Thunder comes on the air with the final minutes of Nitro and the Dudley's leaving Sting a bloody mess.  We then go to the back were we see the Dudley's getting a cup of coffee.  Scott Taylor and Lash LeRoux come around the corner and the four nearly collide. Buh Buh:  What the hell is your problem?  Don't you know who we are?  We are the Dudley Boys.  We are the greatest team in the history of this sport.  Why don't you misfits watch where you are going. D-Von: They aren't even misfits anymore Buh Buh.  They are nothing but a bunch of WCW losers.  Buh Buh:  Yeah, nothing but a bunch of WCW losers.  Suddenly Bill DeMott comes into the shot. DeMott:  Losers?  Do you have a problem BOYS? D-Von:  Not with you fat ass, with those two bitches there. DeMott:  Well if they are bitches you wouldn't mind giving them a title shot here tonight right?  After all we are 'WCW Losers'.  Buh Buh:  Those two want a title shot they got it. We then go to the announce table where Mike Tenay is with Mark Madden. Tenay:  What a night we have.  We have Chris Kanyon defending his title against Little Guido.  Also just signed the Dudley's take on Lash LeRoux and Scott Taylor. Madden:  Also the Triple Threat's C.W. Anderson will take on Sting.  C.W. better watch out since it was C.W. that cost Sting the US title last week.  Plus in our Main Event it will be Scott Steiner and Booker T taking on The Undertaker and Paul Wight.  Tenay:  The Horsemen are arriving at the building.  Let's go to the back. Flair:  Listen guys, on Nitro we started to fall apart.  Things were said that shouldn't have been.  Tonight I want to start making it up to people.  Arn, for all your years of service to the Horsemen I am going to put you in the Main Event tonight.  You are going to take that punk Spike Dudley and bring the title back.  Curt, you are going to take out Big Van Vader once and for all, and Jeff will be in your corner. Rhino:  What about me? Flair:  Rhino, you have anyone who answers your challenge, which probably won't be anyone. Regal:  What about me Mr Flair?   Flair:  You William, will be facing---THE NATURE BOY. Regal:  What? With that the Horsemen and Rhino attack William Regal and leave him laying as we go to break. Little Guido nearly became the TV Champion once again but the psycho Kanyon held on somehow.  Guido and Kanyon went back and forth.  Guido hit a slingshot rocker dropper and nearly won.  Kanyon however came back and hit a super Samoan drop off the top.  Kanyon hit his Flatliner but was distracted by Tony Mamaluke.  Guido then went for the Kiss of Death but was thrown off into Mamaluke.   Kanyon then hit the Kanyon Cutter for the win. Chris Kanyon pinned Little Guido Maritato with the Kanyon Cutter in 0:09:01. Rating: *** 1/4 (Chris Kanyon retained the WCW TV Title.) Madden:  My buddy Kanyon wins again.   Tenay:  Kanyon needs some serious help I think.  Wait a second, he just gave the official Nick Patrick the Kanyon Cutter. Madden:  That is ok, no one likes Patrick anyway. Tenay:  Let's go to the back where Gene Bennett is with Sting, Booker T and Scott Steiner. Bennett:  Sting, let's start with you.  Tonight you try and get a little revenge on C.W. Anderson after his attack cost you the US title. Sting:  Gene, he did cost me the title.  But this is just a little detour off my main objective.  After I finish off C.W. I am gong to return to my Dudley hunt. Bennett:  Are you looking past C.W.? Sting:  No, not at all.  I have already beat C.W., he just doesn't know it. Bennett:  Booker T, Scott, you two are facing The Undertaker and Paul Wight, the Unholy Alliance.  Booker:  That's right Gene.  We are just practicing and getting ready to take out those damn Dudley's.  They want to come in here and take over.  Well I have been here through thick and thin and I will not allow them to take over. Steiner:  I have fought for the titles they have right now.  My brother and I have fought the biggest and baddest teams ever and wore those titles proud.  Booker T and his brother have fought hard and wore those titles proud.  However those jackasses come in here and think they can take over.  They interfere in any match they want and we are suppose to just sit back and allow it?  Booker:  I don't think so.  Come Bash at the Beach they are going to find out what WCW is all about!  Sting:  Dudley's, C.W. Anderson, Undertaker and Paul Wight-----IT'S SHOWTIME!!!  OWW! Bennett:  The Dudley Boy's better watch out! After the break we see Disqo come to the ring. Disqo:  I lost my title and again I have been pushed to being a joke.  I have fought for respect and will continue to do so.  This is an open challenge to any champion in the back.  Come out here and face the Re-Enforcer! Rhino's music plays and we have our Hardcore Title match. Disqo didn't really stand a chance against the man beast.  Rhino dominated Disqo, including goring him through a table.  He ended the match with the Rhino Recliner and got the win.  Rhino then went to the back.  Moments later the Dudley's hit the ring from through the crowd.  Disqo stumbled to his feet only for Spike to give him the Acid Drop.  