-Don't know who Hidaka is but if he's taking the division by storm then I'm sure he's good. Nice to see him get the win -Wait...Chris Harris? Wildcat Chris Harris? Braden Walker? James Storm as well? I missed a lot I see. Anyway, nice to see Crowbar gain a win -The Daffney/Crowbar feud is actually very interesting -Not a fan of AJ being the one to tap out, but I like that he pushed Paris away after the match -Nice to see O'Haire last 13 minutes with Henning, but obviously Henning winning was the right call -Not a very good main event in my opinion. Don't think it would've been a good match to be honest, like that Douglas won though
Decent Thunder, but Thunder was never meant to be an excellent show. Your Thunders are much better than the actual ones we saw in '00-'01.

WCW Thunder: Thursday 14th June 2001...Alright, should be a good main event between Rick Steiner and Shane Douglas. Ikuto Hidaka seems like a decent cruiserweight, though I haven't heard alot about him, good opening bout with him overcoming Lash LeRoux, however. LeRoux was good, but obviously Hidaka needed the victory. Crowbar beating Chris Harris is fine, but why in a hardcore match? Hmm, was alright, however. Daffnew and Crowbar fuding? That sounds unique and not sure what will happen with it. Cash and Jamie Noble win! Cash and Jamie Noble win! I see Air Raid disbanding soon, just so AJ Styles can get built up. Just don't let Air Paris lack behind to job. Curt Hennig beating Sean O'Haire is fine, glad O'Haire put up a fight too. Shane Douglas and Rick Steiner would have a nice old-school stylematch. Douglas winning is the best decision, and a decent show it was overall.

[/b] and Kid Romeo, Yang, Jamie Knoble , Sonny Siaki, Shane Helms, Billy Kidman, AJ Styles and Rey Misterio, Jr. - The cruiserweights kicked off the show in typical WCW fashion. This was a great way to kick start the show as the crowd just ate it up. There was alot of spots, including Yang eliminating himself when he took Kid Romeo, Elix Skipper and Jamie Knoble out with a Moonsault to the outside. Ikuto Hidaka shocked everyone when he took Rey Misterio, Jr. out to win the match.
Ikuto drops to his knees afterwards. The crowd cheer him on as Rey Misterio, Jr. doesn't look too happy on the outside. Scott Hudson sends us to the backstage area where Pamela Paulshock is standing by with Crowbar!
* Pamela Paulshock, who was looking fab-u-luz, was standing by backstage with Crowbar. Pamela asked Crowbar how he is feeling about having to wrestle Daffney. Crowbar tells Pamela that he wasn't feeling too good about it, but then he reliased everything that Daffney done to him in the past, and it will be his honour to kick her psycho ass from one end of the arena to the other.
* A video plays recapping the recent events of Daffney and Crowbar.
* Falls Count Anywhere: Crowbar def. Daffney. - Surprisingly, this match was actually really, really good. At first, Crowbar didn't want to hit Daffney but after she didn't hesitate to smack him, he retaliated by knocking her down with a forearm. These two battled all around the arena, with Daffney actually dominating Crowbar with all sorts of weapons. The pair eventually brawled up the stairs in the crowd and into the lobby. The pair ended up fighting in the casino of the arena. Daffney launched a stool from a slot machine at Crowbar, but Crowbar moved out of the way and the stool bounced off the slot machine. Money began to pour out and Daffney frantically got a money bucket and let the money fall into the box in a comedy moment. Crowbar walked up behind her and spun her round before hitting her with a Double Arm DDT on the floor for the victory.
Crowbar heads out of the casino, holding his ribs as the camera focuses on Daffney, who is looking mega pissed off. She gets to her feet while grunting as we cut back to ringside.
* Scott Hudson, Tony Schiavone and Mike Tenay congratulate Crowbar on his victory, and the pair share a laugh about Daffney running straight into the slot machine. They send us to the back, where Pamela Paulshock standing by with the WCW Cruiserweight Champion Chavo Guerrero, Jr.
* The camera cuts backstage and we see Chavo Guerrero, Jr. with Scott Norton. Pamela tells Chavo that tonight he must be nervous because Yoshihiro Tajiri has his number. Chavo stops Pamela and tells her that Yoshihiro Tajiri doesn't have his number, and he isn't afraid in the slightest of losing to Tajiri. Pamela asks Chavo how he can't be afraid of losing his Cruiserweight Title to Yoshihiro. Chavo grins before pointing at Scott Norton.
