Thunderstruck - Thunder recap for May 14, 1998

We hear from Mando Guerrero, Eddie Guerrero's brother and Chavo Guerrero Jr.'s uncle, who says that Eddie and Chavo grew up together and that Eddie is currently leading the third generation of Guerreros. He feels Eddie is going to town on Chavo, and that this bet is dividing the Guerrero family. He cannot understand why Eddie is keeping Chavo under his shadow, especially since the family loves the sport, and says that Eddie is going about this the wrong way. Mando says he is trying to accept what is happening, but he cannot.

Before the next match, Eddie Guerrero says that the Guerrero family is distraught and want him to be more lenient to Chavo Guerrero Jr. He says that he has done just that and hand-picked a suitable opponent for Chavo who is about the same height and weight: Reese, who is clearly taller and heavier than Chavo. Eddie begs Chavo not to embarrass the Guerrero family, and to do his best and show what he can do. He also tells him that what happened Monday night will not happen again.

Reese quickly beats Chavo Guerrero Jr. After the match, Eddie Guerrero smacks Chavo with his towel and chews him out as Ultimo Dragon heads to the ring, and Chavo inadvertently shoves Eddie into Ultimo Dragon, who puts Eddie in the Dragon Sleeper. Chavo walks away, and referees show up to try to get Ultimo Dragon to break the hold.

This Saturday night on WCW Saturday Night: "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan! Chavo Guerrero Jr. vs. Fit Finley! Yuji Nagata vs. Goldberg!

Raven shows up with four riot control officers. Raven says he is sick and tired of hearing about Diamond Dallas Page, and informs DDP that he is not Wyatt Earp, this is not Dodge City and he is not some outlaw he can "backjump and string up like Josie Wales." He tells DDP that if he wants to bring his noose and fight, then he has left Raven's Flock in the back so they can go one-on-one. He continues to call out DDP, and DDP shows up from out of the crows with a bullrope around his neck. The riot control officers move into place, but DDP leaps over them and onto Raven. The riot squad then attack DDP and hold him so that Raven can hit DDP with an Evenflow DDT. Raven then ties the bullrope around DDP's neck and sends him over the top rope in an attempt to hang him.

It is announced that Goldberg is in a Gauntlet Match against Raven's Flock at Slamboree, and if he cannot win the Gauntlet Match, the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship will be awarded back to Raven.

Despite interference by Ronnie Rage, Fit Finley retains the WCW World Television Championship against Kenny Kaos.

Goldberg beats Sick Boy. After the match, Riggs tries to attack Goldberg from behind, but Goldberg makes quick work of him and the rest of Raven's Flock thinks twice before going after Goldberg.

Before the next match, Kidman gives "Gentleman" Chris Adams a choice between losing to the Rings of Saturn or the Death Valley Driver. Suddenly, Van Hammer tries to get in the ring only to be stopped by WCW security and pushed back to the back, and Kidman and Saturn decide that Adams will lose to the Death Valley Driver.

Saturn beats "Gentleman" Chris Adams.

"The Canadian Crippler" Chris Benoit beats Ronnie Rage with the Crippler Crossface.

Eric Bischoff shows up. Bischoff talks about his challenge to WWF owner Vince McMahon from last Monday night, as well as McMahon whining about being invited to where Bischoff is. Bischoff then says he just got a letter from McMahon's attorney Jerry McDivett of Kirpatrick & Lockhart, which he reads. The letter states that McMahon will not be appearing at Slamboree and that Bischoff has no authority to suggest that he will do so. It also states that McMahon is one of Titan Sports' leading television personalities and is responsible for some of its highest ratings ever. Nevertheless, Bischoff says the invitation is still open and that security will be looking for Vince McMahon outside of the venue, ready to take him to his dressing room should he show up, even though Bischoff says Vince doesn't "have the guts" and that Vince's attorney has stated that he will not be here.

Before the next match, Kevin Nash does not show up with Scott Hall. Nash says Eric Bischoff and "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan will not allow Hall to be on live television, but they cannot stop Hall from being at Slamboree on Sunday. He then asks if he is looking incredibly sexy tonight, and says he is like Brad Pitt except with a lot more meat on his bones before bringing out "a confidant of The Wolfpac:" "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes. Dusty says that Bischoff and Hogan are attempting to crack the Wolfpac and that Hall will be at Slamboree. As for tonight, he will stand in counsel with Kevin Nash.

Kevin Nash beats Public Enemy (Johnny Grunge and "Flyboy" Rocco Rock) after "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes makes himself part of the match, beating up Johnny Grunge outside of the ring after dragging him out of the ring while Nash hits Rocco Rock with a Jackknife Power Bomb, then hitting Rocco Rock with an elbow drop.

"Macho Man" Randy Savage vs. Sting ends with Bret "The Hit Man" Hart getting into the ring with a steel chair. Savage takes out Bret Hart, but when he goes for a top rope elbow drop, The Giant runs in and catches Savage. Kevin Nash makes his way into the ring and hits The Giant with a steel chair, but Sting takes a steel chair and smacks it into Nash's back. The Giant then grabs a microphone and says that Sting probably wants to know what he is doing, and says he has made a decision to walk in as partners at Slamboree. He then says that if they win the tag team titles, then Sting will have to make a decision. The Giant then pulls out a black-and-white nWo shirt and hands it to Sting, and Sting looks at the shirt before looking at The Giant, who leaves the ring as Lex Luger gets on the apron to talk to Sting in an attempt to reason with him.
