The opening contest was great as it allowed two great talents to showcase their abilities and help get them over. The Cat is still running things like a pimp daddy. The tag match created by the bingo method should be terrific. I would have loved for The Mamalukes to pick up the victory, but The Filthy Animals scoring a victory is solid. Elix Skipper and Kid Romeo complaining to The Cat should be interesting. Jeff Jarrett defeating Hugh Morris was a great decision and the match sounded like it was decent, which is a plus. I like Double J scoring a huge shot with the guitar. The main event should be stellar. I was surprised Billy Kidman/Romeo versus Moore/Skipper was not a terrific matchup. What happened to Elix Skipper and Kid Romeo confronting The Cat? I like The Road Warriors confronting Totally Buff at ringside. Team Canada retaining their belts was terrific. The post match activity was crazy, good stuff there.

[/color] and BG James (w/ Tygress) def. WCW Canadian Tag Team Champions, Lance Storm[/color] and Mike Awesome. - This was a tremendous tag team contest, with The Filthy Animals getting the shock win over Team Canada when Konnan nailed Storm with a Cradle DDT. Team Canada thought they had an easy victory tonight, but you could tell they were shocked when Konnan and BG hit some nice double team moves on both Storm and Awesome. Mike Awesome tried to break up Konnan's pin on Storm, but he wasn't quick enough.
Konnan and BG hug each other but, Mike Awesome blindsides them both with a clothesline. Awesome puts the boots to the duo before Lance Storm joins in. Storm clocks Konnan with one of the tag title belts before Awesome does the same to BG. Tygress begs for them to stop, but Awesome shoves her down. They then drape the Canadian flag over both Konnan and BG as the crowd throw some trash into the ring. Storm and Awesome take their tag titles and head up the ramp.
* Booker T def. The Wall. - The four time WCW World Champion took to the ring for a singles match with the much bigger, The Wall. Booker T worked a decent match with The Wall, which was obvious Booker was getting the victory. Shane Douglas and Torrie Wilson came down the ramp, with Torrie distracting the referee while Douglas went to attack Booker with a steel chain, but Booker ducked and took Douglas down with an Heel Kick. Booker then avoided The Wall's attempted big boot and pinned The Wall with an Axe Kick.
Booker T sits on the middle rope and tells Douglas to get back in the ring. But instead Douglas heads up the ramp with Torrie, while he yells at Booker.
* After the commercial, Douglas is shown storming down the hallway with Torrie Wilson trying to keep up with him. Jeff Jarrett then bumps into Douglas and the two have a short staredown. Jarrett tells Douglas that he hasn't forgot about him punching him two weeks back on Thunder, and he will get his revenge. Douglas mocks Jarrett before telling him that he was pinned by Booker T. Douglas says that when you're pinned by Booker T, you know your career is over. Douglas then tells Jarrett that he's coming for his U.S Title. Jarrett tells Douglas that next week on Nitro it will be Shane Douglas and Booker T taking on Jeff Jarrett and Scott Steiner! Douglas looks pissed before Jarrett heads off.
* Air Raid, AJ Styles and Air Paris, were backstage together. AJ told Paris that they both want into the Cruiserweight Gauntlet at The Great American Bash, so whatever happens out there, is nothing but business. Paris agrees and then wishes AJ luck before he walks off, leaving AJ to get his entrance attire on.
* Yang and AJ Styles def. Kaz Hayashi and Air Paris. - To all the internet smarks out there watching this, it was obvious that Yang and Styles would be winning, as it was revealed that Kaz Hayashi will be working a NJPW event on the same night as The Great American Bash. Air Raid wrestled each other out there, but The Jung Dragons didn't. In a side-note, The Jung Dragons had entrance attire tonight, which was very Great Muta-esque. AJ pinned Hayashi after a Shooting Star Press, which is dubbed the Shooting Styles Press.
* A video recaps last weeks Nitro, which saw Scott Steiner vowing to break Sting in two when he gets his hands on him. Hudson then hypes our main event which is Curt Hennig taking on Sting. Hudson and Schiavone then run down the current Great American Bash card: Chavo Guerrero, Jr. will defend the Cruiserweight Title against Yoshihiro Tajiri. 10 Cruiserweights participate in a gauntlet. Lance Storm and Mike Awesome defend their Canadian Tag Titles against BG James and Konnan, and Ric Flair and Curt Hennig take on The Road Warriors!
* Pamela Paulshock was standing by backstage with Curt Hennig, who had Ric Flair by his side. Hennig said that tonight he's going to beat Sting, and then come The Great American Bash, him and Ric will beat The Road Warriors. Flair does his signature Woo before the duo head off and Pamela sends us to the ringside area.
