Mike Tenay | Bobby "The Brain" Heenan

 

Mike Tenay: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to WCW Thunder, live from the Golden Spike Stadium in Ogden, Utah! I'm Mike Tenay, and alongside me, the legendary Bobby "The Brain" Heenan.

 

Bobby Heenan: That's right, Mike, and what a night we have in store for our fans. We've got three Bound for Glory series matches on the card tonight, and you know these athletes will be giving it their all!

 

Mike Tenay: Absolutely, Bobby. Let's go ahead and take a look at those matchups. First up, it's Sean O'Haire going one-on-one with Lance Storm.

 

Bobby Heenan: Two incredibly talented competitors, and the stakes are high in the Bound for Glory series. Every point counts!

 

Mike Tenay: Next, we've got Chuck Palumbo taking on the unpredictable CM Punk.

 

Bobby Heenan: Punk's certainly been making waves since his arrival in WCW, but Palumbo is no pushover. This one's going to be intense.

 

Mike Tenay: And in our main event of the evening, it's Rob Van Dam squaring off against Shane Helms.

 

Bobby Heenan: What a match that promises to be! Stay tuned, folks, because Thunder is about to bring the storm!

Sean O'Haire vs. Lance Storm

In an action-packed contest, Sean O'Haire secured victory over Lance Storm in a Bound for Glory series match. Storm showcased his technical prowess, but O'Haire's athleticism kept him in the fight. As the match neared its climax, the unexpected happened. Mike Awesome, who was observing from backstage, rushed to assist Storm but inadvertently struck him instead. Seizing the opportunity, O'Haire delivered a devastating Seanton Bomb to claim the win. This victory earned O'Haire his first 2 points in the tournament, while Storm remained at 0. Storm was looking visibly angry at Awesome after the match.

Jeremy Borash: Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with the "Hurricane" Shane Helms, who had a surprising victory over Jeff Jarrett last week. Shane, what are your thoughts on your journey in the Bound for Glory series?

 

Shane Helms: Well, Jeremy, it's simple. Last week, I showed everyone that I can hang with the best of them. That's precisely why I'm in this series, to shock the world, and win it all.

 

[As Helms continues speaking, Rob Van Dam suddenly appears in the background.]

 

Rob Van Dam: Hey there, Shane. Impressive win last week, dude. (RVD extends his hand)

 

[Helms hesitates for a moment, eyeing RVD cautiously, then decides to accept the handshake.]

 

Shane Helms: Thanks, Rob. Respect. May the best man win.

 

[Both men share a nod of mutual appreciation before parting ways, ready to face off in their upcoming match.]

Chuck Palumbo vs. CM Punk

In a crafty matchup, CM Punk managed to secure a win over Chuck Palumbo, but not without some underhanded tactics. As the bout progressed, Punk seized an opportunity, using a handful of tights for extra leverage during a pin attempt. The referee failed to notice the cheating, and the victory went to Punk. This victory propelled Punk's Bound for Glory series points to 4, while Palumbo remained at the starting line with 0 points, leaving him eager to bounce back in the series.

 

CM Punk: (With a triumphant grin) "Well, well, well, it seems that I'm 2-0 in the Bound for Glory series. That's right, I'm on fire!"

 

(Punk pauses for a moment, basking in the crowd's mixed reaction.)

 

CM Punk: "But you know, there's one guy around here who thinks he's the cream of the crop, the big shot, the main event. That's right, I'm talking about you, Booker T."

 

(Punk looks over to the ramp.)

 

CM Punk: "Booker, when we meet again, you'll just be another number in my impressive track record, just like the number you used to wear on the orange suit you used to use. See you soon, sucker!"

 

(Punk drops the mic and makes his exit as the crowd reacts with a mix of cheers and boos.)

John Cena: (With a smug grin, standing at The Tabernacle in Salt Lake City)

 

Yo, listen up, y'all, it's the doctor of thuganomics,

Cena's back in SLC, bringin' it home,

Last Monday on Nitro, BG James had his time,

But tonight, I'm droppin' bombs, you ain’t worth a dime.

 

BG James, you run your mouth like a little pup,

But I'm here to tell you, boy, your rhymes sound like a hiccup,

You thought you'd come to WCW, make a name,

But when I'm done, you'll leave in shame.

 

You see, I've been all around this big, bad world,

Battling legends, facing giants, that would you get all curled,

And what name is that, BG? You down on a knee?

Boy, you ain't worth my time, you can't see me.

 

You claim you're here to shut me up, but that's a joke,

You're just another wannabe, here you have no stroke,

So go ahead, rap your lines, try to diss,

But when it's all said and done, make sure not to miss.

 

I'm about to be the franchise player, the man on top,

You're just a sideshow act, and your career a flop,

So step aside, BG James, take a seat,

'Cause tonight, I'm droppin' you like a bad beat.

 

(Smirking, Cena drops the mic and exits the scene.)

Rob Van Dam vs. Shane Helms

The match started with a series of fast-paced exchanges. Helms used his speed to avoid RVD's early kicks. RVD managed to land some stiff kicks and showcased his martial arts expertise with a roundhouse. Helms countered with a beautiful hurricanrana, followed by a standing moonsault. RVD answered back with a monkey flip, sending Helms sprawling.

 

Helms focused on RVD's legs, trying to ground his opponent by weakening his base. RVD used his flexibility to escape several submission attempts, showing his resilience. Helms executed a perfect German suplex for a close two-count. RVD retaliated with a rolling thunder and a Five-Star Frog Splash attempt, but Helms rolled out of the way just in time.

 

RVD finally managed to catch Helms with a spinning heel kick and a split-legged moonsault. He followed up with his signature move, the Five-Star Frog Splash, landing it perfectly. RVD went for the cover, and the referee counted to three, declaring him the winner.

WCW Monday Nitro (Monday, Wk1 October 2001)

 

Announcers

   

Tony Schiavone | Scott Hudson | Bobby "The Brain" Heenan

 

 

Tony Schiavone: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another action-packed edition of WCW Monday Nitro! We are live from the Golden Spike Stadium right here in Utah!

 

Bobby Heenan: That's right, Tony, and we've got an incredible night of wrestling ahead. The Bound for Glory series is heating up, and we've got some marquee matchups tonight!

 

Scott Hudson: Absolutely, Bobby. It's going to be a night to remember. Let's run down the card for tonight's show!

 

Tony Schiavone: Well, folks, in our Bound for Glory series, Sting will go head-to-head with Bryan Clark. Sting already has 2 points, while Clark is looking to get on the board.

 

Bobby Heenan: And speaking of firsts, BG James will be making his in-ring debut against The Wall. That should be interesting!

 

Scott Hudson: In tag team action, The Legion of the Beast takes on Elix Skipper and Kid Romeo. Can Skipper and Romeo pull off an upset here?

 

Tony Schiavone: Then, in another Bound for Glory series matchup, it's Booker T versus Ric Flair. Both men have 2 points from their first match in the tournament.

 

Bobby Heenan: And finally, our main event, a colossal six-man tag team match! Goldberg teams up with Kanyon and Diamond Dallas Page to take on Scott Steiner and Kronik. This is going to be chaos, Tony!

 

Scott Hudson: It sure is, Bobby! Stay tuned, folks, because Nitro is live, and it's coming your way right after this!

Sting vs. Bryan Clark

In a hard-fought battle, Sting triumphed over Bryan Clark. Throughout the match, Clark's intentions appeared more focused on injuring Sting than securing a win. He relentlessly targeted Sting's lower back, hoping to exploit a potential weakness. Despite the vicious assault, Sting's resilience shone through as he endured the onslaught. In the end, it was Sting's Scorpion Deathlock that forced Clark to submit, earning the iconic wrestler a crucial victory in the Bound for Glory series. With this win Sting is now at the top of Block A with 4 points, while Clark remains at the bottom with 0.

[Backstage in the dimly lit hallway, Mike Awesome cautiously approaches Lance Storm, who's busy looking.]

 

Mike Awesome: [Clearing his throat] Hey, Lance, got a minute?

 

Lance Storm: [Without looking up] What is it, Michael?

 

[Mike Awesome seems a bit uneasy, shifting his weight from foot to foot.]

 

Mike Awesome: [Nervously] Look, Lance, about last week's match... I really didn't mean to mess things up for you. It was an accident.

 

Lance Storm: [Still not making eye contact] Accident or not, it doesn't change the result. We're here to win, Michael, not make excuses.

 

[Storm finally glances up, his expression stern.]

 

Lance Storm: [Continuing] But I'll accept your apology. Just know that things around here are about to change, and you should think long and hard about your role in Team Canada.

 

[As Storm finishes speaking, Shane Helms, with a mischievous grin, enters the scene.]

 

Shane Helms: [Mocking tone] Well, well, well, what's happening here, fellas? Looks like there's some trouble in paradise.

 

[Helms lets out a condescending laugh before turning and walking away, leaving Storm and Awesome to their tense conversation.]

BG James vs. The Wall

The Wall's power and size seemed initially insurmountable as he unleashed his strength with moves like body slams and crushing shoulder blocks. However, BG James displayed agility and quickness, countering with his signature moves like the Pump Handle Slam. As the match progressed, BG James wore down the Wall, delivering a picture-perfect Famouser to secure the victory. This match showcased the classic David vs. Goliath dynamic and left the crowd in awe of BG James' resilience and skill.

