WCW Thunder - Thursday, December 17, 1998

By Aldo

You'll put your eye out, kid!
I warned him about that Red Ryder BB gun!

Jesse sends the following arena report:
  • I got to the show at 7:15, so I missed a few dark matches I believe.
  • Alex Wright defeated Kaz Hayashi in the first dark match I saw. Alex played the crowd very well before the match, so the crowd chanted "USA" throughout. Wright won with a reverse neckbreaker coming off the turnbuckles.
  • Glacier defeated Bobby Eaton. Eaton got a decent pop. I believe Glacier won with a sleeper, but I wasn't exactly concentrating on this one.
  • Wrath defeated Scott Putski with the Meltdown. Wrath got one of the best pops of the evening.
  • Wildcat Willie then came out to a disinterested audience.
  • The announcers were introduced. Marshall was booed, but Bobby got a nice pop.
  • Then the show started. They had sound problems with the video clips that aired on the monitors for most of the show.
  • The loudest pops of the evening went to the Wolfpac members and Scott Hall.
  • The best match of the night was Rey vs. Juvy, but a scuffle in the crowd during the match distracted much of the audience.
  • After the show went off the air, Bischoff and his cronies exited and Flair's son remained on the mat. After several minutes, he was helped up and exited. Then Penzer announced that show was over, to the crowd's displeasure.
  • Penzer announced throughout the show that the Giant would make an appearance, but he never did.
  • Flair has missed three out of the last four shows in his hometown. Two were the result of bogus injuries (Hennig's door slam and this heart attack) and the other was during the lawsuit. Oh well.
