Pretty good opening tag match, I still always felt like that these belts didn't really serve a purpose. Women's match is good, speed vs. power always works. Coates needed to get back on the winning track anyway. Excited to see who will take on Melissa at Bash at the Beach, hope it is someone good. Henning/Bam Bam was a solid match. Like the interview from Henning after as well. Surprised Konnan/BG, not sure how I feel about Konnan pinning Luger. Luger was a former WCW Champion after all. Like Chavo trying to calm down Norton. Surprised Jarrett's team didn't win in the main event. Show was pretty good, I actually liked it more than Nitro aside from the whole ending part of Nitro.

WCW Presents "Nitro" July 9, 2001
The opening Monday Nitro video plays. Following that, some pyro goes off at the top of the ramp. Scott Hudson and Tony Schiavone welcome us to the show and they immediantly begin to hype tonights blockbuster main event which will see Sting defend his World Championship against Scott Steiner in a Great American Bash rematch!
1) Shane Helms, Ikuto Hidaka and Yoshihiro Tajiri def. WCW Cruiserweight Champion, Chavo Guerrero, Jr., Jamie Knoble and Cash (w/ Scott Norton)[/color]. - We kicked things off on Nitro with a solid six-person cruiserweight tag team contest. Shane Helms, Ikuto Hidaka and Yoshihiro Tajiri worked well tonight, considering they will all be facing off with Chavo Guerrero at Bash at the Beach for the Cruisrweight Title. Tajiri pinned Cash after a Buzzsaw Kick.
Yoshihiro Tajiri, Ikuto Hidaka and Shane Helms all raise each others hands afterwards before they all pull away wearily of each other. Chavo Guerrero, Jr. and Scott Norton head up the ramp as Chavo raises the Cruiserweight Title up.
* COMMERCIAL BREAK.[/i][/size]
The music of the former WCW CEO Ric Flair plays and he comes to the ring with his assistant Dawn Marie. Ric begins to rip on Eric Bischoff being the new President of WCW and firing him as the CEO. Flair then says that last week on Nitro, him nor Scott Steiner were prepared to wrestle and the tag team main event was completely unfair. Flair says that if he was prepared to wrestle then he would have never, EVER tapped out to Sting. Ric says that to prove he would never tap out to Sting, he wants him one on one at Bash at the Beach! The crowd go nuts as Flair tells Sting to get back to him!
* COMMERCIAL BREAK.[/i][/size]
Pamela Paulshock is backstage with Hugh Morrus, Major Gunns and Lash LeRoux. Pamela welcomes Lash back to WCW after he was sidelined at the hands of Malice. Hugh Morrus says that at Bash at the Beach it's not going to just be a wrestling match - it's going to be a WAR!
2) Hugh Morrus (w/ Major Gunns and Lash LeRoux) def. Christopher Nowinski (w/ Malice and Daffney)[/color]. - Pretty fun match here. Nowinski had control of the match early on, but Morrus took control after a nice dropkick to Nowinski. Daffney hopped onto the apron, but Major Gunns pulled her off and the pair rolled around on the ground as LeRoux and Malice tried to seperate them. Morrus slammed Nowinski with a Body Slam and then hit a Moonsault for the three count.
Post-match, Malice slid into the ring and took Morrus down with a Big Boot. Nowinski and Malice stomped away at Morrus as Lash LeRoux attempted to even the odds, but Nowinski clobbers LeRoux with brass knuckles. Malice, Daffney and Christopher Nowinski stand tall in the ring.
* COMMERCIAL BREAK.[/i][/size]
Midajah was shown walking throughout the hallway backstage. Eventually she stopped and the camera panned out to reveal Charles Robinson, a WCW referee. Midajah rubs her hands on Robinson's chest before putting some money in his hand and closing his fist. She then smiles at him and struts off.
3) WCW United States Champion, Jeff Jarrett def. Sean O'Haire. - Sean O'Haire really showcased to the world that he is capable of working as a singles wrestler and that he is definitely someone to keep an eye on. O'Haire almost got the upset victory over Jarrett with a Swanton Bomb, but Jarrett got his foot on the bottom rope. Jarrett pinned O'Haire after the Stroke.
Jarrett snatches his United States Title from the referee and raises it above him. He begins to yell in the face of a downed Sean O'Haire that the title is his as we go to the back.
Pamela Paulshock is backstage with Shane Douglas and Torrie Wilson. Douglas heavily hypes his United States Title match against Jeff Jarrett at Bash at the Beach. Douglas then promises that by the time Bash at the Beach is over, Jeff Jarrett will have been franchised!
* COMMERCIAL BREAK.[/i][/size]
4) WCW Cruiserweight Tag Team Championships: WCW Cruiserweight Tag Team Champions, Elix Skipper and Kid Romeo def. Jado and Gedo. - Jado and Gedo came to WCW with thanks to WCW's working relationship with NJPW and they challenged Elix Skipper and Kid Romeo for the Cruiserweight Tag Titles. Both teams put on a high-flying exhibit out there which got the crowd on their feet the entire bout. Gedo missed a Frog Splash and Skipper nailed an Overdrive for the victory.
Elix Skipper and Kid Romeo take their tag belts and celebrate with them as we cut to the backstage area.
Pamela Paulshock is backstage with "Big Poppa Pump" Scott Steiner and his valet, Midajah. Steiner promises to leave tonight a two-time WCW World Champion and put Sting back in hospital. Steiner then talks about Goldberg Spearing him last week on Nitro. Steiner issues the challenge to Goldberg for Bash at the Beach so that Steiner can prove to Goldberg who is the better man because nobody makes a fool of him. The WCW Commissioner, The Cat appears on the interview set and tells Scott Steiner that he is making Scott Steiner vs. Goldberg official, but if Steiner does indeed win the World Title tonight then that will be on the line at Bash at the Beach! Steiner flips out and begins to toss things around.
* COMMERCIAL BREAK.[/i][/size]
We see Ric Flair in his office with an unknown women who Ric calls "Alexis". There's a knock on the door before it swings open. The camera turns around to reveal Dawn Marie who looks shocked that Ric is talking to another female. Dawn gives Ric the papers she has before Ric introduces her to Alexis Laree. Dawn fakely smiles and tells Alexis to come outside with her for a moment. The pair go to head out and Ric shouts to Alexis to remember to come to town with him and The M7 tonight. The camera follows Dawn and Alexis outside. Dawn asks Alexis what the hell she is doing here. Alexis tells her that it's great to see her and that she's doing a great job. Dawn tells Alexis to cut the crap and that there is no room for her fat ass in The Magnificent Seven. Dawn tells Alexis to beat it to which Alexis smacks Dawn and then leaves, leaving Dawn clutching her face in shock.
5) Dustin Rhodes and Booker T def. Curt Hennig and Rick Steiner. - Curt Hennig and Booker T really went at it here, with Hennig trying to leave the arena several times but Booker and Dustin kept bringing him back. Booker and Curt eventually brawled to the top of the ramp while Rhodes and Rick fought inside the ring. Rhodes pinned Rick following the Lone Star State of Mind.
Dustin Rhodes gets his hand raised afterwards as Rick Steiner lies in the centre of the ring.
* COMMERCIAL BREAK.[/i][/size]
When Scott Steiner and Sting are both in the ring, the music of the President of WCW hits and Eric Bischoff comes out to a solid reception from the crowd. Eric comes down to the ring and says tells Charles Robinson that he isn't needed tonight. Everyone is confused until Eric removes his shirt to reveal a referee's top! Ric Flair flips out at ringside as does Scott Steiner. Eric says that he wants to referee this match and that Ric Flair and Midajah are ejected from ringside! Steiner, Midajah and Flair all freak out but they reluctantly leave.
6) WCW World Heavyweight Championship: Scott Steiner def. WCW World Heavyweight Champion, Sting. (TKO) - With Midajah and Ric Flair barred from ringside and Eric Bischoff as the guest referee, you would presume that the match shifted from Steiner's favour to Sting's. However, Eric did a good job in calling the match right down the middle. Sting went for a Scorpion Death Lock, but Steiner kicked him away. Steiner went for a T-Bone, but Sting elbowed him and went for the Scorpion Death Drop. Steiner reversed it by picking Sting up and hitting a Reverse Piledriver. Instead of pinning an already hurt Sting, Steiner locked in the Steiner Recleiner and Eric Bischoff had no choice but to ring the bell.
Scott Steiner immdiantly released the hold as Eric Bischoff reluctantly hands him the World Title. Steiner demands Eric raise his hand but Eric refuses. Steiner celebrates with the title on the second rope as Midajah and the rest of The Magnificent Seven flood down to the ring to celebrate with Steiner. Ric Flair begins to taunt Eric Bischoff from the ring. Just when it seemed like The Magnificent Seven had lost their power, they have regained posession of the World Title! Is this the demise of WCW?![/font]

