WCW Thunder 9/6/2000
EARLIER TODAY. MI SMOOV brought the NBT to the Power Plant.
Kwee Wee vs Lt. Loco
I don't know why I was never into Sharmell in WWE. Probably because she wasn't wearing booty shorts every week. Prime Time and Gunns come down to the booth. This is a number one contender match. I wish Alan Funk didn't have such a stupid gimmick. It just pigeon holed him as a comedy gay character for the rest of his career. He was pretty good in the ring. Paisley gets involved and Chavo eats a Tenryu-esque BRAINBUSTAH! Kwee Wee is the number one contender. After the match, Gunns fights with Paisley. Tygress runs out and Elix gets a handle on his YAK. MIA run out. Kind of late, guys.
EARLIER TODAY. Bret Hart arrived!
TO THE BACK. Goldberg has arrived.
Show run down. Multiple replays on Bill kicking Bret's head off at Starrcade are shown. Another interview: Tenay talks with David and Stacy. More footage from Wargames 2000.
EARLIER TODAY. The NBT returned home and INVADED the Power Plant. Mike Graham was trainign someone. Holy shit, he was short. He puts Sanders in a figure four before succumbing to the numbers game. O'Haire assasults a trainee mopping the floors. They confront Orndorff in his office. They drag him to a ring when security and another trainee save himl. He looks like Eddie Bravo on da juice.
TO THE INTERVIEW. Everything is ready for the wedding. Tenay wants to know if Ric is going to be there. Arn already said Ric would be there. David hasn't talked to him, though. Why is Mike such an asshole who asks questions just to make people mad? He's such a shit stirrer. He called Stacy a gold digger on an interview a few days from their wedding. Then he asks if David is going to be a better father than Ric, and when David insists that's a bit personal, Mike says he doesn't think it is personal at all. How is asking "Your father was shitty at being a dad, do you think you're going to be as shitty?" not a personal question? They storm off and Mike gives them 6 months if they're lucky.
TO THE BACK. Goldberg is looking for Bret.
TO MONDAY AFTERNOON. Replay of The Harris Brothers beating up Kronik in a bar. Can we get to the ring?
3 Count vs Kronik
3 Count come out with bats and mean srs bidness. The most annoying stoners are the ones that constantly talk about weed. Fucking Kronik. I get it. You smoke weed. A ton of people smoke weed. Bragging about smoking weed hasn't made you cooler in decades. The Harris Brothers come out and 3 Count win by count out. Tank comes out and punches them all in the face.
TO THE BACK. A lot of security guards with terrible undercuts are outside Bret's dressing room. I'm pretty sure one of them is Michael Shane. I wonder if he told Bret he was HBK's cousin. Gene is with Crowbar. Crowbar will get a match with Shane. he asks about Daffney's boyfriend. Why are all the announcers such dick heads? Obviously that's a sore spot for Crowbar.
A new segment for Thunder. Mike Awesome's Lava Lamp Lounge. This makes me sad. Leisure suit, tie dye, lava lamps, feathered hair. His first guest is Paula Poundstone. He actually calls her Paula and I yellow El'd for real. He wants to know if the wrestlers hit on her a lot. She might like small dicks as long as they are humor. He hits on her with the lamest come on lines that you hear in school. Jeff comes out to break this up. "You look like a cross between John Travolta in Saturday Night Live and Austin Powers." Not a typo. He said Saturday Night Live. Jeff stumbles over his words in EVERY promo. He's basically the Paulie Walnuts of WCW. They brawl and the set gets torn apart. Gene saves Paula from getting hit with a guitar, but Awesome got hit with it. Poor Mike. When Tensai commits suicide, maybe they can hang out and laugh.
Shane Douglas vs Crowbar
Sting and Vampiro will have a falls count anywhere match tonight. That's the most important thing about this match. Torrie got involved. Shane hit the Franchiser for the win. Daffney comes out and they fight. Ozzy comes out and just watches until Shane throws Daffney off. Shane handily beats his ass. Madusa comes out and kicks Torrie in the stomach and hits an enziguri on Shane. Wat.
TO THE BACK. Security tries to prevent Goldberg from entering Bret's locker room. He takes 6 dudes out instantly. But Bret wasn't there. Where is Bert Hurt?
Bret Hart comes to the ring. He immediately BURIES Mike Awesome for no reason. "Hey, Mike Awesome, you're about worth about half as much as you were 15 minutes ago."
He bitches about getting screwed over and over and over. He name drops HBK, Vince, Austin, Taker, and Rock. He beat them all. Russo is the only guy who treated him right. Bret comes back just to be a whiny bitch? Bret calls the kick the "mother of all potatoes". That kick cost him millions of dollars, he says something about getting a slug in the back in the head, he couldn't buy the ranch he wanted, he has 10% permanent brain damage possibly for the rest of his life. Obviously. Goldberg comes out and Bret begs him to end it for good. Bill just wants to set the record straight. He LEGIT SHOOT feels remorse for hurting Bret and some days he wishes it was him. I don't like this. Bret screaming and ranting like a bitter asshole. It makes me sad. Even worse than when he was tearing shit up on Raw and fell down. Goldberg restrains himself and leaves until Bret calls him "kid" and he comes back. But then Scott Steiner attacks Goldberg. He puts Bill in the recliner while Bret shit talks him.
TO THE BACK. Steiner leaves with a new, blond YAK.
Filthy Animals vs Harris Brothers WCW Tag Team Championships
Why are they getting a title match? They've had two matches in 4 months and one of them was a no contest. Kronik come out and Disco confronts them to protect Rey and Juvi. What a fucking idiot. Obviously they were coming out for the Harris Brothers. Rey gets the win for his team. Titles retained.
Recap of Wargames 2000 with weirdly upbeat rock music. Almost like ska. Booker T celebrating with his friends and family after the match is shown. I lol at the one white dude in the stairwell.
TO THE BACK. Sting heads to the ring.
TO THE TAILGATE PARTY. God damn, WCW clearly didn't give a fuck about Thunder. It has more filler than Raw.
Recap of Sting vs Vampiro feud.
Vampiro vs Sting Falls Count Anywhere
ICP are on color, but Stevie and Tony leave. Or maybe this is just a no holds barred match. "Tony Zimbabwe" Lol. "Onion Ring." "The Lion King." They brawl into the crowd and come back to ringside. The only time ICP are tolerable is when they're on color saying the most ridiculous shit. Pretty mindless brawl that was the same Vamp/Sting match as all of them, maybe with slightly more Vamp offense. Sting wins with a death drop OUTTA NOWHERE! Muta pulls Sting out the ring, possibly saving him. Then he tries to mist him, but hits the fat clown. So Goldberg comes out and beats up ICP and Vamp for no reason that I could see. He calls Bret back out.
Team Canada show up on ThunderVision and Lance says he'll be right out to fight!
Goldberg vs Team Canada
I felt like a spear to Prime Time would be more brutal looking. Lance bails, but Hugh fights him on the ramp and sends him back in. Lance gets crushed. lol. Goldberg just beat up two stables in a row and 6 security guards earlier, all with ease. Kind of weird that Lance dropped falls in two tag matches in the same week. You'd think Skipper would be the one who gets pinned.