* Sting def. Curt Hennig (w/ Ric Flair). - This was a great nostalgic main event, that the crowd just ate up. Hennig played the heel role well, while Sting got the crowd rallied up. Ric Flair's interference got more and more heat on him and Hennig, and the crowd got more and more behind Sting. Hennig went for the Hennig-Plex, but Sting fought his way out of it, and it wasn't long before he nailed the Scorpion Death Drop for the three count.
Scott Steiner's music played across the PA system and he made his way down the ramp with Midajah and the World Title in his hand. Sting waited on Steiner coming down the ramp when Ric Flair chop blocked Sting and him and Hennig stomped away at Sting. Steiner got into the ring and hit Sting with a couple of T-Bone's before synching in the Steiner Recleiner. Nitro comes to a close with Sting passed out in the Steiner Recleiner, with Steiner continuing to keep the hold locked in, and Hennig, Flair and Midajah yelling at Sting.[/font][/quote]

I haven't really followed the diary so I am a little new to this. Good opener match, Tajiri winning is more realistic that Mysterio winning. You had some nice backstage/in-ring segments on the show. Konnan/James winning is cool. Glad Styles and Yang won there match. Nice Main event. Sting winning is awesome. Nice show Jord.

I was surprised to see Yoshihiro Tajiri goes over in the opening contest considering that Rey Mysterio is more over than him. However, I do like the decision as it is nice to see someone new get a push for the gold. I love Yoshihiro Tajiri nailing Chavo Guerrero with a huge kick after the match. Ric Flair being Hennig’s partner is great and I love that the crowd was pleased as well. I love Double J and Hennig being in shock. Crowbar picking up the victory isn’t bad. I love Team Canada, they are just great. I’m getting a little bored of the bingo machine making matches. It was at first but it starting to be too much of a joke. Konnan and BG James winning makes sense as it helps continue their rivalry with Team Canada and since they got revenge after the match it evens out. Booker T picking up a decent victory is good. Shane Douglas and Booker T taking on Jeff Jarrett and Scott Steiner sounds like a great match. Yang and AJ Styles picking up the victory is good. The main event was great and Sting going over was the right call. I love the aftermath of the main event, that was good stuff.

[/color], Lenny Lane and Paisley. - We kicked off Thunder with a mixed six person tag team match, that was mainly just the guys wrestling, leaving Major Gunns and Paisley to look good on the apron. Lane spent too much time dancing instead of making the cover when Kwee-Wee hit a Piledriver on LeRoux. LeRoux got to his feet and pinned Lane after nailing the Whiplash.
The Misfits In Action celebrate as we cut to the first commercial of the evening.
* Gene Okerlund was standing by backstage with WCW's newest superstar, Sonny Siaki. Okerlund asked Gene about his upcoming match with Norman Smiley, to which Siaki asked "who?" before admiring himself in the mirror. Gene asks Siaki a few more questions, but he gets no response as Siaki fixes his hair in the mirror.
* Sonny Siaki def. Norman Smiley. - In his WCW debut, Sonny Siaki made short work of Norman Smiley. It was noted by Mike Tenay that Siaki will compete in a tag team match with the chance to earn a shot in the Cruiserweight Gauntlet at The Great American Bash. Siaki looked to take Smiley down with a clothesline, but Smiley performed the Big Wiggle. A few moments later and Smiley was sprawled on the matt, after taking the Siakalypse.
Siaki flexes for some women at ringside before he cockily walks up the ramp.
* Gene Okerlund was standing by backstage with Shane Douglas and Torrie Wilson. Gene asked Douglas about his main event match with Booker T. Douglas told Gene that it's about time WCW management gave him the recognition he deserves, and tonight he's going to walk all over Booker T before taking the U.S Championship from Jeff Jarrett at The Great American Bash. Douglas walks off, before Torrie flips her hair in Gene's face and then runs after Douglas.
* The Cat, as usual, was in his office with Ms. Jones and the bingo machine. Jones withdrew four balls. The first two names were Rey Misterio, Jr. and Jamie Knoble. The third and fourth names were Evan Karagias and Mike Sanders.
* Rey Misterio, Jr.[/color] and Jamie Knoble (w/ Tygress) def. Evan Karagias[/color] and Mike Sanders[/color]. - Mike Sanders seemed out of place out there, but he is a cruiserweight. He just didn't do as much "cruiserweight moves" as the other three did. Jamie Knoble and Rey couldn't work along together, and Rey even dropkicked Knoble when Knoble made out with Tygress at ringside. The fight between the two almost cost them the match as Sanders rolled Rey up, but Rey kicked out. Rey then hit Sanders with a Tornado DDT for the three count.
Rey and Knoble didn't celebrate together. Instead, Rey went up the ramp with Tygress while Knoble recovered from being dropkicked into the announcers table.
