Thunder Results
July 19, 2000 - The show opens with a recap from Monday's Nitro. - We see both Booker T. and Stevie Ray arriving at the arena and we are told that Harlem Heat will team up against Jeff Jarrett and Rick Steiner tonight. Crowbar vs. "Above Average" Mike Sanders - Lenny Lane is shown in the crowd being escorted out of the arena by security. Jarrett leaves the announce table as the Harlem Heat music starts up. Booker T. shows up at the entranceway and Jarrett tries to get him in the ring. Rick Steiner attacks Booker from behind and then Stevie Ray shows up to give a preview of the tag team action later tonight. - Commercial break and then a visibly upset Daffney tells Crowbar that she will get revenge for what just happened. Lenny Lane is in the back looking to get his job from the Cat. Miller calls him a "jobber" and tries to make him grab a pebble out of his hand before he can snatch it away to get his job back. Lane does, but Miller rebukes and tells him that he must beat the Wall in a tables match later tonight to get his job back. - Lance Storm is down and, of course, we get the obligatory Canadian National Anthem played beforehand. Storm then cuts a promo talking about the history of the U.S. Championship. He declares the U.S. Title "dead and buried" from this point forward. He proclaims and renames it the WCW Canadian Heavyweight Championship, much to the crowd's chagrin. He then pastes a sticker of the Canadian flag on the U.S. belt. He calls for security to bring a fan into the ring. A rather obese lady is brought into the ring. Storm says that she deserves respect for being a wrestling fan, then runs her down for her weight. Mike Awesome has heard enough and storms (pardon the pun) to the ring. Kanyon comes in to deliver a Kanyon Cutter, but Awesome takes him down. Storm and Kanyon get the advantage, but Buff cleans house and the crowd goes bonkers. - Jarrett kabongs Mike Sanders in the back for taking his guitar earlier. - After a commercial break and Ms. Hancock is with David Flair in the back and she tells him that he wants him to win the Cruiserweight Title match against Lt. Loco tonight. The Wall vs. Lenny Lane - Tables Match - M.I.A. is getting ready for action tonight and then we see Mike Sanders getting up from the guitar shot by Jarrett. Daffney races in and knocks him back out with a chair. - Commercial and then Kronic is back doing a photo shoot as the Filthy Animals sneak in their dressing room. David Flair vs. Lt. Loco - Cruiserweight Title Match - Major Gunz attempts to "revive" David in the ring, but Miss Hancock runs in a catfight ensues. The Cat is in the back and tells Lenny that he has his job back. On the other hand, he fires the Wall, who responds by choking out Miller as security intervenes. As Sanders stumbles up again, Kanyon arrives and gives him a Kanyon Cutter in the back. - After a commercial break, the Cat is walking down a hallway trying to get his focus back. That strange music starts up and the Jung Dragons show up for more tomfoolery. The Great Muta vs. Tank Abbott - Major Gunz challenges Miss Hancock to a "ROTC" match at New Blood Rising. ROTC standing for Rip Off The Camoflauge. Kronic shows back up to their dressing room to find it plundered. - Another commercial and then Rick Steiner is in the back telling Jeff Jarrett that he has a plan for tonight's match. The Filthy Animals vs. Kronic - Shane Douglas is down to the ring with Torrie after a commercial, carrying a duffle bag. In the bag, Shane pulls out a copy of Stuff magazine. He reads a question about sexual innuendo, having Torrie read the answer as the crowd boos. They then start making out in the ring as Kidman roars into the ring and takes Douglas down and out. He grabs Torrie, but Douglas knocks him out with a dumbbell. - Commercial break and then the Artist has requested interview time. With no Paisley at his side, he issues an open challenge to any champion in WCW, being the semi-main eventer that he is. Big Vito attacks him and it seems we have a match. The Artist vs. Big Vito - Hardcore Title Match Kanyon & Lance Storm vs. Mike Awesome & Buff Bagwell - Scott Hudson interviews Kevin Nash and Nash states that his loss to Goldberg at Bash at the Beach was bogus and the management in WCW wanted Hall out, no matter what. They go through his injuries and actions in WCW and questionable behavior. Nash says that Hall is fine and was just a good actor. He says that it's the Goldberg, the Brad Siegel, the Ted Turners that don't want him back. Nash says that he has 17 months left on his contract and then he will see what happens. He says that if WCW won't let Hall back and he goes somewhere else, he will leave as well. He proclaims that Goldberg hasn't paid his dues in this business and never will. He says that Goldberg has changed and he doesn't want anything to do with him personally. Nash says that the Internet is only good for invading his privacy. They bring up the three way dance scheduled for New Blood Rising with Goldberg, Steiner and Nash. Nash "shoots" and says that no matter how the match is laid out, he will "go over" in that match because it is his time. Harlem Heat vs. Jeff Jarrett & Rick Steiner - Post-match and Jarrett lays out Booker with a guitar shot as we fade to black.
