WCW Worldwide - Saturday, 10/21/00

By The Cubs Fan

• You know, if you look real quick, you can see Eddie Guerrero in the intros.

• Scott and Bobby hype Halloween Havoc
  • Well, Bobby messes with a magazine, while Scott hypes Booker T/Steiner, Konnan/Shane and Goldberg's streak
  • "I was looking at this new WCW magazine with Major Buns, er, Gunns on the cover, and there's a six page story on Goldberg."
  • Anyway, Heenan predicts Goldberg will go over 2000 

• To ringside, with Tony, Mike and Stevie.
  • Robbie Rage in action, as well as Kwee-Wee vs Chris Daniels.
  • Mike and Tony hype them as young guns of WCW.
  • Thing is, Daniels WCW contract ran out - the day before this was taped.

• The heat built up between Booker T and Scott Steiner, Down Under
  • Back to Nitro 10/9
    • The Cat/Booker T vs Mike Sanders/Kevin Nash
    • The Cat taunts Sam Greco, and gets attacked by Mike Sanders
    • Meanwhile, Scott Steiner takes out Booker T with a pipe.
    • Sting takes on Scott Steiner, with Jeff Jarrett as a ref.
    • The Cat and Booker T show up to help.
  • Bobby talks about the things you don't do, like annoying Scott Steiner, and "cooking bacon while naked."

• Goldberg's streak continues
  • Bobby points out that Goldberg is battling jet lag, which makes it even harder.
  • Back to Nitro, where he takes on Big Vito. And Johnny the Bull.
    • Wow, that sure looked awkward when Goldberg went for the pumphandle suplex.
  • Back to Thunder 10/11, where Chuck Palumbo and Sean Stasiak get cleaned out by Goldberg.
    • And that looked awkward when he needed Palumbo out of the way to hit the Jackhammer.
  • Bobby questions the logic of taking 2 or 3 people on at once.
  • As Scott hypes the next segment, Bobby takes out the insert picture of Torrie in the WCW magazine and starts admiring it.

• There's a battle over being the first couple of WCW
  • Sunday Nov 5, on E!, they'll be a special on the Women of WCW. Check your local listings, I guess.
  • Bobby unfolds his picture of Torrie (and some other guy - Shane something) and shows it to us, before we go to the footage.
  • To Nitro
    • Rey Mysterio takes on Elix Skipper
    • Torrie takes on Tygress.
    • The Overdrive is a better name the Play of the Week.
    • Here's the Down Underwear match.
    • And Konnan gets a shot at the North American Title later
      • I'm surprised no one complained about the NA Title being defended in Australia.
  • Oh, Hudson does point that out. Good for him.
  • Bobby and him argue about the name, and Girl Scout cookies.
    • You know, you can see an ad for Ready to Rumble on the back of that magazine.

• It's time for Ask WCW.
  • It's from Marshall Salt, from Savannah GA, for Sting

    What was your favorite World Heavyweight Championship Match?

  • Bobby crashes out of his chair as we go to Sting's response

    Marshall, I don't have just one, um, most favorite world title match, I have two. The first one would be the Great American Bash against Ric Flair in 1990, after I came off major reconstructive knee surgery and the Great American Bash, I think it was July of 1990 against Flair, Baltimore, Maryland, I'll never forget it. And the second Hulk Hogan, Starrcade, 1997, I think it was, and that was big for me. So, not one, two.

  • Bobby appears to be in one piece.

• Halloween Havoc lineup
  • Booker T vs Scott Steiner - World Title Match
  • Goldberg vs Kronik
    • Bobby's not sure Goldberg can make it past Kronik.
  • Sting vs Jeff Jarrett
  • Konnan/Tygress vs Shane Douglas/Torrie Wilson
  • Reno vs A-Wall - Hardcore Title
  • Lance Storm/Jim Duggan vs General Rection - NA Title

• Jason Styles vs Robbie Rage
  • Stevie's asking to be on the announce crew for Steiner/Booker title match, so he can see Booker win.
  • Lockup, Robbie with a headlock, off the ropes, shoulderblock.
  • Robbie off the ropes, and his hiptossed.
  • Styles with a dropkick, but that's pushed away.
  • Robbie with a toe hold into a STF variation.
  • Rage with a chop, chop, whip, under clothesline.
  • Styles with a dropkick.
  • Styles to the top rope, flying cross body ????
  • Styles with a forearm, forearm, whip, leapfrog by Rage, and an overhead belly to belly suplex.
  • Rage with a chop, chop, Oklahoma Stampede.
  • Rage with a slingshot legdrop, then a shoulderblock.
  • Rage with a chicken wing variation of the Crippler Crossface for the tap out.
    • Stevie calls it...something I have no chance of spelling.
      • Cinnonabaki is my best guess
    • Tenay says he's right, that's what they call it - he got scooped.
  • Your Winner: Robbie Rage (2:30)

• Christopher Daniels vs Kwee-Wee (w/Paisley)
  • Daniels attacks from behind, with forearms and kicks.
  • Daniels with a whip, head down too soon, kick to the head.
  • Kwee-Wee with a whip, leapfrog, clothesline misses
  • Daniels with a waistlock, but Kwee-Wee elbows off, and gets pushed towards the ropes.
  • Kwee-Wee springboards off the second rope with a twisting sunset flip, for 2.
  • Kwee-Wee with a kick, kick, whip, backdrop but Daniels lands on his feet.
  • Daniels throws Kwee-Wee down by the hair and celebrates.
  • Kwee-Wee gets mad and jumps on Chris with Thesz press, raining in the punches.
  • Kwee-Wee with a slam, off the ropes, tries for a cross body but Daniels ducks down and pulls the top rope down with him.
  • Kwee-Wee goes flying to the floor.
  • Daniels off the ropes, springboard tope - but Daniels lands bad and makes more contact with his head and the ground, then KW.
  • At any rate, Daniels is back up, and throws Kwee-Wee in the ring.
  • Daniels with a whip, Kwee-Wee with a go behind and a low angle exploder suplex, I guess.
    • Daniels didn't go back, and not much up, but it looked more like an exploder than a belly to back, I guess.
  • Kwee-Wee blocks 3 straight punches and hits his own, whips, dropkick, body slam.
  • Kwee-Wee with a punch, off the ropes, high knee. Cover, 2 count.
  • Kwee-Wee with a whip, tilt-a-whirl but Daniels falls out (blown spot?)
    • Looking again, I think Daniels was supposed to end up with a roll up there.
    • The crowd boos the missed spot.
  • Daniels with the double underhook face buster, but a weak cover only gets 2.
    • The big move got the crowd back in it, though.
  • Daniels with a whip, fireman's carry, Kwee-Wee escapes, Daniels with a half nelson, blocked.
  • Daniels whipped into the ropes, tilt-a-whirl into a inverted powerbomb.
    • That's the Glitter Buster - or so Tony make up.
  • Your Winner: Kwee-Wee (3:45)
  • Okay, but I've seen better from both.
  • Replay shows Daniels landing right on his head on that tope - yeow.

• Scott and Bobby wrap up the show by talking about other Havoc stuff
  • Jeff Jarrett saying Sting lost his heart, mostly.
  • That's it. Back next week.
