. Also, this match has been brewing for the past few weeks. Ric didn't want to hit David at first, but when David wasn't afraid to hit Ric, Ric just attacked David and really beat him down. When Ric Flair positioned David's head between the stairs and then kicked the stairs, the crowd just piled the heat onto Ric. Ric Flair's wife came running from the "nosebleeds" and grabbed a towel from David Penzer before handing it to the referee for David Flair. The referee rung the bell and declared Ric Flair the winner.
Ric Flair strutted around the ringside area as his wife and the referee attended to David. His wife's eyes were filled with tears as she screams at Ric, who is strutting up the ramp now. Booker T, Stevie Ray and The Road Warriors run down the ramp to help out with David as Nitro comes to a close[/font][/quote]

Solid opening segment and the 10 Cruiserweight Gauntlet at The Great American Bash should be solid. Solid opening segment, it was quite enjoyable. Tajiri segment was, I found it to be quite humorous. I like the Cat’s method of making matches using a bingo machine: amazing. Chavo going over AJ was the right decision, but I think AJ should eventually get a push. Trailer Park Cash’s segment was solid. Cruiserweight tag match was great and I am happy that Ikuto Hidaka and Shane Helms won. Nice Steiner segment to continue his rivalry with Sting. Daffney’s segment with Jones and Cat was insane and I liked it. Steiner picking up the win was good, nothing special. Main event sounded great and Ric Flair winning was great.

-Nice to see you stick with the Flairs in the main event -Cruiserweight Gauntlet should be good -lol at the Planet Charisma remark. Nice to see that Major Guns' team won -lmao at the Tajiri segment -Bingo Machine idea is great -Hate anytime that AJ Styles loses -TRAILER PARK CASH! -Figured that Helms and the Japanese dude would win, made more sense -As I told you before, that Daffney segment is pure gold -Nice to see Crowbar put on a decent showing, but obvious to have Steiner go over -Backstage M7 stuff was good -Love that Ric wasn't going to hit him, then just went on a rampage. Especially loved the post-match strut
Excellent Nitro, one of your bests for sure

Decent opening promo to kick off WCW Monday Nitro, with The Cat announcing matches for Great American Bash. Like the idea of the ten man cruiserweight battlebowl-style tournament, to advance to the final at the Great American Bash. Got to say, though, wish this promo had been saved for another point in the evening, as it is a slightly weak way to start off, but when other time could you have the opportunity, eh. Haha, Planet Charisma comment. MIA picking up the win over Kwee-Wee and Lenny Lane is an okay way to start things off. Major Gunns taking off her top was fun. Haha, Yoshihiro Tajiri in the backstage area. Ikuto Hidaka? Can't say I've heard of him, really. Awesome win for Chavo Guerrero, Jr over the young Air Styles, here. Liked Scott Norton attacking Chavo, also. Shane Helms and Ikuto Hidaka overcoming Cash and Jason Jett is fine. Nice win for Scott Steiner over Crowbar, hate to see Crowbar wasted since Slamboree, though. Nice segment in the Magnificent Seven's office. Tension in the troops. Violent way to close down the show with Ric Flair beating David Flair. Liked Flair strutting whilst his wife and numerous others helped David out. Nice way to kill of David, now would be the best time. Decent show overall.

