Thunder comes on the air with footage for the Dudley Boys being destroyed by the entire WCW locker room.  We then go to the back and the WCW locker room.

Flair:  Did you boys see that?  That is how we start to take back our company.  Tonight we need to continue this.

DDP:  Don't just do it for yourselves.  Do it for the fans.  Do it for your families.  Do it for the guys who built this company before we got here.

Taker:  That ring is our house.  These ECW scum are in our house, taking food from our families mouths.  Tonight we take our house back. 

Lance Storm then walks in.

Flair:  What in the hell do you want?  This is WCW country boy.

Regal:  Yeah sunshine, so why don't you bugger off.

Storm:  I am here to make a challenge to any of you WCW boys.  

Flair:  You want a match with someone?  You got me tonight.

Storm:  The great Ric Flair huh?  What are you a 15 time World Champion?

Flair:  That's right.

Storm:  Well that means you lost that title that many times.  Ric, tonight you face the greatest athlete ever to come out of Canada.

Storm leaves the locker room and we go to break.

After the break we see Big Vito in the ring.

Vito:  Hey Maestro, the musica please.  Tonight I am call any of those jabronies of WCW's out.  If you got the grapefruit get your asses out here.

Jeff Jarrett's music plays as he comes out.

Jarrett:  Vito, you greasy slapnut.  I need some ECW punks to test me as I get ready to take out Spike at the pay per view. 

Jeff Jarrett defeated Vito with help from his trusty guitar.  Jarrett and Vito actually had a nice competitive match.  Jarrett however got the win after hitting Vito with the guitar.  We then go to the announce table where Mark Madden is with his new partner Joey Styles.

Jeff Jarrett pinned Big Vito with his special move in 0:06:46.

Styles:  Welcome to Thunder everyone.  We already have WCW all fired up after last week. 

Madden:  Yes we are Joey.  WCW is going to stand up for ourselves.  

Styles:  I understand something is going on in ECW's locker rooms now.

We see all the ECW stars sitting around when suddenly Paul Heyman comes in.

Heyman:  Why in the hell are you people sitting around?  Do you notice two people are missing?  Buh Buh Ray and D-Von are both sitting at home because they couldn't fly thanks to Sting.  Not only Sting it is also because of all of WCW.  Why in the hell didn't you go out there?

Douglas:  Paul, we were locked in, you know that.  Don't come in bitching at us because the company you thought was dead won't die.

Heyman:  Shane, let me remind you of something.  If I fail and WCW comes back your ass is going to be fired.  You and everyone else here is going to be jobless.  Tonight we take the little momentum that WCW has and we crush it.  C.W., I want you to take out Booker T once and for all.  Shane, you are going make Scott Steiner your freak tonight.  Guido, you are going to take that self promoting jerk DDP and show him why ECW is the number one company on the planet.  Doring, Roadkill, Mamaluke, prove yourselves tonight.  It seems that old man Arn Anderson has a couple of young stars all fired up in Jaime Knoble and Johnny.  Rhino, that painted up freak Vampiro says you don't know what hardcore is.  Well tonight Rhino all I have is three words for you-----GORE, GORE, GORE!!!  Lastly I come to you Spike.  Spike you have beat nearly everyone in the world of wrestling.  Tonight I am going to give you the man that set you up.  The man that set up your family.  The man that has your brothers sitting at home.  Tonight I want you to take out Bill DeMott.  TONIGHT IS OUR NIGHT!

We go to break with ECW all fired up.  When we come back it is Booker T and C.W. Anderson.

Booker T had so problems taking care of C.W. here.  Anderson wanted this win for Team ECW but the experience of Booker gave away for the win.  Booker hit the scissors kick followed by the Book End for the win.  After the match Booker was celebrating when the Hardcore Champion Rhino hit the ring.  Booker turned around right into the Gore. 

Booker T pinned C.W. Anderson with the Book End in 0:10:27.
Rating: * 3/4

Madden:  What in the hell was that all about?  What business did Rhino have in the ring?

Styles:  Mark, I have no idea, but here is my question.  Who is going to stop him?

Madden:  Good point.  Up next it is Shane Douglas and Scott Steiner for the US title.

This match went back and forth and Steiner was fired up but Shane Douglas is on of the bests in the game today.  Steiner early on used his power to keep Douglas on the defensive as he tossed Shane around.  Shane came back when he countered a Frankensteiner attempted into a powerbomb.  The end came when Spike Dudley came out and taunted Scott.  Steiner finally turned around right into the Franchiser for the pinfall.

Shane Douglas pinned Scott Steiner with the Franchiser in 0:11:38.
Rating: *** 1/2
(Shane Douglas retained the ECW United States Title.)

Madden:  I can feel WCW losing some of that all important momentum as I speak. 

Styles:  Well up next WCW can come back as a new tag team of Johnny the Bull and Jaime Knoble team with Double A to take on Tony Mamaluke, Danny Doring and Roadkill.

