WCW Monday Nitro: Monday 16th July 2001...Interesting dark match, Shelton Benjamin and Brock Lesnar competing eh? I'm interested in if the Minnesota Wrecking Crew get onto main television in the future. Good way to keep Sean O'Haire and Chuck Palumbo relevent. Nice opening promo, but I'm pretty confused why the WCW World Heavyweight Championship was made vacant. Eric Bischoff dominating authority in World Championship Wrestling is good. Just a quick mention for layout, I'd prefer without the quote box, personally. Great opening bout with the Filthy Animals beating Three Count. Shannon Moore and Evan Karagias I hope to remain relevent, though. Next, a nice idea for Miss WCW 2001 to take place following Pamela Paulshock winning Miss WCW 2000. Major Gunns winning came as no surprise, a nice collection of women in this competiton. Stacy Keibler attacking Major Gunns is fine, and can lead to more action. Chavo Guerrero Jr and Yoshihiro Tajiri at Mayhem sounds like a dandy idea. I like you having Mayhem in August. I hope for World War 3 to return to November. Vampiro and Malice sounds like a nice combination, and their group is very nice. I wonder if you grow to add Gangrel to the alliance though. Especially when I can't see Gangrel in WWF at this point. I am upset to see Hugh Morrus being used like this, though. Lash LeRoux...I don't care. Morrus needs to be treated better. Team Canada's promo was pretty nice, but The Cat's business with Lance Storm is slightly strange. The women dominating this segment's purpose put me off a little, though, since Storm and Mike Awesome are WCW Canadian Tag Team Champions. Lance Storm beating The Cat was predictable and didn't do much to be honest. Air Paris and Air Styles' match was useless, and Scott Steiner destroying both of them was amusing and realistic. Dustin Rhodes beating Curt Hennig is fine, no problem with this. The Magnificent Seven's involvement was slightly odd, though. I feel this should have occured as first hour main event. Or even main eventing, as that main event was strange. Shane Douglas winning the WCW US Heavyweight Championship from Jeff Jarrett is fine, sure, but main eventing Nitro I dislike. A good opportunity for them, though. A decent show overall, but a large step downwards after Bash at the Beach's success.

WCW Thursday Thunder: (- July 19 2001: Sunrise, Florida)
* The opening Thunder video plays before Mike Tenay and Mark Madden welcome us to the broadcast. They reveal that tonight's blockbuster main event will pit Dustin Rhodes against the man who lost the United States Championship just 72 hours ago, "The Chosen One" Jeff Jarrett!
* Shane Helms def. Sonny Siaki. - Sonny Siaki returns to action tonight in a solid cruiserweight contest that got the crowd rallied up. The crowd were totally behind Helms and Helms really had the crowd in the palm of his hand. Siaki goes for a leg drop from the top rope, but wastes too much time taunting the crowd, which allows Helms time to recover and jump to the top rope with Siaki and take him down with an armdrag. Helms then hits a Superkick to bring the contest to an end as he got the 1, 2, 3!
The referee raises Shane Helms' hand in victory, afterwards. Sonny Siaki rolls to the outside, favouring the back of his head as Helms continues to celebrate his win in the ring.
* COMMERCIAL BREAK ~
[/i][/size] * Gene Okerlund is standing at the interview set with Air Raid - Air Paris and Air Styles. The pair talk about how as of late they haven't been on the same page, with Styles saying that they haven't even been on the same book. The pair agree to put all that happened in the past and look towards the future. Air Raid say they're going to give it their all this week on WorldWide - and they are going to beat Scott and Rick in the centre of the ring. * Eric Bischoff is shown in his office, where Dustin Rhodes is. Eric tells Dustin that tonight in the main event, he wants Dustin to humiliate Jeff Jarrett infront of the World! Dustin says that he wants nothing more than to take the Magnificent Seven out, one by one! * KroniK (Brian Adams & Bryan Clarke)[/color] def. Chavo Guerrero, Jr. & Scott Norton[/color] . - Chavo Guerrero, Jr. spends the majority of the match on the apron, leaving Scott Norton to fight KroniK in what was pretty much a handicap match, with KroniK picking Norton apart. Norton did put up a fight, but with Chavo not showing any signs of helping Norton out, KroniK just worked over Norton as a team. Chavo went to save Norton, but received a huge clothesline from Clarke. Norton eventually tags out to Chavo, who attempts to take Clarke down with several clothesline, but they have no affect. Clarke pins Chavo following a Chokeslam. * COMMERCIAL BREAK ~[/i][/size] * The camera positions on the announce table, where Mark Madden and Mike Tenay remind us that WCW WorldWide will be returning to the air this Saturday night, the 21st, exclusively on TBS! They hype up appearances from The Steiner Brothers, Rick and Scott. * Gene Okerlund is backstage with the new United States Champion, "Franchise" Shane Douglas! Gene asks Shane how he has been celebrating his win. Douglas tells Gene that he has been partying for the past 3 nights (even although this show was taped the day after his title win) with Torrie Wilson. Douglas says that tonight, Curt Hennig of the Magnificent Seven can * WCW United States Champion, Shane Douglas[/color] def. Curt Hennig in a non-title contest. - The first hour main event saw the new United States Champion, Shane Douglas square off against Curt Hennig in a non-title match. Both men put on a fantastic showing, that was easily the match of the night. Hennig looked to finish Douglas off with the Hennig-Plex, but Douglas countered and hit the Pittsburgh Plunge to seal the win. The referee hands Shane Douglas his U.S Title and he raises it above himself as the camera focuses on Curt Hennig, who is dazed and confused. The camera cuts back to Douglas, who is already heading up the ramp to the back. * We see a pair of legs, and the camera moves