* Scott Steiner is shown backstage with Midajah. The camera pans out to show Gene Okerlund by their side. Steiner said that this past Monday on Nitro he proved to the world that Sting is a failure at a wrestler, and he cannot withstand the sheer power of Scott Steiner. Steiner then told Gene that tonight he is going to make an example of "Iceberg" as he called him.
* Tenay and Madden run down the current Great American Bash card!
* Non-Title Match: WCW World Heavyweight Champion, Scott Steiner (w/ Midajah) def. Glacier. - Glacier seemed focus at first, but when Steiner nailed a big T-Bone Suplex, the match was all Scott Steiner. Steiner just toyed around with Glacier before hitting a series of belly-to-belly's and then locking in the Steiner Recleiner and Glacier passed out.
Scott Steiner grabs the World Title from the referee before demanding that the referee raise his hand in victory. The referee does so before Steiner orders Midajah to get a steel chair as he goes over to Glacier. Midajah hands him the chair and Steiner smashes the chair off Glacier's head while Glacier lay on the matt, still out from the Steiner Recleiner. Steiner then repeatedly smashes Glacier with the chair as Mike Tenay yells.
* Daffney is shown backstage with her back to the camera. She is talking to someone, repeatedly saying Crowbar over and over. Gene Okerlund approaches her, and she jumps before closing her phone over. She looks scared to death, and she is clearly adjitated. Gene asks her what the hell is wrong with her, but she runs off, leaving Gene alone.
* A graphic hypes our main event which is a Number #1 Contendership match for Jeff Jarrett's United States Championship!
* WCW U.S. Championship, #1 Contendership: Booker T vs. Shane Douglas (w/ Torrie Wilson). (No Contest) - This was a fantastic way to cap off the show, with both men having a knock down, drag out match. Booker T set Douglas up for the Axe Kick, but Torrie Wilson crawled into the ring and locked lips with Booker T, trying to seduce him. Booker grabbed Torrie by the hair and teased hitting her as the crowd egged him on. Douglas saved Torrie when he blindsided Booker. Douglas stomped away Booker before pulling his signature steel chain out from his trunks and wrapping it around his fists. When Booker got to his feet, Douglas charged at him, but Booker pulled the top rope down and Douglas went over and out. The pair fought arond the ring before they brawled up the ramp, with the referee reaching a ten count.
The referee called for the bell and the match ended in a no contest. The pair fought to the top of the ramp and through the curtains to the back as Thunder comes to a close with Mike Tenay asking how Booker and Douglas can possibly co-operate this Monday on Nitro.[/font][/quote]

- Nice Opening bout, I liked the ending. - Another great match, that was written well. I don't know much about WCW so I can't reply fully. - Glad that Rey and Knoble won as I think that they were the better wrestlers, I liked the way Rey attacked his own partner. - Steiner winning in a sort of squash is good, I'm liking the short results because I tend not to bother reading REALLY Long ones unless its a PPV. - I like the post-match heel actions of Stenier. - Main Event seemed like an Ace match. I'm geussing a Triple Threat at the GAB.
Well written. Great Show. Reply to my WWE 09?

-Not really a fan of anybody in the opener so it was just meh to me -Siaki coming in is great and glad he won his debut -I really hope to see Douglas win the tournament and the Title -Tag match, while random, was good and the right team won -Glacier squash! I love it as Glacier has always been the butt of some of my jokes -The Daffney stuff you have going is brilliant -I smell a Triple Threat match between Booker, Douglas & Jarrett for the US Title, which would be awesome
Good Thunder, I like most of your storylines and I just wish this was more active

- I like Lenny Lane teaming with Kwee- Wee and Paisley. Figuring Lane may become a baby face. - I have Siaki in my WCW, so I obviously like him being in WCW. - Rey/Knoble would have some really good matches. - Steiner destroying Glacier is awesome. The “Iceberg” line before was funny as well. - Wasn’t expecting a finish like that for the main event. Oh well.

[/color]. - In Sonny Siaki's second WCW match, he shocked the crowd with the upset of the night when he pinned Tajiri, the number one contender to the WCW Cruiserweight Title. By defeating Tajiri, Siaki earned himself a place in the Cruiserweight Gauntlet at The Great American Bash. These two put on a great contest, but Siaki took the win when Scott Norton came down the ramp and distracted the referee which allowed Chavo to nail Tajiri with the Cruiserweight Title. Siaki pinned Tajiri for the three count.
Sonny Siaki flexes for a few females at ringside as Tajiri holds his head and stares at Chavo Guerrero, who is swaggering up the ramp with Scott Norton.
* Pamela Paulshock is standing by backstage with Curt Hennig, who has a towel in his hands. Hennig talks about how at The Great American Bash, him and Ric Flair will tag together and humiliate The Road Warriors. Hennig says that tonight, Hugh Morrus will be humilated by him.
