Episode 167: WWF SummerSlam 2000

Vince Russo may be gone from WWF, but some of his booking philosophy still remains. That's evident here in 2000, which was both a great year and a ridiculously stupid year in Vince McMahon's House of Hunky Men. We have the infamous E&C vs. Dudley Boyz vs. Hardy Boyz TLC match for the WWF Tag Titles on this show, Shane McMahon takes a bump for the highlight reels when he faces Steve Blackman for the Hardcore Title, and The Rock defends the WWF World Title against Triple H and Kurt Angle, who are also feuding over Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley. We also have some pretty awful stuff we'd rather soon forget, like Tazz taking on Jerry "The King" Lawler and JR shattering a candy jar over Tazz's head, a Thong Stink Face match between The Cat and Terri Runnels, and a lackluster DX members fight between Road Dogg and X-Pac. In the news, we discuss Vince Russo's issues in WCW, Hulk Hogan's lawsuits against Russo and WCW, WCW and ECW continuing to tank while the rats are jumping off the sinking ships, the Monday Night Raw battle between USA and TNN continues, a Mexican legend is contemplating running for political office, and much more!
