Lawler: Welcome to Thunder everyone. We have a huge main event as Tazz takes on WCW Champion William Regal in non-title action.
Styles: Also six man tag action as the XPW tag champions team with Ron Simmons to take on Juvi, Lash and Rey Misterio.
Lawler: Speaking of that match lets get to the ring.
XPW used their power and size to pick up the win. Early on the Misfit Animals were in charge by using their speed but soon Lash was singled out by the XPW team. Lash was able to make the tag but the size was too much to over come. Juvi was soon given a huge spinebuster and pinned.

Lawler: I think the Juice is dead Joey.
Styles: I am surprised the ring didn't cave in. I have never seen a move like that. Simmons is a monster!
Lawler: Speaking of a monster let's go to the back where Mike Tenay is with Bill Goldberg.
Tenay: Goldberg I was wondering if I could get your comments about your lost on Saturday night against Steve Austin last week.
Goldberg: Mike I was beat but it wasn't just by Austin it was by that jerk Bret Hart. All I have heard for years now is how it is my fault that Bret's career was nearly ended. Well it's too bad I didn't end it then. Now I have to go and end it in four days at Starrcade.
Y2J: You aren't going to end anyone's career at Starrcade jerky.
Goldberg: Why is that Chris?
Y2J: Because tonight you are going to take a Y2J beating that you will never-----EVER forget again!
Goldberg: Chris, I have two words for you----YOUR NEXT!!
