[2000-07-12-WCW-Thunder] 3 Count & Tank Abbott vs Jung Dragons & Great Muta

[GSR]

A sombre Tony Schiavone announces that Mike Tenay was injured by Scott Steiner yesterday and his vocal chords were damaged so won’t be here today. ‘The Brain’ is not so compassionate and says that Tenay got what he deserved, Steiner is ready to explode and he shouldn’t have spoken to him the way he did.

 

Tank leads 3 Count out and he’s not happy that they were jumped from behind on Monday robbing the fans, and he, of them performing. It’s not happening again though! He’s got his square mat, is going to face the stage and no-one is coming out to disrupt them! As 3 Count dance in the ring and Tank dances on his square watching the entrance way, the Jung Dragons enter through the crowd and attack 3 Count from behind. The camera focuses on Tank as opposed to what’s going on in the ring, and when he turns around and realises what’s happening, he gets jumped by the Great Muta. He rolls Tank inside and puts a couple of boots to him before tagging out to Yang. Awful looking clubbing blows to the back of the downed Tank by him. Abbott gets to his feet and just dumps Yang to the canvas. Triple team facebuster by 3 Count. Jamie-san breaks up the pin, but he’s quickly felled with a double team combination Samoan drop/neckbreaker. Kaz breaks up this pin and gets a triple team powerbomb for his troubles. Muta with a series of dragon screw leg whips, he goes to blow the mist at Tank, however he uses one of 3 Counts circular mats to block it. He wallops Muta with the mat, KO punch to Yang and Helms gets the pin.

 

Tank is a dire promo. Another hugely disappointing match between these teams and the quicker they can get Tank away from 3 Count the better because he is killing them. This was a few double and triple team moves with nothing in between. Tank using the mat to block the mist was cute…I suppose, while Muta does little of note or to impress.
