[2000-11-22-WCW-Thunder] DDP vs Shawn Stasiak (Lumberjack)

[soup23]

Sanders is on commentary and annoying AF. The lumberjacks get cleared out quickly as they brawl with each other. This leaves only Nash at ringside. Stasiak takes control and the Natrual Born Thrillers come out to counteract Nash. Nice DDP chant from the crowd. DDP makes a good comeback. Stasiak has a foreign object but Nash drags the referee out when he makes the cover. Diamond cover but referee is out of position and Palumbo is able to hit Page with a chair and allow Stasiak to win. Right now WCW is better than the awful Russo stuff but its still not a real good promotion overall. Nash powerbombs the referee as the show ends. **

Stasiak is seconded by Mike Sanders and it’s announced that Nash will be teaming with DDP to take on the tag team champions at Mayhem.  It looks like the Thrillers sided with Stasiak then when he KO’d Nash costing him that match with Booker the other week.  DDP forearms Stasiak over the top rope to the outside and nails him with a pescado, causing Sanders to remark “the old man’s got some moves”.  The lumberjacks very quickly start fighting each other and before you know it they’re all gone, having fought all the way back to the dressing room. Desperation low blow by Stasiak who then starts stomping a mud hole in Page.  Sanders persists on calling DDP “old man” which, even though he is and is an attempt at getting heat, isn’t how I’d be going about things.  Jumping back elbow when, one by one, Chuck Palumbo, Kevin Nash, Sean O’Haire and Mark Jindrak all make their way down to ringside.  Nice stomachbreaker by Stasiak.  Palumbo gets in a cheap shot although Page with a near fall following a lariat.  Jindrak causes a distraction and Palumbo throws Stasiak some brass knux which he clocks Page with.  He makes the cover however Nash pulls the official from the ring at two to stop the count.  ‘Diamond Cutter’ but the referee is still down on the floor.  Palumbo waffles Page across the back with a chair and as Jindrak and O’Haire take care of Nash, Stasiak is able to sneak the win.  ‘Big Sexy tries to explain to Slick Johnson what just happened but he’s not interested in listening so Nash powerbombs him and motions to the Thrillers that will be their fate come Sunday.
