[2001-01-17-WCW-Thunder] Meng vs Bam Bam Bigelow

[GSR]

According to Tony Schiavone “everything about Meng is hard” *insert Frankie Howard face*.  Bam Bam is on the charge the moment Meng steps through the ropes, not waiting for the opening bell.  Things quickly spill out to the arena floor and they’re playing up the Pacific Islander with the hard head gimmick something rotten, Bigelow hurting his own hand when punching him and Meng shaking off a chair shot.  Looking at that afro I imagine that provides plenty of cushioning mind!  He slams Meng into the announcer’s table, sending him flying over it as Schiavone and co scarper out the way.  Another chair shot to the head has little effect so Bam Bam changes strategy, dropping the ring steps onto Meng’s knees.  This is actually fairly dull and the fans are now chanting for the departed Goldberg.  Bam Bam wraps his leg around the ring post before splashing it as he goes about continuing to try and take a wheel out.  For some reason, even though those tactics seem to be working, he goes back to the head, DDT’ing Meng which he subsequently no sells.  The Bammer blocks the Tongan death grip, but Meng then applies it with his other hand instead.  Frog splash off the top by the 300lb’er sees him retain his newly won Hardcore title.  Poor match.
