Thunder comes on the air with Danny Doring in the ring waiting for Lance Storm and our opening match for the Cruiserweight title. Lance Storm got yet another win over a cruiserweight as he defeated Danny Doring.  Doring did get some offense in as he hit his double arm DDT for a near fall.  Doring went to the top for his Danacanda but Storm moved.  Storm then hit his superkick and then locked in the Maple Leaf for the win. Lance Storm made Danny Doring submit to the Maple Leaf in 0:04:42. Rating: * 1/4 (Lance Storm retained the ECW Cruiserweight Title.) Styles:  Welcome to Thunder everyone.  Tonight is the final show before Fall Brawl.  We have several big matches tonight including an eight man tag between The Young Blood and The Andersons teaming with Bill DeMott, Scott Steiner, Disqo and Curt Hennig. Madden:  Also William Regal will take on Chris Candido and in our main event The Dudley's will take on The Undertaker, Lex Luger and Booker T.  Styles:  And when we come back it will be Sting taking on Ray Traylor for the US Title. We go to the back before the break and see Ric Flair arriving at the building.  He is uncharacteristically wearing a baseball hat.  We then see a shot of Shane Douglas laughing in his locker room. Sting defeated a fired up Ray Traylor in a high impact match up.  Sting was dominated early on but Traylor and his power.  Traylor got a two count with a spinebuster.  Traylor went for the Traylor Park Slam but Sting countered into the Scorpion Death Drop for the win.  Sting pinned Ray Traylor with the Scorpion Death Drop in 0:06:04. Rating: * 1/4 (Sting retained the ECW United States Title.) After the match we go to the back.  We see Ric Flair getting a cup of coffee when Shane Douglas comes up.  Douglas:  Hey baldie, do you know when Ric Flair is going to get here?  Why Ric, is that you?  What happened to your lovely blond hair?  Flair:  You think that is funny don't you Shane?  You think what Lawler did to me is funny don't you?  Well Lawler is going to get his Sunday but tonight you can get yours in that ring. Douglas:  You are going to beat me baldie?  Fine, your ass is going to FRANCHISED!  We then go to break.  After the break we see Too Cool taking on Big Vito and Tony Mamaluke. The FBI team picked up a win going into Fall Brawl but they won't be teaming up at Fall Brawl in the Hardcore match up.  However they did team well against Too Cool.  Scotty did hit the Worm on Mamaluke but the official was distracted by Big Vito.  During the argument Mamaluke went into his trunks and knocked Taylor out with a pair of brass knuckles.  Brian Christopher came in but took a shot too.  Mamaluke then went to the top and hit the Guillotine Legdrop for the win.  After the match Vito and Mamaluke put a table up and drove Christopher through it with a Spiked powerbomb.  We then go to break. FBI (Big Vito and Tony Mamaluke) defeated Too Cool when Mamaluke pinned Christopher with the Guillotine Legdrop in 0:05:29. Rating: ** 1/4 In a preview of Fall Brawl we saw tag teams team up to take on their opponents.  The younger team of the Young Blood and the Andersons took out the more experienced team.  The tag champs, Disqo and Hennig didn't have real good team work as they seemed to only want to tag in each others partners.  Finally all hell broke loose with all eight men fighting.  During the fight The Young Blood hit the Too Young to Die on Curt Hennig for the win. The Young Blood and The Andersons defeated Bill DeMott, Scott Steiner, Disqo and Curt Hennig when Johnny the Bull pinned Curt Hennig after the Too Young to Die in 0:06:53. Rating: * 1/2 The TV Champion retained his title in this hard fought match up.  During the match Kanyon came out and stalked Tammy on the outside.  However his opponent in the triple cage at Fall Brawl DDP came through the crowd and attacked Kanyon.  In the ring Candido went for a sitout Piledriver but Regal floated over and hit Cobra Neckbreaker for the win. William Regal pinned Chris Candido with the Cobra Neckbreaker in 0:07:40. Rating: ** (William Regal retained the ECW TV Title.) In the crowd Kanyon and DDP fought until security finally separated them.  Page then went to the ring announcer and took the mic. Page:  Kanyon, this Sunday I am going to make you FELL MY BANG!!! In another preview of Fall Brawl to more of the Hardcore wrestlers went at it as Vampiro and Mikey Whipwreck went one on one.  