In this nostalgic deep dive from Episode #1147 of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards and guest Andrew Gasser geek out on pro wrestling's golden days and its modern pitfalls. They break down the epic Royal Rumble fallout, including Roman Reigns' Rumble win and that fiery promo battle with CM Punk—calling it the best one-on-one mic work since Stone Cold vs. The Rock. The duo laments the "death of kayfabe," blaming social media for shattering the illusion: heels and faces riding together, posting selfies, and dropping character online, turning believable badasses into comic-book caricatures. From praising standouts like MJF's mic skills and LA Knight's charisma to critiquing the flippy, video-game era of WWE and AEW, they debate if today's product can ever match the Attitude Era's raw intensity. Whether you're a wrestling die-hard or just love old-school smack talk, this segment is a must-listen throwback—strap in for unfiltered ring reality on WYAB!

In this riveting episode #1147 of The Clay Edwards Show, host Clay Edwards delivers his signature unfiltered take on the chaos shaping America today. Broadcasting live from the Men's Health and Women's Wellness of Mississippi studios on 103.9 WYAB, Clay kicks off with a raw reflection on living in "interesting times," tackling cancel culture, corruption in Jackson, Mississippi, and the fight for the nation's soul. From lighter banter about the weather and studio antics to hard-hitting commentary on local crime, police accountability, and racial dynamics, Clay pulls no punches—calling out inefficiencies in the Jackson PD, praising improvements under Mayor John Horhn, and emphasizing that good people just want to escape bad neighborhoods, regardless of race.   Hour 2 heats up with special guest Andrew Gasser, diving deep into pro wrestling nostalgia and analysis. They break down the Royal Rumble, epic promos between Roman Reigns and CM Punk, and the evolution (or devolution) of WWE and AEW, debating the loss of kayfabe, standout talents like MJF and LA Knight, and whether modern wrestling stacks up to the Attitude Era. The conversation pivots to serious territory with updates on Mississippi politics, including the Glacier Act (Senate Bill 2329) aimed at funding local law enforcement to assist ICE, and a passionate discussion on the newly released Epstein files—questioning timing, accountability, and the dangers of "Epstein Derangement Syndrome" amid Trump-era revelations.   Clay also covers a controversial Jackson mass shooting case, Super Bowl predictions (Seahawks vs. Patriots), NFL gripes, and local events like the Guns N' Roses tribute at Martin's Downtown. Calls from listeners add flavor, sharing wrestling stories and more.

The episode continues with talk of indie wrestling standouts, Mystery Wrestling chaos, AAA crossovers, Judgment Day dynamics, and the ongoing evolution of women's wrestling storytelling. On the gaming side, the crew decodes cryptic teasers for WWE 2K26, speculating on modes, legends, weapons, and a possible Attitude Era focus.

This week on Tales from the Attitude Era, former WWF writer Tommy Blacha and co-host Rob Pasbani recap the June 5, 2000, episode of RAW is WAR from the Blue Cross Arena in Rochester, New York. The night begins with massive dissension in the McMahon-Helmsley faction as Triple H, Vince McMahon, and Shane McMahon engage in a family shoving match that results in everyone—including Stephanie McMahon—getting slapped.A major talking point this week is how that "laborious" opening segment threw off the timing for the entire broadcast. Tommy Blacha provides unique insight into the backstage stress that occurs when segments run long, forcing the creative team and performers to truncate every single undercard match to fit the remaining time.We also address the "bamboozle" regarding The Undertaker's entrance music. While the network versions feature a generic theme, original recordings prove he was using Kid Rock's "American Badass" from day one. Tommy Blacha shares a hilarious story about Kevin Dunn blasting the track on a private jet until everyone was sick of it.Other highlights from this episode include:The Rock, The Undertaker, and Kane battling in a high-stakes Triple Threat match for a title shot.Rikishi delivering a devastating Stink Face to Trish Stratus.- Too Cool defending their WWF Tag Team Championship against The Hardy Boyz.- Crash Holly continuing his relentless quest to reclaim the Hardcore Championship.- The Rock and Triple H closing the show with a pay-per-view quality television main event for the WWF Championship.0:00 - Intro1:35 - WWF legal battles & the move to Spike TV3:55 - Rochester, NY: The "glitch" in the graphic5:55 - The Undertaker's real entrance music revealed8:20 - Vince McMahon, Brisco, & Patterson arrive10:50 - Opening Segment: Triple H vs. Vince vs. Shane dissension11:25 - Deep Dive: How the long opening segment ruined the show's timing16:55 - The Rock interrupts / The family slap-fest18:55 - Kane & The Undertaker demand title shots21:00 - Why WWF gave away main events on free TV25:40 - Match 1: Too Cool & Rikishi vs. Val Venis, Test & Albert30:40 - Trish Stratus takes a Stink Face!32:45 - Crash Holly's backstage parking lot fail33:25 - Match 2: Chris Benoit vs. Road Dogg (The impact of time cuts)35:45 - Kane interview: "I don't have a brother"36:45 - Gerald Brisco vs. Crash Holly (Hardcore Championship)39:15 - Triple Threat Match: The Rock vs. Kane vs. The Undertaker41:25 - Triple H interferes / The Rock earns the title shot42:02 - Match 3: Eddie Guerrero vs. Dean Malenko (Truncated stories)45:43 - KOTR Qualifier: Hardcore Holly vs. Faarooq47:15 - 6-Man Tag: Dudley Boyz & Chris Jericho vs. Angle, Edge & Christian50:10 - The Hardy Boyz vs. Boss Man & Bull Buchanan52:15 - Stephanie McMahon announces a Women's Battle Royal56:40 - Main Event: Triple H vs. The Rock (WWF Championship)1:02:25 - Final Thoughts: Burnout & the cycle of wrestling writing1:12:45 - Inside Baseball: The reality of Kayfabe today1:15:20 - OutroFollow Tales from The Attitude Era on all social mediahttp://youtube.com/@TFTAttitudeEra http://twitter.com/TFTAttitudeErahttp://instagram.com/TFTAttitudeErahttp://tiktok.com/@TFTAttitudeEra Hosted on Acast.

Worum geht's? Um die Jahrtausendwende erlebt Wrestling seinen letzten großen Mainstream-Höhenflug – und auf dem Nintendo 64 erscheint mit WWF No Mercy das vielleicht definitive Spiel dieser Ära. Basierend auf der bewährten Engine von WrestleMania 2000 treibt No Mercy das Konzept auf die Spitze: mehr Wrestler, mehr Matchtypen, mehr Kontrolle – und erstmals ein Story-Modus, der die chaotische Dramaturgie der TV-Shows überraschend gut einfängt. Statt reiner Action setzt das Spiel auf Timing, Ausdauer und taktisches Lesen des Gegners. Fabian und Chris sprechen in dieser Folge darüber, warum No Mercy bis heute als Referenz für Wrestling-Spiele gilt, über das eigenwillige, aber tiefgehende Kampfsystem, über die Bedeutung der Lizenz zur Hochzeit der Attitude Era – und warum es keinen direkten Nachfolger gab. Infos zum Spiel: Thema: WWF No Mercy Erscheinungstermin: November 2000 Plattform: Nintendo 64 Entwickler: AKI Corporation Publisher: THQ Genre: Wrestling / Sport Designer: Hideyuki Iwashita u.a.
