WCW Worldwide - Saturday, 01/20/01

By The Cubs Fan

• Your hosts are Scott and Mike
  • Hudson says because of "legal reasons", they can't show Sin clips till next week.
  • So we'll talk about Meng instead
  • Back to Thunder 1/10, where Meng took on the Harris Brothers.

• Ask WCW.com
  • Again, Mike thinks that his segment is the best
  • This week's question is from Edward Parque from and for Daffney - 

    I think you are the hottest woman in wrestling. And I was wondering why do you always scream at the top of your lungs? I was also wondering if you ever lose your voice after a Nitro, Thunder or PPV?
    

  • Tenay starts answering the questions, not realizing this isn't Ask Mike Tenay
    • AskMikeTenay.com is still available.
      
  • Daffney (in a junkyard somewhere? Probably the WCW old-gimmick holding ground) has apparently inhaled some helium before screaming back an answer at us:

    Why thanks Eddie! Wha-why do I scream? Well because it's so exciting! Watching Crowbar wrestle is the most exciting thing I've seen. And no, I never lose my voice because I got lungs of steel! But let me ask you a question I have a question for you - do you make chickens? 

• It's time for Reel Time Wrestling
  • Mike starts to explain it and Scott holds up bubbles.
    • "What's Mike Tenay's middle name?"
    • "Okerlund."
  • Mike objects and we go to break.

• Okay, for real, Reel Time Wrestling
  • Next week, Sin recap.
  • Tenay recaps the MIA vs Team Canada feud
  • This can't be good.

• Hacksaw Jim Duggan/Lance Storm vs General Rection from Halloween Havoc 2000
  • Um, I don't think I'm PBP a Duggan match.
  • Lance storm is from Calgary, they tell me.
  • I think that's a lie.
  • Bubbles recap how Lance Storm became Team Canada.
  • They snip out the Oh Canada.
  • Rection is from Paramus, NJ.
  • They snip out a bit.
  • Rection trained at Johnny Rodz school.
  • You know where Lance trained.
  • Duggan never trained anywhere, I sometimes think.
  • Rection's first moonsault by accident, slipping into a pool.
  • Why does Duggan get a ghost three count.
  • Referee Scott James is not a jabrone, the bubble tells us.
    • You may think differently.
  • They mention Major Gunns real name
    • "She's Team Canada's Prisoner Of War - Serial # 34D-25-34"
  • Back in the studio, Tenay goes over the roster changes since then.

• WARNING - I just saw Rick Steiner in an ad for a new Battledome episode.

  • Savage going to the top again.
  • Better looking flying elbow.

  • Nick's restarted the count. Savage is up at 8.
  • DDP does not get up.
  • Your Winner: Randy Savage
  • What the heck was the point of showing that match?
  • Tenay says it paved the way for the Hardcore match.
  • Page's career took off after that match.
    • No, that was the Great American Bash match that year.
    • And that was much better.
  • Tenay plugs DDP's book, ddpbang.com

• Bam Bam Bigelow vs Big Vito (w/stick)
  • Don't even ask me why. 
    • The video playing behind him has the right spelling, but some complete idiot couldn't manage that.
    • These people are such morons.
  • They look at the crowd to start the match

  • Vito to the top, slow, and Vito crotches him.
  • Bigelow with the greets from Asbury Park and it doesn't even come close to hitting.
    • Vito's head is about a foot and half from the ground.
    • It wouldn't be so bad if Bigelow did the move not facing the camera.
    • But since he does, it totally exposes the move.
  • But it's good enough for three anyway.
  • Your Winner: Bam Bam Bigelow (4:39)
  • I guess that's an upset.
  • Johnny the Bull is it out, with a long coat.
  • Oh, he had a stick under the coat.