The WCW team picked a big win in this match up.  The experience of Double A along with the youth of Knoble and JTB helped get the win.  Early on Arn was double and triple teamed but a tag to a fired up JTB was the beginning of the end.  The end came when Arn too Doring and Roadkill over the top with a double lariat.  Mamaluke was giving a backbreaker by Knoble and held there until JBT hit his spinning flying legdrop for the win.

Jaime Knoble, Johnny the Bull and Arn Anderson defeated Danny Doring, Roadkill and Tony Mamaluke when Johnny the Bull pinned Doring with the Spinning Flying Legdrop in 0:06:25.

Styles:  A big win for the Young Blood and Arn Anderson.

Madden:  That is a good name there Joey.  The Young Blood, I like it.

Styles:  That is why ECW kicked WCW's ass all the time, we have some creativity.  Up next the TV title is on the line as DDP faces off with Little Guido.

Little Guido made short work of DDP as Page made a big mistake.  Page was so fired up he wasn't thinking and missed a huge flying lariat.  Guido took advantage and hit the Kiss of Death for the huge ECW win.

Little Guido Maritato pinned Diamond Dallas Page with the Kiss of Death in 0:03:50.
Rating: * 1/4
(Little Guido Maritato retained the ECW TV Title.)

Styles:  A huge win for Guido and ECW.  That has to be a major upset in the eyes of most people.

Madden:  As much as I dislike DDME I also think that is a huge upset.  Page just let WCW down big time. 

Styles:  Up next the man with no country Lance Storm takes on The Nature Boy Ric Flair.

In what has to be the best match of the night, Flair picked up a huge win.  This went back and forth was a very technical match.  During the match Chris Candido and Tammy came to ringside.  This however didn't have any difference on the outcome of the match.  The end came when Storm went for a flying legdrop, but Flair moved.  Ric quickly locked in the Figure Four and got the win.  After the match Tammy jumped on the ring apron and distracted Flair showing a little skin.  Flair walked over and planted one on her.  This gave Candido time to get into the ring but Flair was ready.  Ric turned around and started chopping the hell out of Candido.  This brought Tammy in who gave Flair a low blow.  Jerry Lawler came from the back and joined in the attack on Flair.  He was about to Piledriver Flair when Sting began to lower from the rafters.  ECW quickly retreated.  Storm just sat in the corner watching all this.  Sting pointed his bat at Lawler who freaked out and ran to the back with Tammy and Chris in tow.

Ric Flair pinned Lance Storm with the Figure-Four Leglock in 0:09:47.

Styles:  Is Sting stalking the King?  Or was he just saving The Nature Boy from more punishment?

Madden:  I think it is a little bit of both.  Lawler threw that fire in the face of Chris Kanyon a few weeks back and since then I know for a fact that WCW is out to get the King.  If they don't get him before the pay per view, Ric will finish him off there.

Styles:  Well up next is a man that knows a lot about fire, Vampiro as he challenges Rhino for the Hardcore title.

Rhino retained his title in a real fight.  The usual weapons were used in this match several times and it was a hell of a fight.  Early on Rhino had everything going his way as the two men fought to the back.  In the back Booker T attacked Rhino giving the advantage to Vamp.  Vampiro then went to work on Rhino's back and legs trying to keep him down for the three count.  Vamp and Rhino then fought outside into the parking lot.  In the parking lot the two men fought on top of one of the semi's.  Vamp hit the Nail in the Coffin and was about to go for the cover when Mikey Whipwreck appeared.  Vamp and Mikey exchanged blows and Vamp hit a DDT on Mikey.  He turned back to Rhino, who was back on his feet.  From behind Balls Mahoney hit Vamp with his trust chair knocking him right into a huge spinebuster from Rhino.  That was all it took as Rhino retained his title.

No-Countout-No-DQ-Falls-Count-Anywhere Match:
Rhino pinned Vampiro after a spinebuster slam in 0:13:14.

Styles:  OH MY GOD!!

Madden:  Did you see that dent in the top of that truck from Vampiro's head?  That was one of the sickest things I have EVER seen. 

Styles:  Let's get some EMT's out there to check on Vamp.

We go to the back where Bill DeMott is getting ready for his World Title match when Ric Flair walks up.

Flair:  Bill, this your big chance.  This is what you have waited your entire career for.  Tonight you bring the holy grail back to WCW.  Don't let this chance slip out of your hands.  Tonight is the night you prove that everything you have put up with is worth it.  All the concussions, the pain, being away from your family, everything is on the line. 

We go to break with DeMott leaving the locker room for the ring.

The battle was short and sweet as DeMott was like a wrecking crew and Spike couldn't do anything to fight back.  However DeMott was a man possessed and fought with Spike on the floor and got counted out.  That however didn't stop the carnage.

Spike Dudley and Bill DeMott battled to a double countout in 0:03:51.
Rating: **
(Spike Dudley retained the ECW World Title.)

DeMott tossed Spike back into the ring and kept he attack on.  He hit three avalanches in a row and then hit his Moonsault.  DeMott then went to the floor and got a chair.  This brought out Mikey Whipwreck and Balls Mahoney.  They attacked Bill.  Then both locker rooms emptied.  We go off the air with everyone fighting.