- Good match to start the show off. Could see the crowd really getting into a six man cruiserweight match. - Flair/Sting at BATB could be good. They have fought like a million times, but it never gets too old. - Decent win for Morrus going into the PPV. - Glad to see O’Haire in singles matches and appearing to impress. I like him. - Decent Cruiserweight Tag Team Title match. Not that familiar with Gedo and Jado, though/ - Good segments with Cat/Steiner and Flair/Dawn/Alexis. - Good decision not to have Booker or Hennig involved in the decision. - Wow, I am shocked that Steiner won the belt! But I like it. Steiner/Goldberg at the PPV should be great. But, I don’t see Steiner losing the belt in six days.

Six-man tag match to open the show was ok. Flair/Sting at BOTB should be a good match, I like Flair's excuse/reasoning. Too bad Nowinski lost, hope you eventually do something with him. Glad Jarrett beat O'Haire. Skipper/Romeo winning was fine, I hope you can find some way to make me care about the cruiser tag team titles. Steiner/Goldberg is another nice PPV match. Nice tag match after. Steiner over Sting is cool, as it makes the power shift more interesting. But I'm not huge on the idea of Goldberg possibly losing at the PPV, it'd make him look weak. Interesting show.

WCW Presents "Thunder" July 12, 2001
The Thunder opening video plays and then pyro goes off. Mike Tenay and Mark Madden welcome us to the show before they hype tonights main event which will see Totally Buff take on Goldberg and Booker T!
1) Billy Kidman and Rey Misterio, Jr. (w/ Tygress) def. Shannon Moore and Evan Karagias and Cash and Jamie Knoble and Jado and Gedo. - Solid way to get the show going here with this four team match. It was hard to tell who was going to get the victory as anytime you thought the match was over, it wasn't. Shannon Moore was pinned after Billy Kidman hit him with the Shooting Star Press.
Tygress enters the ring and hugs both Rey Misterio, Jr. and Billy Kidman. The pair celebrate as Mike Tenay hypes up Kidman and Rey's Cruiserweight Tag Title match at Bash at the Beach.
* COMMERCIAL BREAK
Gene Okerlund is backstage with Pamela Paulshock who is wearing a tiara. Pamela tells Gene that last year on Nitro she won a bikini contest to become Miss WCW. Pamela says that next week, live on Nitro there will be the second ever Miss WCW bikini contest where the winner becomes Miss WCW. Gene asks Pamela if she's ready to fight off the competition to retain the crown. Pamela tells him she is before stripping down to her underwear and then heading off.
2) Bam Bam Bigelow def. Mike Sanders. - This was a quick and decisive win for the big man, Bam Bam Bigelow as Mike Sanders, who was extremely cocky, stood no chance. After a few minutes of tossing Sanders around the ring, Bigelow put him away with a thunderous (pun intended) Sitout Powerbomb.
The referee raises Bam Bam Bigelow's hand afterwards as Mike Sanders rolls out of the ring. The crowd give Bigelow quite a good reaction.
* COMMERCIAL BREAK
Dawn Marie was shown backstage with Ric Flair in Flair's locker room. Flair says that this Sunday he's going to make Sting tap to the Figure Four. Dawn doesn't seem too happy and Flair asks her what's up with her. She tells him Alexis Laree is what's up. She calls Alexis a slut and that she slapped her on Nitro. Flair says that Alexis doesn't seem like that kind of girl. Dawn flips out and says that something needs to be done. Dawn storms out where she meets Alexis who is entering the office. Alexis smiles at Dawn who flips out and storms down the hall.
3) Hugh Morrus (w/ Major Gunns) def. Vampiro. (Disqualification) - Nice back and forth contest here by Vampiro and Hugh Morrus, who had the gorgeous Major Gunns in his corner. Daffney and Malice came down the ramp together and while Malice didn't go in the ring, Daffney attacked Major Gunns and ripped her clothes off. This prompted Morrus to get off the top rope where he was going to hit a Moonsault. Morrus went over and started to yell at Daffney, who got off Gunns and ran away. Malice slid into the ring and when Morrus turned around he was greeted with a Big Boot.
Malice continues to punch and kick away at Hugh Morrus, who is defenceless. Lash LeRoux comes running down the ramp and as he climbs through the second rope, Vampiro sends him to the outside with a vicious kick to the side of the head. Malice and Vampiro look at each other before hugging and then Daffney, Malice and Vampiro raise each others hands above Morrus.
* COMMERCIAL BREAK
Gene Okerlund was standing backstage with Christopher Nowinski, Malice, Vampiro and Daffney. Nowinski is applauding the actions of Vampiro and Malice as he tells them that revenge is sweet and Hugh Morrus got a taste of that. Chris then tells Gene that Hugh Morrus hurt him and he paid the consequences.
A video plays hyping Bash at the Beach.
4) WCW United States Champion, Jeff Jarrett and WCW Canadian Tag Team Champions, Lance Storm and Mike Awesome (w/ Melissa Coates) def. Shane Douglas, Konnan and BG James (w/ Tygress and Torrie Wilson). - The crowd just ate this match up and who can blame them since the match featured six of WCW's most over talents. Shane Douglas continues to play the face role, as does his valet Torrie Wilson, and they both do a pretty good job at it. The heels were able to steel the win when Melissa Coates distracted the referee which allowed Jeff Jarrett to break a guitar over the head of BG James for the victory.
Jeff Jarrett celebrates in the ring at first, but when he sees Konnan and Shane Douglas enter the ring, Jarrett quickly escapes and Jarrett and Team Canada celebrate on the ramp together.
* COMMERCIAL BREAK
A video hypes Nitro with appearances from Scott Steiner, Goldberg and Ric Flair and the 2001 Miss WCW Bikini Contest!
The new WCW World Heavyweight Champion, Scott Steiner was backstage with Midajah. Gene Okerlund enters the room and asks for an interview. Scott Steiner says that he said he would reclaim his World Title and he did that. Steiner says Goldberg can bring his army of fans with him, but even they can't help Goldberg to beat The Big Bad Booty Daddy.
5) Dustin Rhodes def. Chris Kanyon. - This was a good match although alot of people saw it as the toilet break. Kanyon has been used sporadically on WCW TV and rumours have been floating around that something big is in the works for Kanyon in the coming months. Rhodes got the win after hitting the Lone Star State of Mind.
Just as the referee goes to raise Dustin Rhodes' hand afterwards, Rick Steiner of The Magnificent Seven slides into the ring with a chain wrapped around his fist. He smacks Rhodes on the back of the head and then begins to punch him on the face repeatedly. He then picked Dustin up and hit the Steiner Driver as the crowd boo. Rick is obviously out for revenge after Dustin pinned him this past week on Nitro.
Goldberg and Booker T are shown heading to the ring in a split screen video. They team together against Totally Buff and that's next!
* COMMERCIAL BREAK
6) Goldberg and Booker T def. Buff Bagwell and Lex Luger. - We closed down Thunder with a huge tag team contest that saw Goldberg team with Booker T to take on Totally Buff of The Magnificent Seven. Goldberg was eliminated from WCW at Sin back in January after he lost to Totally Buff so there is unsettled business between Goldberg and Totally Buff. Goldberg pinned Luger following the Jackhammer.
Goldberg and Booker T celebrate as Totally Buff argue on the outside. The show ends with the camera focusing on Goldberg and Mike Tenay hyping up Goldberg's match at Bash at the Beach against Scott Steiner for the World Title.

