Thunder comes on the air with a limo pulling up out back.  We see Arn Anderson, Ric Flair and Jeff Jarrett get out.

Arn:  I still think we should have talked to Curt before you did that Jeff.

Jarrett:  Are you saying I don't know what I am doing?  

Arn:  It isn't that, but you cost the Horsemen a title when Hennig attacked us at the end of Nitro.

Flair:  You are right Arn, but don't worry.  Tonight the two of us get a shot at the Dudley's and the Tag Team titles.  We will get some gold, don't you worry.

Brian Christopher then comes out.

Brian:  Listen, I saw what happened on Nitro and you guys will need another member, well here he is. 

Flair:  You?  A Horsemen?

Jarrett:  Listen Slapass, we don't allow guys who are in the business thanks to their daddies.

Brian:  Then how in the hell did you make it in?  

Flair:  Brian, you better get back and get dressed for a match.

Brian:  I made it?

Flair:  Hell no, you have the Chosen One tonight!

Brian:  Fine, Jeff you are going down.

We then go to the ring where our World Champion Spike Dudley is facing off with Vampiro for the title.

Spike and Vamp had a great high flying match.  Vampiro used his strength to keep Spike down with powerslams and lariats.  Spike however came back when Vamp missed a legdrop.  Spike then went to work with a flying double stomp from the top rope.  Spike went for the Acid Drop but Vamp tossed him off.  Suddenly the lights flashed and we see the Undertaker and Paul Wight coming to the ring.  This allowed Spike to hit a low blow and the Acid Drop for the win.

Spike Dudley pinned Vampiro with the Acid Drop in 0:07:10.
Rating: ** 3/4
(Spike Dudley retained the WCW World Title.)

Wight and Taker hit the ring and began to attack Vamp.  This brought out Ray Traylor and Gangrel, Vampiro's partner.  The Unholy Alliance quickly left the ring and Traylor grabbed the mic. 

Traylor:  Undertaker, you cost me a match on Nitro.  So why don't you and me go one on one RIGHT NOW!

Taker:  You got it!

Traylor picked up a huge win in this five person brawl.  During the brawl Big Van Vader came to ringside.  Vader attacked Team Blood and with Paul Wight fought to the back.  This left Taker and Traylor in the ring.  Taker had Traylor set up for the Last Rites when suddenly the lights went out.  When they came back up Taker was cover in blood.  He then turned right into the Traylor Park Trash and got upset by Traylor.

Rating: * 1/4

Tenay:  What a win for Ray Traylor and what a way to start off Thunder.  A World Title match and a Hardcore Match.

Madden:  That isn't all.  Shane Douglas faces former US Champion Scott Steiner.  Also in our main event it will be Arn Anderson and Ric Flair taking on The Dudley Boys. 

Tenay:  Don't forget William Regal taking on Rhino, both of whom have been drummed out of the Horsemen lately.  Right now let's go to the back where Gene Bennett is with The Unholy Alliance and Big Van Vader.

Bennett:  Thanks Mike.  Undertaker, you can't be happy with what just happened.

UT:  HAPPY?  DO I LOOK HAPPY BOY?  Those boys are just pissing me off even more.  Come Bash at the Beach they are going to be buried alive and that will be the end of them here in WCW.

Bennett:  Ok.  Vader, can I ask what you were doing out there?

Vader:  Simple.  I have noticed that everyone has a gang they are running around with.  So I want to the biggest and baddest.  The Unholy Alliance just got a little stronger.

Bennett:  I would say, but tonight you take on Bill DeMott.

Vader:  DeMott, he is just in the wrong place at the wrong time.  

Bennett:  Up next Big Van Vader taking on Bill DeMott.  

Another upset as Bill DeMott took out Big Van Vader thanks to Team Blood.  During the match Vampiro and his newest friend Ray Traylor came out.  This distracted Vader.  DeMott took advantage and hit an avalanche but the official got in the way.  DeMott then tried to revive the ref and Vader gave him a huge powerbomb.  Team Blood then hit the ring and attacked Vader.  With Traylor's help Vamp hit Vader with the Nail in the Coffin.  Moments later DeMott hit the Moonsault for the win.

Bill DeMott pinned Big Van Vader with the Moonsault in 0:05:10.
Rating: 1/2*

After the match DeMott saw the replay on the big screen.  He then helped Vader to his feet and tried to tell him that he didn't know that Team Blood was in the ring.  For his troubles DeMott to a huge chokeslam followed by the Vader Bomb. 