______________________   

[BG James is standing in the center of the ring, a microphone in hand. The crowd is buzzing in anticipation.]

 

BG James: "Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell ya somethin'! Last week on Nitro, we had ourselves a little bit of a... how do I say it... an interruption! And that interruption goes by the name of John Cena!"

 

[The crowd boos at the mention of Cena.]

 

BG James: "Now, I've been around the block a time or two, and I've seen my fair share of rookies come and go. But this John Cena, he thinks he's the real deal, ya know what I'm sayin'? He struts around here like he's the next big thing, like he's Eminem or somethin'."

 

[The crowd chuckles.]

 

BG James: "But let me set the record straight, folks. John Cena, you may think you're Eminem, but in reality, you're more like Vanilla Ice! You're all flash and no substance!"

 

[The crowd bursts into laughter.]

 

BG James: "So, here's what I'm proposin', John. Next week on Nitro, you and me, one-on-one in that ring. Let's see if you can back up all that talk with some action. What do ya say, rookie?"

 

[BG James drops the microphone and leave.]

[The scene opens in the opulent backstage locker room area of the Golden Spike Stadium. The walls are adorned with WCW memorabilia and championship belts. The Four Horsemen, Ric Flair, Buff Bagwell, Jeff Jarrett, and Dustin Rhodes, stand together, bathed in the golden ambiance of their surroundings.]

 

Ric Flair: "Woo! Ladies and gentlemen, we're standin' here in the heart of the Golden Spike Stadium, surrounded by our championship glory. We've got the World Tag Team titles, the United States Championship, and we are the most decorated group in WCW history."

 

[Flair gestures to the roaring crowd in the arena, holding up his Four Horsemen hand signal.]

 

Ric Flair: "But you know what? Last week on Nitro, we were caught by surprise. The audacity of Kidman, Samoa Joe, and AJ Styles to interfere in our business! That's somethin' we don't take lightly."

 

[Bagwell flexes his muscles, and Rhodes brandishes the United States Championship.]

 

Buff Bagwell: "You see, we're the champs, and we ain't lettin' anyone mess with our gold. Nobody plays with the Horsemen!"

 

Dustin Rhodes: "And Rey Mysterio, you found out the hard way. You thought you could stand up to the Horsemen, but you ended up flat on your back, injured once again."

 

Jeff Jarrett: "So, Kidman, Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, listen up. You may have had your fun last week, but you're messin' with the wrong crew. This ain't child's play; this is the big leagues."

 

[Ric Flair takes a moment to soak in the crowd's boisterous reaction.]

 

Ric Flair: "Boys, consider this your one and only warnin'. You're in our world now, and we don't play nice. If you wanna dance with the devil, be prepared for the consequences. The Four Horsemen ride again, and we're takin' no prisoners! Woooo!"

 

[Flair drops the microphone with a resounding thud, and the Four Horsemen exit the opulent locker room, leaving an ominous warning echoing throughout the Golden Spike Stadium.]

The Legion of the Beast vs. Elix Skipper & Kid Romeo

In a riveting tag team clash, the fan-favorite duo, the Legion of the Beast (Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Abyss), clashed with the heel tandem of Elix Skipper and Kid Romeo, flanked by Romeo’s associates from 3 Count, Kid Ego and Evan Karagias.

 

Early on, Skipper and Romeo used their past partnership to gain an edge, employing crafty tactics and quick tags. The bout simmered with underlying tension as 3 Count saw this match as an audition for Skipper. However, a pivotal moment occurred when Legion of the Beast unleashed a startling double-team move, frightening Kid Ego and Karagias. In a panic, they deserted their comrades, leaving Skipper and Romeo outnumbered.

 

Capitalizing on the chaos, Abyss delivered a bone-crushing Black Hole Slam sequentially to Skipper and Romeo, sealing the victory for the Legion of the Beast and leaving Skipper's potential alliance with 3 Count in ruins.

[America's Most Wanted (James Storm and Chris Harris) emerge onto the stage, microphones in hand.]

 

Storm: "Listen up, folks! You're witnessing history tonight! Because right here, right now, you're in the presence of the future kings of WCW! And we are rather sick of watching, Legion of the Dinosaur and Legion of the Ugly here taking the spotlight out of us!"

 

The crowd erupts into a mix of shocked gasps and uproarious laughter.

 

Harris: "That's right! Animal, you should be in a museum, not in a wrestling ring. And Abyss, you must be a real hit at Halloween, huh? Face it, you guys don't belong here!"

 

Incensed by the audacious claims of AMW, Road Warrior Animal and Abyss storm down the ramp, their warpaint making their intentions clear. A wild brawl erupts at ringside, with security rushing in to separate the dueling teams.

 

Tony Schiavone: "Oh my! Chaos has erupted here on Thunder! It's an all-out brawl between America's Most Wanted and Legion of the Beast!"

 

Bobby Heenan: "This rivalry is reaching a boiling point, Tony! Bodies are flying everywhere!"

 

Despite the frenzied chaos, it's the imposing duo of Abyss and Road Warrior Animal who ultimately stand tall over their rivals, America's Most Wanted. The crowd is in awe as they watch Animal and Abyss dominate the aftermath.

 

Schiavone: "What a sight! Abyss and Animal have cleared house with AMW! These two teams are absolutely relentless!"

 

Heenan: "You can feel the tension in the air, Tony. The war between these teams is far from over!"

Booker T vs. Ric Flair

Booker T clashed with the wily veteran Ric Flair in an intense Bound for Glory Series showdown. The two masters of the mat demonstrated their wrestling prowess throughout the bout. Flair's cunning tactics kept Booker on the defensive, targeting Booker's knee to limit his high-impact offense. However, Booker's resiliency shone through, and as the match reached its climax, he rallied with a scintillating Scissors Kick followed by the Book End. The three-count echoed through the arena, sealing Booker's victory. With this critical win, Booker T ascended to the top of Block B, sharing the lead with CM Punk and Kanyon, all of them with 4 points. Flair remains at 2 points.

______________________   

 

[The arena is buzzing with energy after Booker T's hard-fought victory over Ric Flair. Booker stands in the center of the ring, raising his arm in triumph as the crowd roars in approval. He signals for a microphone, and the anticipation builds. The camera cuts to the commentary team of Tony Schiavone, Bobby Heenan, and Scott Hudson.]

 

Tony Schiavone: What a tremendous win for Booker T here tonight, guys! He's been on fire in the Bound for Glory Series.

 

Bobby Heenan: You said it, Tony. Booker's showing the world why he's one of WCW's top stars.

 

Scott Hudson: But what's this? It looks like Booker has something to say.

 

[Booker T addresses the roaring crowd, his smile bright as he raises the mic to his lips.]

 

Booker T: (breathing heavily) Now, before I get up outta here, I gotta talk to someone real quick. CM Punk, I'm callin' you out, man! I know you're back there somewhere. You and me, we got some unfinished business. So face me like a man, and do it soon. I’m calling you out for a match either next Thursday on Thunder or one week from now on Nitro. You choose.

 

[The crowd starts to chant, "Punk! Punk! Punk!" But CM Punk doesn't immediately appear.]

 

Tony Schiavone: Booker T wants CM Punk, and he wants him right now!

 

Scott Hudson: This could get explosive!

 

[Suddenly, the lights dim, and a hush falls over the audience as they eagerly await CM Punk's response. After a tense moment, the familiar strains of CM Punk's theme music hit, and the arena is bathed in a pale blue light. Punk emerges from the curtain, mic in hand, sporting his trademark smirk. He confidently strolls down to the ring as Booker watches him intently.]

 

CM Punk: (smirking) Well, well, well, Booker. You certainly are persistent, I'll give you that. But let me tell you something, my friend. I just had a little chat with our esteemed President and GM, Eric Bischoff, and he, unlike you, is aware that in society, we have rules and order.

 

[The crowd boos as Punk continues.]

 

CM Punk: (cont'd) So, as much as I'd love to give you a little taste of what's in store for you in the Bound for Glory series, I'm gonna abide by those rules. We're not gonna settle our differences this week or next week. No, Booker, we're gonna do this the right way, on the big stage. Halloween Havoc, Book. That's where you and I will finally have our day.

 

[Punk drops the mic and confidently exits the ring, leaving Booker T to simmer in the center, his eyes locked on Punk as the crowd buzzes with anticipation.]

 

Tony Schiavone: You heard it, folks! The showdown between Booker T and CM Punk is set for Halloween Havoc!

 

Bobby Heenan: That's gonna be one for the ages, Tony.

 

Scott Hudson: You don't wanna miss it, folks! Halloween Havoc is gonna be off the charts!

[The camera fades in to reveal a dimly lit area backstage, where Sting stands at the forefront, flanked by Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, Rey Mysterio, and Billy Kidman. The atmosphere is charged with a sense of purpose as Sting holds a microphone, ready to address the audience.]

 

Sting: (earnestly, addressing the camera) Ladies and gentlemen, I've stood here with these men for a reason. A reason that goes back to a war, a war with the Four Horsemen, with injustice, and with betrayal.

 

[The audience watches intently.]

 

Sting: (reflectively) When I first started Project Prodigy, it was about you. About giving you, the WCW faithful, a chance to see something new, something different.