While this was going on D-Von put a table into the table.  The Dudley Boys then give Disqo the 3D through the table.  No-Countout-No-DQ-Falls-Count-Anywhere Match: Rhino made Disqo submit to the Rhino Recliner in 0:03:24. Rating: * 1/2 (Rhino retained the WCW Hardcore Title.) Madden:  I would have paid a million dollars for that.  Disqo is a loser and always will be. Tenay:  What did Disqo do to deserve that?  He just had a match with Rhino damn it!  Some one needs to stop these maniacs. Madden:  After the break it will be Sting and C.W. Sting was a man on a mission in this match and nothing would stop him.  C.W. did hit a nice thrust kick and a series of snap suplexs but Sting wouldn't stop.  Chris Candido and Shane Douglas attacked Sting on the floor but Sting took them both out.  Sting then hit two Stinger Splashes followed by the Scorpion Death Drop for the win. Sting pinned C.W. Anderson with the Scorpion Death Drop in 0:06:34. Rating: * Tenay:  A big win for Sting here as he gets back on the winning side of things. Madden:  That is for sure.  Sting needs to stay on that if he is going to stand a chance against The Dudley's at Bash at the Beach. Tenay:  Let's go to the back where Terry Taylor is with Bill DeMott. Taylor:  Bill, tonight you already got Scott Taylor and Lash LeRoux a title shot and you take on Triple Threat member Chris Candido. Bill:  This is all about respect Terry.  The Dudley's mouthed off about WCW, the only company that has given me a chance.  They come in here from another company and think they can just take over, I DON'T THINK SO! Taylor:  The Dudley's brought up the Misfit's in Action, and it seems that you have a version in Taylor and LeRoux. Bill:  They are just like me, looking for respect.  Tonight we earn it.   The Cruiserweight Champion, Chris Candido, picked up a tainted win over Bill DeMott with help from Shane Douglas.  DeMott took both Candido and the official out with an avalanche.  DeMott then hit the Moonsault but Douglas hit the ring.  He dropped an elbow on DeMott and then hit him in the head with a chain.  This set up a flying headbutt from Candido for the win. Non-Title-Match: Chris Candido pinned Bill DeMott with the Flying Headbutt in 0:05:29. Rating: * 3/4 Madden:  The Triple Threat wins again! Tenay:  Yeah, and as usual they had to cheat to do it. Madden:  As a wise man once said, win if you can, lose if you must but always cheat. Tenay:  I don't know about wise, but he sure is powerful in Minnesota.  Let's go to Gene who is with Vader.  Bennett:  Vader, tonight you take on another Horsemen member in Curt Hennig. Vader:  Damn right Gene.  The foundation of the Horsemen has been cracked.  Tonight I end their reign of terror.  Hennig, you will be perfect tonight----perfectly destroyed. Bennett:  Up next, the Horsemen's Curt Hennig taking on Big Van Vader! Vader wasn't himself in the ring as he couldn't get going.  Jarrett and Hennig were a great team until the end.  Jarrett tried to hit Vader with the Guitar but hit Nick Patrick, the ref, instead.  Hennig then hit the Hennig Plex but there was no ref.  Jarrett came in and pulled Hennig up.  They then tried to hit Vader with a double lariat but Vader countered with a double lariat of his own.  Vader then gave Jarrett a powerbomb followed by an inverted powerbomb on top of Jarrett.  Vader tossed Jarrett from the ring and gives Hennig a Vader Bomb for the win. Big Van Vader pinned Curt Hennig with the Vader Bomb in 0:06:41. Rating: * 1/4 The next match was a Hardcore battle between Vampiro and Ray Traylor.  This match had interference from Gangrel that ended up costing Traylor the match.  Gangrel sprayed blood into Traylor's eye's setting up the Nail in the Coffin and the win.  After the match The Undertaker and Paul Wight hit the ring and destroyed Vampiro and Gangrel. No-Countout-No-DQ-Falls-Count-Anywhere Match: Vampiro pinned Ray Traylor with the Nail In the Coffin in 0:06:19. Rating: ** 1/2 The Tag Team Champions destroyed Lash LeRoux and Scott Taylor.  LeRoux and Taylor didn't go down without a fight however.  They did get several near falls including Lash hitting Whiplash 2000 followed by a flying elbow from Taylor.  The Dudley's rebounded by hitting 2D, the Dudley Device.  Buh Buh Ray went for the Buh Buh Cutter, but Taylor countered with an eye gouge.  Taylor hit a bulldog and went for the Worm but Buh Buh was on his feet right after the bulldog.  D-Von hit the ring and as Taylor turned for the Worm he was hit with 3D.  After the match Lash tried to keep the Dudley's off Scotty, but Spike hit the ring and he was given the Acid Drop.  They tried to put Scotty through a table with a Super Bomb but Sting, Booker T and Scott Steiner made the save. The Dudley Boys defeated Lash LeRoux and Scott Taylor when D-Von Dudley pinned LeRoux after the Dudley Death Drop in 0:08:46. Rating: ** (The Dudley Boys retained the WCW Tag Team Titles.) Madden:  I don't mind telling you, the Dudley's scare the hell out of me.  They have put out the entire New Hart Foundation, the Trainer Michael Martin, Dusty Rhodes and chief of security Paul Oatman. Tenay:  Well this hopefully team WCW, Sting, Scott Steiner and Booker will take them out in 24 days.  