Former WWF writer Tommy Blacha and co-host Rob Pasbani take a trip to the \"Shark Tank\" in San Jose for a chaotic July 10, 2000, episode of Monday Night Raw. With Commissioner Mick Foley away on promotional duties in Asia, Degeneration X attempts to regain total control of the show. Meanwhile, one of the most hilariously disrespectful segments in Attitude Era history unfolds as Kurt Angle presents the Undertaker with an \"energy-efficient\" Vespa scooter.


We break down the high-stakes main event between The Rock and Chris Benoit, which features a \"Montreal-style\" screwjob finish involving guest referee Shane McMahon. Tommy Blacha pulls back the curtain on the \"mercurial mood\" of Vince McMahon during the XFL expansion and the logistical nightmare of the California loop. We also discuss the infamous Bash at the Beach 2000 incident that occurred the night before, analyzing the Vince Russo vs. Hulk Hogan shoot and its impact on the wrestling world.


Other major discussion points include:

- The Undertaker’s hallway biker entrance and his rejection of the \"gift\" from Kurt Angle.

- The Right to Censor officially shutting down matches and \"protecting\" Trish Stratus with towels.

- Triple H’s \"gym clothes\" match against X-Pac and the brutal sledgehammer beatdown of Chris Jericho.

- Edge & Christian defending the tag titles against The Acolytes in a match filled with ring-bell shenanigans.

- The \"West Coast Slog\": Why fly-away shows often led to last-minute booking chaos.
