RE-RELEASE (07/16/2019): The Monday Night War Stories placed WWF RAW and WCW Nitro in a battle for the ratings. On 7/6/98, Goldberg faced Hollywood Hogan for the WCW/nWo Heavyweight Championship on Monday Nitro and RAW is WAR featured a triple threat for the spot of #1 contender.

WWF Raw Is War is live in Providence, Rhode Island on July 16, 2001!Paul Heyman tries to recruit Spike Dudley into the Alliance, however, Spike turns down Paul leading The Dudleyz to come out, attack Spike with his crutch and force him to watch Bubba Ray super powerbomb Molly Holly through a table. WCW Tag Champion Chuck Palumbo takes on WWF Tag Champion Faarooq. Edge challenges Mike Awesome. Shane McMahon and Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley announce that Team Alliance will be WCW Champion Booker T, Rhyno, DDP, and The Dudley Boyz. Vince McMahon attempts to get WWF Champion Stone Cold lead Team WWF. Tazz battles William Regal, however, Tajiri screws over Tazz helping Regal get the win. WCW Champion Booker T defends against Chris Jericho, but WCW referee Nick Patrick screws over Y2J. Kurt Angle goes to war with Raven in a Hardcore Match and destroys Alliance members with chairshots. The Hardy Boyz challenge the Dudley Boyz. Afterwards, Rob Van Dam lays out Jeff Hardy with a 5 Star Frog Splash. Classy Freddie Blassie tries to rally Team WWF, Trish Stratus takes on Terri.

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.

Recorded from Japan, James and Johnny take you to the June 21, 1999 episode of WWF Monday Night Raw. It's the chaotic go home show before King of the Ring 1999. The Corporate Ministry is falling apart, so much so that The Undertaker and Triple H battle in the main event! While the match is going on The Rock crashes the party. As chaos ensues The Rock is able to put Paul Bearer on a giant Brahma Bull symbol. Much like when The Undertaker Symbolized Stone Cold. Also, HBK is laying down stipulations as commissioner, and Stone Cold brawls the Big Bossman in a wild match that ends with beers and broken ladders. Plus, Val Venis tattoos Prince Albert's butt and Big Show tries vehicular manslaughter on Hardcore Holly.

It's March 4th, 2002 and WWF RAW opens with Mr. McMahon. He says Ric Flair isn't here tonight and that it is going to be “Fan Appreciation Night.” He books Kurt Angle vs Triple H inside a Steel Cage for the main event. Also, Stone Cold faces off against Booker-T until the nWo arrive and destroy Austin with a big wrench. They beat him up so bad that he has to go to a local medical facility. Speaking of the nWo, one member will be in action. It turns out it's Scott Hall and he has a match against Spike Dudley. In Scott's mind this is Stone Cold Steve Austin. The Undertaker is trying to get Ric Flair to have a match at WrestleMania, so he goes to the train center where David Flair is at. He attacks him and leaves him bloody. Plus, Triple H is giving Stephanie McMahon all of her stuff back. She is very excited to get her favorite lotion back, so she puts it on. Later that night, we find out that Triple H had put something different in the bottle of lotion that made her break out in rashes everywhere. However, Stephanie gets her revenge in the main event Steel Cage match with Triple H vs Kurt Angle.⦁ Deadlock Discord: https://discord.gg/E4BvR4W ⦁ Deadlock Shop: https://shop.deadlockpw.com ⦁ Deadlock Patreon: https://patreon.com/deadlockpw ⦁ Deadlock Twitter: https://twitter.com/deadlockpw ⦁ Deadlock Instagram: https://instagram.com/deadlockwrestling ⦁ Deadlock Reddit: https://reddit.com/r/deadlockpw ⦁ Deadlock Pro Wrestling: http://deadlockpro.com