up, before fully revealing Major Gunns, with her crown and sash. She is stretching for the ladies tag match - which is coming up next! * COMMERCIAL BREAK ~[/i][/size] * Alexis Laree, Major Gunns, Torrie Wilson, Tygress & Madusa[/color] def. Stacey Keibler, Dawn Marie, Midajah, Daffney & Melissa Coates[/color]. - This, as expected, was a complete and utter trainwreck of a contest. The more talented workers, Alexis, Madusa, Daffney and Dawn Marie, spent the majority of the contest in the ring, while the other girls spent only a minute or two in the ring each. Madusa seemed frustrated with something and she stormed to the back mid-match, leaving her team a women down. Despite the numbers advantage, the heels still failed to get the win as Alexis pinned Dawn with a DDT. The babyfaces celebrated in the ring, while the heels had to try and restrain Dawn Marie from attacking Alexis Laree. * COMMERCIAL BREAK ~[/i][/size] * Gene Okerlund is at the interview area with Christopher Nowinski, Daffney, Vampiro and Malice. Okerlund tells us that tonight, Daffney's team might not have been victorious tonight, but he is going to redeem Daffney's loss, with a win over Bam Bam Bigelow. The stable go to walk off before they all stop. Nowinski tells Malice and Vampiro to stay in the back, because he's going to prove he doesn't need their help to win a match. * Bam Bam Bigelow def. Christopher Nowinski (w/ Daffney). - Nowinski offers Bigelow a handshake prior to the bell ringing, but instead he cheapshots Bigelow and somehow shoves him to the ground. Nowinski punches away at Bigelow before posing for the crowd, much to the delight of the insane Daffney. Bigelow gets to his feet and drops Nowinski with a right hand shot, and Nowinski rolls under the bottom rope to the mats outside, where he recruits with Daffney. Bigelow leans over the ropes and pulls Nowinski onto the apron by the hair and flips him over the top rope and into the ring. Bigelow continues to dominate the contest before attempting to put Nowinski away with the Greetings From Asbury Park, but Daffney got into the ring. Instead, Bigelow stacked Daffney on-top of Nowinski and hit a double Greetings From Asbury Park to get the win! Bam Bam Bigelow is celebratings his win over Christopher Nowinski in the ring, as Nowinski and Daffney lie lifeless in the ring. Vampiro comes running down the ramp with a steelchair, and he slides into the ring, sizing up Bigelow with the chair. He runs at Bigelow with the chair, but Bigelow kicks Vampiro in the gut, takes the chair and blasts Vampiro with it. Malice comes through the crowd and slides into the ring behind Bigelow. He clobbers him over the back of the head with a steel chain-wrapped fist. Malice puts the boots to Bigelow, before Vampiro, Nowinski and Daffney all join in. They all pick Bigelow up and Malice hits a Chokeslam. The stable all stand tall in the ring, above the fallen Bam Bam Bigelow. * COMMERCIAL BREAK ~[/i][/size] * Bam Bam Bigelow is shown walking through the curtains when we return from the commercial. Gene Okerlund rushes up to Bam Bam, asking him about the attack on him just prior to the commercial. Bam Bam grabs the microphone from Gene and yells into it that Nowinski, Malice, Vampiro and Daffney have messed with the wrong badass. Bam Bam warns them that when he is finished with them, they will all be in rehab again for an addiction to painkillers. * WCW Cruiserweight Tag Team Champion, Rey Misterio, Jr. (w/ Tygress) def. Ikuto Hidaka. - The match starts off with fast, before it slows down and both men chain wrestle. Rey locks Ikuto in a headlock, but Ikuto shoves Rey off him and takes him down with a dropkick. Ikuto goes for a cover, but is only able to get a two count. Both men go for a series of pin attempts, but neither of them are able to get the three count. Rey takes Ikuto down with a crucifix pin and when both men get to their feet, Ikuto attempts a huge kick to the temple of Rey, but Rey ducks and drop toe-holds Ikuto and then springboards off the ropes. When Ikuto gets to his feet, Rey is in the air and he flys straight to Ikuto, hitting a Tornado DDT and it was enough to get the three! Tygress gets Rey's tag belt from ringside and climbs into the ring, where she hands Rey the belt. The referee raises Rey's left arm, while Tygress raises his right and Rey has the tag title around his neck. Rey helps Ikuto up to his feet and the pair embrace. * Dustin Rhodes is shown warming up for his main event match. * COMMERCIAL BREAK ~[/i][/size] * Gene Okerlund is backstage with Jeff Jarrett, who has Rick Steiner with him. Jarrett says that although he is no longer the U.S Champion, everyone knows that Jeff Jarrett is the true U.S Champion. Jarrett says that Dustin Rhodes is the unlucky guy who will feel the Stroke tonight! * Dustin Rhodes def. Jeff Jarrett via Disqualification. - Both Jeff and Dustin have a fun, back and forth contest to close down Thunder this week. Jarrett had control in the early going of the contest, before Dustin took control after a hip tossing Jarrett out of nowhere. Dustin Rhodes gets stomped all over by Jarrett and Rick. After a few minutes, Ric Flair comes down the ramp and he joins in on the attack. Dusty Rhodes makes his return to WCW TV by taking Jeff down with a right hand. He takes Ric Flair down, but Jarrett takes Dusty down. Booker T makes the save, and the Rhodes' and Booker send Rick, Jarrett and Flair to the back.[/blockquote][/font]

WCW WorldWide: (- July 21 2001: Sunrise, Florida)
* The opening WorldWide video begins to play before we cut to the arena, and Scott Hudson and Mike Tenay welcome us to WCW WorldWide, exclusively on TBS and Channel Five!
* WCW Cruiserweight Tag Team Champions, Rey Misterio, Jr. and Billy Kidman (w/ Tygress) def. Yun Yang and Kaz Hayashi (w/ Leia Meow). - Leia Meow makes her return to TV after taking months off for family issues. Even Leia's presence can't guide The Jung Dragons to victory as The Filthy Animals take home the win when Kidman pins Hayashi following a Shooting Star Press.
