WCW Worldwide - Saturday, 01/07/01

By Tan

• Hi. I'm filling in for The Cubs Fan this week, because "The Man" decided to be not-nice-people and change Worldwide's time without notifying him personally.
• So let's do this - because one time recapping stints for one of the better sites on the Net is a GOOD THING.

• We're joined by Mike Tenay and Scott Hudson this week.

• Hudson tells us stuff.
  • Tenay's gonna give us his Pick of the Week.
  • We're gonna see ourselves some Exclusive Action this week.
  • And everyone's favorite segment, "ask wCw.com."

• Mike gives us some grief about that wonderful Sid/Steiner/Jarrett/Mystery Partner situation.

• Flair on Thunder.
  • Shill me once, shill me twice...
  • Jarrett confronts Flair.
  • Flair says if Jarrett loses tonight's main event, then he won't be in the Sin title match.
  • And tonight's opponent is...the oh so loveable Sid.

• Sid vs. Jarrett (Thunder)
  • Pant leggings for Sid? Whoa.
  • LA PARKA RETURNS!
  • Oh, wait - it was Scott Steiner.
  • What a letdown.

• Scott and Mike talk some more about this situation.
  • They don't even know if it's going to be a 3 or 4 way dance.

• Those Natural Born Thrillers were making a mockery of the titles, until the Insiders beat them, Hudson says.
  • Tenay is such a jerk - he likes the Thrillers. I wanna punch him in the face.
  • He brings up that the MIA had to contend with the same thing that the Insiders will have to do deal with next week at Sin.

• Clips (Thunder)
  • Flair and Sanders talk about the Insiders, who Sanders decided not to book.
  • Sanders tells his Thrillers that there's no way in hell that the Insiders are coming, so the Thrillers can do whatever they like in their match against the MIA.
  • Before the Thrillers vs. MIA match, Sanders says a whole bunch o' nothing.
  • After the match, the Thrillers open up their limo to find...the Insiders! Cue the tomfoolery!

• Tenay and Hudson give their picks for who'll win at Sin.
  • Hudson picks the Insiders.
  • Tenay, that jerk, picks the Thrillers.

• Ask wCw.com: "Your feet look big on TV. What size shoe do you wear?" - Gloria Jacobs to the Cat.
  • Umm...women watch this show? Okaaaaaay.
  • The Cat is a size 13.

• Tenay's pissed about these asinine questions on the show.
  • And he's even more incredulous that Gloria's getting a free Worldwide t-shirt.
  • Scott takes a whiff of the t-shirt and throws it away, believing Mike wore it before.

• Tenay and Hudson talk about Goldberg's book.
  • So we see Goldberg, talking to some radio guy via a mic.
  • He's Jewish and he'd never wrestle on Yom Kippur.
  • They talk briefly about his old football days.
  • We also see some clips of the Power Plant...while Goldberg talks about...the Power Plant!
  • He says he used to watch a lot of Texas Championship Wrestling, with his favorites being Tony Atlas and Bruiser Brody.
  • He realizes that he may be looked at as a role model and accepts it.
  • The key word for all of us to learn from his book is Perseverance.

• Tenay's Pick of the Week.
  • Oh, joy - it's Col. Parker vs. Madusa at Uncensored '96.
  • I think I hate him even more.
  • He thinks his cell phone is a Remote Control, but it won't work. Hudson coughs up the remote.

• WCW Uncensored ' 96: Col. Rob Parker vs. Madusa
  • I think Parker used to team with Jeff Jarrett in Memphis. Thanks, Bill Apter!
  • Madusa looks old here, but somewhat less hideous than her current state.
  • Lockup, Parker with a choke - pushing Madusa into the corner...and a clean break.
  • Locking up again, Parker again with a choke, clean break, but Madusa with a hard shove.
  • Both lockup - this time, Parker is being moved toward the corner, and Madusa hits an armdrag.
  • Parker stalls and tells the ref that Madusa hooked his pants.
  • Parker lifts up Madusa into a fireman's carry, airplane spin, but Madusa rolls him up for 2.
  • Madusa hits a scoop slam on a dazed Parker.
  • Parker rests outside and wipes his brow with a handkerchief while chatting with Dick Slater, who's just come by.
  • Back in, Parker chokes Madusa, lifts her up and there's the double chokeslam.
  • Parker misses an elbowdrop.
  • Madusa hits a missile dropkick from the 2nd rope.
  • Madusa hits another one.
  • Parker goes outside, so Madusa hits a pretty horrid (in execution) plancha on him.
  • Madusa with stomps and kicks.
  • Back in, Madusa whips, reversed, Madusa bounces off and has a waistlock.
  • After a few seconds, she hits a German suplex for 2, as Slater pulls her leg off to kill her bridge.
  • Parker rolls on top - cover, 2, 3.
  • Your winner: Col. Rob Parker in 3:43.

• Tenay gives us the lowdown on what's up with Madusa.
  • She trains the females over at the Power Plant.
  • Also, she writes a column in the WCW mag, which he pulls out.
  • Hudson takes the magazine and shows us the cover, which has Sting on it.
  • Tenay takes it back, so he can look at his column.

• The guys run down the Sin PPV lineup.

• Tenay and Hudson talk about Shane Douglas.
  • He's in our exclusive main event. Somewhere, I think Cubs is smiling.
  • Norman Smiley's the tuneup for Douglas' matchup with General Rection next Sunday.
  • Torrie Wilson doesn't seem to have a name anymore. She's now referred to as the "meal ticket."

• Norman Smiley vs. The Franchise
  • Franchise says to cut the music.
  • To sum this up nicely, he doesn't like Memphis.