Mikey picked up the win in this battle by using his usual tricks, namely a fireball.  Vamp went for the Nail in the Coffin but Mikey flipped over his back.  Vamp then turned right into a fireball.  Mikey made the cover and the match was over. No-Countout-No-DQ-Falls-Count-Anywhere Match: Mikey Whipwreck pinned Vampiro with his special move in 0:07:27. Rating: ** 3/4 We go to the back where Jerry Lawler is watching footage of him shaving Flair's head on Nitro.  Suddenly Owen Hart bursts into the locker room. Hart:  Lawler, we are sick of this [BLEEP]!  You and your goons from ECW want to try and bully us around and make us look foolish?  Well how about we fight tonight and find out who is foolish. Lawler:  Owen, just like your brother you have a big damn mouth.  You come into my locker room and want to mouth off?  Well tonight we can find out who is foolish.  I am going to teach you just like I did your grease ball brother. Jerry Lawler got the win with help from his partners at Fall Brawl the Dudley Boys.  During the match Owen completely dominated Lawler with high flying moves and mat wrestling.  Lawler did get several rights but Owen hit a flying lariat.  Owen was about to lock in the Sharpshooter but Spike Dudley ran out and jumped onto the apron.  Owen missed a right hand and Spike hit an Acid Drop over the ropes.  Lawler quickly hit a Piledriver and got the win.  After the match Spike and Jerry were double teaming Owen until Lance Storm ran out and made the save.  Jerry Lawler pinned Owen Hart with the Piledriver in 0:11:21. Rating: ** 3/4 Lance helped Owen to his feet but Owen shoved him away.  Owen goes to leave but Lance spins him around and the two go nose to nose.  They exchange words and finally Owen backs from the ring and we go to break. After the break Shane Douglas picked up one of his biggest wins of all time as he defeated Ric Flair.  Flair came out hot and let some of his aggression out on Douglas.  Flair backed Douglas into the corner and hit a series of chops that turned Douglas chest a bright red.  Flair however was lured into the corner and Douglas hit a low blow.  Douglas then went to work on Flair including hitting his belly to belly suplex.  Flair then came back with a low blow of his own.  Flair was about to lock in his Figure Four when Jerry Lawler came out with a Ric Flair robe on and a blond wig.  Flair started to yell at Lawler while Douglas went into his trunks and pulled out his trusty steel chain.  Flair turned right into a right hand covered with a steel chain.   Douglas then made the cover and we had a huge upset.  Lawler then hit the ring and along with Douglas were about to hit a spiked Piledriver when Douglas opponent at Fall Brawl William Regal made the save.  We then go to the back were Mike Tenay is with The Undertaker, Booker T and Lex Luger. Shane Douglas pinned Ric Flair after hitting him with a foreign object in 0:14:53. Rating: *** Tenay:  Guys, this is a warm for Wargames.  Tonight you face three of your opponents in six man tag action.  Luger:  Mike, tonight we start the elimination process.  A few weeks ago I nearly broke Spike Dudley in half, well tonight I finish that job.  Cyrus will have to find two subs because Spike isn't going to make it to Fall Brawl. UT:  Mike Tenay, tonight the American Bad Ass goes into a bit of retirement and I ride with the devil again.  The Dudley's will know what hell is like because that is what that cage is going to be like for them Sunday. Tenay:  Anything to add Booker? Booker:  Yeah Mike, DON'T HATE THE PLAYER HATE THE GAME!! This really was a preview of Wargames as all six men fought all over the building.  Official Mickey Jay tried all he could to keep everything in the ring but he couldn't.  The Undertaker was 3Ded through a table.  Booker hit a spinebuster type throw off the apron through a table on Spike.  In the ring    D-VON took a powerslam and was about to be racked when Buh Buh broke it up with a low blow.  Booker T then knocked Buh Buh to the floor with a jumping side kick.  On the outside Spike and the Undertaker recovered and gave Taker the Acid Drop.  Finally all six men spilled to the floor and Mickey called for the bell counting both teams out. The Undertaker, Booker T and Lex Luger and The Dudley Boys and Spike Dudley battled to a double countout in 0:10:02. Rating: ** During the brawl Jerry Lawler and Ric Flair joined in.  We go off the air with eight of the ten men from Wargames fighting at ringside.
