Whether overlooked or overrated depending on who you talk to, The European Championship's flame burned short and burned bright. On this Episode, Dan gets to finally talk with Sam & Riordan about one of his favourite championship belts in WWE history. It's origins, Shawn Michaels, it's holders and stats all compact into one nice little podcast. That plus the week in wrestling.
June 21st, 1999: New CEO "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and The McMahons are at odds with each other, so someone needs to step in to restore order.... and thankfully, Commissioner Shawn Michaels is in town. HBK books "Stone Cold" vs. The Big Boss Man and, if Austin wins, there will be no Corporate Ministry interference allowed in the Ladder Match at "King of the Ring." Regarding Vince & Shane, they'll get a tune-up match tonight against their former stooges Pat Patterson & Gerald Brisco. And as for The Corporate Ministry, Commissioner Michaels attempts to make sure that the top two members of that faction will remain at odds with each other when he orders WWF Champion The Undertaker to defend his title tonight against Triple-H! In a dream match you never knew you wanted, The Rock steps into the ring with Edge. Jeff Jarrett is ordered to defend his WWF Intercontinental Title against Ken Shamrock and Test in a Triple Threat Match. WWF Tag Team Champions The Acolytes team up with "Mr. Ass" to face "The Road Dogg," X-Pac, and Kane in a six-man tag team match where the tag titles are somehow on the line. The Big Show faces Hardcore Holly in a Hardcore Match which ends with the big man attempting to crush Holly with a car! Val Venis is scheduled to face Prince Albert, but the match takes an interesting turn before it can even begin. Mark Henry and Viscera square off in a Body Slam Challenge, which is unfortunately referred to as a "Gorilla Slam Match." GTV continues to catch people in embarrassing situations backstage, and this week it's Al Snow's turn. Plus, we get the return of someone who hasn't been on "Raw" in three months, Beaver Cleavage can no longer take it anymore, and is it really true that a member of The Mean Street Posse pinned "Stone Cold"?! Meanwhile over on "Nitro," Master P yells the phrase "hootie hoo" 1,000 times! Enjoying the Podcast? E-mail us at rawattitudepodcast@gmail.com or Tweet us @RawAttitudePod!

February 22nd, 1999: The Undertaker's torment of Vince McMahon causes the chairman to schedule a very interesting main event: 'Taker vs. Kane in the first ever Inferno Match on "Monday Night Raw!" And speaking of Mr. McMahon, he appears to have some other problems on his hands when Paul Wight challenges fellow Corporation member The Rock to put his WWF Title on the line tonight! In order to receive a European Title rematch against Shane McMahon at "WrestleMania," X-Pac has to earn it the hard way by stepping into the ring with Chyna. Ken Shamrock faces Billy Gunn in a match where the winner becomes the #1 contender for the Intercontinental Title.... even though both men lost Intercontinental Title matches last week. And on a related note, WWF Intercontinental Champion Val Venis goes one-on-one with Goldust in a non-title match, which features some unexpected outside interference. WWF Hardcore Champion Bob Holly is now referring to himself as "Hardcore Holly," and he puts his title on the line against his former tag team partner Bart Gunn. D'Lo Brown calls out the WWF Tag Team Champions Jeff Jarrett & Owen Hart, and the result is pretty much exactly what you would expect. Edge & Gangrel step into the ring with a legendary ECW tag team who are finally making their debut in the WWF. Steve Blackman squares off with Darren Drozdov because sometimes you just need to kill three minutes of television time. Plus, Mankind is petitioning to be the special guest referee for the main event of "WrestleMania," and Sable's heel turn continues as she proceeds to confront her stalker and Luna Vachon. Meanwhile over in WCW, Rey Mysterio is forced to unmask because... reasons? Enjoying the Podcast? E-mail us at rawattitudepodcast@gmail.com or Tweet us @RawAttitudePod!

"St. Valentine's Day Massacre" Card: "Stone Cold" Steve Austin vs. Vince McMahon in a Steel Cage Match WWF Champion Mankind vs. The Rock in a Last Man Standing Match Triple-H & X-Pac vs. Chyna & Kane WWF Intercontinental Champion Ken Shamrock vs. Val Venis w/Billy Gunn acting as the special guest referee WWF Tag Team Champions Jeff Jarrett & Owen Hart vs. D'Lo Brown & Mark Henry Bob Holly vs. Al Snow for the vacant WWF Hardcore Title The Big Boss Man vs. Mideon Goldust vs. Bluedust February 15th, 1999 "Monday Night Raw": Under pressure from Vince McMahon, Commissioner Shawn Michaels books one final match between WWF Champion Mankind and The Rock: a Ladder Match for the title tonight on "Raw!" And speaking of Mr. McMahon, "Stone Cold" may have gotten the better of him last night, but the chairman has another trick up his sleeve when he appoints a special guest referee for the main event of "WrestleMania": new WWF signee Paul Wight! Triple-H & X-Pac face the team of Kane & Shane McMahon in a tag match with a rather interesting stipulation: X-Pac's European Title is on the line. Val Venis puts his newly-won Intercontinental Title on the line against Billy Gunn, and "The Big Valbowski" has some unfortunate news for Ryan Shamrock after the match concludes. Kevin Kelly conducts an interview with WWF Women's Champion Sable, who appears to have a bit of a new attitude. Corporation members The Big Boss Man, Test, and Ken Shamrock face Ministry of Darkness members The Acolytes & Mideon in a six-man tag team match which ends up being overshadowed by The Undertaker's new plot to take over the WWF. Bob Holly defends his Hardcore Title against Steve Blackman, but then he receives a surprise after the match when a former tag team partner returns after a six-month absence. Jeff Jarrett & Debra team up to face D'Lo Brown & Ivory in an intergender tag team match.

