Thunder comes on the air with footage of both Vampiro and Paul Wight turning on WCW and joining Team ECW.  We then go to the back where Paul Heyman is with both men.

Paul:  Listen to me you two.  There is no going back and you haven't joined ECW yet.  Tonight you both have a job to do.  Vampiro, you are going to take out that hick Ray Traylor.  Prove who the truly Hardcore person is.  If you fail you are gone, fired from ECW.  Let's face it Vamp, you won't be welcomed back into WCW either so you would be jobless.  As for you Big Show, you have showed nothing but a lack of energy and effort as of late.  However your size could be used greatly in ECW.  So tonight all we ask is that you finish off The Undertaker once and for all.  Just like Vampiro you will be fired if you can't do the job.  You got it!

Vampiro and Wight both shake their heads and head out.  We then go to ringside where Danny Doring and Roadkill are facing off with the tag team champions Scott Steiner and Bill DeMott.

DeMott and Steiner again had great teamwork and really cut off the momentum that Doring and Roadkill had.  Doring and Roadkill really got destroyed.  The finish came as Roadkill submitted in to the Steiner Recliner.

Bill DeMott and Scott Steiner defeated Danny Doring and Roadkill when S. Steiner made Roadkill submit to the Steiner Recliner in 0:06:17.

Styles:  Welcome to THUNDER!

Madden:  What a show we have for you tonight.  We have already heard about The Undertaker taking on the Big Show and Vampiro taking on Ray Traylor.  We also will see Arn Anderson return to action to take on William Regal for the TV Title. 

Styles:  In six man tag team action the FBI takes on the Misfits.  Also the Dudley Boys will take on The Jersey Boys and Disqo.

Madden:  Also Curt Hennig and Balls Mahoney----wait a second our cameras have picked up Lance Storm heading toward Paul Heyman's office.

Heyman:  Lance, good to see you again.

Storm:  I was told to be here so what do you want?

Heyman:  Well we need another match here tonight.  After what happened on Nitro I have made the following match.  Tonight in that ring it will be Owen Hart and Jeff Jarrett teaming together to take on you and The Man Beast Rhino!

Storm:  Wait a second.  I am not part of this ECW verse WCW war.

Heyman:  But you are an employee so if you don't do what I say you are fired!

Storm:  Fine, I will team with Rhino but don't mess around with me.

After the break we see the Misfit's taking on the FBI.

The FBI got the win as the Misfit's came up short.  Both teams tried to finish it off early with quick tags.  Soon it was Scott Taylor that was singled out by the FBI.  Finally there was a tag to Lash and the match exploded.  The match ended when Lash hit the Whiplash 2000 on Mamaluke.  However the official was getting Too Cool out of the ring.  Vito hit the Big Vito Special Elbowdrop and made the cover for the win.

Rating: ** 1/2

Styles:  The FBI get a win in six man tag team action.  All six men looked good in that action however.

Madden:  All six men are great athletes and it is great to see that kind of action here on Thunder.

We then go to the back where we see Sting and Booker T talking.  Shane Douglas and the Young Blood walk by.

Douglas:  What did you say?

Sting:  Didn't say a damn thing to you so keep walking.

Douglas:  Johnny, you aren't going to take that are you?

JBT:  Were they talking to me?  

Douglas:  I know I wouldn't let them call me a yellowed belly bitched.

Knoble:  You called us that?

Booker:  Actually no we didn't but if you want to step up to the plate boys just ask.

Knoble:  Yeah we will take you two out right here tonight.

Sting:  We don't have to wait-----BECAUSE IT'S SHOWTIME!!!

Sting and Booker T throw their glasses down and head toward the ring.

Styles:  Are they headed this way?

Madden:  I can't believe the opportunity that the Young Blood have here tonight if they can upset the team of Booker T and Sting.  Here comes WCW with ECW right behind them!