Tygress celebrates with Rey, Jr. and Billy Kidman as Leia Meow yells at Yun Yang and Kaz Hayashi for their loss. She begins to repeatedly whip the pair with her whip.
* A video airs, recapping what went down this past week on Nitro.
* COMMERCIAL BREAK ~
[/i][/size] * When we return, Mike Tenay and Scott Hudson tell us that WCW is coming to Long Beach, California this Monday and Tuesday with WCW Nitro, Thunder and WorldWide! Tickets are still available for the Thunder and WorldWide tapings, but Nitro is totally sold out! * Pamela Paulshock is backstage with Air Raid, Air Paris and Air Styles. She asks the pair how they're feeling after Scott Steiner's attack on Nitro. The pair say that they've had to take 5 days off the road (when in reality this was taped the day after Nitro) and now they're ready to get the biggest win of their career over The Steiner Brothers. Pamela wishes them the best of luck before sending us back to ringside. * Bam Bam Bigelow def. Vampiro[/color] (w/ Daffney). - This was a really good match that stemmed from Bigelow's confrontation with Vampiro, Christopher Nowinski, Malice and Daffney on Thunder - even although this was taped prior to the Thunder taping. Bigelow remained dominant throughout, although there was the odd part of the match were Vampiro would be in control. Bigelow looked to hit a running powerslam on Vampiro, but Vampiro slipped down Bigelow's back and Bigelow ran into the corner, stomach first. Vampiro then hit a staggering Bigelow with a backcracker, but he only got a two count. Vampiro went for a powerbomb, but Bigelow flipped him over and when Vampiro got to his feet, Bigelow hit the Greetings From Asbury Park to get the 1, 2, 3. The referee raises Bigelow's hand as Daffney kicks the steel steps at ringside in anger. Bigelow begins to make his way to the back, slapping the hands of the fans at ringside, as Daffney slides into the ring and checks on Vampiro. * COMMERCIAL BREAK ~[/i][/size] * Pamela Paulshock is backstage with Scott Steiner, Rick Steiner and Midajah. Scott Steiner says that Eric Bischoff thinks that by putting him and his brother in a match with two nobodies that they can make a name for themselves by trying to beat the greatest tag team of all-time - the Steiner Brothers. Scott says that him and his brother are going to wipe the floor with 'Air Rome' and 'Air Size'. * We recap what happened this past week on Thunder. * Scott Steiner and Rick Steiner[/color] (w/ Midajah) def. Air Paris and Air Styles[/color]. - Air Raid and The Steiner Brothers had a really good match here, with Air Raid working on the legs of Scott. Rick goes for his Toprope Bulldog but Styles gets out of the way and hits Springboard Moonsault, only able to get a 2 count. The crowd really got behind Air Raid and when Air Paris went for a Sunset Flip on Scott the crowd where on their feet. Scott didn't go down and instead grabbed Paris by the throat and pulled him up to his feet. Scott Gorilla Press Slammed Paris onto Styles before locking Paris in the Steiner Recleiner and it was all she wrote. Mike Tenay and Scott Hudson talk about how close Air Raid came to winning as Midajah applauds Scott. She gets into the ring Air Styles crawls over to check on Air Paris when Scott boots him on the head. Midajah spits on Styles as the Steiner Brothers pose to close out the show.[/font][/blockquote]

- July 23 2001 With speculation mounting within World Championship Wrestling as to how we will crown a champion of the now vacant WCW World Championship, WCW.com has learned from Eric Bischoff that in tonights Nitro main event, "Big Poppa Pump" Scott Steiner will take on Goldberg! A win for Goldberg or Steiner will certainly let WCW management know that they deserve to be in the running for the WCW World Title, whenever it's decided we will crown a new champion.
In other news, WCW.com has learned that Chavo Guerrero, Jr. will team with The Jung Dragons, Yun Yang and Kaz Hayashi, to take on the team of the WCW Cruiserweight Champion, Yoshihiro Tajiri and Air Paris and Air Styles, collectively known as Air Raid. Curt Hennig of the Magnificent Seven will also face off against Bam Bam Bigelow in singles action. All this and more, only on Monday Nitro!

WCW Monday Nitro: (- July 23 2001: Long Beach, California)

* Chavo Guerrero, Jr., Yun Yang and Kaz Hayashi (w/ Leia Meow and Scott Norton) def. WCW Cruiserweight Champion, Yoshihiro Tajiri, Air Paris and Air Styles. - The show gets underway with a fast-paced, high-flying six person tag team contest. All six men get the crowd hyped for the rest of the show, with this tremendous contest. Chavo Guerrero, Jr. is able to get the win for his team, but not cleanly. Leia Meow distracted the referee, and Scott Norton slid into the ring and took Tajiri down with a vicious clothesline. Chavo then picked up a dazed Tajiri and hit a Brainbuster for the win.
Chavo Guerrero celebrates like he just won the World Title. He gets in the face of Tajiri as Scott Norton stands behind Guerrero. Chavo cockily swaggers up the ramp.
