WCW Week of July 3, 2000 - Go-Home to Bash at the Beach

Nitro We go to a recap of the World Title shenanigans last week,plus Dale and Vamps's crap, and Steiner and Awesome's issues from Thunder. Then we see Cat on the phone with Bischoff, and we find out he suspended Steiner for a week for using the Recliner again and again. Bischoff apparently points out how Cat broke his own no interference rule but Cat claims the ref was sick. Awesome walks in and asks if Cat made the call, and when Cat assures him he did, Awesome says he'll need "them" when he's finished around there tonight...? I didn't get any of that. Oh we cut outside to four ambulances having arrived at the arena, so I guess that's what "them" is. We're live from the Charleston Civic Center in Charleston, West Virginia for this episode of Nitro. Schiavone welcomes us to the show as Tank comes out with a 3 Count shirt. He walks over to the DJ booth to take over to try and hype up the crowd, and vows to give them the best. He introduces...

WWF Week of June 26, 2000 - King of the Ring Aftermath

RAW Right to the opening video and pyro, live from the Worcester Centrum in Worcester, Massachusetts, as J.R. and the King welcome us to the show. They hype up the new WWF Champion and Angle's coronation, before the former makes his way out with title in hand. He says that the games are finally over because once again he is WWF Champion, but says Vince still has lots to be thankful for, specifically because he's still the owner of a multi-million dollar company, of a beautiful house, of luxurious cars, and of the best penis implant money can buy. He says though that even after last night, as they stood in the middle of the ring and he put his foot on Vince's chest, it became clear that he owns the WWF Title and Vince's candy ass. He realizes that Vince won't take this lying down, because it wouldn't be Raw if Vince didn't come out and run his mouth at Rock, and Rock tells him to bring it, because the Faction is over and his era has just begun.