 

[The camera pans to Samoa Joe, who stands alongside Sting, his expression unwavering.]

 

Samoa Joe: (firmly, to the audience) It was about creating a path where your favorites, your heroes, could rise above the chaos and injustice.

 

[The audience responds with cheers and nods of agreement.]

 

Sting: (proudly, gesturing to AJ Styles) AJ here, he's carrying the Cruiserweight Championship, a title that deserves the spotlight. But it's about more than gold; it's about fighting for what's right.

 

[AJ Styles steps forward, the championship shining brightly.]

 

AJ Styles: (passionately, addressing the fans) I'm here to represent you, the fans who believe in doing what's right, no matter the odds.

 

[The crowd roars in approval.]

 

[Sting looks toward Rey Mysterio and Billy Kidman.]

 

Sting: (thoughtfully, turning back to the camera) Rey, Kidman, you've been part of this journey before. You've had the chance to join us, to be part of something bigger.

 

[The audience listens closely.]

 

Rey Mysterio: (respectfully, to the fans) Sting, what you're doing with Project Prodigy—it's amazing. But we've decided to follow our own path, carve our own legacy.

 

Billy Kidman: (determined, addressing the crowd) We've learned so much from Sting and the fight for what's right. Sometimes, you've got to carve your own way to make a difference.

 

[The crowd responds with applause, understanding their decision.]

 

Sting: (supportively, to the audience) And that's what Project Prodigy is all about—it's about you, about choices, and about fighting for what's right.

 

[The audience applauds enthusiastically, fully embracing the message.]

 

[The camera fades out, leaving the backstage area filled with the echoes of their individual aspirations and the unwavering spirit of Project Prodigy, with the audience firmly behind them.]

Goldberg, Kanyon and Diamond Dallas Page vs. Scott Steiner and Kronik

Initially, Goldberg, Kanyon, and DDP showcased their teamwork and chemistry, dominating their opponents. However, the tide shifted when Brian Adams and Bryan Clark of Kronik began to target Kanyon's back, paving the way for Scott Steiner's ruthless offense.

 

Just as it seemed that Goldberg, Kanyon, and DDP had regained control with an awe-inspiring double superplex, the arena lights dimmed, and Kevin Nash emerged from the audience. Kanyon, locked onto Nash, left his partners behind to confront the big man.

 

With Kanyon gone, DDP found himself isolated in the ring against Scott Steiner. Despite a valiant effort, DDP couldn't overcome Steiner's onslaught. In the end, Steiner cinched in the Steiner Recliner, forcing DDP to submit.

 

Steiner and Kronik celebrated their victory, while Kevin Nash's surprise interference proved pivotal. This unexpected twist leaves fans eagerly anticipating the ramifications of Nash's return to WCW as alliances shift and tensions rise in the world of professional wrestling.

______________________   

 

The atmosphere in the Golden Spike Stadium was electric as the six-man tag team main event reached its conclusion. With the match over, Kevin Nash, having narrowly escaped a confrontation with Kanyon, watched from a distance.

 

Inside the ring, Diamond Dallas Page (DDP) was visibly furious, his emotions boiling over. He questioned Kanyon's motives, suspicion coursing through his veins. Push turned to shove, and suddenly, these former allies found themselves in a heated brawl. Their punches echoed through the arena as they tumbled up the entrance ramp, disappearing behind the curtain, leaving fans stunned.

 

Back in the ring, the situation wasn't much better for Goldberg, who found himself under assault from Scott Steiner and Brian Adams. Despite the numbers game, Goldberg's indomitable spirit shone through. With a mighty surge of energy, he fought back, spearing all three adversaries in a breathtaking display of power and determination.

 

As the dust settled, Goldberg stood tall in the ring, his dominance reaffirmed, while looking at the World Heavyweight Championship down on the floor. The crowd roared their approval, and the broadcast came to a close, leaving WCW fans eagerly anticipating the repercussions of this explosive night.

Mike Tenay | Bobby "The Brain" Heenan

 

[The Star Of The Desert Arena is buzzing with excitement as the cameras pan over the lively crowd. The WCW Thunder logo flashes on the giant screens, and the pyrotechnics erupt as the show begins. Mike Tenay and Bobby Heenan are at the commentary desk.]

 

Mike Tenay: (With enthusiasm) Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to WCW Thunder, broadcasting live from the Star Of The Desert Arena, in Las Vegas! I'm Mike Tenay, alongside the legendary Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan. Bobby, we've got an action-packed night ahead.

 

Bobby Heenan: (Grinning) That's right, Mike. The action is so hot; it's scorching! And hey, you know what they say, the only thing hotter than this crowd is the desert itself.

 

[Tenay and Heenan share a chuckle.]

 

Mike Tenay: (Nods) Well, speaking of hot, let's run down tonight's card, Bobby. All these matches are part of the prestigious Bound for Glory Series. Well, tonight, we've got a real treat for the WCW fans. Kicking things off, we have Chuck Palumbo facing the wily veteran, Ric Flair.

 

[The crowd erupts into cheers at the mention of Flair's name.]

 

Mike Tenay: (Continuing) Next up, we have a battle of the top contenders in Block B, as Kanyon takes on the ever-confident CM Punk.

 

[The crowd shows their appreciation for the competitive spirit of these two.]

 

Mike Tenay: (With intensity) And in our main event of the evening, it's Rob Van Dam going one-on-one with Big Sexy, Kevin Nash!

 

[The fans go wild at the thought of these two clashing.]

 

Bobby Heenan: (With a sly smile) Mike, you forgot the most important match of all - our audience against the desert's heat! But let's not keep these folks waiting. It's WCW Thunder, folks! Let's get started!

 

[The crowd cheers as the show officially kicks off, setting the stage for an unforgettable night of wrestling action.]

 

Chuck Palumbo vs Ric Flair

In an intense Bound for Glory Series bout, Ric Flair squared off against Chuck Palumbo. Flair showcased his classic in-ring psychology, targeting Palumbo's legs. However, the match took an unexpected turn when Sean O'Haire and Buff Bagwell charged into the ring. Their intrusion sparked an all-out brawl, with fists flying and chaos reigning supreme. Referees and security struggled to regain control, but the mayhem continued. With the match spiraling into bedlam, the official had no choice but to declare it a no contest, thus earning both men 1 point in the Bound for Glory series.

______________________   

 

[The WCW Thunder set transformed into a newsroom backdrop as Shane Helms, dressed in a sharp suit, stepped up to the camera with a confident demeanor.]

 

Helms: Good evening, WCW fans. This is Shane Helms, bringing you an important update on the wrestling world. In two weeks' time, I'll be headlining this very show in a match against Lance Storm in the Bound for Glory series.

 

[The camera zoomed in as Helms maintained his composed news anchor tone.]

 

Helms: Now, folks, you've probably noticed Team Canada's recent turbulence. Mike Awesome's had his struggles, and Lance Storm... well, let's just say the forecast isn't looking too bright for him either.

 

[He paused for a moment, allowing the audience to absorb the situation.]

 

Helms: It's almost comical how their dominos are falling, but this is WCW, where the game can change in an instant. However, rest assured, I'm not here to gloat excessively.

 

[He leaned in, his expression turning serious.]

 

Helms: I'm here to deliver a message—a message that size doesn't dictate success. It's about heart, grit, and the relentless pursuit of victory. Lance Storm, consider this a friendly newsflash: prepare for the battle of your career, because when we collide, it'll be must-see TV.

 

[Helms concluded with a reassuring nod, his news anchor persona blending seamlessly with his intensity.]

 

Helms: Stay tuned, WCW fans, because what I’ll do to Lance Storm will be headline news!

 

[With that, the unique newsroom-style promo came to an end.]

______________________   

 

[Backstage, in a dimly lit area, Kanyon stood before the camera, his demeanor as unpredictable as ever. His disheveled appearance added to his aura of instability.]

 

Kanyon: (Nervously pacing) You see, folks, I've been... I've been trying, really trying to help DDP. It's like, he's got this... (he taps his temple) ...blockage in his mind, and he just can't see the truth.

 

[He clutched his head, a deep frown forming on his face as he continued.]

 

Kanyon: (Muttering) Yeah, that's it... he can't see... the betrayals... the betrayals coming his way.

 

[His gaze suddenly snapped back to the camera, and he leaned in with an intense look.]

 

Kanyon: I've tried to open his eyes, tried to make him see that Big Kev Nash, he ain't no friend. But DDP, he's just... (he shakes his head) ...unfair. Unfair to me, to the truth.

 

[Suddenly, Kanyon's expression shifted again, this time to a sinister grin.]

 

Kanyon: (Whispering) You know what's funny, though? It's funny when you try to help, and they just... don't get it. (He chuckles) But maybe they will. Maybe... maybe they'll see the real Kanyon.

 

[He laughed, a chilling sound that sent shivers down the spine. The camera slowly zoomed out as Kanyon continued to mumble to himself, disappearing into the backstage shadows, leaving an eerie feeling in the air.]

 

Kanyon: Yeah, maybe they'll see... sooner or later.

 

[With that, the unsettling backstage promo came to a close, leaving viewers with a sense of foreboding about Kanyon's intentions and the future of his relationship with DDP.]