* Tygress is shown backstage with Konnan and BG James. Tygress tells them that she's going to get a cup of water and if any of them want one. They tell her no and she heads off. The camera follows Tygress down the hall. She turns around a corner and stops at the water dispenser. She begins to pour the water out when Mike Awesome grabs ahold of her and puts his hand over her mouth and her water spills all over the floor. Awesome pulls her down the hallway and into a locker room before closing the door before we see anything.
* Hardcore Match: Crowbar def. Big Vito. - Crowbar took on Big Vito in a Hardcore Match that surprised many with how good it was. Vito didn't have his Mamaluke counterpart, Johnny Stamboli with him at ringside, although Vito didn't need him out there. Vito looked to put Crowbar through a table with a Suplex, but Crowbar was able to reverse it into a Spike DDT onto a trashcan for the three count.
Afterwards, Crowbar pulls himself to his feet while holding his ribs. Daffney comes running down the ramp with a steel chair, screaming. She charges at Crowbar with the chair, but Crowbar ducks and Daffney hits the ropes with the chair and it rebounds and smacks herself on the face. Daffney drops to the matt, clutching her nose as Crowbar looks at her, feeling bad.
* Shane Douglas is shown pacing the hallway backstage with Torrie Wilson complaining to him about how he's got to co-operate with Booker T tonight. Douglas stops in his tracks and begins to yell at Torrie that he can't co-operate with Booker. Douglas calls Torrie stupid and asks her if she seen what happened with them on Thunder. Torrie doesn't answer him and Douglas begins to pace the hallway. Torrie storms off before Douglas yells at her and asks where she's going. Torrie tells him that she's going to find Booker.
* Konnan and BG James where backstage shouting on Tygress, but there was no sign of her anywhere. Billy Kidman and Rey Misterio, Jr. came running up and asked Konnan and BG what was up. They told them that Tygress had gone to get some water and she hasn't returned. Kidman tells BG and Konnan that they're match is next so they'll look for Tygress while they go have their match.
* Bryan Clarke and Brian Adams def. Konnan and BG James. (Countout) - This was actually a really, really good match that saw KroniK return to TV after a few weeks absense. Konnan and BG had control in the early going, but KroniK turned the match around in their favour when Clarke hit Konnan with a Big Boot. Konnan soon hit Adams with a Cradle DDT but Lance Storm appeared on the TurnerTron and he was talking to Konnan. Storm tells Konnan not to worry about Tygress because she's safe and sound. The camera pans out and we see Tygress being held by Mike Awesome. Konnan and BG leave the ring and run up the ramp, getting themselves counted out.
* The camera immediantly follows BG and Konnan through the backstage area as they look for Team Canada. They kick their own locker room door in and find Rey Misterio, Jr. and Billy Kidman sprawled out on the floor, both of them a bloody mess. Konnan and BG yell for help before Konnan runs out, still on the hunt for Tygress and Team Canada.
* Pamela Paulshock is backstage with the WCW World Heavyweight Champion, Scott Steiner who has Midajah with him. Steiner tells Pamela that The Magnificent Seven are the greatest faction in professional wrestling history, and he is the greatest world champion in pro wrestling history. Steiner brags about how he put Booker T, Sting, Goldberg, Kevin Nash, Dustin Rhodes and Diamond Dallas Page on the sidelines and Sting wants some more, but he is going to re-injure him. Steiner says that if Sting wants him, he can get him. Anytime, anyplace.
* Curt Hennig (w/ Ric Flair) def. Hugh Morrus (w/ Major Gunns). - This was actually a tremendous contest that was given alot of time to let both men get a good amount of offense, and work a great match. Ric Flair and Major Gunns provided some comedy at ringside as Flair tried to chat her up, but she blanked him. Morrus got distracted by Flair trying to chat Major Gunns up and Hennig nailed the Hennig-Plex for the victory.
Curt Hennig's hand is about to be raised by the referee afterwards, but Ric Flair shoves the referee aside and raises Hennig's hand as Major Gunns checks on Morrus.
* Torrie Wilson is shown backstage with Booker T. She is trying to reason with him to co-operate with Shane Douglas in their tag team match. Booker eventually tells Torrie that he'll co-operate with Douglas, but if Douglas is an ass out there, then they can forget about co-operating as he'll whoop his ass right there and then. Torrie tells Booker that she'll go have words with Douglas, but then suddenly Lance Storm and Mike Awesome sprint by with Tygress over Awesome's shoulder. BG James and Konnan then run by with lead pipes and the camera ditches Torrie and Booker in favour for the Team Canada vs. Filthy Animals.
