On this episode of Grilling JR, Jim Ross and Conrad Thompson look ahead to a sold out AEW All Out in Chicago, and discuss WWE's decision to counter-program the event with Worlds Collide in the same city on the same day. JR explains why he believes the move feels spiteful. JR also honors the lives and legacies of Rebel and Andy "The Butcher" Williams, praises PAC as one of the most dependable performers in professional wrestling, and reacts to Kurt Angle's thoughts on Kenny Omega and Will Ospreay. Plus, JR discusses the importance of storytelling at the commentary desk, whether Sami Zayn can truly headline WrestleMania, Sean Waltman's role in WWE's ID program, Bill Dundee's success in Mid-South Wrestling, and much more!

Hide your China, the boys are at it again with a drink and a discussion of 2011's “Warrior”. Gavin O'Connor's film found Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton at the perfect time, and he paired them with legend Nick Nolte for one of his best performances. Jeff also saw “Practical Magic 2” in the theaters on 9/11 and gives a mini-review. Two very different films! They both go well with drinks. Maybe wine or margaritas for the witch film, and whiskey and/or coffee (for our non-drinkers) for the MMA film. Grab a drink and join us! inktr.ee/theloveofcinema - Check out our YouTube page!

We're going to take some time to remember someone we recently lost—one of the longest-reigning NWA World Heavyweight Champions in history, right up there with the legendary Lou Thesz.The man we're honoring had the opportunity to step into the ring with some of professional wrestling's all-time greats, including Pat O'Connor, Gene Kiniski, Verne Gagne, and Fritz Von Erich. After years of experience as a competitor, he also dedicated himself to helping teach and prepare the next generation of wrestling talent. Some of those on that list would be Kurt Angle, Edge (Adam Copeland), Christian (Christian Cage), The Hardy Boyz (Matt & Jeff Hardy), Mark Henry, Mickie James and others!He was a true second-generation star, carrying on the legacy of his father, Dory Funk Sr., and standing alongside his brother, the legendary Terry Funk.So, let's take some time to remember and honor one of professional wrestling's true legends—Dory Funk Jr.Crazy Train RadioFacebook: facebook.com/realctradioInstagram: @crazytrainradioX/Twitter: @realctradioBlueSky: @crazytrainradio.bsky.socialWebsite: crazytrainradio.usYouTube: youtube.com/crazytrainradio

LET THE BODIES HIT THE FLOOR! Ryan and Cindy look at 2001 SummerSlam from the Shark Tank. Before that though Ryan runs down his experience at Raw for the go-home show from Chicago. Where does this rank among the other SummerSlams? Topics discussed include: Cindy continues to be confused by all the new ECW/WCW wrestlers. Edge and Christian continue to overcome strains in their relationship. Chris Jericho picking on Stephanie's boobs. RVD continuing his quick rise to upper mid-card in just his second month in the promotion. Undertaker continuing his boring feud with DDP and the conflicting psychology of a tag team cage match. An all-time bloody classic with Steve Austin and Kurt Angle (although not ranked as high as Ryan thought) Shane McMahon running into an all time Clothesline from Hell. Was the Rock/Booker T the right choice to main event. The next night on Raw featuring “Wind Beneath Our Ring” and Milk-O-Mania. Enjoy the show!

Triple H tells Kurt Angle he just wants to be friends with Stephanie, maybe go shopping for drapes. Kurt has never been more offended. Tommy Blacha and Rob Pasbani recap the September 18, 2000 edition of WWF Monday Night Raw, live from the Rosemont Horizon in Chicago, Illinois, six days before Unforgiven 2000. Also the last Raw on USA Network.The opening promo ends with Rob, as a gay man, explaining exactly why "shopping for drapes" works and why "batting on the other side of the plate than the rest of us" is the one line that doesn't. Foley books TNA and Trish against Triple H, Angle, and Stephanie, and the hosts are almost surprised it took this long to get here.William Regal makes his WWE debut at the Rosemont, which Tommy calls the single best venue to debut anyone who needs an immediate reaction. Regal sets up a dinner table, demonstrates proper napkin usage, and explains that American parents have clearly failed their children. Jericho interrupts with a fake British accent and a failed tablecloth magic trick. Xpac shows up with nunchucks.Undertaker pins the world champion in a non-title match six days before Unforgiven. The four challengers brawl to end the show.

To continue Total Nonstop August (which may turn into a 2-month event) we have found what many call the "best Jeff Jarrett match ever." It's against Kurt Angle at TNA Genesis 2009, a no-DQ showdown at a pay-per-view no one watched or remembers. Is this actually the best Jeff has to offer? And what makes a 'good' Jeff Jarrett match anyway? Join us as we watch along and find out.

