[Broadcast Date- November 11 1999]
HEAR ME BIG MAN, Days of Thunder is back with a dose of Russo's finest with as we wonder whether Dave and Lee were as upset as Vince Russo to discover he had to write this show too.

*Some wild stuff happening in Memphis.
*The indignities against the Luchadors mount.
*Berly Bill IMPLODES
*A bewildering new Chavo gimmick.

[Broadcast Date- October 28 1999]
After spending a lot of time covering the first two weeks of the Russo era, we return you now to a regular Thunder rhythm, a land that booking and the WCW Title Tournament appear to have forgotten for now:
*A new low standard for promos is set by almost everyone
*Chavo is...entertaining?
*The mystery of what the plan with Berlyn is deepens
*Buff plows on with the worst angle in wrestling.

Oh boy
Oh boy oh boy.
The second week of the Russo era, and we have been struck down by technology, illness, back pain and at least one toddler.
Nevertheless your Thunder Boys return to deliver you a review of another exhausting three hour Nitro (the last Nitro from us for a while), and with that comes with a LOT of doings transpiring:
*ANOTHER tag title change
*ANOTHER world title change
*ANOTHER MAD title change
*The Outsiders return to in-ring action, in a way...

Ending a week of firsts in quite a big way on Days of Thunder. We have covered our first Russo Nitro, our first Russo Thunder (sort of), and NOW it's our first Russo PPV.
As with all Russo Chapter 1's, this is quite a mixed bag, with some decent action, at least one killer angle, and some absolutely demented bullshit:
*Sid and Goldberg go to war.
*What is going on with Hogan?
*The firm kickoff of World Title hot potato.
*Brad Armstrong World Police defends the honour of America.

The time has finally come for the second landmark film in our timeline: the truly warts and all Beyond The Mat. Tune in as Dave and Lee go over their history with the film, some of the things that still resonate today, and elements of it that they view now in an entirely different context. We also manage to squeeze some time in there for some WCW-related news briefs. Enjoy!

[Broadcast Date- October 21 1999]
A bizarre episode of Thunder this one. Dave and Lee are challenged with reviewing a Thunder that was recorded before the full Russo takeover, but broadcast after. So buckle up for two hours of absolutely mental continuity, and a hefty Observer recap to keep us in the loop on an insane week for World Championship Wrestling.

[Broadcast Date- October 18, 1999]
We knew this day would come, and it finally has: The Russo Era has arrived on Days of Thunder. Dave and Lee boldly go forward into the first Nitro of this brave new world: a three hour show with about 8 hours of segments packed in. Come in for a cavalcade of shoot promos, evening gowns, and at least one levitating paedophile.
