Tales from the Attitude Era

On this episode of Tales from the Attitude Era, former WWE writer Tommy Blacha and Rob Pasbani recap WWF King of the Ring 2000 from the Fleet Center in Boston. The guys discuss the marathon weekend that started with a house show at Madison Square Garden featuring a surprise appearance by Donald Trump and Melania Trump. Tommy Blacha shares what the atmosphere was like backstage during the peak of the Attitude Era and why the "home court" advantage of the Garden always brought out the best in the roster.The discussion dives deep into the tournament bracket that saw Kurt Angle ascend to the throne after a series of competitive matches against Chris Jericho and Rikishi. We break down the logic behind the early exits of Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero, and why the creative team chose a story-heavy path for the finals. Plus, we look at the polarizing main event where The Rock captured the WWF Championship by pinning Vince McMahon, and whether that finish helped or hurt the title's prestige in the long run.In this episode, we also discuss:- The logic behind the changing format of Sunday Night Heat.- The infamous Pat Patterson vs. Gerald Brisco evening gown match for the Hardcore Championship.- Edge and Christian trolling the Boston crowd with a New York Mets jersey.- Tori taking a massive powerbomb through a table at the hands of the Dudley Boyz.- Rikishi’s incredible performance as the "beaten down" underdog of the tournament.- Tommy Blacha’s response to Dave Meltzer’s 1.75-star rating of the main event.0:00 - Intro1:10 - Memories of Donald Trump at the Garden House Show3:30 - House Shows vs. TV Tapings7:40 - Sunday Night Heat’s Changing Format10:40 - The Fast Pace of the Tournament Quarterfinals12:30 - Could a Round-Robin Tournament Work in WWE?17:20 - Rikishi vs. Chris Benoit: Building the Underdog Story20:00 - Val Venis vs. Eddie Guerrero: A Rare Clean Finish23:20 - Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco Prep for Drag27:40 - Kurt Angle vs. Chris Jericho: The Best Match of the Night?30:00 - Edge and Christian Mock Boston with the Mets Jersey32:45 - Four-Way Tag Team Elimination Match Breakdown38:00 - The Semi-Finals: Rikishi Perseveres43:20 - The Infamous Patterson vs. Brisco Evening Gown Match50:20 - Dudley Boyz vs. DX: Tables, Dumpsters, and Tori57:50 - The Finals: Kurt Angle is Crowned King1:00:00 - Main Event: The Rock Pins Vince McMahon for the Title1:01:30 - Analyzing Dave Meltzer’s Harsh Review of the Finish1:08:40 - Final Thoughts and Looking Ahead to RawFollow Tales from The Attitude Era on all social mediahttp://youtube.com/@TFTAttitudeEra http://twitter.com/TFTAttitudeErahttp://instagram.com/TFTAttitudeErahttp://tiktok.com/@TFTAttitudeEra

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
