WCW Week of June 12, 2000 Recap

Nitro
- Goldberg explains he joined the New Blood because... why not? Nash tries to get his hands on Goldberg but he's arrested and taken to the back. Nash vs Goldberg is made for later.
- Jarrett convinces Cat to give Hogan his title shot on this show
- Vito retains the Hardcore Title over Funk after a piledriver off the apron through a table. Funk tries to give Vito props but gets nailed with the title instead.
- Bagwell makes his return from suspension to team with Douglas against Kronic in a losing effort after a miscommunication. Douglas turns on Buff and is pissed that he was left high and dry to deal with their commitments during Buff's suspension.
- There's a press conference where Artist fka Prince Iaukea wants to just be known as the Artist, then MIA's Pops is under the table with pie.
- Loco retains the Cruiserweight Title over the Artist after a bunch of interference from MIA and Paisley
- Jarrett blindisdes Hogan with a guitar shot as he arrives and Horace has been laid out
- Ric challenges Russo and David to a handicap match, with retirement and head shaving on the line for later in the show.
- Jarrett retains the World Title over Hogan via no contest after interference from Russo, Goldberg and GI Bro. Kidman was referee and tried to help Hogan, purely to screw Bischoff, but gets speared, and Hogan gets a jackhammer through a table and carted out of the arena.
- Page has had enough of being screwed with week after week and says it isn't worth all this, so I guess he quit.
- Kiss Demon (just Demon now) makes his return to accept an open challenge from Vamp, which ends in a double countout. 
- Kanyon comes out as a parody of Page, and his open challenge is accepted by Scott Steiner, but the match just ends after interference from Ms. Hancock, Kimberly, Mike Awesome and Kronic.
- Ric loses his match to Russo and David after Ric's daughter throws in the towel, and this shit is finally over
- Kevin Nash vs Goldberg just... ends after interference from pretty much everyone in the New Blood

Thunder

- Johnny the Bull and Vito break up over the dispute of the Hardcore Title, and Nash attacks for... reasons.
- Douglas goads Buff out to the ring, which brings out Candido and Bigelow to reform the Triple Threat, and Kronic make the save.
- Kanyon and Awesome make a challenge which is accepted by Rick and Tank, with the former two getting the win after bad camera angles. Scott makes the save in a post-match beat down after the champions come out to attack.
- Jarrett retains the World Title over Kidman after the Filthy Animals turn on Kidman. Post-match beatdown is saved by Nash, who kidnaps Jarrett.
- Vamp is attacked by Demon's shoot wife Asya, but he hits her with is Nail in the Coffin. Vamp is then thrown into Demon's entrance casket.
- Crowbar comes to the aid of Daffney as she and Hancock and David fight, but David turns on him.
- Steiner retains the US Title over Cat with help from Midajah. Cat then declares the Recliner an illegal choke hold and will strip Steiner of his title if he uses it again.
- David beats Crowbar after smashing a mini-statue over his head, then shaves some of his hair.
- Russo uses Scott Hall's contract to tame Nash, who's laid out by Jarrett and Goldberg. Russo teases ripping up the contract as the show fades out.