* WCW Cruiserweight Championship: WCW Cruiserweight Champion, Chavo Guerrero, Jr. (w/ Scott Norton) def. Yoshihiro Tajiri. - Mexico's Chavo Guerrero took on Japan's Yoshihiro Tajiri for a fantastic cruiserweight contest. Both men mat wrestled in the early going, but the fan favourite Tajiri took control after a thunderous Falcon Kick to Guerrero. Tajiri took out the referee after nailing him with a Spinning Heel Kick. Chavo went after Tajiri, but Tajiri sprayed some sort of red mist in his eyes, leaving Chavo screaming at ringside. Scott Norton got into the ring and hit Tajiri with a huge clothesline before hitting a Powerbomb. Chavo crawled back into the ring and made the cover just as the referee recovered. The referee counted three. Chavo Guerrero retains!
The referee hands Chavo Guerrero, Jr. the Cruiserweight Title. Chavo raises the title above him before rubbing his eyes because the red mist is still on his face. Chavo crouches at Tajiri and begins to yell in his face before leaving the ring with Scott Norton.
* We cut to a pretaped segment where we see Lance Storm and Mike Awesome, the WCW Canadian Tag Team Champions, and Tygress sightseeing in Canada. They are posing at various places in Toronto such as The Skydome and The CN Tower, with Tygress not looking pleased at all. This was pretty much a comedic video. We see them in a restaurant and Storm and Awesome order Canadian Chicken Wings. Tygress orders Mexican Chicken Wings to Storm's dissatisfaction. Storm grabs her by the hand and the trio storm out the restaurant, ending the video.
* WCW Canadian Tag Team Championships: WCW Canadian Tag Team Champions, Lance Storm and Mike Awesome (w/ Tygress) def. BG James and Konnan. - Team Canada and The Filthy Animals put on an outstanding tag team match, that in my opinion, was the second best match of the night after Jeff Jarrett vs. Shane Douglas vs. Booker T. The match started off with The Filthy Animals taking the fight to Team Canada on the ramp as Tygress, who had a Canadian flag dress on, cheered on Konnan and BG. BG almost got the win after a Pumphandle Slam on Storm, but Awesome made the save. Storm got the win when he hit the Superkick on BG and grabbed the tights for leverage.
Afterwards, Team Canada, along with Tygress, quickly left the ring. Konnan took a microphone and started to disrespect Team Canada. Konnan called them cowards and demanded that they bring Tygress back to the ring before they burn the Canadian flag, right here, right now! BG takes the Canadian flag that Storm had left at ringside. Storm got handed a microphone from arena staff and he told Konnan and BG that if they even think about burning the Canadian flag, then they will never get their hands on Tygress again. Team Canada head down the ramp as BG and Konnan head up the ramp. Both teams begin to brawl and eventually they end back in the ring. A huge women slowly entered the ring, as The Filthy Animals and Tygress had their back to her. She clobbered Tygress over the head as BG and Konnan looked on in disbelief. Storm and Awesome attacked BG and Konnan from behind before the women grabbed Tygress and hit her with a Chokeslam. Team Canada and the women celebrated in the ring as BG James, Konnan and Tygress lay motionless.
* Pamela Paulshock is shown backstage with the Cruiserweight Champion, Chavo Guerrero, Jr. and Scott Norton. Chavo says that Yoshihiro Tajiri paid for sparying that mist in his eyes, and if Ikuto Hidaka thinks he stands a chance against him, then he better think things through again because he's going to wipe the ring with him when he gets his title shot.
* Daffney is shown storming down the hallway, not looking pleased. She walks by Hugh Morrus, Lash LeRoux, The Wall and Major Gunns, collectively known as The Misfits In Action. The group are all sn*ggering at Daffney, who turns around and glances at Major Gunns. Daffney charges at her and spears her ontop of a table. She begins to punch away at Gunns and slamming her head on the table before she is pulled off her by The Wall. Daffney runs off down the corridor screaming as Major Gunns gets to her feet. The Misfits check on Gunns, who is favouring the back of her head.
* WCW United States Championship: WCW United States Champion, Jeff Jarrett def. Booker T and Shane Douglas (w/ Torrie Wilson). - These three finally locked up for the U.S Championship, and they certainly put on a great contest. The fact that Torrie Wilson was at ringside gave the match bonus points. Booker T looked to take home the gold after hitting Jarrett with the Book-End, but Shane Douglas was able to just break up the count. Douglas went to finish Booker off with the Franchiser, but Booker reversed it and hit the Book-End. This time it would be Jarrett just breaking up the count. In the end, Jarrett was able to outsmart Douglas and Booker as after Douglas hit Booker with the Pittsburgh Plunge, Jarrett distracted the referee as the crowd counted Douglas' pinfall. Torrie Wilson stormed over to Jarrett and got into a brief argument with her before shoving her aside. Douglas came over to the ropes but recieved a guitar shot for his troubles as the referee checked on Booker. Jarrett crawled into the ring and pinned Booker for the victory.