* COMMERCIAL BREAK ~
[/i][/size] * Pamela Paulshock is shown in the back with KroniK, Brian Adams and Bryan Clarke. The pair say that it's about damn time they get a tag title shot, and if WCW management and Eric Bischoff don't give them a title shot, they will have no choice but to make them give KroniK a title shot. * Angel Williams is shown sitting in the front row, and she doesn't look happy. Scott Hudson and Tony Schiavone talk about how Angel got banned from getting backstage with Team Canada since she isn't under contract. * WCW Canadian Tag Team Champion, Lance Storm (w/ Mike Awesome and Melissa Coates) def. MI Smooth[/color]. - A surprisingly decent contest here from MI Smooth and the leader of Team Canada, Lance Storm. Smooth isn't the most over guy on the roster, but he does alright getting the crowd into the contest. Smooth went for a Powerslam, but Storm was able to counter it and in the end he blasted Smooth with a vicious Superkick to get the victory. Lance Storm, Mike Awesome and Melissa Coates interact with Angel Williams at ringside before they all enter the ring, without Angel, who is still behind the guardrail. Mike Awesome picks MI Smooth up and hits an Awesome Bomb. The music of KroniK hits and Bryan Clarke and Brian Adams come running down the ramp. KroniK and Team Canada get into a brawl, which ends with KroniK sending Storm and Awesome packing. KroniK tease going to hit Melissa with the High Times, but Storm and Awesome pull Melissa out of the ring by her feet, much to the disappointment of the crowd. Team Canada head up the ramp, absolutely furious, as KroniK work the crowd with MI Smooth, who is dancing. * COMMERCIAL BREAK ~[/i][/size] * We see the Queen of WCW, Major Gunns at the catering table backstage with her crown on her head. She is taking food off the dessert table and putting it on her plate when Stacey Keibler storms up to her. Stacey stops Major Gunns taking any food and calls her a fat pig. Major Gunns throws her plate in Stacey's face, to which Stacey slaps Major Gunns. The pair have a food fight, and begin rolling around on the cakes and desserts, slamming each of their heads off the top. The pair roll off the table and onto the floor, still trying to rip each other's heads off. Mark Jindrak, Shawn Stasiak and MI Smooth pull the pair off of each other, but they continue to try and kick each other, but instead they kick nothing but air as they scream at each other. * Pamela Paulshock is backstage with Curt Hennig of the Magnificent Seven. Curt Hennig says that someone as fat as Bam Bam Bigelow stands no chance against someone as perfect as Curt Hennig. Fact! * Dawn Marie is shown backstage in her wrestling gear, and he she looks furious. She is complaining about Alexis Laree pinning her on Thunder. Dawn begins to walk down the hallway and the camera follows her. We see Alexis Laree standing on her cellphone. Dawn snatches the phone from her and hangs up Alexis' call. The pair get into a shoving match before Dawn tells her to get ready for their match. Dawn and Totally Buff against Alexis and.. Dawn grabs a random passerby and says that's Alexis' partner. The passerby looked to be Christian York of ECW fame. * COMMERCIAL BREAK ~[/i][/size] * Totally Buff (Lex Luger and Buff Bagwell) & Dawn Marie[/color] def. Christian York & Alexis Laree. - Totally Buff and Dawn just toy around with Alexis and York, who was wearing his street clothes. Dawn almost loses the match when Alexis rolls her up but Bagwell kicks Alexis' ribs, which effectively breaks up the count. Luger puts York in the Torture Rack and he taps. Post-match, the trio go to attack Alexis when an unknown man sprints to the ring and fights Totally Buff as Dawn screams at him. He dropkicks Luger out of the ring and York clotheslines Bagwell out of the ring. Dawn Marie jumps on the unknown mans back but he grabs her by the hair and flips her over his back. When she gets to her feet, Alexis dropkicks her and Dawn rolls out of the ring. * COMMERCIAL BREAK ~[/i][/size] * Pamela Paulshock is standing backstage at the interview set with Christian York, Alexis Laree and the unknown man who debuted moments ago. He introduces himself as Joey Matthews, he says that he got invited to Nitro tonight with Christian for a try-out match as a tag team. Matthews says that Totally Buff thought they could toy around with York and Laree, but they clearly fought wrong, and because York got put in the handicap match, their try-out match got called off. * Bam Bam Bigelow def. Curt Hennig. - This was a solid contest that the crowd really seemed to enjoy. Hennig and Bigelow battled the entire contest back and forward before Hennig went for the Hennig-Plex. He couldn't lift Bigelow, and Bigelow instead hit Hennig with a suplex. Bigelow then finished Hennig off with the Greetings From Asbury Park. The referee raises Bigelow's hand afterwards as the camera focuses on a clearly frustrated, and dazed, Curt Hennig. Bigelow continues to celebrate his win before we cut to a commercial break. * COMMERCIAL BREAK ~[/i][/size] * Eric Bischoff is backstage in his office. Scott Steiner storms into the room, with his number one freak, Midajah tagging along. Steiner demands that Eric give him his WCW World Title right now. Eric tells Scott that the title is vacant and there will be a tournament to determine who exactly will win the title. Steiner tells Eric that he doesn't like the sound of that, and so Eric has until Thunder this Thursday night to give him back his World Title, or he will be going through the WCW lockerroom, one by one.. * Goldberg def. Scott Steiner (w/ Midajah)[/b]. - PPV caliber way to close down the show tonight with a hard-hitting battle between "Big Poppa Pump" Scott Steiner and Goldberg. Both men battle the entire contest back and forth, the pair of them slugging it out. Midajah slides the lead pipe into the ring, but it's Goldberg who gets it and he goes to attack Steiner with it, but the referee stops him. Steiner low blows Goldberg and then hits a belly to belly. He goes to lock in the Steiner Recleiner when Booker T comes running to the ring. Steiner gets distracted and when he turns around, Goldberg hits the Spear to get the 1, 2, 3! The referee raises Goldberg's hand in victory following the contest as Scott Steiner rolls under the bottom rope, where Midajah is standing. Booker T and Goldberg celebrate in the ring as Scott Steiner, along with Midajah, scurries away to the back.[/font][/blockquote]

WCW Thursday Thunder: (- July 26 2001: Long Beach, California)
* The opening Thunder video rolls before we cut to the arena. Mike Tenay and Mark Madden welcome us to the broadcast. The camera scans the arena for a few moments before we cut to the ring, where Dave Penzer is waiting to introduce the first contest.
* Chavo Guerrero, Jr. (w/ Scott Norton) def. Shane Helms. - Solid way to kick the show off tonight, with back-and-forth cruiserweight action from the moment the bell went. These two are no strangers to each other, as they have wrestled countless times in the past. Helms went for the Vertebreaker, but Chavo was able to block it and shove Helms off the ropes. Chavo distracted the referee, while Scott Norton attemtped to interfere. Helms ducked Norton's attack, and then dropkicked Norton out of the ring. Helms turned around, only to be met with a Superkick from Chavo, which was enough for the 3 count.
