Stingers music playing.

THE DANG FRANCISHE Y'ALL RESPECT

Will it get cut out?

This is legitimately funny. Worth the Paint break.

Don't remember this music. Ok Psycho SID! He didn't last long in 2000 prob why didn't remember it or is this a WWE version edit?

leave to McMahon and his cronies to edit Russo's vision. FOOLS.

Psycho Sid vs Stinger

Pretty sure these matches all for tournament to face Jarrett at Spring Stampede.

I was at the PPV where Sid broke his leg. That we will eventually get to. My first wrestling show

I've still never been to a WWE event.

what shows have you been to Rick?

fans cheering and looking around. Thought someone was running out. Here comes The Wall with a table.

Bound For Glory 06 I think where Sting won the title was the only TNA show I went to. Besides that some IWA MS and CWF indy shows.

The Wall chokeslams Sid through a table

This is pretty much where I quit watching wrestling too. It was obvious by this point that Russo was never going to get 100% creative control and I just became a forum reader/poster. I don't know most of the wrestlers around after that.

Russo actually stole the VKM stable idea from me in a fantasy write up I did on the old Russo forums.

I once played the wall in a high school rendition of A Midsummer Night's Dream

Russo also stole the term "The Brand" that he uses now from a email I sent him.

Ric Flair is calling out the Franchise.

no shit???

Sid Vicious vs Sting ended in a no contest. I give it 3 ***'s

Matches tonight:

Luger vs DDP ****
Sting vs Vicious ***

Hogans still searching for Bischoff. Looks like he took out future members of 3 count.

Yeah.

Nice ready 2 rumble advertisement. That is still my favorite movie of all time.

Bischoff's got it coming to him...

WWE Network/peacock really butchered Jarretts entrance music as well.

If I was doing the drinking game I wanted to do Guitar Shots from Jarrett were definitely going to be a shot or two

shot for a shot Rick good idea I see why Russo would.want to take your stuff

Jeff Jarrett vs Curt Hennig coming up next

Russo is Mcmahons best kept secret.

TNARICK is Russo's best kept secret

Shawn Stasiak coming out!

FORMER MEAT

referee down Stasiak attacks Hennig

Rick are you a member of The PIZZA Group?

The Stroke.

1.2.3.

Nice the Chosen One wins.

Jarrett continues in the tournament.

Gonna give this match Four ****'s

Matches tonight:

Luger vs DDP ****
Sting vs Vicious ***
Jeff Jarrett vs Curt Hennig ****

No. I dont want to keep eating pizza im on a diet. Just figured it was better than alcohol tonight.

Still tho.. like $60 for two pizzas + tip. I felt bad cuz the guy had to wait outside for a bit while I ran my card through.

is this a 5 * rating scale Rick man?

Nash talking to someone on a phone outside.

Stinger promo.

Yes 5 star scale

Ric Flair coming back out in his street clothes.

Ric Flair vs Shane Douglas. Damn this is a PPV quality match about to take place on free tv!!

Darth Maul has been lurking in the crowd all night

you think Russo ever talked to Lucas, maybe planted the seed for Darth Maul or Jar Jar or something?

HERE COMES RUSSO. He's got a bat

Ric Flair vs Shane Douglas ends in no contest. Bat beatdown on Flair.

Give this match 5 stars. *****

Matches tonight:

Luger vs DDP ****

RUSSO CHANGES THE DAMN GAME

Star Wars is for nerds

Kevin Nash on crutches heading out to the ring. on WCW Monday Nitro! When wrestling on TNT was real.

Russo all about the crotch chop

Wolf Pac music still gotta be top entrance music of all time

Nash walking with the crutches to the beat of the song lol.

Nash with the biggest pops of the night

It was SCOTT on the phone! But which Scott. Hall or Steiner? Sounds like its Hall

ECW Heavy Weight champion attacks Nash from behind. Breaks the crutches over him. WHAT IS HE DOING HERE?

Gonna eat Kidmans ass

The mysterious white hummer just crashed into the Limo with Hogan.

IT WAS BISCHOFF!

EAT KIDMAN'S ASS HOGAN

Kidman spray painting the NB New Blood onto Hogan

DDP coming out again. Seems like a lot of wrestling matches on this show so far. I would have had a few less to retain the viewers.

Sting coming out. Must be another tournament match.

DDP vs Sting

Winner goes for the title. Wait wait Double J coming out.

So Spring Stampede is going to be Sunday, that means we have one Thunder and then we will be doing our first PPV.

TOTAL NONSTOP ACTION

DDP vs. Sting ****

Russo and Bischoff backstage talking to Jarrett. The fans want him back out.