Kanyon vs CM Punk

The opening moments were filled with back-and-forth action, showcasing their technical prowess. Kanyon gained an edge with his unorthodox offense, but as the match progressed, Punk's resilience shone through.

Kanyon's focus wavers, as his attention is drawn to the entrance ramp. The blaring entrance themes of Kevin Nash first and then of DDP echoed in the arena. Punk capitalized on the distraction, landing a series of strikes.

Punk then sealed the deal with his signature move, the "GTS" (Go To Sleep), as Kanyon failed to regain his composure. The distraction proved costly, and Punk secured the victory, further enhancing his lead in Block B of the Bound for Glory Series.

[CM Punk stands confidently in the ring, a microphone in hand, ready to address the audience.]

 

CM Punk: Ladies and gentlemen, tonight I want to talk about someone who claims to be a role model. Someone who claims to be a hero. But the truth... well, let’s just say he is the exact opposite of that.

 

[Punk paces around the ring, emphasizing his words.]

 

CM Punk: You all know who I'm talking about – Booker T. A man with a past, a past marred by crime. And he expects us to look up to him? To cheer for him?

 

[The crowd starts to murmur.]

 

CM Punk: Well, I've got a little surprise for you tonight. You see, I've invited Booker himself. Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Booker T!

 

[A little person dressed as Booker T walks down the ramp, impersonating Booker's famous wrestling persona. CM Punk treats Mini-Booker as if he were the real Booker T, mocking him and making references to his past.]

 

CM Punk: Now, let me tell you something about Booker here. He's got a lot of talent… in his little fingers.

 

[Punk helps Mini-Booker to his feet.]

 

CM Punk: Booker, show us the Scissor Kick!

 

[Mini-Booker executes a comedic version of Booker's Scissor Kick.]

 

CM Punk: That's right, folks! Booker has got the skills and the moves!

 

[The crowd laughs at Mini-Booker's antics but boos CM Punk.]

 

CM Punk: But, let's not forget, I'm not here to waste my time with Booker T. He is not big enough for me. Shannon, get in here!

 

[Shannon Moore rushes into the ring, and he and CM Punk start to attack Mini-Booker, continuing the beatdown.]

 

[The crowd watches in shock as Mini-Booker is assaulted by Punk and Moore. The segment serves to build heat for the upcoming match between Punk and Booker T, while still treating Mini-Booker as a legitimate representation of Booker in a humorous manner.]

 

CM Punk: Remember this, everyone! What you just witnessed is what's going to happen to the real Booker T at Halloween Havoc – and he should have seen it coming!

 

[Punk smirks as he continues the assault on Mini-Booker, driving home his message to the audience.]

Rob Van Dam vs. Kevin Nash

Nash's brute strength seemed insurmountable early on as he delivered thunderous power moves, attempting to wear down RVD. However, Van Dam, known for his agility and resourcefulness, swiftly adapted. He unleashed a barrage of kicks, using his educated feet to stun the larger opponent.

The tide turned when RVD soared from the top rope, executing his signature Five-Star Frog Splash. Nash's strength allowed him to kick out just in the nick of time, leaving the crowd in awe.

As the match reached its climax, Nash rallied, threatening with his devastating Jackknife Powerbomb. Yet, RVD's resiliency shone through, as he was able to escape with a Tornado DDT. He ascended the turnbuckle once more, delivering a breathtaking second Five-Star Frog Splash. This time, there was no escape for Nash as RVD secured the three-count. The audience erupted in cheers as RVD claimed victory to close the show. RVD moves to the top of Block A with an impressive 6 points out of 6 possible.

Tentei esconder os planos do torneio ao máximo, ao ponto de na última semana antes do Bound for Glory cada bloco ter 3 possíveis vencedores.

WCW Monday Nitro (Monday, Wk2 October 2001)

 

Announcers

   

Tony Schiavone | Scott Hudson | Bobby "The Brain" Heenan

Tony Schiavone: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to WCW Monday Nitro! We're live from the Golden Spike Stadium in Ogden, Utah, and what a night we have in store!

 

Bobby Heenan: That's right, Tony. We're just a stone's throw away from Halloween Havoc, and the action is heating up!

 

Scott Hudson: Absolutely, Bobby. Let's get right into the matches we have lined up for tonight. In our opening contest, it's Project Prodigy's, AJ Styles, and Samoa Joe taking on Kid Ego and Evan Karagias of 3 Count.

 

Tony Schiavone: And don't forget, folks, we've got Billy Kidman squaring off against Johnny Swinger, and the high-flying Jung Dragons will face the powerhouse duo of Kronik!

 

Bobby Heenan: But the main event is what's got me excited, Tony. Rob Van Dam faces Lance Storm, and in our featured bout, Sting battles Kevin Nash!

 

Scott Hudson: It's going to be a night to remember, and we're counting down to Halloween Havoc. But first, let's head inside the ring where Dave Penzer will introduce our opening match.

 

 

 

AJ Styles and Samoa Joe w/ Sting vs. Kid Ego and Evan Karagias

The match had its early moments, with Kid Ego and Karagias trying to use their speed to their advantage. However, the sheer power and chemistry of Styles and Joe turned the tide.

In the closing moments, Styles unleashed a flurry of quick strikes and high-flying maneuvers, keeping Kid Ego off-balance. Samoa Joe added to the punishment with his precision strikes and submission holds. Eventually, Styles managed to connect with the Styles Clash on Kid Ego, securing the victory for his team.

 

______________________   

The exhilarating victory by AJ Styles and Samoa Joe set the stage for a post-match confrontation that would send shockwaves throughout the arena. As Styles and Joe basked in the cheers from the crowd, the two, joined by Sting, grabbed microphones.

 

Sting: (Addressing the audience) You see, folks, we've had enough. Enough of the sneaky attacks, enough of the cowardly tactics. The Four Horsemen may call themselves the cream of the crop, but tonight, we expose them for what they truly are—cowards!

 

[The arena's atmosphere crackled with anticipation as the trio spoke boldly against their adversaries. Suddenly, the lights dimmed, and the familiar entrance theme of the Four Horsemen echoed through the arena. Ric Flair, Jeff Jarrett, Buff Bagwell, and Dustin Rhodes emerged at the top of the ramp.]

 

[The Horsemen hesitated, a momentary standoff with Project Prodigy brewing. The audience buzzed with anticipation, waiting for a showdown. But the Horsemen, wearing sly grins, took a step back and slowly retreated backstage, leaving the challenge unanswered.]

 

Sting: (Voice ringing out) That's right, you better walk away! But remember, you can’t escape is right around the corner!

 

[The crowd roared in approval as Project Prodigy stood tall in the ring, sending a clear message to the Four Horsemen that their days of ambushes and sneak attacks were numbered.]

______________________   

 

Billy Kidman vs. Johnny Swinger

Swinger showcased his technical prowess, targeting Kidman's midsection with relentless holds and strikes. Kidman, known for his aerial prowess, fought back with quick kicks and a Tornado DDT. In the climax, Kidman soared from the top rope, landing his Shooting Star Press for the emphatic victory.

______________________   

 

[Billy Kidman stands tall in the ring after his victory, a microphone in hand. He seizes the opportunity to address the audience.]

 

Billy Kidman: "Dustin Rhodes, I hope you're watching, and I hope you're listening. You have put my friend, my tag team partner in a hospital bed. You may be the United States Champion right now, but your reign is about to end at Halloween Havoc. I challenge you, Dustin, to put that title on the line against me. And unlike what happened with Rey, you don’t have a prior injury to use for your advantage. "

 

[The camera zooms in on Kidman's determined expression, awaiting a response. Suddenly, Dustin Rhodes's voice booms through the arena.]

 

Dustin Rhodes (via TitanTron😞 "Kidman, you may want this match, but be careful what you wish for. When we meet at Halloween Havoc, it won't just be about titles. It'll be about you and your friend, Rey Mysterio. Because I’m making sure that you reunite with him in that same hospital room. Challenge accepted."

 

[The crowd buzzes with anticipation as the challenge is accepted, setting the stage for a heated showdown at Halloween Havoc.]

______________________   

 

[Diamond Dallas Page (DDP) stands in front of the camera, intensity in his eyes and a microphone in hand. The backstage area is dimly lit.]

 

DDP: "You know, I've been thinking a lot lately, and I can't keep my mouth shut any longer. I've had enough of Kanyon and his obsession with Kevin Nash. He's got this crazy, unstable mind that can't let things go, I get that. I know it was him that opened my eyes to the snake that Nash truly is. But it was me who beat Kevin Nash, not him. I thought that victory would end it all, but no, he keeps dragging it on."

 

[He paces back and forth, frustration in his voice.]

 

DDP: "This obsession has cost us both matches, opportunities, and it's cost him his sanity. Maybe it's time I do something about it, maybe I should beat some sense into him."

 

[The camera pans out as DDP leaves, the air heavy with tension. The saga between DDP and Kanyon continues to brew, and it's clear that this rivalry is far from over.]

______________________   

 

Jung Dragons vs Kronik

KroniK completely overpower Jung Dragons! A brutal Spike DDT from Brian Adams on Kaz Hayashi left him incapacitated. Bryan Clark followed up with a devastating High-Angle Powerslam on Jimmy Yang, securing a dominant victory for KroniK.