Chavo, Jr. demands that the referee raise his hand, afterwards. Chavo gloats about his win, along with Norton.
* COMMERCIAL BREAK ~
[/size][/i] * Gene Okerlund is standing by in the backstage area, and he is with Dawn Marie and Melissa Coates. The pair talk about their tag team match against Alexis Laree and Madusa, which is scheduled for tonight. They seem confident that they will prevail victorious. * Ikuto Hidaka is shown backstage at a vending machine, and he appears to be trying to get something from the machine, but he can't work the machine. James Storm and Chris Harris swagger up to Ikuto and begin to make fun of his ethnicity. They shove him a few times, but he doesn't retaliate. Bam Bam Bigelow comes charging into the camera range and Harris and Storm back away. He tells them that if they wanna pick on someone, why don't they do it in the ring. Bigelow and Hidaka against Harris and Storm. The cocky duo of Harris and Storm tell Bigelow that him and Hidaka are on, and that they are no match to them. It seems that WCW are branching Storm and Harris away from 3 Count after several months of being inactive. * Dawn Marie and Melissa Coates def. Alexis Laree and Madusa. - A decent ladies tag here, from 4 of the best women workers in WCW. Dawn and Alexis really went at it tonight, with Alexis seeking revenge after what went down on Nitro this past Monday night. Madusa got a nice response tonight, as she hasn't really been featured on TV much lately. Alexis hit Dawn with a Tornado DDT and made the cover, without reliasing that Coates was the legal woman. Coates grabbed Alexis by the hair and hit a Chokeslam to get the win for her team. Dawn Marie rolled out of the ring and began to taunt Alexis and Madusa from the ramp, as Melissa Coates followed Dawn up the ramp. Madusa checked on Alexis, as Dawn and Melissa share a high-five on the ramp. * COMMERCIAL BREAK ~[/size][/i] The music of Scott Steiner begins to ring throughout the arena. Steiner emerges from the back, with Midajah following him down the ramp. Steiner gets into the ring and takes a microphone. He tells Eric Bischoff that on Nitro he told him that he has until tonight to present him with the World Title or someone would be getting destroyed. Steiner tells Eric to get out here and give him his World Title. Eric doesn't appear, but instead it's Jason Jett who comes out from the back. Jett tells Steiner that nobody wants to listen to him rattle on, and that it's time for Jason Jett to shine! Jett sprints to the ring, and immediantly fires away at Steiner with a series of kicks and punches. * Scott Steiner (w/ Midajah) def. Jason Jett. - Jason Jett really didn't stand a chance out there tonight, as Scott Steiner done what he promised to on Nitro, and that was destroy whoever got in his way until he got "his" World Title back. Jett sold Steiner's attack really well, and looked lifeless throughout the majority of the contest. Steiner hit a T-Bone Suplex before then locking in the Steiner Recleiner, which Jett passed out in. The referee rung the bell, but Scott didn't break the hold. Midajah got a lead pipe from under the ring and got into the ring. She handed the pipe to Steiner, who put the pipe on Jett's throat, and kept the Steiner Recleiner synched in. Eventually, Steiner released the hold. The referee attempted to check on the condition of Jett, but Steiner attacked the referee. Steiner takes the microphone and tells Eric Bischoff that this is what is going to happen to anyone who gets in Big Poppa Pump's way. * COMMERCIAL BREAK ~[/size][/i] * Ric Flair is backstage in his wrestling gear and a Mayhem top. Behind him are Rick Steiner and Curt Hennig, and beside him is Gene Okerlund. Flair tells Okerlund that tonight, him, Rick and Hennig are going to teach Booker T, Dustin and "Fatty" a lesson and prove to them that the Magnificent Seven are the most dominant faction in professional wrestling today. * The United States Champion, Shane Douglas is backstage, along with his valet, Torrie Wilson. Douglas says that he just got word that next week, Dustin Rhodes will take on Rick Steiner to settle their differences, and the winner will go on to face Douglas for the U.S Title at Mayhem. Douglas says that neither Rhodes or Steiner have earned the right to challenge him for the United States Title. * Bam Bam Bigelow and Ikuto Hidaka def. Chris Harris and James Storm. - This was a really fun tag team match, with some comedic spots here and there. The team of Bigelow and Ikuto, who have a huge height and weight difference, made for an odd team, but their different styles seemed to mesh together really well. Bigelow hit Storm with the Greeting's From Asbury Park, but instead of going for the cover, he tagged in Ikuto. Ikuto climbed to the top rope and stood on Bigelow's shoulders. He then used Bigelow as a launch pad, as he dived off Bigelow and hit a Splash for the win! Ikuto and Bigelow celebrate their win at ringside as Harris and Storm argue in the ring about their loss. * COMMERCIAL BREAK ~[/size][/i] * Hugh Morrus def. Kwee-Wee (w/ Paisley). - Kwee-Wee scares Morrus away in the early going with his bizarre antics. Eventually, Morrus overcomes his fear of Kwee-Wee and he takes him down with a series of shots to the head. Morrus dominates the majority of the contest, with Kwee-Wee getting some offence in on Morrus. Kwee-Wee goes for the Piledriver, but Morrus flips him over. Paisley hops onto the apron and distracts Morrus. Kwee-Wee attempts to attack Morrus from behind, but Morrus dodges him, and Kwee-Wee almost collides with Paisley, but he is just able to stop himself. Morrus turns him around and hits a Samoan Drop to get the pinfall. Hugh Morrus gets his hand raised following the pinfall. Paisley can't believe that Kwee-Wee lost. Morrus heads up the ramp as the announcers let us know that our huge six-man tag main event is up next! * COMMERCIAL BREAK ~[/size][/i] * Mike Tenay and Mark Madden tell us that WCWGear.com has added some great new merchandise today - including a brand new Magnificent Seven jersey!

