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.

On this special REMIX episode of What Happened When, Tony Schiavone and Conrad Thompson sit down together to watch WWF Monday Night RAW from April 27, 1998—and for Tony, it's a first-time viewing of one of the most infamous moments of the Monday Night War. The focus? D-Generation X and their audacious, real-world invasion of World Championship Wrestling. As the episode unfolds, Tony reacts in real time to seeing Triple H, X-Pac, and the New Age Outlaws roll up to WCW's doorstep, cameras rolling, lines blurring between storyline and reality. From the perspective of a man who was insideWCW when it happened, Tony offers candid, unfiltered insight into what the locker room likely thought, how management viewed the stunt, and why this moment symbolized WWF's growing confidence in 1998. Conrad guides the conversation with context—breaking down where WWF stood creatively, why this episode of Monday Night Raw felt so dangerous and unpredictable, and how DX's fourth-wall-breaking antics represented a turning point in the war for wrestling fans' attention. Expect laughs, disbelief, and plenty of "I can't believe they did that" moments as Tony processes the invasion not as a rival executive, but as a fan watching history unfold. The duo also discusses how this single segment changed perceptions, raised the stakes, and helped redefine what competition looked like in professional wrestling. It's a rare, behind-the-curtain look at the DX invasion—told by the voice of WCW himself—on an episode that proves just how wild, bold, and real the Monday Night Wars had become.

Shot of Nostalgia: The SmackDown Six Era rolls on with your host Acefield Retro, and this week we're stepping into one of the heaviest, most emotionally loaded chapters of the whole project. Episode 7: The Legacy Run covers January through March 2004 — the stretch where the SmackDown Six philosophy stops being "just" a great TV formula and becomes the backbone of WWE's entire main-event scene. Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero, the two workhorses who defined this era between the ropes, finally break through the ceiling and hit the very top of the industry at the exact same time. We start at the 2004 Royal Rumble, a one-match show that actually delivers exactly what WWE needed. Paul Heyman stacks the deck, forces Benoit into the #1 slot, and dares him to fail. Instead, Benoit puts together a marathon performance: 61 minutes, six eliminations, and a finish built around pure will, dragging Big Show over the top rope in a head-and-arm choke that feels earned instead of cute. Along the way we hit all the key beats that made this Rumble feel alive in the building — Orton's elevation through the Foley feud, Goldberg getting robbed by Brock, Big Show as a real "final boss," and the sense that for once, the obvious story actually got the right payoff. From there, we turn to No Way Out 2004, where Eddie Guerrero walks into San Francisco with three weeks of build… and a lifetime of baggage. We walk through how a thrown-together title program becomes a full redemption story: the SmackDown Rumble that sends Eddie to the title shot, the promo duel where Brock mocks his addictions and Eddie weaponizes his own past, and the infamous mariachi "celebration" that starts as comedy and turns into something dead serious. Then we break down the match itself as a heavyweight title fight built on structure and psychology — Brock's 2002 monster template, Eddie chopping down the base, the STF that flips the crowd from hopeful to believing, Goldberg's spear that protects the champion without stealing Eddie's moment, and the DDT-onto-the-belt into Frog Splash finish that still plays as one of the most cathartic three-counts WWE has ever produced. After that, we head to Madison Square Garden for WrestleMania XX, where the World Heavyweight Championship closes the show for the very first time. We don't ignore the reality of Benoit's crimes or how impossible it is to watch his work the same way after 2007 — that context lives with this match forever. But we also walk honestly through what this main event represented in 2004: the SmackDown Six template blown up to world-title scale. We dig into how the triple threat with Triple H and Shawn Michaels turns a format that usually feels cheap into a 24-minute clinic — the "Let's Go Benoit" crowd, the rotating pairings, the Crossface spot where Hunter literally grabs Shawn's hand to stop the tap, the table bump that buys time for the final act, and the visual of Triple H tapping clean in the middle of MSG. It's the one time in that era where the finish matches the story they told for months. We keep rolling with Eddie Guerrero vs. Kurt Angle from that same night — maybe the most "pure SmackDown" match on the card. This is where we zoom in on everything that made Eddie special at this stage of his career: the improvisation, the timing, the creativity that compensated for a body that had taken way too much punishment. Angle tries to strip the magic away and turn it into a straight amateur wrestling lesson — grinding holds, targeted rib and ankle work, suplexes on a loop — and for most of the match, he succeeds. Eddie's comeback isn't about overpowering him; it's about surviving just long enough to create one opening. We break down the boot spot in detail, why it works as psychology instead of a cheap gag, and how that final small package stacks up as the perfect "lie, cheat, steal" finish without burying Angle for a second. And then we close with the image that defined this era at the time: confetti falling in Madison Square Garden as Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit celebrate together, both holding world titles, both representing a version of WWE where skill and heart could overcome size and politics. Today that shot is complicated, even haunting, because of what would happen in the years that followed — Eddie's death, Benoit's actions. We sit in that discomfort instead of pretending it isn't there, but we also talk about what that night meant in 2004 for fans who had lived through the entire arc of the SmackDown Six: the B-show workhorses finally standing on top of the company they had quietly carried. By the time we're done with early 2004, the SmackDown Six era isn't just about a tag formula or a handful of TV classics. It's a storytelling blueprint — athletic, grounded, character-driven — that bleeds into both brands, reshapes what a WWE main event can look like, and influences everything from peak-era NXT to how AEW builds its big match payoffs today.

This week, Jason is joined by one of the biggest names in sports entertainment, WWE Superstar, Charlotte Flair! With 14x Championship reigns, and countless main events under her belt, Charlotte redefined what's possible for women in professional wrestling. As the daughter of WWE legend Ric Flair, she was born into one of the most famous families in wrestling. But Charlotte isn't just carrying the Flair legacy, she is the legacy and she's writing her own chapter as one of the greatest superstars of all time. From headlining WrestleMania 35 to becoming one of the highest paid women in the business, Charlotte has turned athletic talent, brand savvy, and sheer determination into a global empire. Charlotte opens up about growing up during the height of her dad's career and the moment she first recognized his success. She shares how college taught her the fundamentals of budgeting and saving, what life looked like between graduation and joining NXT, and how working as a private personal trainer earning $55k her first year shaped her. She reflects on the pivotal role her brother played in getting her to NXT, how training then compares to training now on the main roster, and the times Triple H reminded her that opportunity didn't guarantee success. Charlotte explains how she stays true to herself as Ashley while portraying the opposite version of herself as Charlotte, the walls that character allowed her to build, and her experiences combating ageism in professional wrestling. She breaks down tagging with Lexi and how that partnership formed, the intentional construction of the Charlotte Flair character—rooted in dominance, female empowerment, and the Flair legacy—and her continuous battle with perfectionism. Charlotte discusses how winning her first title set her trajectory, how she honors the women who paved the way, and what the WWE Unreal episode revealed about her injury. She also shares the avenues she wants to pursue outside of wrestling, her best financial move, which reality show she wants to try, and answers rapid-fire questions. Charlotte reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can't afford to miss!