In a huge upset The Young Blood picked up the win.  This match was all action with very little rest holds.  Early on Knoble was over powered and skilled as the experienced Sting and Booker dominated the smaller man.  A tag to JBT turned the tide but he was over zealous and missed a flying lariat.  Sting hit a Stinger Splash and went for the Scorpion Death Drop but Knoble hit a flying lariat.  Booker T then hit an axe kick on Knoble.  JTB hit a flying leg lariat on Booker T and then tossed Sting to the floor.  Booker went for the Book End but Knoble hit a low blow.  Knoble and JTB then hit the Too Young to Die finisher on Booker T.  They then made the cover and we had a huge upset.

The Young Blood defeated Sting and Booker T when Johnny the Bull pinned Booker T after the Too Young to Die in 0:14:27.
Rating: *** 1/4

Styles:  WHAT A WIN FOR ECW!!

Madden:  I can't believe it I just can't believe it.  Who would have thought that the inexperience team of Jaime and Johnny would have defeated two former world champions in Sting and Booker T!

Styles:  Lets go to the back Gene Bennett is with Owen Hart and Jeff Jarrett.

Bennett:  Owen, Jeff, tonight you two team up to take on two men you both have had problems with lately, Lance Storm and Rhino.

Jarrett:  Listen up slappy, tonight Canadian Country teams up once again to take out two thorns in our sides.

Hart:  Gene, Lance is nothing but a punk.  My family taught him everything he knows.  So here is a challenge.  At Fall Brawl I want you in an Iron Man match.  60 minutes in the ring, two men enter and only one walks out!

Jarrett:  SO CHOKE ON THAT SLAPPY!

Bennett:  Up next tag team action.

Canadian Country got the win in this unusual tag match.  The team of Storm and Rhino had little teamwork.  Storm actually hit Rhino with a superkick early on in the match.  However Rhino did manage to get Jarrett into the ring.  He worked on Jarrett and actually did make several tags to Lance Storm.  Storm was about to lock in the Maple Leaf when Owen came in and hit a spinning heel kick.  Finally Jeff made the tag and Owen was a house of fire.  He worked over Storm in the corner and just barely dodged a charging Rhino who ended up goring Storm in the corner.  Owen then hit a dropkick on Rhino sending him to the floor.  Storm then went for a missile dropkick but Owen caught him and locked in the Sharpshooter.  Lance tried to fight to the ropes but he was forced to tap out.  After the match Rhino helped Storm to his feet only to clothesline him.  He then hit the gore on Storm before leaving the ring.

Canadian Country defeated Lance Storm and Rhino when O. Hart made L. Storm submit to the Sharpshooter in 0:10:03.

Styles:  What a match!  

Madden:  I can't believe that Rhino would attack Storm after the match like that. 

Styles:  Well Storm isn't a member of either ECW or WCW so he has to be careful.

Madden:  But he didn't even want to team with Rhino.  This smells like a set up to me.  Let's go to the back were the returning Arn Anderson is heading toward the ring.

We see Arn walking toward the ring when William Regal walks up to him.

Regal:  Mr. Anderson, it is great to see you back here in the locker room.  It is an hour to fight you for my TV title.

Arn:  Your TV Title Regal?  I made the title.  I was the one that put that title on the map.  This has nothing to do with ECW verse WCW.  This has to do with me getting back what is mine.

Regal:  Hold it, I am not the enemy.

Arn:  Oh you are Regal, you are.

Arn then walks off with William looking confused.

William Regal retained his title but it wasn't without a fight.  During the match the former TV champion C.W. Anderson came out.  In the ring Regal went right to work on the injured neck of Double A.  Regal went for the Cobra Neckbreaker but Arn racked Regal's eye.  Arn then hit a DDT for a near fall.  Arn worked on Regal's arm using the patented Anderson Hammerlock Slam.  He then put in a nice Armbar.  Regal came back and hit the Cobra Neckbreaker out of nowhere for the win.  After the match C.W Anderson hit the ring and gave Regal a superkick.  Arn got ready to fight but C.W. left without touching Double A.

William Regal pinned Arn Anderson with the Cobra Neckbreaker in 0:06:13.

(William Regal retained ECW TV Title.)

Madden:  What was that all about?  Why didn't C.W. attack Arn?

Styles:  Well it could be that C.W. doesn't have anything against Arn.  Arn didn't take the TV title from him.

Madden:  Well I understand that Curt Hennig is on his way to the ring, and is that Disqo with him?