The Magnificent Seven have control in the early going, repeatedly tagging each other in and out to stay fresh, just working over Dusty Rhodes. Eventually, Dusty was able to take Ric Flair down and then tag in Booker T, who cleared the ring of everyone. Booker hit the Scissor Kick on Flair, but Rick Steiner made the save. Dustin Rhodes then took Rick Steiner down. Curt Hennig came into the ring and went for a clothesline, but Booker ducked it and hit the BookEnd.

Above: "Big Sexy" Kevin Nash takes the fight to Scott Steiner inside the ring Outside The Ropes: "Big Sexy" Kevin Nash[/b] July 28, 2001 2:19PM ET[/color] It was February 18, 2001 at SuperBrawl Revenge (SuperBrawl Revenge Results and Digitals), live on pay-per-view from the Nashville Municipal Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee, in-front of a sold out crowd, that Kevin Nash was left bloodied and battered at the hands of the World Champion at the time, "Big Poppa Pump" Scott Steiner. In a gruelling Two out of Three Falls match, Steiner was able to retain his belt against Kevin Nash, and put Kevin Nash on the sidelines for atleast a few months, while he, and his Magnificent Seven counterparts continued to wreak havoc upon the rest of the WCW roster. Now, 5 months after being put on the sidelines by Scott Steiner, Kevin Nash allowed WCW.com reporters into his home for a sitdown interview, exclusively for WCW.com, and all his fans across the globe. Nash told reporter "Ever since Scott [Steiner] sidelined me at SuperBrawl Revenge, I've been training everyday, just waiting on the day that I am ready to return to a WCW ring". Above: Kevin Nash is a former 5-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion When asked about how close he thinks he is returning, Nash revealed: "I had a meeting [with WCW management and the doctors] and I've been told to take it easy, and not try rush myself back into the ring. If I could, I would be back right now.. BUT I've been advised by the doctor that it is best I take a few more weeks, maybe months, off". Kevin made it clear that when he returns, his main priority is the Magnificent Seven - especially Scott Steiner. "When I make my return, I guarantee you all that the first thing I do is take care of the Magnificent Seven - and then I'm going to take down Scott Steiner, and show him that he should have never messed with Big Sexy". Nash made his WCW debut in 1994, along with Scott Hall, and together they formed the Outsiders. Since 1994, Nash has been a prominent figure in WCW. Winning the World Title on 5 different occasions, Nash has been nothing short of dominant. When Nash makes his highly anticipated return to the ring, you can bet he is looking to add another World Title to his accolades. © 2001 World Championship Wrestling, Inc.

WCW Monday Nitro: (- July 30 2001: Melbourne, Australia) Scott Hudson and Tony Schiavone are at the announce table to kick off this week's edition of WCW Nitro, which is being held in Melbourne, Australia! The pair waste no time in notfying us that WCW President, Eric Bischoff is not here tonight and that Mike Sanders is calling the shots! "Above Average" Mike Sanders then begins to confidently swagger down to the ring to alot of heat from the crowd. He gets on the microphone and begins to yell at the crowd to shut up. He says that Eric Bischoff left him in control of the show tonight since him and Eric are "tight". Mike says that tonight in the main event it will be Sting taking on Goldberg! The crowd go absolutely nuts at this. Ric Flair comes down the ramp, without any music, and Dawn Marie on his arm. He has a microphone telling Mike repeatedly "no, no, no". Ric gets into the ring and says that he reliases that Mike wants good ratings for the show, but these Australian fans should not be treated to a main event the caliber of Sting taking on Goldberg. The crowd boo. Ric tells Sanders that the crowd are booing him, and not the Nature Boy. Sanders says that Ric is right and the crowd shouldn't be treated to a match like Sting vs. Goldberg! The crowd begin to boo the pair, as Dawn Marie grins from the side. Ric tells Sanders that he has some great plans for the show and that he should give him the book. Sanders isn't too sure. Suddenly, 2 models comey out from the back in skimpy outfits and they get into the ring. Ric says Sanders can have both models aswell as a World Title match, when Scott Steiner rightfully reclaims the title, if he lets Ric book the show. Sanders and Flair hug in the centre of the ring, presumably making it official that Flair is now in charge of the show. Scott Hudson says that Eric Bischoff won't be happy. Commercial BreakWCW CRUISERWEIGHT TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS: The Filthy Animals (ch: w/ Tygress) vs. Kid Romeo and Elix SkipperIn the first contest of the evening, Billy Kidman and Rey Misterio, Jr. put their Cruiserweight Tag Titles on the line against the former champions, Kid Romeo and Elix Skipper in a high-flying tag team contest. Kid Romeo looked to regain the titles for himself and Skipper when he drilled Rey, Jr. with the Last Kiss, but Kidman was just able to break up the count. A couple of minutes following Romeo almost winning the match, Kidman took the win home for himself and Rey, Jr. when he pinned Romeo with the Shooting Star Press. The referee hands both Rey, Jr. and Kidman their belts as they celebrate, with Tygress standing behind them, applauding their victory. The trio celebrate with the crowd at ringside as we cut to a break. Commercial BreakRic Flair, along with some other Magnificent Seven members, is shown sitting at a desk with his feet placed on the desk. He is talking to Curt Hennig about how great it feels to be calling the shots again. The door of the office swings open, and the camera turns around to show Scott Steiner and Midajah entering. Flair takes his feet off the desk and stands up, clearly delighted to see Steiner. Flair tells Scott that the originally booked match of Scott Steiner taking on Booker T in the tournament to crown the World Champion won't be taking place - instead it will be Scott Steiner taking on.. Dusty Rhodes! Steiner seems pleased at this, even moreso with the fact that the match is apart of the World Title tournament. Just as Steiner and Midajah go to leave, Flair says that the match will be a First Blood match! Flair then demands that Steiner take Dusty