-Four way openers are always good choices, having Kidman & Rey go over was also good -A second Miss WCW contest is a realistic idea -Bigelow over Sanders is good, just didn't see the purpose of the match to be honest -Didn't even know you brought Alexis Laree in, but good job on that -The Malice/Morris feud is actually getting me interested in it although I never really liked either guy. I'm loving that Christopher Nowinski has his own stable -Six man tag was an awesome choice to main even the first hour, love that the Champions won as well -Dustin over Kanyon is good, and I wonder if something big is actually planned for Kanyon in the future. Rick Steiner attacking Dustin made sense -Goldberg and Booker winning the big main event was obvious as their star power is way to big for them to lose to Luger & Buff
Very solid Thunder, with a good main event and a great six man tag, plus an excellent opener. Good stuff.

Pretty good opening match, the right team won. Random segment after. Bam Bam victory was good to see. Dawn/Alexis is cool. Really good six-man tag, cool finish with JJ hitting his former WWF manager with the guitar. Rhodes/Kanyon was a decent match. I liked the main event, the right team (and man) won. BATB is looking good, keep it up.

- I’m sure that opening contest would have been a wild and fast contest. Good decision to have Rey and Kidman go over considering the title match at the PPV. - Good win for Bigelow. I hope Sanders isn’t going to be a jobber now. - I like the interaction between Alexis and Dawn. - Alright match/aftermath between Morrus and Vampiro. I hope that Vampiro has a bigger role in this. - A great six man tag team match with a lot of good talent. Good decision to have Jarrett win the match, as I do see him losing the strap at BATB. - Wonder what will be coming up for Kanyon as I see him as having loads of talent. - Very good main event for Thunder. A good show overall.