Jarrett crawls to the side of the ring and slides out. He snatches the U.S Championship from ring announcer Dave Penzer and begins to make his way to the back while holding the title belt above him. The camera shows Shane Douglas, who is just infront of the announcers table. He kicks the steel steps in anger as Torrie Wilson tries to calm him down. Mike Tenay sends us to the back.
* Pamela Paulshock is in the locker room of The Magnificent Seven. The group are all celebrating Jarrett retaining the title. Pamela is sitting beside Ric Flair, who is dressed to wrestle, as tonight him and Curt Hennig will take on The Road Warriors, Animal and Hawk! Ric Flair says that the The M7 are 1-0 tonight, and when they leave Las Vegas, they will be 3-0. Woo~!
* A graphic is shown hyping Ric Flair and Curt Hennig vs. The Road Warriors. A video then plays with the backstory to the match.
* Ric Flair and Curt Hennig (w/ Midajah) def. Road Warrior Animal[/color] and Road Warrior Hawk. (Submission) - This wasn't expected to be too good of a match, but both teams managed to put on quite an entertaining bout. The crowd absolutely loved The Road Warriors and anytime Flair and Hennig had control, they were just showered with boos. In the shock win of the night, Ric Flair low blowed Hawk and took him down before locking in the Figure Four and Hawk tapped out after Hennig stopped Animal from breaking it up.
Ric Flair, Curt Hennig and Midajah celebrate on the ramp as Animal and Hawk shake their heads in the ring. It's believed that Hawk and Animal lost because Hawk isn't an actual member of the WCW roster as he has yet to renew his contract with the company and WCW management aren't likely to renew his contract. It's still unknown if this is the last time we will see Hawk, or Animal, in WCW.
* WCW World Heavyweight Championship: Sting def. WCW World Heavyweight Champion, Scott Steiner (w/ Midajah). - Sting and Scott Steiner worked a decent match at best, that wasn't as good as I expected it to be. Steiner dominated in the early going, but Sting took control after taking down The Champ with a Clothesline. Midajah done all she could to make sure Steiner retained, including tossing Steiner Sting's bat, but Sting avoided the bat shot and instead speared Steiner to the ground. Steiner regained control and looked to finish Sting off with the Steiner Recleiner, but Sting went through Steiner's legs and chop blocked him down. Sting then hit the Scorpion Death Drop for the three count!
Sting drops to his knees afterwards as the referee hands him the WCW World Heavyweight Championship! The camera shows Midajah, who does not look pleased in the slightest. Sting celebrates with the title on the second turnbuckle before the camera shows Jeff Jarrett, Buff Bagwell, Lex Luger, Rick Steiner, Curt Hennig and Ric Flair all running down the ramp. The six men slide into the ring and run to Sting. The champ knocks down them all except Ric Flair, who gets down on his knees and begs Sting for mercy. Just as Sting is about to hit Flair, Midajah low blows Sting as the crowd throw their trash at her. Scott Steiner hits a belly-to-belly before shoving the referee out of the ring and then locking in the Steiner Recleiner. The lights go out in the arena and the very familiar music of Goldberg plays. To the crowd surprise, Goldberg comes charging down the ramp to the biggest reaction of the night! Goldberg gets into the ring and takes The Magnificent Seven down one by one. Scott Steiner is about to be speared when Midajah runs in the way. Goldberg looks around for a few seconds before charging at her. To everyone in the arenas shock, and pleasure, she takes a vicious Spear as the crowd pop big time at the bitch getting taken down. Sting hits Luger with the Scorpion Death Drop while Goldberg hits Bagwell with the Jackhammer at the same time. Goldberg and Sting are left standing tall at the end of the PPV! GOLDBERG IS BACK IN WCW~!![/font][/quote]

WCW Great American Bash: Sunday 17th June 2001...Great opening contest to start off the event with the cruiserweights competing in a battle royal. I really need to check out this Ikuto Hidaka guy. I really know next to nothing about him. Ahah, I liked the falls count anywhere match between Crowbar and Daffney, a very original decision and not too Vince Russo like, yet a bit of Russo thought. I like it so who cares. Did serve as a nice filler match. Chavo Guerrero Jr beating Yoshihiro Tajiri is good as Chavo as WCW World Cruiserweight Champion is and was great, he needs a lengthy run in my opinion. Never could see BG James and Konnan becoming WCW Canadian Tag Team Champions, and so I'm glad that Team Canada consisting of Lance Storm and Mike Awesome retained the belts. Sweet triangle match for the WCW US Heavyweight Championship and it felt like a worthy decision having Jeff Jarrett beating Booker T and Shane Douglas. The tag team match between Ric Flair and Curt Hennig & The Road Warriors wouldn't of been a good match but set us up for the main event. I really think that this should end Hawk and Animal's relationship with WCW. A grand main event with Sting winning the WCW World Heavyweight Championship from Scott Steiner. Steiner had a fantastic run, but it was time to let go. The brawl is good but it ends every pay-per-view between Magnificent Seven and WCW main eventers, so hopefully this is the last one. Goldberg returning is great though. Good show overall.