out for what he done to him this past week on Thunder. Madusa vs. Stacey KeiblerThis was a pretty horrendous contest, purely down to the lack of in-ring skills of Stacey. It was obvious that Madusa was trying her best to carry Stacey to a good match, as she actually made Stacey look good out there on a few occasions. However, it wasn't to be Madusa's night as Keibler was able to get the victory over the veteran ladies wrestler when a Spin Kick out of nowhere! Stacey begins to jump around the ring, ecstatic with her victory of Madusa. She rolls out of the ring and begins to do a dance on the ramp, teasing the fans with her legs. The camera shows Madusa in the ring, and she is furious at the loss. She slides under the bottom rope and paces the ringside area infront of Scott Hudson and Tony Schiavone at the announce table. Madusa takes a microphone and says that she is sick and tired of being treated like crap by the writers in the back, and the fans in the arena. She rants about how unless she is willing to spread her legs then she won't go anywhere in this company. She tosses the mic to the floor and storms up the ramp. The announcers wonder what's gotten into Madusa. Commercial BreakGene Okerlund is standing in the back along with Dusty Rhodes, who has his son Dustin Rhodes by his side. Dusty tells Gene that Ric Flair can try and stack the odds against him, but he has the crowd behind him, and he knows that the crowd are what will guide him to victory - and to winning the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. Ric Flair is shown watching Dusty Rhodes' interview on a monitor, and he begins to impersonate him. Buff Bagwell, Lex Luger, Dawn Marie and Curt Hennig all laugh at Flair's impression, telling him it was fantastic. Flair reveals that Booker T will take on Jeff Jarrett in the main event tonight, and that Goldberg will take on Totally Buff! Flair adds that both of those matches will be tournament contests. Commercial BreakFIRST BLOOD MATCH, WORLD TITLE TOURNAMENT: Scott Steiner (w/ Midajah) vs. Dusty RhodesIt was obvious from the beginning of the match what the outcome would be here and that we would be seeing Dusty bleeding by the time this match was over. However, our expectations didn't stop Dusty from putting up one hell of a fight against the former two time World Champion, Scott Steiner! Even some interference from Midajah couldn't stop "The American Dream" as he smacked the lips on Midajah, before then drilling Steiner with the Bionic Elbow. However, Steiner hit Dusty with a T-Bone Suplex before Midajah passed Steiner a lead pipe. Steiner began to drill Dusty with the lead pipe, eventually busting him open. Steiner begins to drill Dusty with the pipe, refusing to stop. Midajah urges Steiner to continue, as the referee tries to stop him. Steiner shoves the referee down and then taunts to the crowd. He continues his assault until Dustin Rhodes comes running to the ring. He slides into the ring and takes the fight to Steiner almost immediantly. He clotheslines Steiner out of the ring and grabs ahold of Midajah by the hair, but Rick Steiner appears from the back, attacking Rhodes. Dustin fights back at Rick, allowing Midajah to quickly bail from the ring. Dustin and Dusty both clothesline Rick out of the ring, and Rick, Scott and Midajah all have a tantrum on the ramp as the Rhodes' dance in the ring. Commercial BreakGene Okerlund is backstage with Christopher Nowinski, Vampiro, Malice and Daffney. Nowinski tells Gene that tonight they have the unfortunate pleasure of taking on Bam Bam Bigelow, Sean O'Haire and Chuck Palumbo in a six person tag match. Daffney is shown playing with her hair and twiddling her thumbs in the background. Nowinski looks confused by her actions as he stops mid sentence and asks her what she's doing, to which she explains "having fun". Nowinski advises Daffney to stay in the back for their match as she is "fragile" and he doesn't want her hurt. Nowinski, Vampiro and Malice head off, leaving Daffney standing with Gene. She lets out a huge scream before bursting into tears because she has been left alone. Gene sends us to ringside "before things get ugly" back here. The Cruiserweight Champion, Yoshihiro Tajiri is shown standing backstage looking extremely nervous. Tajiri begins to slowly walk down the hallway, still extremely nervous. The camera shows that Tajiri has stopped behind Major Gunns, who has her Queen of WCW crown and sash on. Tajiri taps her on the shoulder, and as she spins around, Tajiri's eyes open wide. In broken English and stuttering, Tajiri asks Major Gunns out on a date. She instantly says yes and they link arms, heading off down the hallway, with Tajiri appearing as if he cannot believe his luck! Commercial BreakChristopher Nowinski, Malice and Vampiro vs. Bam Bam Bigelow and the Natural Born ThrillersThis was your standard six man tag match here, where the heels dominate in the beginning until the face makes the hot tag. In this case, Palumbo was worked over until he made the hot tag to Bigelow who cleared the ring. In the end, Daffney came staggering to the ring, her mascara running down her face. She tried to interfere, but Nowinski was trying to tell her to leave. Bigelow took advantage of Nowinski being distracted and hit a Piledriver for the victory! Daffney looks around, looking stunned at the fact she cost Nowinski, Malice and Vampiro the contest. She rolls into the ring and begins to apologise to the trio about the loss. Nowinski yells at Daffney, while grabbing her by the hair. She repeatedly tells Nowinski that he is sorry. He begins to shake her about by the hair, with Daffney screaming. Malice interferes, shoving Nowinski and telling him to leave her alone. Nowinski is stunned at Malice stepping up to him, but he slides out of the ring and grins at Malice as he walks to the back. Commercial BreakChristopher Nowinski is shown rushing down the hallway. Gene Okerlund comes running up to him, asking him what just went down between him and Malice. Nowinski tells Gene that obviously Malice's head isn't screwed on properly and if he thinks he can treat him the way he did, then he has another thing coming. We see the back of a man, the man turns around and it's Goldberg! He is surrounded by his usual entourage of security, and he is in his wrestling gear. He begins to talk into the camera about how tonight is the beginning of the road