I can see why back in 2000 I stopped watching wcw in late summer/Early Fall these shows are a mess.So many cars being wrecked for no reason,So many kidnappings like every show,Tons of Nutshots and Swerves galore.
On this Thunder I'm watching Kimberly is watching the kidnapped Liz. Liz escapes. Liz ambushes a Kim interview and drags her around backstage by the hair. DDP comes out and sets up a chair. Liz drags Kim out to the ring by her hair to DDP. DDP supposedly spanks Kim but we see a long crowd shot cause Kim's ass is showing. Liz watches from the ramp. Then on the Video Wall we see a live feed of Kanyon's hospital room(Who got thrown off a triple cage and Now's in a coma with spinal issues wearing a halo)where Mike Awesome who did this to him is gonna do horrible things to him. Liz is kidnapped by Palumbo and it's never mentioned. They lose the feed to Kanyon's room. DDP runs to the back. The announcers sound exhausted and baffled.

Also, what was Russo's obsession with Liz being kidnapped and whatnot...I feel like teenage Vinny was coming out a bit with that.

That might be coming up the only bed pan related thing so far is the night after slamboree DDP is holding a candle light vigil at Kanyon's bedside the new blood savagely beat him and Kimberly pours a bed pan on his face. The Liz kidnappings is ridiculous in a month every show she starts held captive then she escapes then she's kidnapped again at this point I've seen her kidnapped atleast 15 times so it's lost its effectiveness.Russo obviously had a thing for Liz cause all the shows he's booked she's all over sometimes over 10 appearances on one show.I've heard him say he thought her only value at the time was T&A segments cause she never did them but she kept refusing those angles so instead he booked her to be constantly kidnapped and either handcuffed or on a leash.

Yeah they said in Death of WCW that Russo had some kind of obsession with trying to get Liz as naked as possible on TV. Hey, it's ECW's Hat Guy and Moustache Guy screaming at Rick Rude in 1987 on this episode of Prime Time And now you've just reminded me of that hilarious signature someone had on here of the Green Lantern fan shoot DVD. They may still have it, I've got signatures turned off now.

I'm guessing Liz wasn't a fan of Russo she stiffs the crap out of him whenever she hits him. I don't know if it's her final appearance because I know she's gone by June but the last nitro I watched near the end of May she goes out in style if that the case. Russo is sick of constantly having to kidnap her and her always escaping. He books her in a hell in a cell match where she's handcuffed to the cage against Madusa. The person working on the cage drops out of the opening at the top and takes off his mustache. Its Lex Luger and he beats up Madusa and racks her. Russo saves Madusa by lowblowing Lex who no sells it cause he's wearing a cup. Russo try's to run away but Liz gives him a leaping punt kick to Russo's junk. Then she rubs Lex's cup in Russo's Face. Then Russo just gets up and Kidnaps Liz again.

On a Nitro in the build-up to Halloween Havoc 2000, Stevie Ray calls Paisley "the worst yak of them all"(whatever that means). Awkward description for your future sister-in-law, huh?

Man, Lex Luger in late 2000 was starting to look a little rough.

So one thing I've learned from 2000 WCW is that Mark Madden was a Kevin Smith fan. Because good LORD, even as a fan of Smith's body of work at the time, it is obnoxious to hear "Snootchy bootchies" every time a woman appears on screen, and "Fly fatass fly!" every time Gen. Rection goes up for a moonsault.

The use of Sunny was weird. Just show up, guest time keep or ref a minis match and just look pretty. She was by all accounts a good manager in Smokey Mountain why did they stop using her as one for such a long ass time?

Bruce Prichard said on her episode that she was a mess,hard to deal with and everybody hated her.She refused to tongue kiss Faarooq and then threatened to beat up Sable soon after that so they stopped her from managing and moved her to the tv hosting side and only appearing occasionally on tv as a guest announcer or ref.By the time they got more racy with the women they were all on the Sable train while Sunny was still a mess but they kept her around cause she was still hot and they hoped she's get herself fixed up.They didn't feel they could trust past what they were doing with her while at the time Sable was a model employee.

But our princess...has escaped!"

I kinda forgot how much I liked the MI Smooth gimmick. Still a terrible wrestler, but he had a weird kind of charisma, and the "shit stirrer" gimmick was fun. Kind of like "Just Joe" done right. Or at least, "better".

Wait, is Thunder on the Network, because I can't find it. No.I'm watching 2000 WCW and decided to experience it in full so I'm watching the Thunders and worldwides from my collection.It has really been a poor decision on my part so far.

The 6/5/00 Nitro has the infamous Kevin Nash vs New Blood gauntlet match. Other tidbits:
- Goldberg gets a gigantic ovation, so they turned him heel a few days later. - There's a segment with Stacy Keibler and Kimberly/Mike Awesome. When they're all still in the ring area, Terry Funk wheels Eric Bischoff to the ring in a wheel barrow because a hardcore title match is going on. - Bischoff wins the Hardcore title from Funk. After the match, for some reason, Ernest Miller beats Funk over the head with his shoe. - There's two cage matches. - Vince Russo tells Goldberg he has two words form him - Spear This, and he does a crotch chop. - Scott Steiner talks about a meeting a freak at a place Tongue and Groove, and he knew she had a good feeling when she looked at the ceiling. - Tony Schiovane reads a promo spot, stops and says "do I have to promote this again? We're just stalling for time here". - Ernest Miller is in like 10 segments. - Stacy Keibler wrestles in heels.

Yep all that happened in one segment and I left out the fact that while Liz was handcuffed to the cage he went chest to chest with her and yelled horrible things at her.

I've been watching 1996 WWF PPV's and I had no idea The Ultimate Warrior's 96 run lasted so long.
I always assumed it was a one-off appearance for WM 12 with the plan to last longer but then he and Vince had a falling out. Turns out he was around until June/July. As great as it is seeing him in the ring during this time period there was really only one decent match (two if you include the Triple H squash at Wrestlemania) and that's against Lawler at KOTR 96. The rest of them are filled with stalling, DQ and count-out finishes.
Also i'm not being sarcastic when I say this. I'm enjoying Ahmed Johnson more than I am Shawn Michaels, I think the insanity may have something to do with it.
