Thunder really sucked before Russo bc it was just a bunch of random matches that didn't have anything going for them...it sucked after Russo too bc his angles were trash but at least it had angles
I agree totally there’s nothing out right awful its just pointless and boring.It’s amazing they had 2 hours in primetime on TBS and they didn’t even try.

I can’t remember when thunder changes when I think back it was a few weeks after Russo shows up.

I've been rewatching them as the Network uploads them in classic content drops and from what I remember it was around November when they started building toward Mayhem, before that the only angles you really saw were in replays of Nitro

At the announce table Heenan pays tribute to Gorilla Monsoon he’s breaking up.
He says the pearly gates of heaven will now be known as the Gorilla Position.Bobby starts crying and Tony gets really excited and starts hyping matches like a robot.
301391-E1-3-F2-D-42-EA-887-F-EF97-CE494289.jpeg

Thoughts-This was heartbreaking I felt so bad for Bobby you could tell how much Monsoon meant to him.Tony came across here like an emotionless dick.

Backstage Malenko finds Saturn he wants answers about what happened last week.

Thoughts-Fine match.They gave Kaz a few showcase spots he’s super talented.The cruiserweight division is pretty lame right now.


Meng beats Konnan relatively quickly with the death grip.
The announcers push Meng as an unstoppable monster.
Thoughts-It was a match.This is another random Meng push we’ll see how long this lasts.

Berlyn yells at him in German.
They turn around to leave but Brad gets up and steals Berlyn’s cane.
Brad hits the bodyguard with the cane.

Thoughts-It might be that I’m 1/15th german but I sympathize with Berlyn in this storyline he just wants to speak his native tongue and Brad’s being a dick.Plus Brad stole his cane.I hope Berlyn wins at Havoc.

Hall & Nash arrive in the crowd and they’ve got beer.
Heenan interviews them he asks when their coming back.

Thoughts-Again their treating everything as a joke but their super over with the crowd.

72-E782-AC-E5-FF-4-D83-96-B5-97303638023-F.jpeg

Thoughts-This is a horrible idea.

The announcers say that was the stuff of nightmares.

Goldberg then spears Sid.
34537668-C121-49-C7-9825-126-EFEF34756.jpeg

The announcers say the match at the ppv is off because Goldberg wasn’t supposed to touch Sid till the ppv.
Thoughts-Yay more interference.The stuff with Goldberg got over real big.Nice cliffhanger with the Sid/Goldberg possibly being off the ppv.

Final Thoughts-Another lackluster show with way too much interference.

Think they just used Thunder to promote Nitro and PPV's a lot of the time. Also as a way to give a lot of the b-talent run outs.

We open at the announce table with Tenay,Larry Z and Kevin Nash.
FA94-C13-B-D930-4531-AAF6-CB0-FD7-BA69-B6.jpeg

Nash says everyone says he was a terrible booker but he was smart enough to book himself into retirement while still getting paid a big fat contract by WCW.
Nash also says that his tenure as booker was disastrous so WCW removed him and are now making him do commentary on thunder to recoup their losses.

A limo arrives and a limo driver who clearly hates his life opens the door

Sid looking dapper in a suit steps out the Limo with 3 lawyers.

Show open and Pyro

Juvi vs Evan Karagias
We wrestle about 3 minutes to mostly silence.
Juvi hits a crossbody from the top.
Crowd explodes as Bret Hart just walks out.
Everyone is baffled.The match just ends.
Winner-Bret Hart I guess?
Bret says he asked for promo time but was told no so he is just gonna take it.
He says he came to the WCW almost 2 years ago and keeps getting lied to.
He left WWF for one reason to beat Hulk Hogan for the WCW Title.
The new writers have told him politics are being played and that match with Hogan will never happen.
Cue Sting’s music.
Sting tells him to quit whining promises are never kept in this business.
Sting offers Bret a title shot tonight.Bret accepts.
The announcers ponder what effect that match might have on the wcw title match at Halloween Havoc.
Thoughts-Interesting.That’s a pretty big title match before the ppv.

At the announce table Tony informs us this is Russo/Ferrera’s 1st show after leaving the WWF.He runs down some matches Sting vs Bret,Total Package vs Goldberg,Harlem Heat vs The Filthy Animals for the tag titles and Madusa vs Mona in an evening gown match.Bobby guarantees both women will be completely naked.This news excites Tony and they fail miserably at a high five.
74-E519-D1-0-C81-41-AE-9002-D62482460-A18.jpeg

Thoughts-That tag match is way bigger than the one at the ppv.Tony continues to be portrayed at a horny pervert no matter who the writers are.Them focusing so much on who’s writing the show is baffling especially in 1999.

Backstage Tenay interviews Sid with his lawyers.Sid starts talking but his lawyer advise him to stop.

Outside Goldberg arrives and Tony wonders what this means.
EDF13450-AE66-4-DB0-99-E6-45-AA63-F47-A1-D.jpeg

Backstage Sid tells his lawyers the match with Goldberg is off.They agree.
FB9-B9754-39-FB-412-D-AD3-C-7-EBD2-BB8-EE9-B.jpeg

Match goes barely a minute.Vampiro dominates for 55 seconds but misses a senton allowing Disco to hit the chartbuster for the pin.
Winner-Disco
Post match Lash attacks Disco and hits him with the Whiplash.
Thoughts-So rushed rendering what they did pointless.The cruiserweight Division has seen better days.

