On this episode of Tales from the Attitude Era, former WWE writer Tommy Blacha and Rob Pasbani recap WWF King of the Ring 2000 from the Fleet Center in Boston. The guys discuss the marathon weekend that started with a house show at Madison Square Garden featuring a surprise appearance by Donald Trump and Melania Trump. Tommy Blacha shares what the atmosphere was like backstage during the peak of the Attitude Era and why the "home court" advantage of the Garden always brought out the best in the roster.The discussion dives deep into the tournament bracket that saw Kurt Angle ascend to the throne after a series of competitive matches against Chris Jericho and Rikishi. We break down the logic behind the early exits of Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero, and why the creative team chose a story-heavy path for the finals. Plus, we look at the polarizing main event where The Rock captured the WWF Championship by pinning Vince McMahon, and whether that finish helped or hurt the title's prestige in the long run.In this episode, we also discuss:- The logic behind the changing format of Sunday Night Heat.- The infamous Pat Patterson vs. Gerald Brisco evening gown match for the Hardcore Championship.- Edge and Christian trolling the Boston crowd with a New York Mets jersey.- Tori taking a massive powerbomb through a table at the hands of the Dudley Boyz.- Rikishi's incredible performance as the "beaten down" underdog of the tournament.- Tommy Blacha's response to Dave Meltzer's 1.75-star rating of the main event.0:00 - Intro1:10 - Memories of Donald Trump at the Garden House Show3:30 - House Shows vs. TV Tapings7:40 - Sunday Night Heat's Changing Format10:40 - The Fast Pace of the Tournament Quarterfinals12:30 - Could a Round-Robin Tournament Work in WWE?17:20 - Rikishi vs. Chris Benoit: Building the Underdog Story20:00 - Val Venis vs. Eddie Guerrero: A Rare Clean Finish23:20 - Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco Prep for Drag27:40 - Kurt Angle vs. Chris Jericho: The Best Match of the Night?30:00 - Edge and Christian Mock Boston with the Mets Jersey32:45 - Four-Way Tag Team Elimination Match Breakdown38:00 - The Semi-Finals: Rikishi Perseveres43:20 - The Infamous Patterson vs. Brisco Evening Gown Match50:20 - Dudley Boyz vs. DX: Tables, Dumpsters, and Tori57:50 - The Finals: Kurt Angle is Crowned King1:00:00 - Main Event: The Rock Pins Vince McMahon for the Title1:01:30 - Analyzing Dave Meltzer's Harsh Review of the Finish1:08:40 - Final Thoughts and Looking Ahead to RawFollow 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.

This week, a special edition of McGuire on Wrestling comes to you from the legendary Victoria Pavilion in Calgary, Alberta.  The home of Stampede Wrestling, now Dungeon Wrestling, brings a certain aura with it - even when just recording a radio show! Special guest Harry Smith, aka Davey Boy Smith Jr., or "The British Bulldog" joins the show to talk about his upcoming tour with CWE across Western Canada.  Hear about some of his time with All Japan Pro Wrestling, what drives him to keep going, and what fans can expect if they look up some of his matches.

For more on our shows, visit celebratewrestling.com  

On this LIVE edition of 83 Weeks, Eric Bischoff and host Conrad Thompson pull back the curtain on the business of professional wrestling past, present, and controversial. Eric breaks down the science behind booking major Saturday night specials like Clash of the Champions, explaining why timing, competition, and audience behavior matter more than fans realize. He also dives into the real challenges of tape delayed programming, using AEW Grand Slam as a case study in how momentum can shift when spoilers hit. Bischoff tackles the ongoing fan criticism surrounding creative, making the case that the process constantly evolves and why laying blame at the feet of Triple H oversimplifies a much bigger machine. He doesn't hold back when addressing Dave Meltzer and the recent Brody King reporting controversy, offering his unfiltered take on how narratives get shaped and sometimes distorted. Plus, Eric weighs in on the business realities behind Warner Bros. Discovery's minority stake in All Elite Wrestling, and the truth behind sluggish ticket sales for WrestleMania what's perception, what's strategy, and what's simply the modern marketplace at work.

Bryan Alvarez talks about the latest in wrestling.