to Goldberg reclaiming the WCW World Heavyweight Championship once again. Goldberg warns Totally Buff that they're next! WORLD TITLE TOURNAMENT: Goldberg vs. Totally BuffTotally Buff had the upperhand here, purely because of the numbers advantage. However, Goldberg was able to hold his own and take both Buff and Lex down with ease. After Spearing Bagwell and sending him to the outside in pain, Goldberg finished Luger off with the Jackhammer to get the 1, 2, 3 and advance in the World Title tournament. The referee raises Goldberg's hand following the contest, as Lex Luger and Buff Bagwell recruit on the outside. The pair continue to sell the Jackhammer and Spear respectively as Goldberg keeps on celebrating in the ring as the crowd go wild. Jeff Jarrett and Booker T are both shown walking through the hallways as we cut to the final commercial break of the evening, as the main event between Jarrett and Booker will not be interupted with commercials! Commercial BreakWORLD TITLE TOURNAMENT: Jeff Jarrett vs. Booker TA solid way to close out tonights show here with Booker T and Jeff Jarrett going at it. Jarrett goes to hit the Stroke around five minutes in, but Booker counters it and hits an Axe Kick - but he is only able to get a 2 count. The pair continue to battle it out, with Jarrett going to blast Booker with his guitar, but the guitar breaks off the turnbuckle when Booker gets out of the way. Booker then hits the Book End when Jarrett turns around, and it was enough to get the 3! Booker does the Spin-a-roonie following the contest. Jarrett rolls out of the ring and takes his guitar from ringside as Ric Flair comes storming down the ramp, taking his suit jacket off and throwing it to the ground. Flair slides into the ring and him and Booker exchange chops. Flair pokes Booker in the eyes, and a blinded Booker stumbles around. Jarrett takes a swing with his guitar, but Booker gets out of the way and Jarrett breaks his guitar over Flair! Booker hits Double J with a Superkick, sending him crashing to the floor outside. © 2001 FUSIENT MEDIA VENTURES/WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING, INC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

-Mike Sanders putting Ric in charge of tonight's show is an interesting idea, should be good. Not a fan of promoting Goldberg/Sting just to take it away -Nice to see the Filthy Animals win in a great opener, I'd love an Elix Skipper push -I like Flair abusing his power to pit Steiner against Dusty -Figured Stacy would win as Madusa is at a stage where she'll put over other girls, but shocked at Madusa's post match promo -Love that Dusty put up a good fight, but the right choice was made to have Steiner win -Good six man tag and Daffney costing her guys the match was interesting -Again, Totally Buff is a great team name, but Goldberg winning was the obvious choice -Booker winning the final qualifying match was the right choice in my opinion, I'm guessing the final person to qualify will do so at Thunder
Solid edition of Nitro

Man, the layout for this diary and its graphics are ing beautiful. Definitely a bit envious of you for coming up with something like this before I did, Jordan. Kind of wish I watched WCW and wrestling altogether around this time because it's hard for me to understand some of the storylines going on. The cruiserweight division certainly intrigues me, though.

I absolutely loved the Kevin Nash interview, which was brilliant. Sting taking on Goldberg in the main event will be amazing. Oh that damn Ric Flair ruined the possible epic main event. I really do love the way Flair got control of the show; that was tremendous booking. Kidman pinning Romeo to retain the WCW Cruiserweight Tag Team Championships is great. Steiner is going to murder Dusty Rhodes in the first blood match. I am unsure about putting Keibler over Madusa as Madusa is the superior talent. I do enjoy the worked shoot after the match. Just the thought of Dusty Rhodes as WCW Champion is cringe worthy. Booker T taking of Double J, and Goldberg taking on Totally Buff should both be excellent matches. I like that Rhodes put up a great fight, and the lead pipe finish was solid. I love Daffney and you are booking her amazingly. The six person tag match should be a solid encounter. Tajiri got Major Gunns! Wow. Nowinski getting distracted by Daffney allowing Bigelow to defeat him is good. Malice standing up to Chris was good and the tension between those two should be good. Goldberg advancing in the tournament was logical, so no complaints there. Booker T getting the upper hand over Double J, and later Ric Flair, was a great way to end the show.

WCW Monday Nitro: Monday 30th July 2001...Welcome back! And wow, Melbourne, Australia eh? I like it. A good opening promo by Mike Sanders to start up and I liked his setting up for the main event just to be interrupted by Ric Flair. Very good promo to start off and it prepares us for the main event this evening. The Filthy Animals defeating Kid Romeo and Elix Skipper is fine; not a bad match in actual fact. Good defense of the WCW Cruiserweight Tag Team Championships but I am surprised to still see it around. Ric Flair's segment with the Magnificent Seven was nice, pretty enjoyable and continues to prepare up the WCW World Heavyweight Championship Tournament headed into Mayhem. Looking forward to where that goes. Terrible womens match with Stacy Keibler beating Madusa: terrible for Stacy to beat a great female talent like Madusa and I would like to see you steal a WWF diva in the future, however. Maybe Jacqueline. A good first hour main event first blood match; I am liking how you are fitting stipulations into this tournament as it adds some spice. I would like to know how many men are in this tournament however. Scott Steiner beating Dusty Rhodes was obvious, I wonder where Dustin Rhodes went. Christopher Nowinski, Malice and Vampiro is an odd combination, but not as odd as Bam Bam Bigelow and the Natural Born Thrillers. Great six-man tag action, with Bigelow winning thankfully. Goldberg ploughing through Totally Buff was no surprise but would like to see Buff Bagwell get a tiny bit of a propelled push in the near future, rather than being lodged with Lex Luger. Great win for Booker T in what is a tiny bit of a weak main event, but it's all good as Booker beat Jeff Jarrett. A solid show for the foreign audience, looking forward to Mayhem.
