• Alex Wright Interview - (Wtih Tony Schiavone)
-Alex Wright rudely took the microphone from Tony Schiavone, and

such as Fit Finley, The British Bulldog, and Norman Smiley. He
claimed he could beat anyone.
• Fit Finley defeated Barbarian (w/Jimmy Hart) with a
Tombstone Piledriver.
-During the match, Scott Hall, with an alcoholic beverage,
interrupted the commentating booth, and temporarily took Lee
Marshall's position. Hall said that Kevin Nash is not his boss,

Barbarian from behind and finished him off with a Tombstone
Piledriver.

Raven made Villano V ram into a chair, he finished off the match
with the Even-Flow D.D.T.
• Chavo Guerrero, Jr. defeated Disco Inferno.

Guerrero, Jr. the victory. Afterwards, Disco rammed Guerrera into

-A very slow-paced match. After Alex Wright hit a Neckbreaker, he
took the win.
• Stevie Ray Interview.
-Stevie Ray said he got a call from Eric Bischoff (who is in
Japan). Bischoff supposedly told Ray not to let The Four Horsemen
on television, since he is the enforcer of the NWO. Backstage,
Doug Dillinger was talking to The Four Horsemen, and let them go
right to the ring. Ray walked out of the way, and made his way
back to the locker room area. As he made his way back, Arn
Anderson nailed him with a crow-bar.
• Four Horsemen Interview - (With Tony Schiavone)
-Arn Anderson said last week's Thunder was a free week for Eric
Bischoff. He said, on Thunder, they would take over WCW, since
WCW belongs to The Four Horsemen. He said Norfolk, Virginia was
Horsemen Country. Dean Malenko thanked Anderson for letting him
become a Horsemen, and said he wouldn't let anyone down. Malenko
remained upset over Curt Hennig's past turn on The Horsemen.
Chris Benoit said Bischoff should change the middle of his last
name. He also insulted Elizabeth. Steve McMichael said The
Horsemen were coming after Bischoff. Ric Flair said Elizabeth was
at the Hilton Hotel, and said that "Dean Malenko, the man of
the thousand positions -- I mean holds -- will show Elizabeth he
is a Horsemen." Flair said The Horsemen are ready to take
over WCW right in Norfolk.
• Goldberg defeated Kanyon with the Jackhammer, to retain
the WCW Heavyweight Title.
-Raven did color commentary during the match, and simply
complained about being mistreated in WCW. Kanyon bragged, saying
he was the best, which costed him the match. Goldberg immediately
speared Kanyon and finished him off with the Jackhammer.