Here comes Jarrett

TNA would have big so much bigger if Jarrett would have kept his hair style the same as he had here instead of growing that Ric Flair mullet while he held the title

DDP runs out. Attacks Jarrett. Big Poppa to the rescue. Here comes Luger.

Its a all out war.

Buff Daddy Bagwell. Vampiro. The Wall. Millionaires getting outnumbered.

The Stinger. Clearing house.

Sting taking on the entire new blood. Booker T and the Cat here

Booker T is wearing a suit

Here they come. Bischoff and Russo. Shake hands.

BRET HART!

Staring them down. WCW comes to a end

This episode ive seen a few times. The original airing as well as a watch through on youtube a long time ago and a watch through when I first got the Network.

Still totally forgot about Bret Hart at the end.

Excited to see where Thunder leads us next week. Then Spring Stampede.

Out of 10 I will give this show a 10/10. Exciting matches all PPV quality, debuts and twists and turns.

This was probably the best written wrestling show of all time.

Supreme Olajuwon & Weapon X both came in as the POSTERS OF THE NIGHT. That means they can earn 2 tickets to the $25 raffle.

When we have a tie like this we are going to do the Poster On a Pole match.

The first person to reply with : RUSSO 4 LIFE wins the two tickets.

i need these tickets
 

RUSSO 4 LIFE

Weapon X wins our very first Poster On A Pole match and claims his two entrees into the Ticket Drawing. Ill be back with all of our entry's.

Alright the Tallies are in! Here is where we landed this week heading into the first months big drawing.

Weapon X - 3
TNA&USA#1 - 1
Supreme Olajuwon - 1
#1-norm-fan - 1

Remember to join us next Sunday to watch WCW Thunder April 12th 2000.

You can watch a long on the Peacock Network or watch on my stream.

Russo fan over here

I will try to join if I'm around next time!

If you have the Peacock Network be sure to catch up to where we are before we jump too far ahead of you.

I'm deleting my streams when we get done for the night.

thanks Rick! Hope I actually get to watch soon :rofl:

believe me though brother i can feel the power and genius of Russo flowing in this very thread

Alright to get prepared for next week's Thunder episode I am going to offer my drinking game to anyone out there. I'm trying to go without drinking for awhile but I think this could be a ton of fun.

What you need is your preferred alcohol. If you're a lightweight I guess beers could work as well.

This game might change a bit as storylines advance but right now here is what I got:

Jeff Jarrett guitar shot.. take a shot
Run In interference.. take a shot
Ric Flair Wooo.. take a shot
Scott Hall mentioned.. take a shot
Somebody Spray Painted.. take a shot
On a Pole match.. take a shot
Title Change.. take a shot
Tank Abbott beats up a innocent bystander.. take a shot
Fans chant Goldberg.. take a shot

Total nonshtop ashp paper rick is a thief and a liar. Like his Eddie tribute vid he just lies cheats steals his videos from hard working sheep.

Welcome to the forums you warcraft 2 nerd.

Anyone want to get started early on these? I am super pumped up from last weeks show and I have been wanting to skip ahead without you guys but have been holding myself back.

Maybe we knock out Thunder on Christmas Eve, 9pm est

Spring Stampede on Christmas Day, 9pm est

and then start doing a double combo each Sunday from here out of Nitro/Thunder 9pm est and PPV's when they come up.

Then we can get through these quicker and start on early TNA days. There are a lot of old weekly PPV's I have never seen as I only use to watch every other week and pretty much watched none of them once they hit FSN. I want to watch these before the iMPACT streaming service goes under.

Excited to get to S.E.X, Raven vs. Jarrett, D'LO Brown, AMW, Triple X, Disciples of the New Church, Sonny Siaki, Glen Gilberti, AJ Styles /w Russo. Those were TNA's most creative days.

You know the only TNA episode on Spike TV I watched was probably the first one. Maybe we will even go through those too.. but idk. TNA would have been #1 today if they just let Vince Russo be in charge of creative from the get go. Instead we had Jarrett, Dutch Mantell, Jim Cornette, Dusty Rhodes, Scott Damore all killing the product. IDK if I can sit through those Spike TV days. Russo actually had like a 3 month stint right before Hogan and Bischoff came in where Dixie Carter let him bring in his guys, Disco and Ed Ferrara to creative and it was the most highly praised TNA episodes on Spike TV and hit 1.3 rating something they never managed before that.

Change of plans. I got a case of Coors Light (don't drink these often but had to go to the local gas station)

The wife agreed to me drinking at home tonight instead of in front of her family for Christmas eve dinner lol.

So what I'm thinking is we watch Thunder and Spring Stampede tonight. Gonna be like 4 and half hour block of pure Russo fun. I can't wait.

Merry Christmas to the Radicalz4 Division

Getting close to showtime.

Gonna pop open my first one warm,,,,
