Episode 133- WWF Judgment Day 2000

The FIRST Women's Rumble is easily the highlight of the 2018 Royal Rumble. Loaded with pops, returns, and a fantastic winner.

We have the first ever Backlash! The undercard is diverse, with HoFers, classic gimmicks, and definitive Guys. The Triple Main event goes 1/3, but that one is an absolute HOMER: Rock v Austin.

It's the 4-Year Anniversary, the unofficial kick-off of Summer, and the dawn of a new era of markdom. SummerSlam 2016 was a canon event, but how well did it age?

PEAK ATTITUDE ERA WARNING. For the good reasons. An electric opener, corporate DX, and a battle of Canadian Chris' fill up the undercard. And in the main event, a High Wattage Ironman Match.

Maybe it isn't worth Remembering. While this is a solid card for ECW, something is just off, maybe the IMPENDING DOOM clearly on the horizon.

Back to back New Japan? Your ears don't deceive you, we got the World Cup of Pro Wrestling. A couple of young studs steal the show, the overarching story is intriguing, and you get a nice slice of NJPW. Wait, what do you mean that wasn't the main event?

NJPW makes the trek to the Cow Palace, and they bring the WHOLE gang. We got tag matches galore of various power levels, Hiromu retaining his belt on a broken freakin' neck, and a dream match between Kenny Omega and Cody Rhodes.

This is a crime against humanity. Almost two hours of unwatchable wrestling, culminating with a kick that change the wrestling landscape forever. And not in a good way.

We jump across the pond for some NXT Takeover, London edition. Despite only one Northern Islands wrestler (hi, Finn), the UK crowd is a force. Asuka and Joe bring auras, Dash and Dawson shatter dreams, and Bayley does her best John Cena impression.

"The Biggest Party of the Summer" lived up to it's name in 1998. Well, mostly. We have a DOOZY of a Co-Main featuring The Rock, Trips, 'Taker, and Stone Cold in some larger than life matches. We also have a Hair vs. Hair Match, more D'Lo being cool, and a LION'S DEN.