Eddie hears Chyna is going to be on the Playboy cover. The same Eddie who spent months praising his own security and confidence and pride in her. The reaction is immediate and completely inconsistent. Tommy Blacha and Rob Pasbani recap the September 11, 2000 edition of WWF Monday Night Raw, live from Phoenix, Arizona, two weeks before Unforgiven.Triple H draws Jericho as his surprise opponent and they run a fast, heated match before X-Pac runs in for the DQ. Triple H shoves him off and nobody explains anything. The DX dissolution continues, unaddressed. Later, in the Kurt Angle vs T&A match, Stephanie sneaks out despite Triple H's explicit instructions, and what follows is Tommy's unlikely standout of the night, a Looney Tunes sequence involving all three performers that works entirely because the execution is crisp and the performers are that good.Tazz, after getting knocked out by a David Hasselhoff portrait, grabs the mic and says exactly what everyone has been thinking. He can't compete with Lawler's political power. Nobody wants him here. The outsider is tapping out. Tazz has become just another victim of the WWF. The hosts find it oddly engaging.Please support the show, and join our brand new Patreon, featuring watch-alongs for classic matches.

Chyna confronts Eddie backstage and tells him he used her, stepped on her, and only loves the title around his waist. Eddie turns it around completely. His family. His friends. His personal wants. You were on Jay Leno three times. Third Rock from the Sun. Your magazine. Not one page. Are you going to be behind me when I face Road Dog, or is the door right there? Tommy Blacha and Rob Pasbani recap the September 7, 2000 edition of WWF SmackDown, live from Louisville, Kentucky.With Jerry Lawler sidelined from Raw, Tazz joins Michael Cole on commentary in what Tommy and Rob call a preview of the future SmackDown announce team. He roots openly for heels, steals JR's catchphrases, and corrects Cole's move calls in character. Then Lawler returns mid-show, strap in hand, and chokes Tazz out in the middle of his Brooklyn catchphrase.Steve Austin cuts a pre-tape from home, back to camera, nine months out of action.

Tommy Blacha and Rob Pasbani recap the August 28, 2000 edition of WWF Monday Night Raw, live from Greensboro, North Carolina, one night after SummerSlam 2000.Triple H opened the show stranded in the parking garage, waiting for Stephanie who hasn't been seen since he accidentally hit her the night before. Kurt Angle comes to the ring and accuses him of domestic violence, then casually mentions his concussion is coming back to him. He remembers being in a hotel lobby after SummerSlam. He wasn't alone. Room A14. Wait, that was Stephanie's room. His memory is a little fuzzy.After Angle goads Eddie into defending Chyna's honor, he ends up running into the match with a steel chair anyway. The annoucers openly wonder whose side Chyna is really on. Tommy and Rob did not see this coming and loved every second of it.Other major discussion points include:Edge and Christian bring out miniature versions of all three TLC teams for their 36-second pose, complete with tiny ladders, tiny tables, and a fight between the mini Hardies and mini DudleysLita defends the Women's Championship against Jackie in the highest-rated quarter hour of the night, then eats an Edge spear post-match in what Tommy and Rob call a real test of whether her SummerSlam rub translated on its ownChyna retains the IC title when Val Venis abandons his Money Shot to yell at Trish Stratus, who had been watching at ringside the entire matchJR grabs a trash can lid and clocks Tazz at ringside, letting Blackman retain the Hardcore title in a feud Tommy and Rob agree never justified itselfThe Rock keeps the WWF title over Kane, but the Undertaker rides in on his motorcycle and choke slams Kane first, teasing a three-way championship programNaked Midian debuts as a streaker in the Al Snow and Saturn mixed tag, wearing nothing but a fanny pack and a thong00:00 Intro and Cold Open: Eddie Guerrero Shoves Triple H Over Chyna00:33 Welcome to Tales from the Attitude Era00:52 Why Raw Aired at 11pm: US Open Tennis and the USA Network Problem1:07 Tommy's Backstage Story: Vince McMahon vs the Dog Show5:01 Post-SummerSlam Booking Philosophy and the Late Start Show6:06 The Chyna and Triple H Reunion: Kayfabe, Reality, and the Real-Life Timeline8:15 Mick Foley Opens the Show in Greensboro / Four Title Matches Announced10:31 Triple H Waits in the Parking Garage / X-Pac and Road Dog Weigh In10:54 Opening Match: Y2J and the Acolytes vs Benoit and T&A16:35 Kurt Angle Accuses Triple H of Abuse / Room A14 Revealed18:40 Triple H Cheap Shots Angle / Chyna and Eddie Watch from Backstage19:03 Intercontinental Championship: Chyna vs Val Venis23:00 Michael Cole Interviews Angle: "I Remember Stephanie's Room"23:42 Right to Censor Promo / Too Cool and Rikishi Dance Segment26:53 Chyna Enters Triple H's Dressing Room29:41 Eddie Guerrero Bursts In: "That's My Mama"31:53 Edge and Christian's Mini TLC Teams Segment36:24 Angle Talks Eddie Into Challenging Triple H36:53 Hardcore Championship: Tazz vs Steve Blackman / JR with the Trash Can Lid41:54 Just Joe Gets Kicked Out / Eddie Barges In and a Match Is Made45:14 Women's Championship: Lita vs Jackie / Edge Spears Lita Post-Match49:14 Kane Promo: No Voice Box, New Monster Heel Direction53:28 Patreon Plug55:38 Chyna and Eddie Backstage Before the Match56:03 Eddie Guerrero vs Triple H1:00:07 Frog Splash Miss / Pedigree Attempt / Angle Runs In with a Chair1:01:04 Chyna Saves Both Men / The Love Quadrangle Is Born1:03:05 Al Snow and Saturn vs Cat and Terry / Naked Midian Debuts1:05:25 Dudleys at WWF New York / The Rock Promo with Kevin Kelly1:06:47 WWF Championship: The Rock vs Kane / The Undertaker Rides In1:09:24 Ratings Breakdown: 4.93 Rating and 11.5 Share1:12:46 Closing Thoughts and Sign-Off Hosted on Acast.