January 11th, 1999: In his first promo since winning the WWF Title last week, Mankind duels on the mic with The Rock as the former champ tries to talk Mick Foley into a rematch at the "Royal Rumble." However, Mankind may not even make it that far because Vince McMahon forces him to defend his belt tonight on "Raw" against Kane. And speaking of The McMahons, Shane announces a very special main event for tonight's show: a Corporate Royal Rumble pitting members of The Corporation against members of DX, with the winner being awarded the #30 position in the Royal Rumble match. In what is likely one of the most bizarre segments in the history of the WWF/E, The Undertaker returns after a month-long absence to perform an unholy ritual on Dennis Knight. Triple-H steps into the ring with Edge in a match which we surprisingly only end up getting a handful of times over the next 12 years despite both men's lengthy tenures with the company. As a counterpunch to Tony Schiavone's "butts in seats" line from "Nitro" last week, we get introduced to the legendary character who is simply known as..... Gillberg. The New Age Outlaws face Jeff Jarrett & Owen Hart, with the winning team earning the right to become the #1 contenders for the WWF Tag Team Titles. Val Venis sets his sights on a lovely young woman in the crowd, but he gets more than he bargained for when it turns out that he's attempting to seduce the sister of a fellow wrestler. Because D'Lo Brown was somewhat responsible for causing her miscarriage last week, Terri Runnels forces D'Lo to fight his own best friend: Mark Henry. X-Pac puts his European Title on the line against the newly Head-less Al Snow. Plus, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin continues to wreak havoc, Chyna's friend Sammy is still hanging around, and Shane helps Vince train for the Royal Rumble by having him chase a chicken in the snow! Meanwhile over on "Nitro," WCW follows up their "Fingerpoke of Doom" episode with three hours of television that are somehow even worse than last week's show! Enjoying the Podcast?

December 28th, 1998: Because Shawn Michaels refused to help out Shane McMahon last week, Vince McMahon vows to fire him live on "Raw" tonight only five short weeks into HBK's tenure as commissioner! "The Road Dogg" Jesse James is initially booked to defend his Hardcore Title against Val Venis, but Vince replaces Val with Mankind in an attempt to drive a wedge between DX and Foley. Two months after vacating the Intercontinental Title, Triple-H gets a chance to regain the belt when he takes on reigning champion Ken Shamrock. In another DX vs. Corporation match, X-Pac puts his European Title on the line against The Big Boss Man. And in a third match between the two stables, DX member Billy Gunn goes one-on-one with the newest member of The Corporation: Kane. The newly-named Pretty Mean Sisters seek to continue their torment of Mark Henry, but "The World's Strongest Man" receives some unexpected back-up from his "girlfriend" Chyna. Sable is scheduled to defend her WWF Women's Championship against..... The Spider Lady? Owen Hart & Jeff Jarrett team up to face the unlikely team of Steve Blackman & Goldust. Edge steps into the ring with a still-covered-in-blood Al Snow, who apparently hasn't bathed since he received a bloodbath 13 days ago. Plus, Shane helps Vince train for the Royal Rumble match in an amusing montage, Dan "The Beast" Severn makes a surprise return, and an unsuspecting Dennis Knight comes to the arena because "He" told him to be there. Meanwhile over in WCW, Kevin Nash ends Goldberg's winning streak at "Starrcade 1998" and Ric Flair challenges Eric Bischoff on "Nitro" for control of the company! Enjoying the Podcast?