We see Curt and Disqo heading to the ring and we see Arn coming through the curtain.

Hennig:  Arn, great to see you back.  I have been looking for you all night. 

Arn:  Must not have been looking very hard.  I am not a hard man to fight.  You were probably to busy with your new student anyway.

Arn then storms off.

Disqo:  What was that all about?

Hennig:  Don't worry about it.  Lets get ready for this match.  You just watch my back and everything will be find DI.

Hennig is on a roll.  This is just another in a line of wins.  Early on Balls used his strength to keep Hennig down.  Hennig did take over after Balls missed a huge Moonsault attempt.  From the back Balls partner Mikey Whipwreck tried to interfere but Disqo cut him off.  In the ring Hennig hit a low blow while the official was looking at the brawl on the floor.  Hennig then quickly hit the Hennig Plex for the win.

Curt Hennig pinned Balls Mahoney with the Hennig Plex in 0:06:39.
Rating: ** 1/2

Styles:  Another big win for Curt Hennig.  It seems that Hennig is finally finding his spot here in WCW.

Madden:  Curt is one of the best ever in the business.  He seems to be ready to take a run at the World title so both Rhino and Jeff Jarrett better be careful.  After the break it will be The Jersey Boys, DDP and Kanyon, teaming with Curt's new found student Disqo to face the Dudley Boys.

The Dudley's got the win after more miscommunication from the Jersey Boys.  All throughout the match Kanyon and DDP argued whiled Disqo tried to keep the team in order.  The Dudley's worked over Disqo throughout the match and ended it with the 3D on DI.  After the match Kanyon and DDP continued to argue as the Dudley's laughed.  DDP went to leave when suddenly Kanyon spun him around and gave him the Kanyon Cutter.

Kanyon:  Page, I am sick and tired of carrying your ass.  You came back and took me off my road to stardom because you were too damn selfish.  You wanted to make sure I didn't surpass you and your career.  Well at Fall Brawl I will surpass you and end your career.  DDME, you will feel----my----BANG!!

Disqo stood up only to take a Kanyon Cutter for his troubles.  We then go to break.

After the break Ray Traylor came within an eyelash of becoming the Hardcore Champion once again.  Vampiro and Traylor used every weapon to try to beat each other.  Twice Vamp went for the Nail in the Coffin but Traylor was just too big.  Traylor did hit the Traylor Park Trash but Vamp managed to kick out.  From the back out ran Mikey Whipwreck and Balls Mahoney attacking Traylor.  This brought out Traylor's partner Steve Blackman.  It was soon a five man brawl.  The end came when Vamp hit Traylor with a frying pan from the top rope while Traylor fought off Mikey Whipwreck.  Vamp quickly made the cover for the win.

No-Countout-No-DQ-Falls-Count-Anywhere Match:

(Vampiro retained the Hardcore Title.)

Madden:  What a brawl that was.  Five of the top Hardcore champions brawling.  The Hardcore Title has become a very hotly contested title here.

Styles:  More importantly is that Vampiro stays with the company.  Up next the second of our retirement matches if you will.  It will be The Big Show Paul Wight taking on The Undertaker.  If Wight doesn't win he is gone from the company.

Madden:  That is next.

The Undertaker ended Paul Wight's career in WCW/ECW tonight with a huge victory.  Early on Wight used his size and strength to dominate Dead Man Inc but Taker wouldn't stay down.  Taker came back when Wight missed a huge elbow drop.  During the match Spike Dudley hit the ring and tried to give the Undertaker the Acid Drop but he was tossed to the floor.  Taker turned around right into the Showstopper but Taker hit a low blow.  He then kicked Wight low a second time and with a show of an amazing strength hit the Last Ride and the win.

The Undertaker pinned Paul Wight with the Last Ride in 0:06:25.
Rating: *

Madden:  OH MY GOD!!

Styles:  I was about to say that.

Madden:  I can't believe that the Undertaker could do a move like that to a man the size of the Big Show. 

From the back out runs the Dudley Boys.  They attack Taker and give him the 3D.  Before leaving they do the same for Paul Wight.  We leave the air with the Dudley's standing tall in the middle of the ring.