Kurt Angle grabs the mic before the main event and announces he has an apology to make for kissing Stephanie McMahon. He's sorry he didn't do it sooner. Tommy Blacha and Rob Pasbani recap SummerSlam 2000, live from Raleigh, North Carolina on August 27, 2000.The love triangle runs through the whole show. Stephanie tells her makeup artist backstage that Kurt is a good kisser. Angle's pre-match promo drops the line "I gave your wife the kind of passion you could never give her." Then the Spanish announce table breaks early, Angle is immediately concussed, and the main event somehow has to keep going.The match of the night is the first-ever Tables, Ladders and Chairs match between Edge and Christian, the Hardy Boyz, and the Dudley Boyz, which Tommy and Rob call a blueprint for an even better version at WrestleMania the following year. Earlier, Shane McMahon climbs 75 feet up the entrance scaffolding trying to escape Steve Blackman, takes a kendo stick to the back, and falls in one of the biggest bumps either host has ever seen.Other major discussion points include:- Chyna pins Trish Stratus to become two-time Intercontinental Champion in a mixed tag with a stipulation that creates more problems than it solves- JR pays Tazz back by smashing the same candy jar Tazz used on Lawler weeks earlier over his head to help the King get the win, though Tommy and Rob agree Tazz deserved better from the whole feud- Road Dogg and X-Pac finally collide but their slow-burn DX breakup never generated enough heat for the match to land- Jericho and Benoit put on a solid two-out-of-three falls match in 13 minutes, though Tommy argues the stipulation demands more time and the feud deserved a cleaner finish- The show opens with a Fellini-inspired David Sahadi short film that Tommy and Rob call one of the most interesting pay-per-view cold opens of the Attitude Era- Kane and Undertaker brawl on the outside with the bell never ringing, in a match the hosts agree did nothing to elevate either man---Just announced!

Kurt Angle dismisses the EMTs from Stephanie McMahon's room, tells her he really cares for her, and kisses her to close the show. Tommy Blacha and Rob Pasbani break down the August 24, 2000 edition of WWF SmackDown, the final episode before SummerSlam 2000, live from the New Orleans Arena in New Orleans, Louisiana.The whole episode builds around one question: will Stephanie pick Triple H or Kurt Angle as her mixed tag partner? The McMahon family love triangle is at full boil, and the final two minutes of the show are, as Tommy puts it, maybe the most melodramatic moment in WWE history.Chris Jericho rolls out a Benoit photoshop promo that Tommy and Rob agree is well below the level of their blood feud, complete with Dr. Seuss rhymes. Benoit fires back with his own "picture." In the Tazz/Lawler saga, Tazz spray-paints Lawler's rental car, smashes the window, and finds J.R. in the passenger seat.Other major discussion points include:- Rikishi moons Right to Censor, wins his match against the Goodfather, and teases Stevie Richards with the stink face before Bull Buchanan pulls him out at the last second to save the heat for SummerSlam- The six-person tag (Trish/Val/Test vs Chyna, Eddie Guerrero, and Steve Blackman) ends when Val's nunchuck attack on Blackman backfires and takes out Test instead- Kurt Angle pitches himself as Stephanie's partner backstage, promising the match won't last more than three minutes. Triple H then storms out when Stephanie suggests Angle made good points about the hothead thing, proving the critique in real time- Road Dogg and X-Pac lose a handicap match to Undertaker in what Tommy and Rob call the least heated angle heading into SummerSlam- A full breakdown of the SummerSlam 2000 card- The WWF's SmackDown Your Vote campaign, a partnership with MTV's Rock the Vote driven by the looming threat of censorship from the Parent Television Council---Just announced!
