Dave Meltzer said WCW needed to create new stars to compete with WWF and what does WCW do? They introduce Dale Torborg and The Maestro on Thunder to help compete with Smackdown. Surely the former KISS Demon and the great grandnephew of Georgeous George can move the needle. Maybe things will get better now that Vince Russo and Ed Ferrara have signed with WCW and will be making their way over shortly. WCW abruptly strips Lenny Lane of the Cruiserweight Championship and we get a "cruiserweight championship match" on Thunder as a result. Blitzkrieg takes on Dean Malenko, Chris Benoit defends his WCW TV Championship against Brian Knobbs, and Sid Vicious puts his WCW US Championship on the line against Stevie Ray.