JULY 15 2001 > WCW Bash at the BeachThe show kicks off with a video package hyping all of tonights contests, including Scott Steiner defending the WCW World Title against Goldberg. Pyro begins to go off throughout the arena as Scott Hudson, Tony Schiavone and Mike Tenay all welcome us to the show. - Match #1: Billy Kidman and Rey Misterio, Jr. (w/ Tygress) def. Kid Romeo and Elix Skipper to capture the Cruiserweight Tag Championships. Solid way to kick-off the show. Both teams had a spot-filled contest with the crowd unclear as to who was leaving the victor. It all came to an end about nine minutes in when Billy Kidman pinned Kid Romeo after nailing the Kid Krusher from the second rope. Billy Kidman and Rey Misterio, Jr. are both handed a title belt each and they celebrate with Tygress as Elix Skipper and Kid Romeo begin to get to their feet. Pamela Paulshock was standing backstage with Hugh Morrus and Major Gunns. Morrus hyped up his upcoming match with Malice, proclaiming that tonight it all comes to an end and that is "no laughing matter". - Match #2: Malice (w/ Daffney) def. Hugh Morrus in a Falls Count Anywhere match. This was a friendship that turned sour when Malice turned on his friend, Hugh Morrus. For the past few weeks, both men have been at each others throats and they settled it here in this bloody brawl. Christopher Nowinski made an appearance by clocking Morrus with a clock (pun intended) and then Malice hitting a Chokeslam. Major Gunns attends to an unresponsive Hugh Morrus as Vampiro makes his way down the ramp. Malice, Daffney, Vampiro and Christopher Nowinski pose together in the ring as Major Gunns continues to attend to Morrus. The Cruiserweight Champion, Chavo Guerrero, Jr. was shown backstage with his bodyguard, Scott Norton. The pair where walking down the hallway together, with Chavo looking ticked off. Chavo tells Norton that it's completely unfair that The Cat banned him from accompanying Chavo to ringside. Chavo whines that he is the Cruiserweight Champion and therefore he needs protection from insane challengers and the obsessive WCW fans. The Cat appears infront of Norton and Guerrero. He wishes Chavo luck and pats him on the back before laughing and walking off leaving Chavo fuming. - Match #3: Yoshihiro Tajiri def. Ikuto Hidaka, Shane Helms and Chavo Guerrero, Jr. to capture the Cruiserweight Championship. These four are quite easily some of the best cruiserweights you will ever find and they showed that tonight in this high-flying warfare. With the intimidating presense of Chavo Guerrero, Jr.'s bodyguard, Scott Norton, the match wasn't interupted at all. Yoshihiro Tajiri pinned Ikuto Hidaka after levelling him with a Buzzsaw Kick when Hidaka went for a springboard move of sorts. The referee hands Yoshihiro Tajiri the Cruiserweight Title belt as Chavo Guerrero, Jr. finally reliases that he just lost his title belt. Chavo has a tantrum at ringside, kicking over the steel steps and screaming. Pamela Paulshock is backstage with Booker T. Pamela asks Booker T if he's ready to get his hands on Curt Hennig after losing to Curt Hennig on Nitro after Curt got himself disqualified. Booker T said that he's waiting for tonight to come around so he can teach Curt Hennig a lesson in respect. Curt Hennig appears out of nowhere, attacking Booker and he begins to kick away at him before tossing him into the wall and leaving him on the mat. Curt crouches down beside Booker and tells him he'll see him in the ring before kicking him one last time and heading off. - Match #4: Booker T def. Curt Hennig. Booker T was seling his injuries from Curt Hennig's attack just moments ago. Curt dominated the match pretty much from the start, but Booker mounted a comeback after avoiding Hennig's top-rope crossbody. In the end, Booker was able to take home the victory after hitting the BookEnd around nine minutes in. The referee raises Booker T's hand up post-match as Booker favours his ribs with his free hand. Booker celebrates his win at ringside with a few fans before he begins to make his way up the ramp to the back. Team Canada, Lance Storm, Mike Awesome and Melissa Coates, where shown in their locker room. Storm was talking to Mike and Coates about the Flag Match with The Filthy Animals. Storm promised that Canada will reign supreme. The Filthy Animals where backstage with Pamela Paulshock. BG hyped up their Flag Match with Team Canada before Konnan repeated what BG said in Mexican. - Match #5: Lance Storm and Mike Awesome def. Konnan and BG James in a Flag Match to retain the Canadian Tag Championships. There's been alot of bad blood between both Team Canada and The Filthy Animals for the past few months. Both teams had a pretty fun match to watch, which saw both teams try several times to hang their flag on the pole. With Melissa Coates and Tygress both banned from ringside, the match was fair. When Konnan made his way to the top rope to attach the Mexican flag, an unknown women hopped the guardrail and shook the ropes, sending Konnan crashing to the outside. The women quickly fled the ringside area and hopped back over the guardrail as security chased after her as BG looked around. Mike Awesome clobbered BG with a clothesline as Lance Storm attached the Canadian flag to the pole. Lance Storm staggers around the ring with his title belt as Mike Awesome raises his belt above his head. Storm directs Awesome to take BG out with an Awesome Bomb, to which he does before the duo head up the ramp where they are met by Melissa Coates. Tygress runs down the ramp by the trio, who mock her. Tygress attends to BG and Konnan. A video hypes up the Jeff Jarrett vs. Shane Douglas match. - Match #6: Jeff Jarrett def. Shane Douglas (w/ Torrie Wilson) to retain the U.S Championship. Shane Douglas and Jeff Jarrett have been dying to lock-up for the past few weeks, and tonight the pair finally got let loose. The pair put on a fantastic contest that the crowd seemed really into. Jarrett shocked everyone when he rolled Douglas up out of nowhere and put his feet on the ropes for extra leverage and he got the three count! Jeff Jarrett quickly bails out of the ring and snatches the U.S Title from ringside. He runs around the ring and meets with Rick Steiner at the bottom of the ramp. The pair hug before celebrating as the head up the ramp. Shane Douglas looks around in complete shock, as if Torrie. The pair try to tell the referee what happened, but he doesn't listen to them. Scott Steiner is backstage flexing his muscles as Midajah watches on in the background. Pamela Paulshock approaches Scott with a microphone. Scott tells Pamela that tonight he's going to break Goldberg in half and show him who the real man-beast is in WCW. Holla if ya' hear me! A video hypes the Sting vs. Ric Flair match. - Match #7: Sting def. Ric Flair (w/ Dawn Marie). Both Sting and Ric Flair went out there tonight and put on a solid match, Ric Flair proving that he can still go. Sting looked to finish Flair off with the Scoprion Death Drop, but Dawn Marie hopped onto the apron and distracted the referee. Flair low blowed Sting, but he only got a two count. Sting eventually locked Flair in the Scorpion Death Lock and Flair had no choice but to tap! Sting released the hold as Dawn Marie got into the ring and checked on Ric Flair as she also looked at Sting in complete anger. Sting celebrates in the ring as we cut to the back. We see Goldberg's locker room and the usual security guards outside it. Goldberg exits the room and walks down the corridor. Pamela Paulshock catches up with him and asks him about his World Title match with Scott Steiner. Goldberg promises that he will be leaving Deltona Beach the NEW WCW World Heavyweight Champion. Scott Steiner.. YOU'RE NEXT! - Match #8: Scott Steiner (w/ Midajah) def. Goldberg to retain the World Championship. Solid way to close down the show. Scott Steiner really took the fight to Goldberg in this hard-hitting encounter. Goldberg looked to have the match won when he was looking to hit the Spear on Scott Steiner. But Steiner's #1 Freak, Midajah got into the ring and took the brunt of Goldberg's Spear instead of Steiner. As the referee attended to Midajah and called for help from the back, Steiner brought his trade lead pipe into the game and clobbered Goldberg over the forehead with it. Steiner then locked in the Steiner Recleiner to an already passed out Goldberg and the referee turned around to see it. Scott Steiner snatches the World Title from ringside before putting Midajah over his shoulder and heading up the ramp. As he reaches the top of the ramp he turns around and looks at Goldberg, who is standing up in the ring, staring a hole through Scott Steiner.[/font]

-Great choice for an opener, figured Kidman & Mysterio would win as they were the biggest names in the Cruiserweight Tag division -lol at the pun intended comment. Figured Malice would win -Love the idea of Tajiri as Cruiserweight Champion, always was a fan of his -Booker/Henning sounded solid, although rather short. Wish Henning won though -Loved the Canadian Tag Team Title match, especially that Team Canada retained, keep the belts on them forever -Glad Jarrett retained the US Title because I wanted somebody to retain on this show lol -Sting/Flair is always a great match and I'm glad Sting won -I like that Steiner retained because almost everybody thought Goldberg would win. Midajah getting Speared and the pipe being used were great spots
Very good show, can't wait to see what you have planned for this diary.