Madden:  That is what DeMott gets for cheating.

Tenay:  Cheating?  He didn't cheat, he didn't ask for Traylor and Vampiro to interfere.

Madden:  You believe that?  I know I don't.  He knew what happened, he is a trader and a liar. 

Tenay:  Whatever, let's go to the back where Scott Hudson is with Disqo.

Madden:  Baldie and Bugle beak you mean.

Hudson:  Madden, you can stick it up your----

Disqo:  Don't sink to his level Scott.  I am here to talk about the FBI.  Vito picked up a win over me, and I think it was a fluke.  So tonight I want any member of the FBI in the ring. 

Hudson:  Disqo, I do have a question for you.  How is your head?  I know you have had several concussions in the past weeks.

Disqo:  Don't worry about it Scott.  

Hudson:  Up next, Disqo verse a member of the FBI.

Disqo hit the ring and waited for the FBI.  Johnny the Bull then came out and our match was on.  Disqo took a DDT early on and couldn't recover.  Moments later JTB hit the Spinning Legdrop for the win.

Johnny the Bull pinned Disqo with the Spinning Flying Legdrop in 0:05:41.
Rating: 3/4*

Tenay:  Disqo looks hurt.  I don't think he should be in the ring.

Madden:  I could have told you that.  

Tenay:  I am serious Mark.  Disqo is glassy eyed right now and doesn't look good at all. 

Madden:  All kidding aside, you are right.  He shouldn't risk it anymore.  

Tenay:  Here comes the Trainer.  Up next it will be the FBI, Little Guido and Tony Mamaluke taking on Danny Doring and Roadkill.

The FBI completely dominated Doring and Roadkill and ended it quickly with the Spiked Kiss of Death.

The F.B.I defeated Danny Doring and Roadkill when L. Guido pinned Doring after the Spiked Kiss of Death in 0:03:25.
Rating: 3/4*

After the match Rhino hit the ring.  Doring and Roadkill both took Gores before Rhino stormed to the back. 

Madden:  What in the hell was that?  

Tenay:  Around here you never know what is going to happen, you should know that.  Up next it will be Chris Kanyon defending his TV title against the FBI's own Big Vito.

Kanyon retained his title but Vito put up a fight.  Kanyon wasn't as focused as he should have been as the entire FBI was at ringside.  Vito did hit the Mafia kick and the Big Vito Special but somehow Kanyon kicked out.  Vito went for a flying elbow but Kanyon moved.  Kanyon then hit a rocker dropper, a super Samoan Drop and the Kanyon Cutter for the win.  The rest of the FBI hit the ring but Kanyon again escaped through the crowd.

Chris Kanyon pinned Big Vito with the Kanyon Cutter in 0:05:13.

(Chris Kanyon retained the WCW TV Title.)

Madden:  He might be one of the greatest TV Champions of all time Mike.

Tenay:  He is on quite a win streak Mark, but the FBI is on his trail.  

Madden:  Up next it will be Rhino and William Regal for the Hardcore Title. 

Regal came to the ring and took the mic.

Regal:  Hello all my American friends.  It is I, Lord William Regal.  Tonight I face a man that has cost me and many people matches and is quite frankly a miserable little toe rag.  So tonight I prove to the Horsemen that they made a big mistake kicking me out.  Thank you.

Rhino then charged the ring and the match was on.

Rhino and Regal had the stiffest match in WCW history.  Regal proved that he is one of the best in WCW.  People forget that he had WCW first hardcore match when Fit Finlay and himself brawled in the park lot.  Regal and Rhino fought to the parking lot.  Regal went to the top of a van and tried to drop and elbow but Rhino moved.  Rhino the gored Regal into the van and locked in the Rhino Recliner for the win.

Madden:  What a match!  I can't believe that.  I didn't think Regal had it in him.

Tenay:  Regal got started as a wrestler in a carnival Mark.  Right now I want to go to a special sitdown interview Gene Bennett recently conducted with Owen Hart.

Bennett:  Owen, first off all thank you for sitting down with me.  

Owen:  No problem Gene.

Bennett:  First off, give us an update on your health and the health of Lance and Jim.