* Team Canada exit the arena through a door and they are now outside the arena. They run around a corner and BG and Konnan come out the door a few seconds behind them, but they don't know where Team Canada went with Tygress. Suddenly, Konnan and BG drop to the floor as Mike Awesome has ambushed them from behind with a clothesline. Awesome stomps away at BG as Lance Storm holds Tygress by the hair. Konnan tries to get up but is kicked in the ribs. Storm says that if they want to humiliate Team Canada again then the next time, Tygress won't be left unharmed like this time. Storm drags Tygress off by the hand with Awesome as BG and Konnan lie on the ground in pain.
* Shane Helms def. Jamie Knoble (w/ Cash). - Two of WCW's finest cruiserweights put on a great encounter that left the crowd in awe. With his Trailer Park Cash partner in his corner, Knoble had the advantage at first, but after a miscue from Cash, Knoble lost the advantage as Helms took control. It wasn't long before Cash once again tried to get involved, but Helms countered it and sent Cash over the top rope and out before nailing Knoble with the Vertebreaker.
Shane Helms celebrates his victory on the turnbuckle as the crowd pop. Scott Hudson sends us to the back where he says that Shane Douglas is with Torrie Wilson!
* Torrie Wilson is shown pleading with Shane Douglas to co-operate with Booker T tonight as Booker has said he will. Douglas says that he won't be co-operating with anyone but himself. Torrie tells Douglas to think about what a win for him tonight would do because pinning either the U.S Champion or the World Champion is a big thing to do. Douglas pauses and nods his head but before he can say anything we cut to a commercial.
* Booker T and Shane Douglas (w/ Torrie Wilson)[/size] def. WCW United States Champion, Jeff Jarrett[/color] and WCW World Heavyweight Champion, Scott Steiner (w/ Midajah). - This was one of the best Nitro main events we've had in quite some time. All four men had a knock down, drag out match that the crowd just ate up. Booker and Douglas seemed to be co-operating in the early going, but when Booker almost pinned Steiner after an Axe Kick, Douglas pulled Booker off the World Champion and the pair got into an argument. The lights went out and Sting's music played. When the lights came on, his signature bat was in the centre of the ring! Steiner picked up the bat and begin to smash it off the ringpost until it broke in two while he yelled on Sting. Douglas was able to nail Jarrett with the Franchiser to get the three count for his team!
Scott Hudson says that Booker T and Shane Douglas have both pinned the U.S Champion, but who will get the title shot!? The show comes to a close with Douglas mocking Booker that he pinned Jarrett, and not him.[/font][/quote]

- glad to see Siaki winning and doing so not cleanly. Would be too soon for him to get a big win like that. - Considering the history between Hennig and Flair, especially in WCW, I don’t like them being in a alliance. - I have no idea what that’s suppose to indicate with Awesome and Tygress.. - Crowbar and Vito usually have good hardcore matches. Not a surprise. - Makes sense now that Tygress was taken to distract Konnan and James. Awesome and Storm getting the upper hand in the feud is good to see. - Hennig and Morrus seems like a good match up. - I must say I love the way you wrote the whole Team Canada/Filthy Animals segments. - Solid win for Helms. - Clearly it is going to be a triple threat match for the US strap. - Very enjoyable read.

-Hopefully Siaki gets a solid push, loved that he pinned Tajiri at the moment. I can see him winning the Gauntlet -Interested in what Awesome is doing there -I am in love with the Crowbar/Daffney angle -Glad KroniK looked good in their return and loved what Team Canada is doing -Henning over Morris is the right call -Again, more greatness from Storm & Awesome -Cruiserweight match was great -I love that the focus of the show was the US Title and Jarrett/Booker/Douglas will be classic if it happens
Great show, I wish WCW was actually like this in 2001

I was very surprised to see Sonny Siak picking up the victory over Yoshihiro Tajiri. I really like Chavo Guerrero costing Tajiri the match. I like Mike Awesome kidnapping Tygress. A decent win for Crowbar, but nothing special. I love Daffney trying to attacking Crowbar. Nice Scott Steiner promo. A solid win for Curt Hennig. I love BG and Konnan getting sneaked attacked. A solid main event, a lot of great action there.

[/b] and Scott Norton def. Shane Helms and Yoshihiro Tajiri[/color]. - This was actually a really, really good tag team encounter. Chavo was cocky at first since he had the much bigger Scott Norton in his corner, but when Tajiri fired into Chavo with a series of kicks, he kicked the cocky right out of him. Helms and Tajiri made quick tags to keep each other fresh and this really helped them keep control. Chavo went for a Brainbuster onto Tajiri, but Tajiri was able to connect with a Roundhouse Kick to Chavo's temple. Tajiri made the cover, but Scott Norton broke it up and nailed Tajiri with a devastating Powerbomb before placing Chavo on top of Tajiri and then taking care of Helms.
