8. WCW Thunder
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ioh3dXJnzws Believe it or not, at one point this show was primed to replace Nitro as WCWs flagship program. At least thats what the endgame was for Thunder at the outset. The entire point of signing Bret Hart in 1997 was so that he would be the lead on the Thunder program. The program ran for three years and sort of operated as the Smackdown to Nitros Raw. It was actually on Thunder where Goldberg injured his wrist by punching through a limousine window, and I also believe that the first appearance of the white Hummer was on Thunder. One of the more infamous Thunder moments was a 41-man battle royal that had absolutely no rhyme or reason to it and was a complete train wreck. 20 men started in the ring and the other 21 just joined whenever the hell they felt like it.