Owen:  Well I have been cleared to return to action and will do so on Monday.  Jim I believe has also been cleared and hopefully will be there with me.  Lance isn't so lucky.  I don't think he will be cleared until Bash at the Beach. 

Bennett:  Owen, let's talk about your brother Bret.  Did you know Bret was leaving WCW?

Owen:  Gene, let's get something clear.  Bret didn't leave WCW, he was forced out.  I don't know who this new owner is but he holds some grudge again my family for some reason. 

Bennett:  So you are saying that the match between Bret and Jim wasn't suppose to end the way it did?

Owen:  It was like Montreal all over again.  Bret has been screwed out of his WCW contract. 

Bennett:  Owen, I have said some things about you in the past, but that was your wrestling persona I was talking about.  Is it possible that your true personality will come out.

Owen:  Gene, you bet it will.  I am not going to be the Rocket or the King of Harts or the Black Hart any more.  Now it will just be Owen Hart.  The Dudley Boys better watch out because you don't mess with the Hart Family.

Gene:  It is great to hear you are returning and I know personally I can't wait. 

After the break, it was Brian Christopher taking on Jeff Jarrett.  Brian and Jeff had a decent match.  The end came when Curt Hennig hit the ring and attacked Jarrett.  He gave him the Hennig Plex which set up the Tennessee Jam and the win for Brian.

Brian Christopher pinned Jeff Jarrett with the Tennessee Jam in 0:06:25.
Rating: *

Madden:  That isn't fair, that isn't fair at all!

Tenay:  Well Jeff left Hennig for dead on Nitro, that was just a little pay back.  Personally I think this might be the shot in the arm Hennig's career needed.

Madden:  Let's go to Terry Taylor who is with the US Champion Shane Douglas. 

Taylor:  Shane, tonight you go one on one with a former champion Scott Steiner.

Douglas:  Terry, are you dumb?  I beat Sting for this title right?

Taylor:  Right.

Douglas:  Who did Sting beat for the title?

Taylor:  He beat Scott Steiner.

Douglas:  So I have nothing to worry about in Steiner.  I have beat other muscled up geeks like him.  Hell I have broken necks of punks like Steiner.  Tonight is just another in a long line of punks I take out. 

Taylor:  Up next the US title is on the line.

Shane Douglas retained his title, but not with some help.  Shane came out alone but moments into the match Chris Candido and C.W. Anderson came out as well.  Steiner was often tripped and distracted by the other members of the Triple Threat.  This brought out Sting and Booker T, Steiner's buddies.  Steiner hit his old Frankensteiner and the match should have been over but the Dudley Boys attacked Sting and Booker T.  This distracted Scott and allowed Douglas to hit the Franchiser and get the win.  The Triple Threat then attacked Steiner.  This brought out Bill DeMott, Lash LeRoux and Scott Taylor.  It was soon a twelve person brawl at ringside.

Shane Douglas pinned Scott Steiner with the Franchiser in 0:09:45.

(Shane Douglas retained the WCW US Title.)

Madden:  This is chaotic!  There are people fighting all over the place.  

Tenay:  WATCH OUT!

Chris Candido comes flying into the shot after being thrown by Scott Steiner.  We go to break with security trying to break the brawl up. 

After the break we see the Dudley's in the ring waiting for the Horsemen team of Ric Flair and Arn Anderson.  They come out with Jeff Jarrett.  They hit the ring and the match was on.

The Dudley's retained their titles in the main event.  This was because of more Horsemen problems.  Arn was in the ring most of the match as Flair continued to talk to Jarrett often when Arn would try to tag.  Finally Arn made the tag and Flair came in.  Flair gave D-Von several chops and tagged right back out. Later the official went down and Jarrett hit the ring.  He gave D-Von the Stroke.  He told Arn to hold him for a guitar shot.  D-Von moved but Jeff stopped before hitting Arn.  Arn turned and began to stalk a fallen D-Von when Jeff spun him around and hit him with the guitar.  Jeff left and Flair followed arguing.  In the ring the Dudley's hit Arn with 3D and retained their titles.

The Dudley Boys defeated Arn Anderson and Ric Flair when D-Von Dudley pinned Anderson after the Dudley Death Drop in 0:08:19.
Rating: * 3/4
(The Dudley Boys retained the WCW Tag Team Titles.)

Madden:  I think the Horsemen are official done!

Tenay:  You think?  Look at what has happened today.  What a night.  For everyone we hope to see you on Nitro.