- Fantastic poster, Chaz really outdid himself here, my own negitive comment on it is that it doesn't have that "Great American Bash" kinda theme, still well made. - Nice to see Kidman and Misterio Jr winning the Cruiserweight Tag Titles, lets hope you develop some more Cruiserweight Tag Teams. - Was a big fan of Malice in NWA-TNA, nice to see you using him in 2001 WCW, lets hope he gets used well. - On a side note, I hope you push Scott Norton, the guy is a beast and was fantastic in Japan. - Tajiri winning the Cruiserweight title is pretty cool, big fan of the guy. - Booker T vs Curt Hennig is a solid bout, makes sense for Booker to win but Hennig could still go in 2001, heres hoping you give him a push. - Team Canada retaining the "Canadian" Tag Team Championships is awesome, fun match and nice to see BG James in WCW. - Jarrett retaining the US Title is the right call. I like Douglas but Jarrett is just levels above him. - Sting vs Ric Flair should of been main event in my opinion. I know the title match should always go last but Sting vs Flair is huge. Flair tapping out is a hit n miss decision but I'm sure there'll be a rematch, - Main event had some cool spots seems like it'd be lackluster compared to the previous match. Happy the finish wasn't clean and that Steiner gets a longer run with the belt.
Don't normally ask for replies but WWF vs WCW is pretty low down the page, would you mind?

- Glad to see BATB up, finally! - Good way to start the show as those four guys have put on good matches against each other in the past. Kidman/Rey going over is fine. - Like that Malice defeated Morrus. I could see Malice being a dominate force in WCW. - Tajiri winning the belt works for me as well. I can see Chavo getting a rematch since he wasn’t pinned. - Would have rather seen Hennig go over, but oh well. - Flag match seemed alright, Team Canada going over gets a thumbs up as well. - Was hoping that Shane Douglas would walk away with the strap. - Sting/Flair is always decent and I like that it didn’t main event. Wish that Flair would get a win over Sting at some point. - Very happy to see Steiner retain as having him hold the belt for six days would have sucked. Hopefully Goldberg loses some more and become more human in terms of actually being able to lose and not needing to win 175 matches in a row. - Reply to ECW/WCW/WWF 2001?

WCW WorldWide will be returning to our TV screens this coming Saturday night from 10:10PM until 11:10PM. WorldWide was temporarily removed from all syndicated networks in early 2001 when WCW decided not to tape matches for the show, but instead just recap Nitro and Thunder and air classic matches from WCW's past. When WorldWide returns to our screens this Saturday night on TBS, you can expect exclusive matches recorded just for WorldWide.
Tickets for WCW's tour of the United Kingdom in a matter of weeks officially sold out today. The company will run a 7-day tour, bringing the action-packed live event to Glasgow, Newcastle, Birmingham, Manchester, Dublin and London. WCW plans on bringing in some local British talent to the Nitro and Thunder tapings, where they will compete in dark matches with the chance to impress WCW officials and earn a possible contract with the company.
Brock Lesnar and Shelton Benjamin, both former WWE development workers, are backstage in Sunrise, Florida tonight at the Monday Nitro show. It's believed that the pair, who worked as a tag team in Ohio Valley Wrestling, will be used in a dark match prior to Nitro going on the air. Both men were cut from their contracts early in the year. Check out photos of Lesnar and Benjamin here!
Also backstage at the show tonight are independent workers Michael Modest and Christopher Daniels, who have both worked for WCW several times in the past.
Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) have reportedly got someone to invest in the company and keep the company alive. ECW has been suffering financial difficulties for years now, and alot of ECW talent have been going un-paid for their work with the company, and because of this alot of talent have been jumping ship to the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) and World Championship Wrestling (WCW). The question on everyone's mind though, is if ECW can survive 2001.
WCW.com today announced that they had come to terms on the release of ring announcer Michael Buffer.
WCW worker, "The Mouth of The South" Jimmy Hart said today that WCW plans on boosting ratings even more by bringing in a few famous faces over the course of the next few months. Hart wouldn't state who exactly would be appearing, but he did reveal that the company had been in talks with a pornographic actress and a former MMA fighter.
With one worker gone, it's time to welcome one to the company! WCW President, Eric Bischoff, revealed in an interview with Sports Illustrated that the company had signed fitness model Kim Kanner, who worked for WCW in the past as Shakira, to a contract once again. Bischoff broke the news when Sports Illustrated asked if there were any plans for a womens division, to which Bischoff revealed that there are plans, and although Kanner was signed, she won't be lacing up wrestling boots and will instead primarily be a valet. You can check out a photo of Kanner here.