But as they celebrated their victory, a sudden burst of energy shook the arena. Goldberg burst forth, spearing both members of Kronik with an earth-shaking ferocity, leaving them crumpled on the mat.

______________________   

 

[The atmosphere in the Golden Spike Stadium was electric as the anticipation as Goldberg asked for a mic.]

 

Goldberg: "Scott Steiner... Scott Steiner, you've been playing games for too long. You and your buddies, thought you could gang up on me. You thought Kronik could stop the unstoppable. But let me tell you something, Scott, and let these people tell you as well."

 

[The crowd roared in approval, the sheer force of their response almost drowning out Goldberg's voice.]

 

Goldberg: "Halloween Havoc is coming, Steiner. You can bring Kronik, you can bring the entire WCW roster, but it won't change a thing. At Fall Brawl, I crushed you all. And come Halloween Havoc, it's a one-on-one fight with no escape for you. You can't hide behind your thugs. You can't hide behind anything. I've trained harder, I've prepared better, and I am ready. Halloween Havoc? It's your apocalypse, Steiner. I'm bringing hell with me."

 

[Goldberg's words shook the very foundations of the arena, and the crowd's applause surged with the weight of the impending battle. Suddenly, a commotion in the background caught everyone's attention as Bryan Clark staggered to his feet, driven by some unseen force. Goldberg turned, his eyes locked onto Clark.]

 

[Without a moment's hesitation, Goldberg lunged, spearing Clark for the second time, causing the crowd to explode in cheers. Goldberg's message was clear – at Halloween Havoc, there would be no escape, and he was ready to bring the fight of his life to Scott Steiner. The camera faded to black, leaving the fans eagerly anticipating the coming showdown. ]

Rob Van Dam vs Lance Storm

High-flying maneuvers and crisp technical wrestling filled the bout, keeping the audience on the edge of their seats. RVD's aerial arsenal was on full display, countered by Storm's calculated offense. RVD's Five-Star Frog Splash loomed, promising an explosive conclusion. However, a pair of unsolicited Canadian allies emerged, donning the Maple Leaf's emblematic colors. One, an imposing figure with long hair and a beard, cast an imposing shadow. The other, a shorter counterpart with cropped hair, matched in zeal. In a flurry, they disrupted RVD's ascent. The smaller ally cunningly tripped the high-flyer as the towering one distracted the referee. It was the opening Storm needed to hit RVD with a Superkick to secure a controversial victory.

 

______________________   

 

Tony Schiavone: Ladies and gentlemen, it seems there's some commotion in the ring.

 

[Shane Helms' music hits, and he makes his entrance to a roaring crowd. He charges into the ring, going straight after Storm, only to be blindsided by the unknown Team Canada members. They ruthlessly assault him, with Mike Awesome assisting.]

 

Bobby Heenan: It's an all-out assault on Shane Helms, guys. He's outnumbered, and Team Canada isn't showing any mercy.

 

[Helms fights back for a moment but soon gets overwhelmed by the sheer numbers. The assault continues, the unidentified Team Canada members viciously targeting Helms. Lance Storm and Mike Awesome stand tall, triumphant in the ring.]

 

Scott Hudson: This is chaos, folks. Team Canada is making a brutal statement here tonight on Nitro.

 

[As the crowd voices their discontent, Team Canada finally leaves the ring, leaving Helms and RVD down and battered.]

 

Tony Schiavone: That was a vicious attack on Rob Van Dam and Shane Helms, and it seems Team Canada is sending a message loud and clear to the WCW roster.

 

[The medical team rushes to the ring to tend to both men as the show continues.]

______________________   

 

Mean Gene Okerlund: Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here backstage with the one and only Booker T. Booker, after the disgraceful actions of CM Punk last week, what's your response to the derogatory comments and the disrespectful portrayal?

 

[Booker T stands tall and composed, looking squarely into the camera.]

 

Booker T: Well, Mean Gene, let me make one thing clear to CM Punk. I've never hidden my past; I've always been open about my troubled youth. I ain't proud of the mistakes I've made, but I've worked my ass off to change, to become a better man, and to become a champion in WCW. I've earned my respect.

 

[Booker's voice grows determined.]

 

Booker T: CM Punk, you can sling insults, you can bring out impersonators, and you can talk all you want. But the fact is, I am a four-time WCW World Champion, and at Halloween Havoc, I'll take you to school. You'll respect my journey, my legacy, and my redemption. You wanna talk about heroes, Punk? Let me show you what a true hero looks like, can you dig that sucka!?

 

[Booker T stares intently into the camera as the crowd's cheers reverberate in the background.]

 

Mean Gene Okerlund: There you have it, folks! Booker T, fired up and ready to settle the score with CM Punk!

______________________   

 

Sting vs. Kevin Nash

The bout showcased Sting's agility as he dodged Nash's power moves. Sting countered a Jackknife Powerbomb attempt with a swift DDT and unleashed his signature Scorpion Death Drop. As the crowd roared, he nailed a powerful Scorpion Death Lock on Nash, forcing the big man to tap out. Sting's victory rocketed him to the top of Block A in the Bound for Glory series with 6 points, sharing the lead with RVD, while Nash remained at 2 points. Sting proved he's still a force to be reckoned with as he eyes championship gold.

______________________   

 

Tony Schiavone: Ladies and gentlemen, what a thrilling contest we've just witnessed! Sting with an incredible victory, but it appears he's got more to say.

 

[Sting stands victorious in the center of the ring, raising his hand as the crowd cheers. He calls for a microphone.]

 

Sting: Hold on just a second, Ogden!

 

[The crowd quiets down, eagerly anticipating Sting's words. He's soon joined in the ring by Samoa Joe and AJ Styles, both of them looking proud of their mentor's win.]

 

Sting: You know, it's nights like these that remind me why I'm still here, why I continue to step into this ring.

 

[The fans cheer loudly, showing their appreciation for the iconic wrestler.]

 

Sting: Jarrett, at Halloween Havoc, you and I will dance once again. The Bound for Glory Series is in full swing, and my mission is to become its inaugural winner, no matter the cost. You've got your guitar, and I've got my Scorpion Deathlock.

 

[Suddenly, the familiar ominous sounds of Horses hit the arena, and the Four Horsemen, led by Ric Flair, make their way to the ring.]

 

Tony Schiavone: Wait a minute! It's the Four Horsemen, and they're heading right for Sting and Project Prodigy!

 

[The Horsemen surround the ring, and a fierce brawl erupts. It's chaos in the squared circle as fists fly, and the audience roars in excitement. The battle rages on, but in the end, it's the Four Horsemen who manage to stand tall.]

 

Bobby Heenan: This is pure mayhem, and it seems the Horsemen have made their statement, Tony!

 

[The Horsemen taunt the fallen members of Project Prodigy, leaving the crowd on the edge of their seats as WCW Monday Nitro goes off the air.]

Announcers

  

Mike Tenay | Bobby "The Brain" Heenan

 

Mike Tenay: "Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to another thrilling edition of WCW Thunder, coming to you live from the Star Of The Desert Arena in Las Vegas! I'm Mike Tenay, alongside the legendary Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan, and we've got a packed card tonight."

 

Bobby Heenan: "That's right, Mike. And if you missed the last Nitro, you missed something special. But don't worry, we've got more exciting action lined up for you tonight."

 

Mike Tenay: "Absolutely, Bobby. The Bound for Glory Series is in full swing, and these matches tonight will have a significant impact on the standings. Let's take a look at what we've got lined up."

 

(The commentators go on to discuss the matchups and their implications for the Bound for Glory Series.)

 

Mike Tenay: "Kicking things off tonight, we have Diamond Dallas Page facing off against Mike Awesome. DDP is looking to get back on track after recent setbacks."

 

Bobby Heenan: "But don't count out Mike Awesome, Mike. He's been making waves, and he's got the talent to upset the best."

 

Mike Tenay: "Then we have Sean O'Haire going one-on-one with the Chosen One, Jeff Jarrett. O'Haire is looking to climb the rankings, while Jarrett is always a threat."

 

Bobby Heenan: "And let's not forget the big one, Kevin Nash taking on Lance Storm. Nash with his size and experience against the technical prowess of Storm. It's going to be a battle."

 

Mike Tenay: "It's going to be a night of intense competition, folks. Stay tuned as we bring you all the action here on WCW Thunder!"

 

(The camera pans over the excited crowd as the show officially kicks off.)

Diamond Dallas Page vs. Mike Awesome

The match saw Awesome's impressive power moves and high-flying agility, but DDP's Diamond Cutter proved to be the equalizer. Page executed a perfect Diamond Cutter to secure the victory, thrilling the Las Vegas crowd. With this win, DDP is back on track and making his presence known in the Bound for Glory Series, while Mike Awesome continues to impress despite the loss.

______________________   

 

Jeremy Borash: Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with CM Punk, who never seems to shy away from stirring the pot. Last week on Thunder, you used a little person dressed as Booker T to mock him. What's your goal here?

 

CM Punk: Borash, let's get one thing straight. I'm here to expose the truth. Booker T might be a fan favorite, but he's got a dark past he doesn't want the WCW universe to remember. He calls himself a hero, but I'm the true hero in this company. When we meet at Halloween Havoc, I'll teach him a lesson he won't forget.

 

(Just as Punk continues, the crowd roars, and Booker T steps into the frame.)

