WCW Saturday Night - Saturday, March 18, 2000

By Dan

Well, your main man Dan is back in the driver's seat and I truly appreciate those that stood in for me over Spring Break. Hopefully, WCW has stepped up Saturday Night a notch while I was gone. On another note, I wonder if the rumors of WCW being up for sale might affect Saturday Night remaining on TBS, if that turns out to be true. Well, at any rate, none of that is my concern I've got a show to recap so here you go.