I haven't been following, but I'll try and reply as best I can.
Never really been a huge fan of Ikuto Hidaka, but him picking up the win is interesting; I expected somebody like Rey Misterio Jr. to win. Daffney running straight into the slot machine, LOL. I'm glad to see that Crowbar picked up the win over Daffney. Glad that Chavo retained the Cruiserweight Championship, always been a fan - Hope to see Tajiri pick up the belt down the line though.
Glad that Storm & Awesome retained the Canadian Tag Team Championships, wonder who the mystery woman is? Glad that Jarrett walked away United States Champion, not a huge fan of Douglas or Booker T. Flair picking up the win, woo. Glad to see Sting win the World Championship! - GOLDBERG. Awesome.
Good show, I'm gonna be keeping up with this.

-Still don't know who Hidaka is, so I'm surprised he won -Figured Crowbar would win, but glad it was a good match. I like their whole rivalry -Surprised Chavo won, but with Norton at his side, he makes for a great heel Champion -I love that Awesome & Storm are called the WCW Canadian Tag Team Champions, glad they won though. They're great -Wonder who was the big woman to help Team Canada -Daffney attacking Major Gunns was good stuff as well -Flair & Henning winning was the right call, especially since Hawk isn't a regular member of the roster -Yes! You put the World Title on Sting. Thank god, I was getting tired of Steiner. Goldberg returning is huge news and the Spear on Midajah was sick
Good PPV, love the Goldberg return and Sting winning the World Title. Can't wait to see this continue.

GAB 2001 Review: - I have no idea who Ikuto is, but he defeated quite a few good wrestlers in that match. Interesting to see that for sure. - Solid Falls Count Anywhere match, though WCW would never have male on female violence but hey, that was stupid anyway. - Chavo/Tajiri would be a great match in 2001. Norton getting involved to help Chavo was alright. Guess the finish doesn’t hurt Tajiri. - Like Storm/Awesome retaining the straps over James/Konnan which had been built up very well. - Curious as to who the heck the mystery woman is. - Solid finish to the triple threat match, but would have liked to see Douglas pick up the win. - Very surprised to see Hawk tapping out. Though seeing that they were released afterwards, that make sense to damage them severely. - Surprised to see Sting go over, cleanly. Goldberg back and spearing Midajah was a good touch. - Solid PPV.

WCW Monday Nitro: (June 18, 2001)
The opening video airs. The camera focuses on the announce table where Scott Hudson and Tony Schiavone welcome us to the broadcast. They tell us what we can expect to see tonight. Rick Steiner and the United States Champion, Jeff Jarrett of The Magnificent Seven will team up to challenge Goldberg and the new World Champion, Sting in tonights main event. The music of The Magnificent Seven hits and Ric Flair leads Lex Luger, Buff Bagwell, Rick Steiner and the WCW United States Champion, Jeff Jarrett down the ramp. Ric Flair gets into the ring and wonders who the hell Goldberg thinks he is if he thinks he can lay a finger on him, the CEO of WCW. Ric Flair says that Midajah and Scott Steiner aren't here tonight because Midajah is still suffering from the Spear Goldberg gave her last night. Flair says that in tonights Nitro main event, Goldberg will team with Sting to take on Rick Steiner and Jeff Jarrett! Flair then promises that it's only a matter of time before Scott Steiner reclaims what is rightfully his - the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. COMMERCIAL BREAKChavo Guerrero, Jr. (w/ Scott Norton) b. Ikuto Hidaka to retain the WCW Cruiserweight Championship.[/color] - Fresh off a big win last night at The Great American Bash, the young Ikuto Hidaka challenged Chavo Guerrero, Jr. for the WCW Cruiserweight Championship in the opening contest live on Nitro. Chavo looked to finish Ikuto off with a Gory Bomb, but Hidaka reversed it into a Sunset Flip Powerbomb. Chavo was able to kick out at the last second, however. Ikuto climbed to the top rope, looking to finish Chavo off. However, Scott Norton shoved Ikuto off the turnbuckle and Chavo quickly hit a Brainbuster for the victory. Chavo lies down on the matt, exhausted. Scott Norton takes the Cruiserweight Title from ringside and slides into the ring with it. He picks Chavo up and hands him the title as the crowd boo. Scott Hudson talks about how if it wasn't for Scott Norton then he believes Ikuto Hidaka would be the Cruiserweight Champion right now. The camera focuses on Ikuto, who is sprawled out in the ring. COMMERCIAL BREAKPamela Paulshock is standing by backstage with Hugh Morrus, The Wall and Major Gunns of The Misfits In Action. Pamela asks Hugh Morrus if him and The Wall are prepared for their tag team match against Mark Jindrak and Shawn Stasiak, otherwise known as Stasirak. Morrus talks about the match and says that he doesn't want to be in Mark Jindrak or Shawn Stasiak's shows tonight. Shawn Stasiak and Mark Jindrak def. Hugh Morrus and The Wall (w/ Major Gunns).