The 2000 Thunder was great.

 

Nash was in full force with the asshole, funny heel gimmick. "Now boys (Steiner, Jarrett, Natural Born Thrillers), let's go down to the ring and have some fun... And that's a shoot!" Then there was Nash, just recently turning heel, siding with the fans in order to get a face reaction, then making fun of the fan's gullability.

 

There was also tons of semi-shoot comments on Paul Orndorf from the NBT. They came out and held up signs, "Too bad your best match was against Vader," "Orndorff equals J.O.B. (Jealous Old Bastard)," and "Aren't you dead yet?"

 

Scott Steiner stalked and beat the crap out of the majority of the NBT members throughout the night.
