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.

Have any interesting stories to tell us? Lets us know here!Last we left off, Benoit rose to international fame in the wrestling world, met his wife and victim Nancy, had a son named Daniel, and concluded with the untimely death of his best friend, Eddie Guerrero. From this point on Benoit would be visibly different to everyone. His violent tendencies outside the ring had already started happening more frequently. Combine that with Guerrero being gone, and Benoit was truly broken. Just us as we dive into Benoits brain, CTE, and the ridiculous conspiracies surrounding his death!Warning - this episode deals with some pretty heavy topics, including abuse, sexual and otherwise, and horrific violence. With that being said, jokes are being made about the killer and the industry, not the victims. If there's one thing Benoit earned through his actions, its public ridicule. So with that said, enjoy the show!If you enjoyed the show, please follow us on whatever podcast app you are using. If you'd like to take it further, a like and review helps as well. It means a ton.

With This Ring #75: Armageddon Cindy and Ryan are back again to wrap up the year 2000. In this episode we cover the quick turnaround from Survivor Series to Armageddon and the very half-hazard build to the main event, which seems to be just put the big 3 matches from last month into one big match this week. Does it work? We'll discuss all this and more: We start with the re-emergence of Vince McMahon and him demanding a divorce from Linda and the Rock making fun of all his opponents. We discuss the new direction for Dean Malenko and his infatuation with Lita. William Regal making fun of Alabama. Chris Jericho continues his feud with Kane. We see the end of the title reigns of both the RTC and Billy Gunn, marking the end of Billy as any serious type of single's threat. The APA is back, hooray! The 6 Way living up to its hype and how much can 1 match carry a show? Christmas Raw, with an Angle Family Christmas. Stone Cold feuding with Stephanie and getting a World title match. Vince McMahon and a budding relationship with Trish Stratus. All this and much more. Enjoy!

It's the final episode of the last episode of television before heading into the first ever pay-per-view for ECW, a wrestling promotion that is trying to prove that a small independent promotion can do it, can be a viable contender all by itself, with the help of nobody else. Nobody. Nobody except the wide range of wrestlers that owed favours or would work for cheap; the first booker Eddie Gilbert who set the tone for what the show would be; Vince McMahon, who while not outright funding the thing, has helped it along as long as Paul Heyman stopped burying his promotion and focused instead on - after WCW raided ECW's roster already, allowing him to raid it much more effectively - WCW; and nobody else except for of course Paul Heyman's Dad's money I assume (and connections) which helped screw Tod Gordon out of the weekend pissup and hotel orgy-hosting nonstop party he had founded that was masquerading as a wrestling company. It's that pivotal final episode of television before that pivotal first pay-per-view, "this Sunday night", at 9 PM, across America, and presumably through piracy and early internet messageboards, across the Globe to a certain extent. Barely Legal. You've got to start that episode right, with a powerful piece of attention-grabbing footage that will make even the most jaded channel-scrolling stoner to shake the cheeto dust out of their eyes, sit up in their Barca Lounger and say hey… I should see if I can steal Barely Legal off the Internet. And what better way to start that episode of television than with… Oh, it's the Pitbulls. It's time for Luke Pennock & Brendan Flaherty to review episode 205 and 206 of ECW, from April 1st & 8th, 1997! Up next - our BARELY LEGAL livestream - presented in eye-wounding VHS-VISION.