- The team of Shawn Stasiak and Mark Jindrak are quite possibly the two cockiest Superstars on the WCW roster. They were managed by Jimmy Hart the last time they appeared on WCW, but Jimmy Hart wasn't with them tonight for unknown reasons. The M.I.A looked on form tonight, especially The Wall. Daffney, who had an altercation with Major Gunns this past Sunday, came down to ringside, causing a distraction to Hugh Morrus. Shawn Stasiak took advantage of this and hit Morrus with a Hangman's Neckbreaker for the three count. Shawn Stasiak and Mark Jindrak celebrate at ringside as they head up the ramp, while Hugh Morrus looks around in complete shock. Daffney goes after Major Gunns in the ring, but Hugh Morrus gets in the way, stopping Daffney from getting Major Gunns. Morrus grabs Daffney by the hair and looks around as the crowd go wild and Daffney begs for mercy. The Wall attacks Hugh Morrus to the shock of everyone - except Daffney who begins to scream in the face of Morrus, just taunting him. The Wall hits Morrus with a Chokeslam as Major Gunns watches on from outside the ring. Daffney and The Wall begin to make out above a fallen Hugh Morrus. We cut to the parking lot where we see Goldberg entering the arena. There is several fans wanting his autograph and he signs a few of them before making his way inside the arena. Tony Schiavone reminds us that tonight will be Goldberg's first match in a WCW ring since Sin back in January. COMMERCIAL BREAKChavo Guerrero, Jr. is shown swaggering down the hallway with Scott Norton right behind him, and the Cruiserweight Title hanging over his shoulder. The Cat appears infront of Chavo, to the crowds delight. The Cat tells Chavo that he is sick and tired of Chavo winning week in and week out because of Scott Norton. He says that Norton helped Chavo retain against Shane Helms, Yoshihiro Tajiri and Ikuto Hidaka as of late, so he's taking matters into his own hands. The Cat announces that at Bash at the Beach, it will be Chavo Guerrero, Jr. vs. Shane Helms vs. Ikuto Hidaka vs. Yoshihiro Tajiri in a four way match for the Cruiserweight Title! Chavo has a mini-tantrum in the hallway, telling The Cat that he cannot do that. The Cat goes to walk off before he walks back into the camera range. He lets Chavo and Scott Norton know that Scott Norton will be banned from ringside! Both Norton and Chavo aren't pleased at all. I think somebody should 'call his mama'. Billy Kidman (w/ Rey Misterio, Jr.) def. Kid Romeo (w/ Elix Skipper).- Billy Kidman of The Filthy Animals took on one-half of the WCW Cruiserweight Tag Team Champions in Kid Romeo in what turned out to be an explosive singles match. Romeo just picked Kidman apart in the early going, but after a BK Bomb out of nowhere, Kidman took control. Kidman looked to finish Romeo off with a Shooting Star Press, but Elix Skipper got on the apron to pull Kidman off. However, Rey Misterio, Jr. pulled Skipper off and floored him with a forearm, allowing Kidman to hit the Shooting Star Press for the victory. Billy Kidman favours his ribs as the referee raises his hand. Rey Misterio, Jr. slides into the ring and hugs Kidman as the crowd cheer them on. COMMERCIAL BREAKThe music of Team Canada begins to play and Lance Storm, Mike Awesome and the mystery women make their way down the ramp to a large amount of heat from the crowd. Lance Storm takes a microphone and runs down the crowd, their city and their country. Storm then says that while they're on the subject of disgusting countries, he thinks it's an outrage that Nitro will be broadcast from Mexico next week. Lance Storm then talks about how last night at The Great American Bash, him and Mike Awesome beat BG James and Konnan. Storm says the highlight of the match was when his best female friend debuted and wrapped her hand around