Mike Tenay talks about how Chavo just pinned his challenger at The Great American Bash, but Mark Madden reminds us that Chavo pinned Tajiri with thanks to Scott Norton and that Tajiri holds a clean victory over Chavo. Chavo swaggers up the ramp with Norton as Shane Helms crawls into the ring to check on Tajiri.
* Gene Okerlund is standing by backstage with Bryan Clarke and Brian Adams, collectively known as KroniK. The duo say that they didn't want their match this past Monday to end the way it did, but a win is a win, and they will continue to rack up victories before taking the WCW World Tag Team Championships.
* Sirens begin to sound and the WCW World Heavyweight Champion, Scott Steiner comes down the ramp with Midajah. Steiner says that since Monday, everybody has been asking about him telling Sting he'll put his title on the line anytime, anyplace, and they wantsto know if the match has been set. Steiner says that Sting is a coward to show up and face him man to man. The lights go out and Sting's titantron video plays on the TurnerTron. When the lights come back on, Steiner is facing the titantron, unaware that Sting is behind him. Midajah tells Steiner that Sting is behind him and Steiner charges at Sting, but Sting ducks and then swings his bat at Steiner! Sting hits Steiner with several shots with the bat before clotheslining Steiner over the top rope and out. Steiner heads up the ramp with Midajah as Sting picks up the microphone that Steiner had. Sting yells into the mic that he wants Steiner and the WCW World Title at The Great American Bash. Steiner tells Sting that it's on as we cut to a commercial!
* Scott Steiner is shown storming down the hallway with Midajah and Ric Flair and he is knocking everything over in anger. Ric is telling Steiner that he doesn't have to defend his title against Sting at The Great American Bash. Steiner stops and grabs Ric by the collar of his shirt and tells him that at The Great American Bash he is going to cripple Sting and put him on the shelf. But this time, he'll be on the shelf for good and there won't be no returns for Sting! Steiner heads off with Midajah, leaving Ric alone. The camera focuses on Flair who is shaking his head.
* Bryan Clarke and Brian Adams def. Kwee-Wee and Lenny Lane (w/ Paisley)[/b]. - KroniK continued their winning streak tonight on Thunder as they went 2-0 since they returned to television. Team Glitter put up a fight, but they were destroyed by KroniK. Clarke eventually nailed a violent Chokeslam to Kwee-Wee for the victory.
The referee raises Clarke and Adam's hands in victory as we cut to a hype video.
* We hear a classroom bell before we see a blonde haired man at a chalkboard. He writes his name, Christopher Nowinski, on the board and begins to lecture us on how he is a Harvard alumnus, and that he will teach the WCW locker room a lesson.
* Non-Title Match: WCW United States Champion, Jeff Jarrett def. Bam Bam Bigelow. - This was a solid encounter that the crowd just ate up. Normally, Bigelow is a heel, but tonight he was a face and he got a great response from the crowd. Jarrett knew he would have to break the rules to atleast get control at times, and he done just that as he raked Bigelow's eyes and illegally choked him out. Bigelow looked to hit the Greetings From Asbury Park, but Jarrett slid out of Bigelow's grasp and nailed the Stroke for the victory with a little leverage from the ring ropes.
Jarrett snatches his U.S Championship from the referee and raises it above himself before he goes and gets his guitar. He sizes Bigelow up, as Jarrett is looking to smash his guitar over Bigelow's head. Booker T comes running down the ramp and Jarrett scatters out the ring and heads up the ramp. Shane Douglas then sprints down the ramp with Torrie Wilson. Douglas attempts to punch Booker with his steel chain, but Booker ducks and hits a Roundhouse Kick, sending Douglas flying out of the ring. Jarrett and Douglas scatter up the ramp respectively as Booker helps Bigelow get up.
* Gene Okerlund is backstage with Lance Storm and Mike Awesome, the WCW Canadian Tag Team Champions, and they have Tygress with them. Gene tells them their actions this past Monday on Nitro were dispicable. Storm tells Gene to shut up and that The Filthy Animals cheated to beat him and Mike Awesome, and Canada aren't the losing type, so they got some revenge. Tygress insults Canada which got a response from the crowd, but pissed Storm off and he got into her face. Storm opens a bag and pulls out a dress with Maple Leaf's all over it. Storm hands it to Tygress and orders her to put it on immediantly. She refuses before Storm shoves it back in the bag and Awesome puts Tygress over his shoulder. The trio head off as we cut to a commercial.
* WCW Cruiserweight Tag Team Champion, Elix Skipper def. Lash LeRoux[/color]. - The final match to determine who gets the final spot in the Cruiserweight Gauntlet at The Great American Bash saw Elix Skipper battle Lash LeRoux in a decent singles match. LeRoux put up a fight against Skipper, but Skipper earned himself the final spot in the gauntlet when he nailed an Overdrive out of nowhere.