 

Booker T: You just don't know when to quit, do you, Punk? Keep runnin' your mouth, but I promise, at Halloween Havoc, you won't be walkin' away. You can't stop the inevitable, sucka!

 

(Booker T and Punk exchange heated words before the situation escalates into a brawl. The commotion grabs the attention of Punk's disciple, Shannon Moore, who steps in to protect his mentor. The two sides exchange shoves and threats, but Punk and Moore eventually make their escape.)

 

CM Punk: You're lucky, Booker. Halloween Havoc... I'll show the world who the real hero is.

 

(As Booker watches them retreat, he's determined to shut Punk's mouth at Halloween Havoc and reclaim his shot at the WCW World Heavyweight Championship.)

______________________   

 

Sean O'Haire vs. Jeff Jarrett

The bout began with a feeling-out process, both O'Haire and Jarrett trying to assert dominance. O'Haire, the powerhouse, controlled the early exchanges with impactful strikes and suplexes. Jarrett, however, resorted to his cunning, using underhanded tactics to gain the upper hand.

As the match progressed, Jarrett took control with a well-executed dropkick, targeting O'Haire's knee to limit his high-impact offense. O'Haire, known for his resilience, fought back, countering with a crushing spinebuster. Momentum shifted back and forth, with near-falls keeping the audience on the edge of their seats.

Just as it appeared Jarrett was poised for the victory, Buff Bagwell stormed the ring to attack O’Haire, inciting a disqualification. This interference, however, didn't sit well with Jarrett, and the two Horsemen got into a heated argument while Ric Flair tried to quell the turmoil. In the end, O'Haire was awarded the win by disqualification, securing 4 points in the Bound for Glory Series, while Jarrett was left frustrated with just 2.

______________________   

 

Mike Tenay: Sean O'Haire and Chuck Palumbo, have taken to the entrance ramp with microphones in hand.

 

Bobby Heenan: They're up to something, that's for sure.

 

Sean O'Haire: (smirking) Hold on, everyone. We've got something to say!

 

Chuck Palumbo: You know, there's a lot of noise backstage about who's the baddest team in WCW. Well, it's time for us to settle it in that ring!

 

Heenan: I like these kids' spirit! But they will get crushed by the Horsemen! (chuckles)

 

O'Haire: That's right! We're talkin' to you, Four Horsemen. The supposed legends of this business, the old guard.

 

Palumbo: You think you've still got it? Well, we're here to prove that the new blood, the Natural Born Thrillers, are the future!

 

Tenay: They're not holding back. They're taunting the Four Horsemen!

 

O'Haire: (pointing towards the ring) Flair, Jarrett, Bagwell, we're challenging you! Right here, right now. The thrill is back!

 

Heenan: They've certainly thrown down the gauntlet, Mike.

 

Ric Flair: (strutting forward with his signature flair) Let me tell you something, kid. Space Mountain may be the oldest ride in the park, but it's still got the longest line. And the Horsemen are here to stylin' and profilin'! We'll accept your challenge anytime, anywhere, baby!

 

Tenay: That's right, Bobby. And Ric Flair has just accepted the challenge!

 

Palumbo: (smirking) That's what we wanted to hear. Get ready to be taught a lesson, Horsemen, by the new blood!

 

(The crowd roars as it's official. It's going to be an explosive tag team match with the WCW Tag Team Championships on the line!)

______________________   

 

Jeremy Borash: Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with Lance Storm, a man who, as of late, has made quite the impact here in WCW. Lance, you had a bit of a surprise last Monday on Nitro. Can you tell us more about these new faces?

 

Lance Storm: (wearing a smug smile) Certainly, Jeremy. You see, it's not every day that someone as accomplished as myself needs help, but it's all in the name of a greater cause - Team Canada!

 

Jeremy Borash: And what can you tell us about the newest additions to Team Canada?

 

Lance Storm: (pointing at the two men by his side) These fine gentlemen here are Robert Roode and Teddy Hart. They share my vision, my pride for the great white north. (Roode and Hart nod in agreement)

 

Robert Roode: That's right, Lance. We're honored to have the opportunity to represent Canada on this big stage, especially alongside a true Canadian hero.

 

Teddy Hart: You got that right, Robert. The world's going to know soon enough that when you mess with one of us, you mess with all of us. Team Canada is here to dominate!

 

Lance Storm: (looking deadpan into the camera) WCW might not understand it yet, but they soon will. Team Canada is going to take over this company, one polite apology at a time. And we continue tonight with Kevin Nash. Move aside, Big Daddy Cool.

 

(The three members of Team Canada share a hearty laugh as they embrace their Canadian pride, leaving no doubt that they're a force to be reckoned with in WCW. The camara then moved to the side where Mike Awesome was looking at his teammates with a conflicted expression.)

______________________   

 

Kevin Nash vs. Lance Storm

Lance Storm faced Kevin Nash in another bout in the Bound for Glory Series. Nash temporarily embraced the role of the crowd favorite in this match. Storm showcased his technical prowess, keeping Nash on the defensive. Roode and Hart attempted to interfere, but Nash's big boot swiftly sent them sprawling. However, Mike Awesome's distraction gave Storm the opening he needed. A sudden superkick stunned Nash, followed by Storm locking in his signature Canadian Maple Leaf submission. The pain was too much for Nash to bear, leading to his submission. After the match, Mike Awesome's mixed emotions were evident as he celebrated the win alongside Team Canada.

______________________   

 

Mike Tenay: "Lance Storm's underhanded tactics may have secured him the victory, but what about Mike Awesome? There's certainly tension within Team Canada."

 

Bobby Heenan: "Well, you know, Mike, this reminds me of a story about a donkey and a carrot. Storm might be steering the donkey, but it seems like the donkey isn't too fond of the course."

 

Mike Tenay: "Indeed, and that might well come into play next week. Lance Storm takes on Shane Helms, right here on WCW Thunder, and you can bet it'll be a huge showdown with big consequences in the Bound for Glory series."

 

Bobby Heenan: "I'm sure Storm will be watching his back, and his front, and his sides, and... well, you get the picture, Tenay."

 

Mike Tenay: "That's for sure, Bobby. Well fans, we are out of time. Thanks for joining us, and make sure to catch that exciting match next week. Good night, everybody!"

Chris Harris: "That's right, James. Those menaces to society are running around causing chaos and hurting people. Take, for example, my arm. I'm out for weeks, but you know what? We're not backing down."

[Scott Steiner, his bulging biceps glistening under the lights, snatches the microphone with a ferocious grip.]

 

Scott Steiner: Listen up, 'cause I'm gonna lay it down real simple for all you pencil-neck geeks out there. Goldberg, you think you're hot stuff, huh? You beat me at Fall Brawl? Nah, that's bull****! My foot was on the damn rope! Everyone knows that.

 

[The crowd responds with a mix of shock and approval.]

 

Scott Steiner: Bischoff had to strip you of my championship, because it was a damn travesty. But I ain't cryin'. I'm here with Kronik, the baddest mofos you ever did see, and we're gonna put Goldberg in his place, once and for all.

 

[Steiner points at Kronik, who raise their fists in solidarity.]

 

Scott Steiner: I ain't gonna get all fancy with words like some silver-spooned jackass. Goldberg, you're in deep ****. This ain't about titles, it's about pride, and it's about kickin' your fatass.

 

[The crowd roars, the air pulsating with intensity.]

 

Scott Steiner: So, Goldberg, you better say your prayers and eat your vitamins, 'cause the Genetic Freak is comin' for ya. You can bet your candy ass on that. Halloween Havoc is gonna be a bloodbath. You got that, you punk?

John Cena: Well, well, well, Phoenix! Ain't this a sight? Draped in Kings' colors, I'm here to set things right. You see, your Suns, your pride, the love that you claim, they couldn't even win a playoff game!

 

[The Phoenix crowd boos loudly, incensed by Cena's blatant attempt to trigger them.]

 

John Cena: Jason Kidd? More like Jason "Can't Win!" Shawn Marion? Man, that's a real sin. Those playoffs were their big test, but the Kings had 'em stressed. Chris Webber, Vlade Divac, they showed who's best.

 

[The boos grow even louder as Cena basks in the heat from the crowd.]

 

John Cena: Now, BG James, let's talk about you, pal. You're like the Suns; man, it's getting old. You might think you're tough, but you're all talk, like Phoenix in the playoffs, taking a walk.

 

[The crowd's disapproval mounts as Cena goes on.]

 

John Cena: So, I'm here to make it clear, you're beneath my career. You're not worth my time; my climb is too prime. You can't keep up with this rhyme, boy, you're out of line!

But the cheers turn to a chorus of boos as the discordant sounds of " Miseria Cantare " signal the arrival of the ever-controversial CM Punk. He strides down to the ring with a mischievous grin, daringly stepping inside and coming face to face with Booker T, who remains stoic but visibly perturbed.]

 

CM Punk: (Smirking) "Well, well, well, if it isn't Booker T, the hero of our story tonight, right? I mean, we all love a good comeback tale. But let's talk about your past, shall we? Armed robbery, Booker? Real hero stuff, huh?"

 

[Booker clenches his fists, his expression tightening, struggling to maintain his composure.]