[/color] def. Shelton Benjamin and Brock Lesnar[/color]. [N/A] - Solid dark match here between both teams. Benjamin and Brock played the role of the heels really well, and managed to get alot of heat from the crowd. O'Haire pinned Brock following the Seanton Bomb. WCW Monday Nitro: (- July 16 2001: Sunrise, Florida) * The opening WCW Monday Nitro video plays and pyro goes off in the arena. Scott Hudson and Tony Schiavone welcome us to WCW Monday Nitro from Orlando, Florida! Shane Douglas gets one last shot at Jeff Jarrett's U.S Title in tonights main event. Also, former tag team partners Air Styles and Air Paris collide in what promises to be a high-flying encounter! * Eric Bischoff opens the show and cuts straight to the point. He reveals that as of right now, the World Title is vacant! Bischoff says that he sat at home watching The Magnificent Seven run the show, and now that he's back, authority has been restored in WCW! Eric says that when Scott Steiner arrives to the building he wants him to relinquish the belt. Eric then heads to the back, point made. * WCW Cruiserweight Tag Team Champions, The Filthy Animals (Rey Misterio, Jr. & Billy Kidman) (w/ Tygress) def. 3 Count (Shannon Moore & Evan Karagias) in a non-title match. [6:39] - The Filthy Animals came out to a good pop from the crowd, with Tygress closely behind them. 3 Count came out dancing and singing, much to the displeasure of the crowd. Both teams work a solid tag team contest that ends when Rey pins Moore after a Springboard Hurricanrana. Tygress gets into the ring post-match and the referee hands Rey and Kidman their tag belts. Elix Skipper and Kid Romeo, the former Crusierweight Tag Champs, appear on the TurnerTron. Skipper says that in 2 weeks time, on the Nitro from Melbourne, Australia, they are using their rematch clause. Romeo tells Kidman and Rey to shine the belts up real nice. * Pamela Paulshock is standing backstage with Major Gunns, who has her robe on. Major Gunns hypes the Miss WCW 2001 contest, telling Pamela that the crowd will love her bikini. Major Gunns brings up the fact that Pamela won Miss WCW 2000. Pamela blushes and tells Major Gunns that's in the past and that she won't be competing tonight. After a few moments, Major Gunns is able to convince Pamela to take part in the bikini contest. * Gene Okerlund is trying to get a word with Eric Bischoff backstage about the World Title situation. He tells Gene that he will explain all sooner rather than later. He enters his office and closes the door behind him, leaving Gene in the hallway. * COMMERCIAL BREAK ~* Miss WCW 2001: Major Gunns def. Miss WCW 2000, Pamela Paulshock, Daffney, Tygress, Torrie Wilson, Stacey Keibler, Midajah, Dawn Marie, Paisley, Madusa, Alexis Laree[/color] and Melissa Coates[/color]. [N/A] - In the 2001 Miss WCW bikini contest, Madusa refused to participate and left for the back and Major Gunns got the loudest ovation and dethroned the 2000 Miss WCW, Pamela Paulshock to win the crown! A massive catfight ensues when Stacey Keibler attacks Major Gunns. It ends with the faces dumping the heels out of the ring and the heels scatter up the ramp, all of them putting their robes back on as they head to the back. * Gene Okerlund is standing by backstage with Shane Douglas. Shane says that his valet, Torrie Wilson, should have won Miss WCW. Douglas then says that tonight he has a rematch with Jeff Jarrett for the U.S Championship in the main event of tonights broadcast. Douglas says that it will be a Falls Count Anywhere match! * COMMERCIAL BREAK ~* Chavo Guerrero, Jr. was shown backstage with Scott Norton, both men in casual clothes. Chavo is complaining about losing the Cruiserweight Title when he wasn't pinned. Chavo says that he's going to request - no, DEMAND - a rematch with Yoshihiro Tajiri at Mayhem. Chavo storms down the hallway as we cut to ringside. * Vampiro & Malice (w/ Daffney & Christopher Nowinski[/color] def. Hugh Morrus & Lash LeRoux. [4:59] - Daffney and Christopher Nowinski, surprisingly, didn't interfere once during the match, which made the match an open contest. Lash LeRoux was pinned after Vampiro hit him with a Spike DDT when LeRoux was knocked off the top rope. Nowinski orders that Malice and Vampiro continue their attack on LeRoux and Morrus. Malice hits Morrus with a Chokeslam as Vampiro hits LeRoux with a Lifting DDT. Konnan and BG James come running to the ring with Tygress and a fight erupts. Konnan and BG take Malice and Vampiro out as Tygress fights with Daffney. Konnan and BG hit Nowinski with a Pumphandle Slam/Legdrop combination before Nowinski rolls out of the ring. The Filthy Animals and Tygress work the crowd. * COMMERCIAL BREAK ~* We see Chavo Guerrero, Jr. with Scott Norton outside Eric Bischoff's office. Chavo enters the room and immediantly tells Bischoff that he demands a Cruiserweight Title match at Mayhem against Yoshihiro Tajiri. Eric tells Chavo to knock next time and that he can't just DEMAND anything. Eric Bischoff books Chavo and Norton against KroniK for Thunder. If Chavo and Norton win, Chavo gets the title shot. Chavo doesn't seem pleased at this. * The music of Team Canada begins to play and the stable come down to the ring. Leading the way is Lance Storm, closely followed by Mike Awesome, then Melissa Coates and then lastly the new women who debuted last night at Bash at the Beach. Storm gets on the