* Gene Okerlund is backstage with Stacy Keibler. Okerlund asks Stacy where she has been lately, to which Keibler tells Gene that she has been scouting the globe for her next project and she thinks she has found Mr. Right. Gene asks Stacy who her new client is, but Stacy tells Gene that she cannot share any information until the contract negotiations are final and that should be by atleast Sunday night as she will be flying out to his Hollywood Hills home then. Stacy smiles cutely before she walks off.
* WCW Canadian Tag Team Champions, Lance Storm[/b] and Mike Awesome (w/ Tygress) def. Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk[/color]. - Obviously Tygress was forced into the Maple Leaf dress as she had it on out there. Tygress kept interfering in the match, but instead of helping Storm and Awesome, she would "accidentally" help The Road Warriors. Which left her getting abuse from Storm and Awesome. Storm takes home the victory after nailing a Superkick for the three count.
Storm and Awesome celebrate with the title belts as Tygress looks annoyed. Tygress rips the dress off to reveal her underwear, but Lance quickly drapes her in the Canadian Flag and pulls her to the back as the show ends.[/font][/quote]

[/size] def. WCW Canadian Tag Team Champion, Lance Storm (w/ Mike Awesome). - Tygress wasn't to be seen tonight, which is most likely incase Konnan and BG took her back. Storm and BG worked a solid back and forth contest that saw both men exchange momentum. Storm had locked in a Canadian Maple Leaf, but Tygress appeared at the top of the ramp with a dress styled on the Canadian flag. Tygress took the dress of, revealing her bra and panties. Storm broke the hold and was yelling at Tygress. This allowed BG time to get up and take Storm down with the Shake, Rattle and Role before hitting a Pumphandle Slam for the three count.
BG James and Konnan celebrate in the ring as the commentators note that Mike Awesome is no where to be seen. The camera turns to the ramp and Storm is staggering up the ramp. BG and Konnan sprint up the ramp and head to the back, taking Storm down in the process.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
* A classroom bell rings and we see Christopher Nowinski sitting at his desk. He puts down his pen and welcomes us to his classroom. He says that lately he has been watching WCW at home, and studying it. Nowinski says that he has enjoyed watching The Magnificent Seven teach the crude talent such as Bill Goldberg (crowd pops), Sting (crowd pops again) and DDP (pop again) a lesson. Nowinski says that this Thursday on Thunder, one unlucky member of the WCW roster will be scholered.
* Pamela Paulshock was backstage with Chavo Guerrero, Jr., who was with Scott Norton. Pamela asked Chavo about pinning Yoshihiro Tajiri, his opponent at The Great American Bash, on Thunder, but Pamela noted that he didn't win fairly. Chavo began to get in the face of Pamela, telling her that he did what he had to do, and this Sunday, once again he's going to beat Yoshihiro Tajiri.
* WCW Cruiserweight Champion, Chavo Guerrero, Jr. (w/ Scott Norton) def. Jason Jett. - Guerrero and Jett worked a great, spot filled contest that went on about nine minutes. Jett went for a Suicide Dive to the outside onto Chavo, but Chavo got out of harms way and Jett went into the guardrail. After that, Chavo just toyed around with Jett before nailing a Brainbuster for the victory.
Chavo snatches his Cruiserweight Belt from the referee, and when the referee goes to raise Chavo's arm, he pulls away. Scott Norton then shoves the referee aside and raises Chavo's arm.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
* WCW Cruiserweight Tag Team Champions, Elix Skipper[/b] and Kid Romeo, Yang, Jamie Knoble and Sonny Siaki def. Ikuto Hidaka, Shane Helms, Billy Kidman, AJ Styles and Rey Misterio, Jr. - Come Sunday all 10 of these men will be competing for a shot at either Chavo Guerrero, Jr. or Yoshihiro Tajiri's Cruiserweight Title, but tonight they had to work together in a thrilling contest that was a bit of a clusterf*ck at times. But it was fun to watch. AJ Styles' partner, Air Paris, came down to lend AJ a hand, but he botched interference and AJ was left sprawled on the matt following a Swinging Neckbreaker from Siaki.
Sonny Siaki wastes no time in celebrating up the ramp, mocking the nine other men. Paris trys to explain to AJ, but AJ looks seriously pissed off.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
* AJ Styles is shown pacing around his locker room holding his head with an ice pack. Air Paris is shown in the background, looking hesitant to say something to AJ. Paris stands up and goes over to AJ and touches him on the shoulder, but AJ pulls away. AJ begins to tell Paris that they have been a great team, but when he begins to break away from the team to earn a shot at the Cruiserweight Title and Paris doesn't get that shot, he gets jealous. AJ tells Paris that he is a jealous bitch before he leaves the locker room, leaving Paris stunned.