Welcome to Episode 164 of Wrestling Tonight, powered by G FUEL and Dick Lazers. Use code TAVERN for 20 percent off. Acefield Retro and Chad are back, and this week is built around the road to Royal Rumble: Riyadh, while also zooming out to examine how WWE, AEW, TNA, AAA, NJPW, Stardom — and the global wrestling economy itself — are all adjusting direction at the same time. We open with a full preview of Royal Rumble: Riyadh, taking place January 31, 2026 at the King Abdullah Financial District as part of Riyadh Season. This marks the first traditional Royal Rumble ever held outside North America, the first Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia, and the first of WWE's "Big Five" events to take place in the Kingdom. We break down why this Rumble matters more than usual, with both the men's and women's winners earning world championship matches at WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas, the event's return to its traditional January slot, and the shift in distribution with ESPN streaming the Rumble in the U.S. for the first time while Netflix carries most international markets. From there, we dig into what's already locked in for Riyadh: the Men's and Women's Royal Rumble matches, Drew McIntyre defending the Undisputed WWE Championship against the winner of the Saturday Night's Main Event four-way, and Gunther vs. AJ Styles in a career-threatening match where Styles must retire if he loses. We also run through the early betting odds, where Roman Reigns and Bron Breakker sit at the top of the board, followed by Sami Zayn, Gunther, and Cody Rhodes, and discuss what those numbers tell us about WWE's short-term and long-term thinking. We cover the growing list of announced entrants on both the men's and women's sides and how the field is already beginning to take shape. We then pivot into Saturday Night's Main Event fallout from Montreal, breaking down Cody Rhodes vs. Jacob Fatu, AJ Styles vs. Shinsuke Nakamura, the Women's Tag Team Championship defense with Rhea Ripley & IYO SKY against Liv Morgan & Roxanne Perez, and the massive four-way number one contender's match featuring Damian Priest, Randy Orton, Sami Zayn, and Trick Williams, with the winner stepping directly into McIntyre's title picture at the Royal Rumble. From there, we widen the lens to WrestleMania season planning. We discuss WWE's current reluctance to turn Cody Rhodes heel, how WrestleMania 42 plans remain fluid, and why AJ Lee vs. Becky Lynch is shaping up as one of the most locked-in matches on the card. We also look ahead to WrestleMania 43 in Saudi Arabia, with The Rock openly addressing his excitement for the event and internal speculation swirling about possible appearances from Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin as WWE enters its busiest stretch of the year. We then shift fully into the global business of wrestling, as Dave Meltzer reports that Místico has headlined 13 consecutive sellouts at Arena Mexico in 2026, a venue that holds approximately 16,000 fans. Meltzer called the run unprecedented, noting that sustained, high-frequency sellouts in the same building represent a business pattern rarely seen in wrestling history. We contextualize the streak against past drawing eras, the legacy of El Santo, and why comparisons to Japan or North American touring models often miss the structural realities of how wrestling draws actually function. We also discuss the growing push for Místico to capture a major championship currently held by talent from All Elite Wrestling, and what that would signal about CMLL's place in the current power structure. Outside WWE, AEW remains in a moment of transition. We break down Powerhouse Hobbs officially signing with WWE, the company parting ways with longtime executive Nik Sobic, and what those exits say about AEW's current phase. We also cover Will Ospreay's next step toward a return as he undergoes a medical evaluation, Hikaru Shida being backstage in Orlando as she edges closer to U.S. competition, and clarity emerging on AEW's streaming future as reports indicate the promotion is expected to remain aligned with Warner-backed platforms rather than moving to Netflix. TNA continues to operate within a shared ecosystem, as we revisit the fallout from Genesis and Impact's AMC debut amid lingering visa issues, the accidental TNA+ audio leak revealing No Surrender plans, Trey Miguel's emotional return, and the Knockouts Tag Team picture coming into focus with ZaRuca crowned as new number one contenders. We also hit international headlines, including AAA's FOX era officially beginning, Dominik Mysterio's accidental AEW belt graphic during a promo, El Hijo del Vikingo emerging as number one contender for the Mega Championship, NJPW seeing TMDK lose the NEVER Six-Man titles at Korakuen Hall, and Stardom keeping its options open following an alleged intellectual property violation involving trading cards. Episode 164 is a full-scale snapshot of the wrestling industry at a turning point — Royal Rumble season underway, WrestleMania plans coming into focus, media rights shifting, talent moving, and promotions everywhere adjusting direction rather than delivering final outcomes as the calendar heats up.  

James explores wrestling criticism and talks about the works of FR Leavis, Deconstructionism, Dave Meltzer and how it affects our wrestling enjoyment.

In this installment, there's a LOT of divided opinion about Dave Meltzer and Bryan Alvarez, as well as John Cena after his WWE debut in 2002, right on through the early days of his first reign as WWE champion. I thought it would be appropriate to look back at the early days of Cena's career given his recent retirement.  Enjoy!***Follow Solomonster on X (formerly Twitter) for news and opinion:http://x.com/solomonsterSubscribe to the Solomonster Sounds Off on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/user/TheSolomonster?sub_confirmation=1Become a Solomonster Sounds Off Channel Member:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9jcg7mk93fGNqWPMfl_Aig/join