Let's go to the back where Scott Hudson is with Lord William Regal. Hudson:  Lord Regal, tonight we have witnessed the foundation of the Horsemen crumble as you were drummed out of that group. Regal:  Who in the hell do you think you are?  This is just a little misunderstanding sunshine.  After we settle our problems in the ring things will go back to the way they were.  Now if you will excuse me, I have to prepare to face the greatest wrestler of all time, Mr. Ric Flair, thank you. Hudson:  Up next, Ric Flair and William Regal one on one. Flair picked up a win here over William Regal, but it wasn't without some help and some would be help from his running buddies.  Early on it was one on one with both men exchanging holds and counter holds.  Then from the back out came the Hardcore Champion Rhino, Jeff Jarrett, Curt Hennig and Arn Anderson.  This distracted Regal and allowed Flair to work on the knee.  Hennig distracted the ref while Jarrett tried to throw the guitar to Flair, but Regal intercepted it.  Regal then blasted Flair with it.  The official saw the pieces and went to the floor and confronted Jarrett.  This allowed Rhino to hit the ring and gore Regal.  A groggy Flair locked in the Figure Four and the match was over. Ric Flair pinned William Regal with the Figure-Four Leglock in 0:07:36. Rating: ** 1/2 Madden:  What is going on?  The Horsemen are falling apart, look at Hennig and Rhino yelling at Jarrett.  Tenay:  They are falling apart, and let's not forget, Ric Flair loses all power at Bash at the Beach.  That could have something to do with it.  Let's go to the back where Gene Bennett is with The Undertaker and Paul Wight. Bennett:  Tonight, in mere moments you two have the top to stars in WCW--- UT:  Hold it right there.  You are looking at the top to stars in WCW.  We are the biggest and baddest.  We will take those two out if we want.  However what we will do is beat them within an inch of their damn lives.  We will leave them enough to recover isn't that right big man. Wight:  We are going to leave just enough for them to recover for Bash at the Beach.  We want to find out just who the major power in WCW is so we can crush it.  Whoever wins at Bash at the Beach better watch out because they are going to be on our hit list. Bennett:  Speaking of hit list, you two have your problems with former friends in Gangrel and Vampiro. UT:  They were allowed to hang with the big boys back then, but now are nothing but punks.  At Bash at the Beach they will be facing us in a Grave Yard Buried Alive Match. Wight:  That will be the last time you EVER see those two punks. Bennett:  Up next the Unholy Alliance takes on Booker T and Scotty Steiner. Team WCW's Scott Steiner and Booker T picked up a big tag team win over the Unholy Alliance.  This was a good match with a lot of team work on both sides.  The end came when Gangrel and Vampiro came out and pulled the Big Show off the apron.  Show was fighting both men which distracted Taker in the ring.  Taker turned around right into a huge belly to belly suplex from Scott Steiner.  Seconds later Booker hit the Harlem Hangover and got the win.  Scott Steiner and Booker T defeated The Unholy Alliance when Booker T pinned Undertaker after the Harlem Hangover in 0:10:39. Rating: ** After the match the Dudley Boys hit the ring and destroyed all three men in the ring while Gangrel and Vampiro wore out The Big Show.  In the ring all three men took 3D before the Dudley's left. Madden:  This is chaos.  Look at this, Booker T, Scott Steiner, The Undertaker and the Big Show all down and out here.  Is there any stopping The Dudley's?  Tenay:  I don't know, I just don't know anymore.  They may be just too much for WCW.  We have never seen this much destruction before.  Not even the nWo did this much damage.  After the break it will be our main event, Spike Dudley taking on Arn Anderson for the World Title.  Spike Dudley fought off the Enforcer to retain his title.  This was a great match between both were on top of their games. There was nothing neither man wouldn't do to keep or win the title.  Arn has never been World champion and the Horsemen came out to help.  As they were watching the Dudley's attacked Hennig and Jarrett.  This left Flair and Rhino to help Arn.  Spike was pounding on Arn in the corner when Flair hit the ring.  Flair spun Spike around and went to work with chops.  Rhino was in the opposite corner prepared to charge.  Flair chopped Spike down and told Rhino to charge.  Rhino did just that but Spike leapfrogged and Rhino gored Arn into the corner.  Spike then hit Rhino with an Acid Drop.  Flair tried to get Spike, but he was given the Acid Drop.  Arn then took an Acid Drop as well and Spike retained his title. Spike Dudley pinned Arn Anderson with the Acid Drop in 0:07:52. Rating: *** (Spike Dudley retained the WCW World Title.) Madden:  I can't believe it.  Are the Horsemen over? Tenay:  Maybe we will find out on Nitro.  For Scott Hudson, Gene Bennett, Terry Taylor and Mark Madden, I am Mike Tenay, see you on Thunder.
