WCW Worldwide - Saturday, 5/13/00

By The Cubs Fan

Bobby Heenan and Scott Hudson are the announcers this week.

They talk about Bischoff, Russo and the New Blood a bit, but first, it's off to the arena and David Penzer for the run down of tonight's card.

Heenan: Penzer should be run down by a truck.
Hudson: I don't disagree with that.

David Penzer talks about the card.

Harris Brothers vs ???
Disco Inferno vs ???
Madusa vs Mona
I'm so lucky, Madusa has stuff to say.

Madusa, who's turned heel apparently, talks about her Monster Truck racing.
Madusa's promises squishing and mashing. Okay.
And she still wants a WCW Women's Title, so she can win it.

Back to Thunder, and the beginning of the end of the New Blood

That's awful quick.
Back to Thunder 5/3, where stuff happened...
...none of which matters now, but it was a nice thought.
The announcers try to get over the concept of New York rules

Which are pretty lame, the way they were used...
All you have to do is just say the other guy submitted to end the match, so why didn't anyone think of it?

They also put over Flair being leader of the Millionaire's Club, which didn't quite work out that way, either.

Back to Thunder again, and we get to some of the matches

Kanyon vs Jarrett

They show DDP hitting the ring, with Kim already in the ring, with the guitar
DDP gets the guitar, and the moment it's about to make contact with Kim's head...
Suddenly, we're watching DDP Diamond Cut Jarrett.
That's odd. That's not the same way they showed those clips on Thunder.

Luger vs Wall
Kidman vs Flair

We're just getting finishes, of course.

DDP vs Vampiro
Sting vs Awesome
Hogan vs Steiner
Kronic vs Douglas/Bagwell
Back to the studio, where they discuss if Kronic are the tag team champions.

Back to Thunder one more time, and the Battle Royal

We see all of a minute, it seems, mostly Savage's arrival.
This time, we get the same editing as Thunder.
The announcers talk about how Savage is back in WCW. Ha.
Heenan does bring up Duggan showing up.

Ask WCW

This week's question is from Josh Matthews, from Tifton, GA

Dear Diamond Dallas Page,
What was it like working on the set of "Ready to Rumble?"

Oooooh noooo.
I'm betting this was a fake one too.
If someone really was a big fan of DDP and wanted to find out what he thought about the movie, they would've gone to his site, www.ddpbang.com already.
DDP answers:

For the Internet monkey out there who wrote in and wanted to know what it was like making the movie "Ready To Rumble", and professional wrestling, the difference is sorta like this: World Championship Wrestling well, THIS IS REAL, and movies, they're fake. Actually, the difference between making movies and professional wrestling is we're live, we're live out in front of 5, 10, 20, 30 thousand people and when you're making movies, you're going "boom boom bump bump cut" and let's do it again. And that happens all day long. "boom boom bump cut", banging your body up and getting to do it all over again. The lines part, that was easy, you know actually delivering the lines, cause it was a real stretch for me playing Diamond Dallas Page. But, uh, the movie was a lot of fun. It was great working with David Arquette and Oliver Platt and Joey Pantaliono and I had a lot of fun.

Mike Rapada vs Disco Inferno.

Tenay and Tony are the announcers.
Disco rushes Rapada from behind, as his music is still playing, knocking Rapada through the ropes.
The announcers, having nothing to about Disco to talk about, since he's been off TV, go back to his "Manager of Champions" gimmick.
Disco to the outside, shot into the camera stand.
Disco with a punch, roll back in, turnbuckle shot.
Disco punch, punch, corner whip is reversed, Rapada with a hiptoss
Rapada off the ropes, dropkick, arm drag.
Rapada holds on to the arm, back to the feet, Disco tries to get out, but Rapada takes him to the mat and drops a leg on Disco's arm.
Back to their feet again, Disco with punches, whip, Rapada ducks under the clothesline and hits the swinging neckbreaker for a 2 count.
Disco rolls out and calls for a timeout.
Rapada tries to pull Disco in by the hair, but Disco hits a stungun.
Disco rolls in, clothesline connects, turnbuckle shot, boots in the corner.
Whip, atomic drop by Disco, dancing, swinging neckbreaker, 2 count.
Disco chinlock, Rapada elbows out, off the ropes, sunset flip.
Disco battles it for a while, then falls back for a 2 count.
Disco up with a back elbow. Dancing.
Disco with kicks to the back, then picks up Rapada.
Disco with a cobra clutch, into a Russian Legsweep.
Cover, 2 count.
Disco with a chokehold, then some bad looking punches.
Disco with a whip, not good looking hot shot, 2 count.
Disco with a slam, dance, 2nd rope, dance elbowdrop misses.
Rapada with punches, whip, reversed, Rapada with a kinda 'flying' forearm.

More of a running punch than what Tenay called it.

Rapada to the top, Disco avoids the flying cross body
Disco with the whip, kick, Last Dance.
Your Winner: Disco Inferno
We go right to black after the finish, for whatever reason.

Corey Williams and Ashley Hudson vs the Harris Brothers

When did the ex-DOA get an engine inserted into the opening of their music?
Anyway, I'm just guessing on which is which. The announcers have no clue.
Harris Brothers attack before the bell.
Ashley's apparently from New Zealand, as evidenced by his flag on his outfit.
Ashley gets a corner clothesline by Heavy D, who hits a couple more.
Tag to Big Ron, double whip, double big boot.
Tony with the "It's not wrestling, it's just fighting" speech while Big Ron hits a punch or something that looked really bad.
Ron with the whip, spinning sidewalk slam for two before Corey breaks it up.
Tag to Heavy D, who gets a drop toe hold and elbow drop.
Tag to Corey, kick, kick, double whip, double dropkick.
Corey with a whip, reversed, Bossman slam by Ron.
2 count, and Ron pulls him up. The announcers miss that, of course.
Whip, back elbow, tag to Don. Hold for punches.
Heavy D with more punches, whip, clothesline misses, Corey hits a diving one to take down Don.
Don up with boots, then elbows, than a cover, for only 2.
Double whip by the Harris Brothers, double backdrop on Williams.
Double whip, H-Bomb.
Hudson comes in, H-Bomb
Even though Williams was the legal man, and he's laying right over there, let's pin Hudson for the win.
Your Winner: The Harris Brothers

My tape is accidentally 10 minutes off, so it cuts off before we get Madusa vs Mona

I know from reports that your winner was Madusa, so there you go.
I'm not that least bit sad that I missed it.
And you all probably got out of a long and pointless complaint.

Anyway, Hudson and Heenan presumably wrap up, and that's it.
