WCW Week of July 3, 2000 Recap

Nitro
- 3 Count beat Jung Dragons after Tank takes an injured Helms' place mid-match
- Awesome sends people through tables throughout the night, mostly random guys, but also Crowbar, and they all leave in ambulances.
- Johnny the Bull beats Funk in a Hardcore Match, but also breaks his ass in the process off a springboard leg drop onto a chair onto Funk's head on the outside, so he's injured for a while.
- Vamp gives Dale his Demon gear while under disguise, and someone mysterious is watching.
- MIA beat Jindrak and O'Haire to earn a tag title shot. Perfect Event attack after the match but are easily dispatched.
- Cat tries to convince Nash and Goldberg to leave the arena, but they just want to get their hands on each other
- Jarrett brings out fat ladies dressed as Vikings, because the fat lady will sing and all that, and some guy from Standards and Practices comes out to stop it but gets a guitar to the head. Then Cat makes a battle royal for later.
- Booker pins Douglas after a miscue from Kanyon and a Book End, but Kanyon and Douglas attack after the match.
- Cat pays off the locker room to keep Nash and Goldberg apart
- Demon beats Vamp after a bunch of people in Sting masks distract Vamp, then Vamp disappears after he's surrounded.
- David and Hancock shave Daffney a bit and try to frame Crowbar, even this is all on live TV.
- Konnan and Disco do an interview with Rey and Juvie, dressed like Storm and Kidman, which leads to Rey and Juvie beating Lance and Kidman with help from Disco. Cat had been seduced before the match by Tygress so he didn't see the interference.
- Vamp challenges Demon to a Graveyard Match at the PPV.
- Awesome gets a countout win over Steiner, who wasn't there because of a suspension, and Rick Steiner came out to send Awesome away.
- Nash wins a Battle Royal involving Goldberg and a bunch of others, last eliminating Goldberg despite the fact he stepped through the ropes and didn't go over them. They're held back by the locker room to end the show.

Bash at the Beach
- Loco retains the CW Title over Juvie after failed interference from the Animals, then interference by MIA involving Halloween masks

- Kanyon beats Booker after flip-flop rules and a guitar shot from Jarrett
- The US Title Match between Steiner and Awesome doesn't really have a finish, because Cat just calls for the bell after Steiner locks in the banned Recliner, and strips him of the title.

Our opening video package recaps hypes our World Title situation, plus the 3-way dance and the "shoot" issues behind the scenes. Then we see fans getting pumped about the 3-way before we go out to the arena. We're live from the Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver, British Columbia up in the Great White North. Schiavone welcomes us to the show and we get to our first match. Double Ladder Match for 3 Count's Gold Record & Recording Contract: 3 Count (w/ Tank Abbot) vs The Jung Dragons Pre-Match : So presumably, it seems the idea of a double ladder match is that each time will go for something different, and this isn't winner take all...? Tony tells us that 3 Count is more concerned with the gold record, and the Dragons want the contract so 3 Count can't make any more records. Jamie-San and Helms start this off  with some quick chain wrestling.  Then everyone rushes for the ladders set up by the ramp. Shannon and Evan into the guard rail. Yang has brought a ladder ...

WCW Spring Stampede 2000

We get an opening video package which starts with Russo's hatred for Flair, then a recap of Bischoff and Hogan's issues. Then we cut to Eric and Russo in the back, and apparently Hogan's checked himself out of the hospital, much to Eric's confusion. Kidman says they just need to fire up the hummer and finish what they started.  Another video package set to music, highlighting everything that went down in the last week or so, then to the arena for the opening pyro, live from the United Center in Chicago, Illinois. Tony Schiavone, Scott Hudson and Mark Madden are on commentary, so I guess Mark recovered from his attack by Tank. They run down the card for tonight, going over the tournaments and the Millionaires Club's chances. They also tell us that Russo and Eric have made it clear to the referees that they don't want them to jump the gun and throw matches out immediately, so the DQ rule will be a more relaxed. Well at least they explained it. Then we get to our...

Recap of what happened with Rock and the McMahons on Smackdown. We're live from the Cajundome in Lafayette, LA for the go-home episode of Summerslam. JR is here by himself unsure where King is for the time being. Rock is here to get the show started. He gets in his usual cheap pops. He uses the fact that Louisiana is shaped like a boot to transition into wanting to take his own boot, put some jambalaya on it, some gumbo on it, some Louisiana hot sauce on it, and shove it so far up Trips' ass it comes out of his mouth, then put some more hot sauce on it, turn it sideways and stick it up Angle's ass. He says it's the only way they'll ever be united, because they have different agendas, pointless goals, that being to take away his title and win the heart of Stephanie who he calls different variations of a slut. He's not thinking about Summerslam he's thinking of payback tonight. Cue Commissioner Foley. He knows how it feels to be so consumed with hatred that no...