 

CM Punk: "See, Booker, you can play the hero, but I'm not convinced. And saying you want to be World Heavyweight Champion again? It doesn't make you a hero. No, to me, that makes you a target."

 

[Booker's restraint snaps. With a fierce roar, he lunges at CM Punk, unleashing a furious assault. He hammers away at Punk in the ring, the crowd cheering for Booker's retribution. The chaos continues as Booker grabs Punk, drags him to ringside, and tears the protective mats away, exposing the cold, hard concrete. With a thunderous crash, Booker delivers a devastating Book End on the unforgiving surface.]

 

[The arena is engulfed in a sea of mixed reactions, a combination of concern and shock. Booker T stands tall over the fallen CM Punk as Nitro fades to black, setting the stage for an explosive showdown at Halloween Havoc.]

WCW Thunder (Thursday, Wk3 October 2001)

 

Announcers

  

Mike Tenay | Bobby "The Brain" Heenan

 

Mike Tenay: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to WCW Thunder live from the Equidome Arena in Phoenix, Arizona! I'm Mike Tenay, alongside the legendary Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, and we have a fantastic night of wrestling ahead.

 

Bobby Heenan: That's right, Tenay. We've got quite the lineup for you tonight. Last Nitro sure ended with a bang, but we're here to get back to the action!

 

Mike Tenay: Absolutely, Bobby. Let's run down the card for tonight. We've got some explosive Bound for Glory Series matches. Rob Van Dam, sitting at the top of Block A with 6 points, takes on Jeff Jarrett, who has 2 points.

 

Bobby Heenan: RVD's been on fire lately, but Jarrett's a crafty veteran. That one should be interesting.

 

Mike Tenay: Next up, Kanyon, Block B with 4 points is only 2 points away from the top of his block, as he faces off against Brian Adams, who's yet to get on the board.

 

Bobby Heenan: It's a must-win for Adams, Tenay. Kanyon's no pushover.

 

Mike Tenay: And finally, Shane Helms takes on Lance Storm. Both men have 4 points in Block A, trying to catch up with RVD and Sting, who are sitting at 6.

 

Bobby Heenan: This is getting intense, folks! It's all about those precious points to secure a shot at the WCW World Championship at Starrcade.

 

Mike Tenay: Well, that's the lineup, folks. Stay with us for some thrilling WCW action!

______________________   

Rob Van Dam vs. Jeff Jarrett

In a gripping Bound for Glory Series match, Jeff Jarrett overcame Rob Van Dam's high-flying arsenal. Jarrett wisely targeted RVD's legs, preventing him from executing high-risk maneuvers. The contest saw RVD unleash a series of Rolling Thunder splashes, but Jarrett countered with his classic Stroke. This well-timed move secured Jarrett's victory, granting him a pivotal win in the series. Despite his effort, RVD couldn't secure the win, leaving him with 6 points, while Jarrett climbed the leaderboard with 4 points in Block A.

 

As Jeff Jarrett celebrated his hard-fought victory over Rob Van Dam, Robert Roode and Teddy Hart, representing Team Canada, stormed the ring. With RVD prone, the two Canadians initiated a brutal beatdown, each man delivering a series of ruthless strikes and stomps. RVD was left injured, writhing in pain.

 

But just when it seemed like RVD was in grave danger, the familiar entrance music of "Sugar" Shane Helms hit the speakers, and the arena roared in response. Helms charged into the ring, launching a spirited counter-attack against Roode and Hart. Helms fought valiantly to protect his ally, RVD.

 

As the dust settled, it became apparent that RVD needed medical attention, and the official staff rushed to his side to tend to his injuries. The Equidome Arena erupted in appreciation of Helms' heroic efforts to save his friend, even if they were not enough to avoid the damage suffered by Van Dam.

[Backstage in the Equidome Arena, Jeff Jarrett stood with a sense of accomplishment, having secured his second win in the intense Bound for Glory Series. Jeremy Borash, the ever-attentive interviewer, didn't waste a moment and fired away with questions.]

 

Jeremy Borash: "Jeff, you just scored your second victory in the Bound for Glory Series, how do you feel right now?"

 

[Jarrett, dressed in his trademark flashy attire, wasted no time in addressing his feelings.]

 

Jeff Jarrett: "Well, Borash, it feels damn good to be back on track. See, the thing is, I might be a former WCW World Heavyweight Champion, but it seems like everybody's forgotten about that. They've underestimated the Chosen One, and that's a big mistake."

 

[Jarrett's confidence radiated as he spoke, his eyes burning with intensity.]

 

Jeff Jarrett: "Now, when it comes to this tournament, people have been quick to dismiss me. But that's fine, 'cause it gives me the chance to remind the entire world who I am."

 

[Borash leaned in, the anticipation in the room palpable.]

 

Jeremy Borash: "And what's next for Jeff Jarrett in the Bound for Glory Series?"

 

[Jarrett tilted his head slightly, a devilish smile playing on his lips.]

 

Jeff Jarrett: "Well, Borash, next on my hit list is obviously Sting. At Halloween Havoc, I promise you, I'm going to beat him and continue my climb in Block A. Mark my words, Jeremy, the Chosen One is gunning for the top spot in the Bound for Glory Series, and regaining the WCW World Heavyweight Champion from one of those two idiots that are fighting for it."

 

[As Jarrett concluded his interview, he left no doubt that he had his sights set on the ultimate goal: to emerge as the top contender in the fiercely competitive Bound for Glory Series. ]

Kanyon vs. Brian Adams

In a hard-fought contest, Kanyon emerged victorious over Brian Adams. Kanyon's crafty in-ring style allowed him to outmaneuver Adams. Adams showcased his immense power but couldn't keep up with Kanyon's tactical prowess. Kanyon secured the win with a devastating Flatliner, solidifying his place in the Bound for Glory Series and silencing any doubts about his abilities.

[The WCW Thunder screen lights up with a graphic, proudly proclaiming "Kevin Nash vs. Shane Helms - Bound for Glory Series Match - Next Week!"]

 

Mike Tenay: "Ladies and gentlemen, we have a huge announcement! Kevin Nash takes on Shane Helms next week on Thunder in a huge Bound for Glory series matchup!"

 

Bobby Heenan: "That's right, Tenay, these two are battling it out in the Bound for Glory Series, and you can bet there's a lot at stake. Helms has been impressive, but Nash, well, he's a true wrestling veteran. This will be something to see."

 

Tenay: "Absolutely, Bobby. Two different generations, two different styles, but only one can come out on top. Don't miss it!"

______________________   

 

[WCW Thunder's stage is adorned with eerie purple and green lighting. The fans are on edge as the tension in the arena rises. Suddenly, the haunting guitar riffs of CM Punk's theme hit, and a chorus of boos fills the arena. Punk, seated in a wheelchair and flanked by his loyal disciple, Shannon Moore, emerges to the jeers of the crowd. Punk's face wears an exaggerated expression of pain, and he clutches his back as if in agony.]

 

CM Punk (in a dramatic tone😞 ) "Ladies and gentlemen, I stand before you... well, actually, I sit before you, as the living embodiment of injustice."

 

[Punk winces in pain as the audience rains down boos upon him.]

 

CM Punk: "You all witnessed the atrocity that unfolded last Monday on Nitro. Booker T, a supposed hero, took it upon himself to commit an act of brutality, a crime against the very essence of this sport."

 

[Shannon Moore nods in agreement, holding a microphone for Punk.]

 

CM Punk: "I'm told that, as a result of this heinous attack, I may not be cleared to compete at Halloween Havoc."

 

[The audience's jeers grow louder, drowning out the voice of the defiant Punk.]

 

CM Punk: "But here's the true tragedy, folks. Booker T, a man with a criminal past, a man who should never have been in a WCW ring, a man who is supposed to be an inspiration, got away with it."

 

[Shannon Moore shakes his head disapprovingly.]

 

CM Punk: "It's time to right this wrong. It's time to disqualify Booker T from the Bound for Glory series! After all, I am the real victim here."

 

[As Punk's words hang in the air, a mixed chorus of boos and some defiant cheers echo through the arena. The self-proclaimed victim, CM Punk, gazes out at the crowd, a conniving smirk dancing on his lips, as the show cuts to a break.]

______________________   

 

Shane Helms vs. Lance Storm

Lance Storm, the cold and calculating technician, starts the match with a methodical approach, attempting to ground Helms. He uses his classic mat wrestling and submissions to wear down his opponent. Helms, on the other hand, relies on his high-flying abilities, attempting aerial moves to break Storm's control.

As the match progresses, Storm's frustration grows. He knows that a victory here will propel him higher in the Bound for Glory Series standings. However, Helms refuses to go down easily, countering Storm's attacks with innovative, acrobatic maneuvers.

Suddenly, the situation takes a chaotic turn. Robert Roode and Teddy Hart, members of Team Canada, rush to the ring, attempting to interfere and aid Storm. The referee quickly intervenes, sending Roode and Hart back to the locker room to preserve the integrity of the match.

Despite the failed interference attempts, Storm remains focused on defeating Helms. He continues to target Helms' legs, trying to set up for his finishing maneuver. As the tension builds, Mike Awesome, the powerhouse of Team Canada, appears at ringside. He eyes Storm but appears reluctant to get involved.