November 30th, 1998: "Stone Cold" Steve Austin wants payback on The Undertaker for his actions over the past few weeks, and he enlists an unlikely ally to help him do it. Unfortunately for Paul Bearer, this results in him being thrown into a very undesirable location. Chyna agrees to go on a date with Mark Henry in order to get him to drop his sexual harassment lawsuit against her, but is "The Ninth Wonder of the World" actually warming up to Mark's advances? In a non-title match, WWF Champion The Rock goes one-on-one with Al Snow because he only steps into the ring with the best of the best. Mankind is forced to defend his coveted Hardcore Title against The Big Boss Man in what is only the sixth ever Ladder Match in WWF history. After last week's swerve, X-Pac calls out new WWF Commissioner Shawn Michaels, which results in HBK forcing him to defend his European Title tonight against Ken Shamrock. Gangrel & Edge team up to take on Tag Team Champions The New Age Outlaws, who are still being recruited to join The Corporation. Goldust steps into the ring with Jeff Jarrett as the "retired" Owen Hart looks on from ringside. A disgruntled Marc Mero puts his career on the line against -- of all people -- Duane Gill, but the Light Heavyweight Champion has some back-up in the form of a debuting weirdo from ECW. Val Venis takes on Tiger Ali Singh in a match which ends up being horrendously overbooked despite the fact that it only lasts for about three minutes. Shane McMahon forces WWF Women's Champion Sable to return to her roots and model WWF merchandise, and this particular product is rather unusual. Plus, a popular wrestler makes a surprise return, The Blue Blazer unmasks himself, and a 22-year-old Stephanie McMahon makes a random appearance backstage! Meanwhile over in WCW, Hulk Hogan retires from wrestling just a month before "Starrcade" in order to run for President of the United States. Enjoying the Podcast?

October 5th, 1998: It's a wild night in the WWF, and Bill from Tooning Japanese is joining the Podcast to discuss all of the craziness! After having his leg broken by The Brothers of Destruction last week, Vince McMahon is now confined to a hospital bed where he receives several unwelcome visitors. In particular, one of his guests introduces us to a new character, who goes on to become the most popular sock-puppet in wrestling history. In a stellar main event, The Undertaker steps into the ring with The Rock while Kane looks on nearby. "The Big Red Machine" also has a match of his own tonight as he does battle with the no-longer-fan-friendly Ken Shamrock. X-Pac defends his European Title against D'Lo Brown in a rematch from two weeks ago. Mark Henry squares off with "The Road Dogg" Jesse James, who has seemingly replaced his partner Billy Gunn with an inflatable sex doll. Owen Hart is scheduled to wrestle Edge, but "The Black Hart" appears to be too distraught to compete after injuring Dan Severn last week. Val Venis does battle with Gangrel, and then "The Big Valbowski" receives an invitation to Goldust's "world premiere" next week on "Raw." Marc Mero goes one-on-one with Vader in what sadly turns out to be the final televised match of "The Mastodon's" disappointing WWF career. The Headbangers call out The Insane Clown Posse and, when the clowns show up, Mosh and Thrasher proceed to give them a pretty brutal beating, complete with unprotected chair-shots to their painted skulls. Al Snow takes on Jeff Jarrett while Snow's nemesis Commissioner Slaughter makes his presence felt outside of the ring. Plus, Mark Henry sues Chyna for sexual harassment, Steven Regal continues to be manly, and we find out that the mysterious man accompanying Gangrel is Edge's brother Christian! Meanwhile over on "Nitro," we get one of the dumbest segments in wrestling history as Hulk Hogan hallucinates and sees The Warrior in a mirror..... but the viewers at home can see him too.

September 28th, 1998: After a shocking turn of events at "Breakdown" last night, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin is no longer the WWF Champion! Vince McMahon schedules a ceremony to present the title to the new champion tonight, but "The Rattlesnake" has a surprise in store when he shows up on a very unique vehicle. Later on, Mr. McMahon forces The Undertaker & Kane to compete in a 3-on-2 Handicap Match against The Rock, Mankind, and Ken Shamrock. However, the chairman's pride ends up getting the better of him when he pushes The Brothers of Destruction too far, resulting in a brutal beating at their hands. The New Age Outlaws defend their WWF Tag Team Titles against Southern Justice, but a surprising scuffle may cause one member of DX to leave the group. X-Pac puts his newly-won European Title on the line against Val Venis, with the highlight being the post-match return of a bizarre superstar. And speaking of the European Title, for the first time on "Raw" we get a Six-Man Elimination Match between Edge, Gangrel, D'Lo Brown, Jeff Jarrett, Marc Mero, and Darren Drozdov, with the winner becoming the #1 contender for X-Pac's title next week. Owen Hart faces Dan "The Beast" Severn in a Submission Match, but it ends up being cut short when one of the participants appears to get seriously injured (spoiler: it's not actually a legitimate injury). Mark Henry goes one-on-one against Faarooq with Chyna acting as a completely-not-impartial guest referee. Al Snow takes on Vader in a match which only serves to further destroy the career of "The Mastodon." Oddities members Kurrgan & Golga team up to take on the freshly-heel-turned Headbangers as hometown Detroit natives The Insane Clown Posse make their presence felt during the match. Plus, a full recap of the surprisingly eventful "Breakdown" pay-per-view!
