Summary

November 12th was Johnny’s birthday, so he decided to pick an episode of WCW Thunder from November 12th, 1998 to celebrate! The show opens with Glacier complaining that people are stealing his finishing move, the Cryonic Kick, which is a superkick. That leads to a match with Gentleman Chris Adams, who is credited as the creator of the superkick. Also on WCW Nitro, Hulk Hogan announced that he is going to be running for President of the United States of America! They show the complete segment in its entirety. Plus, Kendall Windham battles Kenny Kaos, Stevie Ray and Jerry Flynn wrestle, and Rey Mysterio Jr. wrestles Juventud Guerrera with the winner becoming #1 contender for the WCW Cruiserweight Championship! Speaking of the Cruiserweight Championship, the current champ Billy Kidman has a match with Chavo Guerrero Jr. Dean Malenko faces Kanyon, and in the main event it’s Konnan vs. The Giant! All this and more in a wrestling heavy episode of WCW Thunder as WCW is on the road to WCW World War 3 1998!