Backstage Larry Z interviews Goldberg who promises he will Jackhammer Sid at the ppv.
Thoughts-Wait I thought the match was off?

Seven promo airs.He hangs out outside the little boys window watching him play with blocks.He tells WCW to fear him.

Backstage Tenay interviews Madusa.She’s pissed at the new writers putting her in an evening gown match cause she’s a real wrestler not one of these fluff girls who takes off their clothes to get a big push.She says she’s quitting wcw instead of doing the match.

ACA45630-E43-E-42-D2-8-CB9-65-D0867-E460-C.jpeg

He tells the women not to touch him.He then talks about the new writers and claims he’s their handpicked chosen one.
Gene asks if they’ve told him that.
Buff says they didn’t have to because its all over the internet.
Buff says he won’t forget the little people when he becomes a huge megastar.Then he poses.

Backstage Larry interviews Mona.She says this evening gown match is a huge opportunity for her in WCW.She promises to rip off Madusa’s clothes.

Backstage Kimberly is searching for David Flair.

Winner-Goldberg
Show goes off the air with Goldberg & Bret celebrating.
D73-CC82-D-B18-E-468-A-9-CFA-9180-F42-D2272.jpeg

Thoughts-Crowd was really hot for this whole segment.TP was actually working hard.I didn’t mind the inference here because the match was short,it featured big stars and the crowd ate it up while the last couple weeks the matches were really long and the crowd didn’t care.

Final Thoughts-Not a great show but it had a ton more energy than the last 2 weeks I’ve been watching.Lots of newsworthy stuff happened.Maybe there was too much stuff going on but to show there’s a new direction you had to deviate from the boring formula WCW had been doing.It felt like a tamer version of 99 Raw.

I’m kinda puzzled by the decisions to keep Sting heel seeing the fans have been cheering him just as loud since he turned on Hogan and its so weird for the announcers to talk about him being an awful person yet the fans love him.
Turning Filthy Animals heel.They were the only cool young group that were over as babyfaces and now their just heel out of nowhere.
Hall & Nash being heel.The fans absolutely love them and want to cheer them so having them as heels is really counterproductive for all involved.

Thumbs somewhat up.It didn’t blow me away but it was different and I leave this show optimistic as there’s a ton of directions they can go.I’m actually looking forward to Halloween Havoc but I’m not looking forward to the go home Thunder.

Final Thoughts-What a dreadfully boring show.Only highlight was the lucha tag which was great.So many video packages.

I like the use of boldin' to break this up. A very good overview, I'd be postin' more in here if these Thunders and Nitros were more fresh in my memory so I could bring things up. Keep it up.

I’m trying some different things with my reviews especially since these Russo 3 hour nitro’s are like 6 months of content in one show I felt like I was writing an opus for that 1st one.

At the announce table Tony is shocked at what we just saw.He comments on the blood.Heenan says it looks like someone hit Sid in the face with 55 tomatoes.They both yell at us about what this could mean.
Thoughts-That’s an oddly specific amount of tomatoes.

In another moment not on Tony’s format sheet Buff Bagwell comes out for a promo.

Thoughts-I guess this is an explanation for no Hogan on the go home Nitro.Crappy finish from what was advertised as the main event world title match but being so early in the show pretty much telegraphed that.

The ref stops the match due to excessive blood loss
Winner and New champ Goldberg
Post match the announcers put Sid over as a total babyface because he still wants to fight.They promise a rematch.
Thoughts-A babyface turn for Sid makes the last month of needing a crooked heel ref and Rick Steiner to win random matches against low card geeks more baffling.


In another moment not on Tony’s format sheet Sting comes out and says he came to Vegas to fight.He issues an open challenge for later tonight against anyone.

Tony mourns the lost of Ric Flair genitals.RIP.
DDP hits David with the diamond cutter and elbows his genitals.
Thoughts-Moral of this story is if you’re a Flair and have genitals don’t come to Halloween Havoc 1999.
DDP and Kim leave.

66492-AEB-94-DE-4-F73-A710-EB6-C840-A6-B93.jpeg

Thoughts-This was alot of stuff for one segment.It seem to work though.I wonder if DDP get the world title shot they said the winner would get?

Their going really hard on The Filthy Animals who the fans are still cheering as heels.


Sting comes out and wants to know who answered his challenge.
Goldberg comes out.

EEF26095-21-C2-49-DC-A1-A0-4-F6-D653219-A8.jpeg

Tony is baffled saying he was told it was non title.
Heenan says maybe someone told the ref something else.
Sting argues with the ref and then gives him the scorpion death drop.
24-B55-E1-D-3-D6-E-43-C3-B6-F3-D4206-D94-FA4-F.jpeg

Heenan says “Why Not?”.
Tony signs off saying this was the damnedest night in the history of our great sport and Don’t forget Nitro tomorrow night.Bobby can’t fathom what will happen on Nitro.

Final Thoughts-This was a newsworthy show if you skipped this one you’d be lost although I just watched it and I still feel kinda lost.There was little good wrestling on the show.It felt like a 3 hour commercial free tv show that they made you pay money for with some slightly bigger matches than you’d get on free tv.It felt like a PPV on Speed and I was okay with that being so early in the new creative direction but hopefully it calms down by the next ppv because if this becomes the norm it will be exhausting.

I watched Fall Brawl from the month prior early this week and I fell asleep due to boredom I didn’t fall asleep during this show.

Thumbs somewhat up