* Pamela Paulshock is standing by backstage with Shane Douglas, who has his valet Torrie Wilson with him. Douglas tells Pamela that this Sunday he is going to leave a two-time United States Champion. Booker T enters the camera range and has a brief staredown with Douglas before Booker T tells Douglas that he wouldn't be so confident about walking out champion.. SUCKA~! Booker heads off, leaving Douglas looking pissed off.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
* Booker T def. Bam Bam Bigelow[/color]. - Wow, this was one hell of a match that really showcased what great talents both men are. Booker T was way over with the crowd, and I can see him winning the U.S Title this Sunday. Bigelow looked to have the match won after he hit a Splash from the top rope, but somehow Booker kicked out. Bigelow went for Powerbomb, but Booker escaped and began to fight back before eventually hitting an Axe Kick around the nine minute mark.
Booker T gets his hand raised by the referee as he holds his ribs. Booker stands on the second rope and works the crowd before heading up the ramp as Bigelow kicks the ropes in the ring.
* Tony Schiavone says that he just got word that something is going on in the backstage area. The camera scans the crowd for a few seconds as we try to get a camerman backstage. Mike Awesome is shown rushing down the hallway with Tygress over his shoulder. She is screaming for help, but nobody is around to help her. Awesome leaves the arena and puts Tygress down on the ground at a car. Awesome opens the car door and pulls out the driver before tossing the driver off a wall. He throws Tygress is in the back of the car and he sits in the drivers seat. The arena door swings open and Lance Storm comes running out. He quickly gets in the car and yells for Awesome to go. The car pulls off and then we see BG James and Konnan come running out the arena. They throw down their lead pipes in anger.
* The WCW World Heavyweight Champion, Scott Steiner is with Midajah and Pamela Paulshock backstage. Pamela asks Steiner if he is in the slightest bit intimidated by Sting since Sting has been getting into the head of Steiner as of late. Steiner yells at Pamela that he isn't afraid of Sting, and he asked Ric Flair to book this match tonight so that he can prove to the world that he isn't afraid of Sting. Steiner assures us that tonight when the night is over, Sting will be afraid of Scott Steiner.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
* Sting, Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk def. WCW World Heavyweight Champion, Scott Steiner, Buff Bagwell[/b] and Lex Luger (w/ Midajah). - This match was actually a fun match to watch. Sting and Steiner really wanted to kill each other out there, but they never got in the ring at the same time. Sting looked to hit Luger with the Scorpion Death Drop, but Midajah distracted the referee and Steiner smashed Sting on the leg with a lead pipe. Sting dropped to the ground and Steiner began to repeatedly smash Sting's leg with the pipe. Midajah got off the apron just as Steiner left the ring. Luger crawled on top of Sting after a few seconds, but he was only able to get a two count as Sting kicked out. Sting pulled himself up using the ropes. Steiner charged at Sting, but Sting pulled down the top rope and Steiner went over and out. Sting took Luger down and locked in the Scorpion Death Lock. Luger tapped out, giving Sting and The Road Warriors the victory.
Midajah hands Steiner the WCW World Heavyweight Title as the duo storm up the ramp as Luger rolls out of the ring to Bagwell, who is waiting on the outside. The Road Warriors hug Sting as the show ends.[/font][/quote]

WCW Monday Nitro: Monday 11th June 2001...Not too grand of a way to open up this edition of Monday Nitro with BG James fighting Lance Storm. I hope you start to slowly build Storm up to the uppercard position. Liking this situation with Team Canada & BG James and Konnan. Wonder where Mike Awesome was. Hopefully Awesome and Storm aren't disbanding. Christopher Nowinski? Great. Hope he scholars Yoshihiro Tajiri or Kaz Hayashi. Some Asian with little mic skills but alot of talent. That'd be nice. Good victory for the WCW World Cruiserweight Champion, Chavo Guerrero Jr over Jason Jett as Jett isn't too over I don't think. Personally, this would of been the best way to open up Nitro if I'm honest. Sure, Storm and James are more over, but cruiserweight matches commonly opened and the fans got a buzz off of them; the cruiserweights were indeed reliable to get the crowd pumped up. Great ten-man tag team match with the cruiserweights being showcased further. Actually, scratch Jason Jett/Chavo Guerrero Jr opening up, this match would of done just fantastic. Three Count disassembled? Damn. Just please don't let Billy Kidman, Shane Helms, AJ Styles or Rey Mysterio soon get lost in the cruiserweight division. Liking Elix Skipper and Kid Romeo's reign as WCW Cruiserweight Tag Team Champions thus far, though. I just hate Sonny Siaki. Air Paris! Get in there! Keep him onscreen please, he was fantastic. Styles vs Paris for Thunder would be amazing. Great victory for Booker T over Bam Bam Bigelow, would have been a great match. Lastly, solid six-man tag team main event that got the Road Warriors and Sting over. A decent show overall, nice to see this back.