mic and cuts a promo on the U.S.A before introducing us to Angel Williams, who helped Team Canada beat The Filthy Animals once and for all. The music of The Cat hits and he comes strutting out from the back to a loud ovation. He tells Lance Storm to shut his mouth. The Cat says that since he is the commissioner, it's his job to make some rules around here. Cat says that Angel Williams hasn't signed a WCW contract, so therefore she is nothing more than a fan. The Cat demands that she is objected from the arena. Security enter and eject Angel from the arena, as Team Canada go crazy in the ring. Lance Storm talks trash to Cat, who then says he's going to kick Storm's ass right here, right now! * COMMERCIAL BREAK ~* WCW Canadian Tag Team Champion, Lance Storm (w/ Mike Awesome & Melissa Coates)[/color] def. The Cat[/color]. [5:24] - Really good match that the crowd really seemed to enjoy. The Cat had no choice but to tap out when Storm locked in the Canadian Maple Leaf after Mike Awesome tripped up Cat. Post-match, Team Canada celebrate with the Canadian flag. Team Canada celebrate together, afterwards. The Cat struggles to get to his feet as we go to a commercial break. * COMMERCIAL BREAK ~* Scott Steiner is shown walking into the arena during the commercial break with his World Title but without Midajah (who is already in the arena). Ric Flair rushes up to Steiner and tells him to follow him because he has some bad news for him. Steiner asks what the news is as him and Ric walk out of the camera range and we cut to the arena. Tony Schiavone says that he is glad he doesn't have to break the news to Steiner. * Gene Okerlund interviews Lance Storm and Mike Awesome backstage. Gene asks Lance where Angel Williams is. Storm says that the fact The Cat banned Angel from appearing in a WCW ring just shows that WCW doesn't like Canadians and how they are a minority in the company. Lance says that they won't back down without a fight. "Don't blame Canada.. blame yourself!" * COMMERCIAL BREAK ~* Air Paris[/color] vs. Air Styles[/color] ended in a No Contest. [1:49] - These two have had alot of beef as of late while tagging together so they were booked to face off tonight. They had a great match with alot of spots and reversals. Scott Steiner charged to the ring and layed both men out, ending the match in a No Contest. Scott Steiner continues his attack on Air Paris and Air Styles, just destroying the pair of them. Styles and Paris work together and begin to mount a comeback, taking Steiner down with a double dropkick to the knees. Midajah appears and slides a lead pipe into the ring and Steiner is soon mopping the ring with Styles and Paris again. Eric Bischoff comes running from the back with a microphone. He tells Scott Steiner to stop his attack immediantly. Steiner doesn't stop and Eric orders security down to stop his attack. Security flood into the ring, but Steiner takes them down one by one. He tosses Air Paris onto all the security on the outside before then tossing Styles onto them all. Midajah begins to try and stop Steiner, but he shoves her aside and she goes flying into the corner. Steiner stands on the apron and says he's going to kill Bischoff. He drops off the apron and chases Bischoff up the ramp. Goldberg appears from the back, and he Spears Steiner down just as Steiner reaches Bischoff. The pair brawl on the ramp before security recover and handcuff Steiner and the rest restrain Goldberg from attacking him. * COMMERCIAL BREAK ~* Dustin Rhodes def. Curt Hennig. [6:09] - Solid contest from Rhodes and Hennig that was unclear as to who was going to get the 3 count. After battling back and forth the entire contest, Hennig fell victim to the Lone Star State of Mind from Rhodes, which was enough to get Rhodes the victory. While Dustin celebrates his win, Rick Steiner runs to the ring and ambushes Dustin. Ric Flair comes down and joins in, and soon Curt Hennig is stomping away at Rhodes. All 3 members of The Magnificent Seven continue to beat away at Dustin until the familiar music of "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes hits and he comes down the ramp with Booker T and soon Dustin, Dusty and Booker clear the ring of Hennig, Steiner and Flair. * COMMERCIAL BREAK ~* Gene Okerlund is standing by backstage with Jeff Jarrett, who is with Rick Steiner. Jeff Jarrett says that Eric Bischoff has already ruined The Magnificent Seven's nights by one move - vacating the World Title. Jarrett says that Bischoff is trying to make the night go from bad to worse by putting him in a Falls Count Anywhere match with Shane Douglas for the U.S Title. Jarrett says that there is no chance in HELL that Douglas is taking his title. * Shane Douglas[/color] def. WCW United States Champion, Jeff Jarrett[/b] in a "No Disqualification" match to win the WCW United States Championship. [8:44] - Solid main event to end the show with a fun, back and forth affair from Douglas and Jarrett. Douglas goes for the Franchiser, Jarrett counters and goes for the Stroke, Douglas counters and finally hits the Franchiser and it was enough to get the 3! Torrie Wilson runs to the ring and crawls under the bottom rope before hugging Douglas. The referee hands him the U.S Title and he holds it high above himself as Torrie claps him on from the side. The show comes to a close with the pair celebrating with the belt.[/font][/quote]