Tygress' skinny little neck and hit her with a thunderous chokeslam. Storm says that her name is Melissa Coates and she, like him and Mike Awesome, is a Canadian citizen and hates America. Storm goes to continue, but the music of The Filthy Animals hits and BG James, Konnan and Tygress appear at the top of the ranp to a fantastic reception from the crowd. Konnan tells Lance Storm to shut the hell up, and that everyone is sick and tired of listening to him. Storm and Konnan have a battle of words before Konnan disrespects Canada, which done nothing but piss Lance off. Konan says him and BG want a rematch - Storm then said that he can't think of a better thing than to humiliate him and BG James in Mexico with the WCW Canadian Tag Titles on the line. It's official - Team Canada vs. The Filthy Animals for the tag titles next week on Nitro! COMMERCIAL BREAKBooker T def. Chris Kanyon.- Booker T, who came up short on winning the U.S Championship last night at The Great American Bash, took on Chris Kanyon tonight on Nitro, in what turned out to be an outstanding contest. Booker is way over with the crowd, and they just eat up anything Booker does out there. Kanyon used alot of dirty tactics, which got him unreal amounts of heat from the crowd. Kanyon went for a Diving Crossbody, but Booker dropkicked him in mid-air, which looked fantastic. Booker then sized Kanyon up and nailed the Axe Kick for the victory! The referee raises Booker T's hand after the bout. Booker gets down on his knees and performs the Spin-A-Roonie to the crowds delight. The camera shows Chris Kanyon, who is still sprawled out in the ring. Booker T climbs onto the second rope and works the crowd. Daffney and The Wall are backstage in a dark, secluded part of the arena. Pamela Paulshock slowly approaches the duo and asks The Wall why he turned his back on The Misfits In Action. Daffney cuts Pamela off and says that his name isn't The Wall, and it never has been The Wall. She says his name his Malice and that he doesn't have to explain himself to some skank like her. Christopher Nowinski, who has had hype videos played for himself lately, appears out nowhere and shakes hands with Daffney and Malice and introduces himself. He says that he is the smartest man on the roster, and he can help Daffney and Malice stay on the right path. He walks off with Daffney and Malice, leaving Pamela all alone. COMMERCIAL BREAKPamela Paulshock is standing backstage at the interview set with Jeff Jarrett, Rick Steiner and Ric Flair of The Magnificent Seven. The trio hype up Jarrett and Steiner's main event tag team contest against Sting and Goldberg. Flair says that back at Sin, Buff Bagwell and Lex Luger forced Sting into retirement and if Sting wants to come out of retirement, then it's fine by him, because just like the rest of the roster, he'll be getting his ass kicked by The Magnificent Seven. Sting and Goldberg def. Rick Steiner and Jeff Jarrett (w/ Ric Flair).- The team of Rick Steiner and Jeff Jarrett seemed awfully cocky out there tonight. This was Goldberg's first match in a WCW ring since January 14th at Sin, and he just unleashed everything on Steiner and Jarrett. Rick Steiner fell victim to a huge Spear from Goldberg and Jarrett broke the pin up. Sting then sent Jarrett to the outside and the pair wrestled on the outside while Goldberg hit Steiner with the Jackhammer for the victory! Goldberg and Sting celebrate together, as Rick Steiner and Jeff Jarrett stagger up the ramp together. Ric Flair is at the bottom of the ramp, fuming with rage. He takes off his jacket and tosses it to the ground before stomping on it. Flair begins to yell to Goldberg that he should be retired over and over. Scott Hudson tells us to tune into Nitro next week where the show will broadcast live from Mexico City, Mexico!

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikuto_Hidaka for those who keep saying they don't know who he is. Nitro was fun Jordan. Chavo Guerrero retaining the Cruiserweight Championship makes sense, happy that Hidaka is in the match at the next ppv, would be great to see Tajiri win the belt though. Shawn Stasiak was highly underrated in WWF, as well was Mark Jindrak in my opinion, nice to see them win the tag match, give The Wall a good singles push soon please. Kidman over Romero makes sense, as does Booker T over Chris Kanyon. Huge main event and Goldberg hitting the Jackhammer on Scott Steiner sounds awesome.