In a critical moment, Storm's persistence pays off. He traps Helms in the Canadian Maple Leaf submission hold. As Helms struggles, Awesome, still appearing conflicted, eventually decides to assist Storm by reaching out to the ropes for added leverage. The referee fails to spot this, and Helms has no choice but to tap out.

Lance Storm wins the match, and the arena fills with jeers. Storm and Awesome exit the ring together, leaving a defeated Shane Helms in their wake. This match adds another chapter to the ongoing drama within Team Canada, as Awesome's decision remains unclear.

Bobby Heenan: Styles and Joe have been making waves, but Chavo is no slouch. This match is a must-watch!

 

Tony Schiavone: Absolutely, Bobby. And in a Bound for Glory Series match, Bryan Clark goes head-to-head with Kevin Nash. Nash has been on a bit of a losing streak lately. Can he turn things around tonight?

Bobby Heenan: You know Punk won't be happy about this, but Booker's got his own problems to deal with.

 

Tony Schiavone: Indeed, Bobby. And in another Bound for Glory Series match, it's Sting versus Sean O'Haire. The stakes are high as both men look to gain momentum in the series.

The intensity peaked when Joe executed a jaw-dropping Muscle Buster, showcasing his dominance. Chavo, resilient, retaliated with a series of quick and precise high-flying maneuvers, keeping the audience on edge. As the match reached its climax, Joe locked in the Coquina Clutch, seemingly sealing the win. Yet, in a desperate move, Chavo delivered a calculated low blow, earning himself a disqualification.

 

[Following the disqualification finish, the arena is buzzing with a mix of boos and cheers. Samoa Joe stands in the ring, visibly furious after Chavo Guerrero Jr.'s low blow. The referee is checking on Joe, who seems ready to unleash his wrath on Chavo.]

 

Tony Schiavone: (excitedly) What was that about?! Chavo Guerrero Jr. resorting to a low blow to avoid Samoa Joe's Coquina Clutch!

 

Bobby Heenan: (smirking) Well, sometimes, you have to do whatever it takes to survive in that ring, Tony.

 

[As Joe menacingly advances toward Chavo, the crowd's anticipation grows. Suddenly, the opening notes of AJ Styles' theme hit, and the Cruiserweight Champion rushes down to the ring, attempting to mediate.]

 

Tony Schiavone: (shouting) Here comes AJ Styles! He's trying to prevent Joe from tearing Chavo apart!

 

[AJ Styles steps between Samoa Joe and Chavo, gesturing for Joe to calm down. Joe looks torn between his rage and AJ's calming influence.]

 

Scott Hudson: AJ Styles, the voice of reason here. He knows how crucial it is to keep things in control, especially with Halloween Havoc just around the corner.

 

[Chavo, standing on the ramp, revels in the chaos he's caused. He taunts both Joe and Styles, goading them with a mocking applause.]

 

Chavo Guerrero Jr.: (mic in hand, smirking) Oh, what's the matter, Joe? Can't handle the heat? And AJ, you're just as much of a sucker as he is!

 

[AJ Styles, frustrated but composed, keeps Joe at bay. The crowd is on its feet, torn between supporting Joe's quest for revenge and AJ's attempt to maintain order.]

 

Tony Schiavone: (shouting over the chaos) Emotions are running high here on Nitro! Chavo has stirred the hornet's nest, and AJ Styles is doing his best to keep Joe in check!

 

[As Chavo continues taunting, the camera fades out, leaving the viewers eagerly anticipating the fallout from this explosive confrontation.]

______________________   

 

[The scene opens in the locker room, where Team Canada—Lance Storm, Teddy Hart, Robert Roode, and Mike Awesome—are gathered, engaged in a nostalgic conversation about their childhoods in Canada. The atmosphere is light-hearted as they share tales from their past.]

 

Lance Storm: (smirking) Ah, those were the days in Calgary, the true heart of Canada.

 

Teddy Hart: (nodding) You said it, Lance. Nothing beats the memories of our Canadian upbringing. The smell of maple syrup in the morning…

 

[The camaraderie is momentarily interrupted by Mike Awesome, who seems eager to share his own childhood story.]

 

Mike Awesome: (grinning) Guys, you won't believe the adventures I had as a kid. So, picture this: a young Mike, backyard, wrestling with...an alligator!

 

[The other three members of Team Canada exchange confused glances, not quite buying into Mike's story.]

 

Robert Roode: (laughing) An alligator in Canada? Mike, where in Canada did you find an alligator?

 

[Mike Awesome leans in, a mischievous glint in his eye.]

 

Mike Awesome: (deadpan) Well, you see, it wasn't in Canada. It was in my hometown of Tampa, in the great state of Florida!

 

[The room falls silent for a moment as the other three members process this revelation. Teddy Hart and Robert Roode burst into laughter.]

 

Teddy Hart: (chuckling) Tampa, Florida? You got us there, Mike!

 

Robert Roode: (laughing) I thought you were a true Canadian, but turns out, you're the second most hated thing for Americans… a floridian!

 

[While Hart and Roode find the humor in the situation, Lance Storm remains stoic, his expression betraying a hint of disappointment. The room is filled with laughter, but Storm's reaction suggests he might not find the revelation as amusing as the others.]

Bryan Clark vs. Kevin Nash

The match began with Nash asserting his dominance, hitting powerful Big Boots and Snake Eyes. However, the tide turned unexpectedly when Clark, known for his agility, evaded a Jackknife Powerbomb attempt. Swiftly capitalizing, Clark unleashed his devastating finisher, the "Darkside Slam," stunning Nash and securing an unforeseen victory. The arena echoed with disbelief as Clark's agility and strategic reversal left fans and Nash alike stunned by the surprising outcome, that left Nash completely out of contention in the Bound for Glory series.

 

Nash clenches his fists, visibly in disbelief. He paces around the ring, shaking his head in denial. The fans watch in anticipation, sensing the impending explosion of Nash's mounting frustration.

Suddenly, Nash unleashes his pent-up anger. He grabs a steel chair from ringside, slamming it against the ring apron. The loud clang echoes through the arena as Nash furiously kicks the steel steps, his frustration boiling over.

Ignoring the referee's attempts to intervene, Nash defiantly tosses the chair into the ring. He continues his tantrum, throwing a nearby table out of sheer frustration. The crowd watches in awe as Nash, unable to accept the loss, leaves a trail of destruction in the ring.

 

[As the chaos unfolds, Bryan Clark wisely exits the ring, giving Nash the space to vent his frustrations. The camera captures the aftermath of Nash's tantrum, emphasizing the emotional toll of yet another unexpected defeat for the former powerhouse.]

Mean Gene: (smiling) Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with BG James, and BG, you've got something on your mind.

 

BG James: (nodding) That's right, Mean Gene. I've been watching this new guy, John Cena, running his mouth. Talks a big game, but I haven't seen much action. So, I'm throwing down the challenge. Cena, Halloween Havoc, you and me in the ring.

 

[As BG James finishes, the camera captures John Cena swaggering into the scene, confidently rapping in his trademark style.]

 

John Cena: (grinning) BG James, you want a piece of me? Your career's like your rhymes, outdated, can't you see? Halloween Havoc with you? I'd rather pass. Everybody knows I would break you like glass.

Eric Bischoff: (smirking) What's going on here, gentlemen? BG, you want a piece of Cena?

 

BG James: (nodding) That's right, Eric. Cena's been all bark, no bite. I want to see if he's as good as he says he is.

 

Eric Bischoff: How about we make this interesting? Cena, if you accept BG's challenge and beat him at Halloween Havoc, I'll give you a shot at the WCW United States Championship.

 

[Cena's eyes light up at the proposition, his cocky demeanor taking center stage.]

 

John Cena: (smirking) You want me, BG? Well, congrats, you got it. But Halloween Havoc, it's gonna be a massacre. Eric, you sweeten the deal with a title shot, and now we're talking. BG you haven’t seen squat.

 

[BG James smirks back, confident in the challenge he's just laid down. The tension is palpable as the stage is set for an intriguing matchup at Halloween Havoc.]

[Dustin paces, his frustration evident with each step. The camera zooms in on the championship belt, gleaming in the low light.]

[Dustin glares back at Dusty, the air thick with unspoken tension. Dusty, undeterred, continues with a mix of sadness and anger in his voice.]

[Dustin remains defiant, saying nothing in response to his father's plea. The silence hangs in the air, heavy with unspoken disappointment.]

Chris Harris: (nodding) That's right, Storm. The Legion of the Beast, the so-called "Road Warriors" Animal and Abyss. They think they're a force to be reckoned with.

 

James Storm: (chuckles) Reckon they forgot what happens when you cross paths with America's Most Wanted. Now, folks, let's talk plain truth. Animal, you're a relic from the past, riding on the fumes of nostalgia.

 

Chris Harris: (leaning on a rope) And Abyss, big and tough as a bull, but as sharp as a butter knife. Simpleton with a whole lotta mass but not a lick of sense up there.

 

James Storm: (spits tobacco) You see, AMW ain't impressed by big, bad monsters. We deal with 'em the cowboy way.

 

Chris Harris: (smirking) That's right. You might have muscles, but we've got the smarts and the quick draw.

 

James Storm: (raising an eyebrow) So, Legion of the Beast, better polish those helmets and get ready for a Texas-sized whoopin' at Halloween Havoc. We'll send you back to the past where you belong.
