CLASSIC EPISODE: WWF Fully Loaded 2000 Deep Dive

Straight Shooters ·

2024/07/05

Recorded July 2021.It was a Triple Main Event as Kurt Angle, Chris Jericho, and Chris Benoit were the underdogs heading into matches with WWF icons Undertaker, Triple H, and The Rock, respectively. WWF was absolutely on fire at this point, and some of the booking during this event made it clear they could do whatever they wanted, the fans were not going to abandon their fandom. Live from the Reunion Arena in Dallas, Texas, it was probably the best Fully Loaded pay-per-view out of the three

Straight Shooters ·

2024/07/01

Recorded July 2021. The WWF in 1997 had some very, very good things, and some very, very bad things. Their July pay-per-view offering in Calgary, Alberta, Canada was one of the best events they produced that year. With a very dynamic and non-traditional babyface Hart Foundation in Canada vs. those American jerks of Stone Cold Steve Austin, Goldust, Ken Shamrock and the Legion of Doom, the roles would be reversed if you just crossed the border into the United States. Looking back, it may be one of

2024/06/27

Recorded June 2023.26 years ago, we saw one of the most memorable moments in wrestling history. The Undertaker threw Mankind off the top of the Hell in a Cell and created one of the most significant moments not only in the Monday Night War era, but in the history of wrestling, period. Oh, yeah, there was also a King of the Ring tournament that night and Stone Cold Steve Austin lost the WWF Championship. It was a busy night! -- Follow us on

2024/06/15

After WWF purchased WCW in 2001, it was all downhill from there, we just didn't know it yet. King of the Ring took place in June 2001 and it was the last "WWF-only" PPV until December's Vengeance PPV later that year. Shane McMahon - the "owner" of WCW - took Kurt Angle to the limit (!), Booker T made his WWF debut and injured Stone Cold Steve Austin - hell, there were a ton of injuries on this show - an anticlimactic main event, Vince McMahon nowhere to be found, no