-I'm enjoying the Magnificent Seven stable and tonight's main event sounds good -Ikuto's looked really good in this diary, but man am I loving Chavo here. Pairing him with Norton was a great idea -Stasiak and Jindrak winning was good, although I'm not a fan of either guy -The post match stuff was interesting but I was never a fan of The Wall, so pairing him with Daffney isn't too good in my opinion -The Four Way match at Bash at the Beach sounds awesome to be honest -Kidman over Romeo makes sense, but I did love the Romeo/Skipper team -Good Team Canada promo, I goolged Melissa Coates and man, she is not attractive. Anyway, next week's Tag Title match should be great -Booker over Kanyon is good, hopefully Booker gets pushed to the World Title soon -Renaming The Wall Malice was a smart move and bringing in Nowinski is awesome, I miss him -Great main event, there was no way the Dream Team of Sting & Goldberg would lose
Very good Nitro, I hope this sticks around for a long time. Just a note, you have the Souled Out logo where the Bash at the Beach logo should be.

Do you have like a roster split? If so, great idea. If not, then why are some of the names certain colors?
Much like alot of the other people here, I'm not sure who Hidaka is, even after following Hammers' link. It doesn't seem to WCW-ish to push a not so well known name this far.
Glacier getting released is okay. Flair, not so much. Road Warriors also.
Ill try to keep up with this more now,

There is no brand split. Thunder shows are coloured blue and Nitro shows are coloured red. At The Great American Bash, I had coloured it red and blue to give it an American feel. Also, in WCW's dying days, they began to push younger stars. Thanks for the feedback everyone.

WCW Monday Nitro: Monday 18th June 2001...Alright, attempt numero dos at replying to this show, haha. A decent opening promo to start things off as it perfectly suits, the Magnificent Seven coming out as Ric Flair complains about Scott Steiner deserving the WCW World Heavyweight Championship back. My only problem with the main event is, when you got Jeff Jarrett, an uppercard star, and Rick Steiner, a good tag team worker failed as solo wrestler against your WCW World Heavyweight Champion and your most over babyface, you just know who is going to win. Nice defense by Chavo Guerrero Jr of the WCW World Cruiserweight Championship as I don't feel Ikuto Hidaka would be over enough, but I do like Scott Norton's continuous involvement in giving Chavo these successful title defenses. I wish that Hugh Morrus and The Wall were given more than just being your local jobbers-to-the-stars, but it was a fairly eventful win for Shawn Stasiak and Mark Jindrak, wasn't too bad a match I'd feel, but a bit of an awkward size difference [Wall is lanky, Stasiak and Jindrak are buff and Morrus is wide]. Wow, Wall attacking Morrus is great, just please make Morrus look credible. The guy was WCW US Heavyweight Champion six months ago dammit! Nice idea for Chavo to face the challengers of a champion's past in a four-way-dance at Bash at the Beach without Scott Norton being around. Billy Kidman beating Kid Romeo is fine, was a good match to elevate the WCW Cruiserweight Tag Team Championships scene, but really, this division is holding back Kidman and Rey Misterio Jr. They both should be reaching further than this. If you seperated them, to be fair it wouldn't be a massive loss. Should be a decent match next week in Mexico City, Mexico. You should have a luchadore from AAA or CMLL challenge for a title, or even have Rey Misterio Jr challenge for the WCW US Heavyweight Championship, just to simply milk it like WCW would have done. This announcement for the WCW Canadian Tag Team Championships next week in Mexico between Team Canada & Konnan and BG James merely confirms we're getting new champs next week and Konnan and BG were poor in the ring around this point. Booker T and Chris Kanyon should be getting in the high ranks. If this diary spanned out to June 2002, I could totally see Kanyon or Booker getting into the WCW World Heavyweight Championship scene. As predicted, Sting and Goldberg beating Steiner and Jarrett is fine. A decent show overall, just milk the hell out of the Mexican Monday Nitro.