- Nice to see this back. - Interesting to hae Lesnar and Benjamin join WCW, it looks like. Should be a good tag team. - World title vacant? I assume a tournament will happen now. - Decent opening contest that would get the crowd riled up for the show. I hope that Kidman and Mysterio get singles pushes at some point. - Major Gunns winning isn’t surprising as the fans love her and to her credit she has a nice body. - glad to see Vampiro and Malice going over. Fine aftermath as well. - Good to have Storm going over and I like that Cat ejected Angel out of the building. Solid segment. - I wish Styles and Paris were given more time, but oh well. Hopefully they get a match on Thunder or something. - Very good segment with Goldberg/Steiner. Enjoyed that quite a bit. - Ehh, Rhodes/Hennig would be okay but not a big fan of Rhodes, really. - Awesome to see Douglas winning the belt. Douglas getting a push! GREAT! - Reply to 2001 thread, please?

didn't watch WCW, but I know these guys.
-Good win for the champs. Elix Skipper in the same ring as Rey is epic -Douglas vs. Jarret won't be bad. -Chavo vs. Tajiri should be nice as well. Good matches in here it seems like, keep it like that. -If Vamprio wins I'm good, nice aftermath there -Team Canada is interesting -The Cat? Yea, too bad he lose -I wonder what the bad news is -Guessing Air Styles is AJ Styles -Scott attacking them? Why? Why? WHY? -Goldberg/Steiner should be a decent match. -Two legends fighting out nice, would have Henning win. -Shane is the champ! That's awesome. Always been a big fan. -good show