[/color] def. Jason Jett. - Two of WCW's finest cruiserweights kicked things off tonight, in what was Ikuto's singles debut. Jett worked over the arm of Ikuto, but Ikuto refused to give up. Hidaka took home the victory when he nailed an awesome Standing Shiranui.
Hidaka drops to his knees afterwards before the official raises his hand. Ikuto slaps a few fans' hands at ringside before making his way up the ramp as we cut backstage.
* The Cat was in his office with Ms. Jones, and they had the bingo machine, just like Nitro. Ms. Jones rolled the machine before taking out one ball. The name was Billy Kidman of The Filthy Animals! The second name, and his partner, was one half of the WCW Cruiserweight Tag Team Champions, Kid Romeo! The third name was Lenny Lane, and the fourth was Shannon Moore.
* BG James[/color] and Konnan (w/ Tygress)[/b] def. Big Vito[/color] and Johnny Stamboli[/color]. - BG James and Konan of The Filthy Animals took on Big Vito and Johnny Stamboli of The Mamalukes in a decent tag team match. BG and Konnan worked extremely well together, as did The Mamalukes. However, The Filthy Animals got the victory when BG nailed Vito with a Pumphandle Slam.
BG James, Konnan and Tygress celebrate with the fans at ringside as we cut to a commercial break.
* Backstage, Elix Skipper is shown with Kid Romeo, complaining about teaming with Billy Kidman. Kid Romeo tells Elix Skipper that there is no way in hell he's going to co-operate with Billy Kidman. Skipper tells Romeo that they should complain to The Cat. The pair storm down the hallway.
* Gene Okerlund was standing by backstage with Jeff Jarrett, who had his United States Championship around his waist, and his signature guitar in his hand. Jarrett hyped up his match with Hugh Morrus which is next!
* WCW United States Championship: WCW United States Champion, Jeff Jarrett[/color] def. Hugh Morrus (w/ Major Gunns). - Surprisingly, this was a tremendous singles match that went on for rougly eleven minutes. The crowd were solidly behind Morrus, and that helped keep Morrus in the match. However, the dirty tactics of Jarrett proved to much as he poked Morrus in the eyes before nailing the Stroke for the three count.
Jeff Jarrett snatches the U.S Championship from the referee before raising it above his head, and yelling at the crowd. He bends over at Morrus and yells at him as Major Gunns climbs into the ring. Morrus slowly gets to his feet as Jarrett sizes him up with the guitar. Major Gunns tries to stop him, but he shoves her down and then breaks the guitar over the head of Morrus.
* Ric Flair is shown strutting down the hallway as the crowd boo his presense, but the odd fan cheers him. Flair enters The Magnificent Seven locker and tells Lex Luger and Buff Bagwell that he reliases they haven't been repayed for their work with him, and that he apologises. Flair announces that in tonights main event, it will be Totally Buff taking on Team Canada and The Natural Born Thrillers in a three-way tag team match for the WCW World Tag Team Championships! Luger and Bagwell hug Flair before they rush out the room.
* Billy Kidman and WCW Cruiserweight Tag Team Champion, Kid Romeo (w/ Tygress and Elix Skipper) def. Shannon Moore and Lenny Lane (w/ Paisley)[/b]. - This was a so-so match, that didn't last too long. Billy Kidman and Kid Romeo couldn't co-operate as a team, which allowed Moore and Lane to take control several times. Billy Kidman was able to put the arguing aside and hit Lane with the Shooting Star Press. But Romeo wanted the pinfall, so he pulled Kidman off of Lane and nailed the Romeo Relaxer. He dragged Kidman to the corner and tagged himself in before covering Lane for the three.
Kid Romeo celebrates with Elix Skipper at ringside as Tygress looks pissed off. She checks on Kidman, who is holding his neck following the Romeo Relaxer.
* Gene Okerlund was standing by backstage with Lance Storm and Mike Awesome, the WCW World Tag Team Champions. They correct Gene and demand he call the belts the WCW Canadian Tag Team Championships. Gene refuses to do so which leads to Awesome grabbing Gene by the collar and Gene then calls them the WCW Canadian Tag Team Championships. Awesome puts Gene down and the duo head off before Gene calls them idiots.
* WCW Canadian Tag Team Championships: WCW Canadian Tag Team Champions, Lance Storm and Mike Awesome def. Buff Bagwell and Lex Luger, and Chuck Palumbo and Sean O'Haire. - This was an awesome way (no pun intended) to close the show. All three teams weren't able to make the cover because it would be quickly broken up. The end came when The Road Warriors came down the ramp and got into an argument with Totally Buff. Lance Storm dropkicked Luger out of the ring, and sent him down next to The Natural Born Thrillers, who were still reeling from being clocked with the title belts. Awesome quickly grabbed Bagwell and hit the Awesome Bomb for the three count.
Team Canada waste no time in celebrating with the belts on the ramp as Palumbo and O'Haire kick the steps in rage. Luger spits on Hawk, which leads to a brawl between The Road Warriors and Totally Buff. Curt Hennig comes running down the ramp with Ric Flair closely behind. The numbers game becomes too much, but when Sting and Booker T help out, The Magnificent Seven Four are sent packing. The Road Warriors hit Hennig with the Doomsday Device before taking Flair out with a Big Boot. Luger, Bagwell and Hennig stop Flair from getting back in the ring to close the show.[/font][/quote]