WCW Thursday Thunder: (- June 21 2001) The opening Thunder video plays before we cut to the arena. The camera pans around the arena before focusing on Mike Tenay and Mark Madden, who are our announce team for tonight. Elix Skipper and Kid Romeo def. Yang and Kaz Hayashi.[/color] - Even although both these teams are heels, the team of Yang and Hayashi played the face/tweener role. This was an outstanding cruiserweight tag team contest, and the crowd really got behind Yang and Hayashi due to their aerial moves. Romeo pinned Yang after kneeing him in the gut and connecting with the Romeo Relaxer. Kid Romeo takes both Cruiserweight Tag Titles and meets Elix Skipper at the bottom of the ramp. He hands Skipper his title and the pair raise their titles. They begin to pose on the ramp as we go to the first commercial of the night. COMMERCIAL BREAKPamela Paulshock is backstage with Hugh Morrus and Major Gunns. Morrus recaps Malice attacking him on Nitro. He says that Malice turned his back on The M.I.A and he's going to regret that because at Bash at the Beach, it will be him taking on Malice! Hugh Morrus (w/ Major Gunns) def. Vampiro.[/color] - Vampiro took on an angry Hugh Morrus tonight in a decent singles match. Vampiro looked to finish Morrus after he busted him open with a vicious knee to the temple, but Morrus was able to get the shoulder up. Morrus looked to hit the No Laughing Matter. Vampiro attempted to roll out of the way, but instead Morrus' knees caught him in what looked awfully painful. Morrus covered Vampiro in what everyone knew wasn't to be the ending to the match, but Vampiro was legit hurt. Morrus holds his ribs after the match as Major Gunns gets inside the ring. The referee checks on Vampiro as Mike Tenay and Mark Madden say that Vampiro appears to be injured. COMMERCIAL BREAKStacey Keibler and Scott Hudson are at the WCW Live Events Center! They talk about the next four WCW house shows; all of which will be in Mexico ahead of WCW holding Nitro and Thunder in Mexico City next week! They talk about who will be at the events. Scheduled to be on the tour is: Goldberg, Scott Steiner, Booker T, Jeff Jarrett, Shane Douglas, Torrie Wilson, The Filthy Animals, Team Canada plus many more of your favourite WCW Superstars! The music of The Filthy Animals hits and Tygress comes storming down the ramp dressed to wrestle. She gets into the ring and takes the microphone from Dave Penzer. She talks about Team Canada's "personal bitch" Melissa Coates before demanding she bring her fat ass down to the ring. After a few moments of silence, the music of Team Canada hits and Melissa Coates comes out from the back, laughing at Tygress. Melissa says that Tygress must be joking because if she does come down there, she'll make her roadkill. Tygress tells Melissa that if she isn't coming down to her, she's coming up to her. She throws the microphone down and leaves the ring and charges up the ramp. Melissa Coates def. Tygress.- When Tygress charged up the ramp to Melissa, she ran straight into a huge clothesline. Melissa then picked Tygress up off the ramp and clobbered her with a huge right hand. Melissa just toyed around with Tygress the entire contest, as anything Tygress threw at Melissa seemed to have little or no effect. When Tygress almost won with a roll-up, Melissa finally pinned Tygress following an Ura-nage. The referee raises Melissa Coates' hand in victory afterwards as Tygress lies on the matt. Coates takes her Canadian flag from ringside and wraps it around her to a lots of heat from the crowd. COMMERCIAL BREAKMike Tenay and Mark Madden welcome us back to WCW Thunder. They talk about WCW touring Mexico this week and next week and Nitro and Thunder being broadcasted from the Palacio De Los Deportes in Mexico City, Mexico. Mike Tenay says that he cannot wait to go to Mexico City and meet all the great WCW fans. Mark Jindrak and Shawn Stasiak (w/ Jimmy Hart) def. Air Paris and AJ Styles.[/color] - Two of WCW's best young tag teams in Stasirak and Air Raid took to the ring for a thrilling tag team contest that just won the match of the night - just beating Romeo and Skipper vs. The Jung Dragons to the award. Jindrak hit Paris with a Backbreaker and kept him over his knee while Stasiak jumped off the second rope and hit a legdrop. Jindrak made the cover and got the victory. Jimmy Hart quickly enters the ring and celebrates with Stasiak and Jindrak. Stasirak seem pleased with their victory as does Jimmy Hart. The team confidently swagger up the ramp with Hart yelling into his megaphone. AJ Styles is standing in the ring, looking ticked off at the loss. Pamela Paulshock is backstage with Booker T. Booker hypes up his main event contest against Lex Luger of The Magnificent Seven which is up after the commercial break. Booker T runs down The M7 and Luger, calling them all suckas. COMMERCIAL BREAKBooker T def. Lex Luger.[/color] - An uneventful and slow match to bring Thunder to a close this week as Booker T took on Lex Luger. Luger had control in the early going of the match, just working on Booker's back. Luger looked to put Booker in the Torture Rack, but Booker escaped Luger's hold and began to lay into him with some rights and lefts. Booker put Luger away with an Axe Kick. Booker T celebrates post-match as the crowd give him a pretty big pop. Booker works the crowd from the second rope as Luger rolls out of the ring and heads up the ramp holding the back of his head.
