WrestleMania 30 For 30 – WrestleMania 2000
In the latest episode of WrestleMania 30 For 30, Big D, GG, and Brandon Draven discuss WrestleMania 2000.
We covered the following on this WrestleMania 2000 podcast:
– Chris Jericho as a performer
– A comparison between the Vince Russo years and they year he left
– Chris Benoit, Perry Saturn, Eddie Guerrero, and Dean Malenko jumping over from WCW
– The birth of Smackdown
– Mick Foley’s retirment and unretirement
– Rock vs. Triple H
– A deep look at the PPV itself featuring a McMahon in every corner
Pimpin’ ain’t pimpin’ ain’t easy man. I had started watching wrestling very soon before this. The first thing I saw was Mick Foley’s promo where he transformed into Cactus Jack, and then I was hooked. I was already 14 though, so I never really got to be a mark which is sad. Instead I immediately became a smart mark obsessed with Benoit, Jericho, Angle, highspots and movez!
I’m really lucky that this is when I started watching too, such a great time. I would say that about 75% of the roster had something, whether it be on the mic in the ring or in the writing, that made them interesting. I feel like that’s something really lacking in today’s WWE. There was just such a huge variety of characters and wrestling styles. If I hadn’t started watching in 2000 I don’t think I’d still be a fan today.
I found out your show from Dadirtywhiteboi’s youtube channel. It sucks that he had to leave the show but Draven is doing an amazing job! This guy’s so intelligent and insightful. I love what he’s bringing to the show. I can’t wait for next week. I wore out my Wrestlemania X7 VHS back in the day so this will be on of the first shows where I’ll probably completely remember everything at and leading up to the show.
I’m sorry this went long but I just wanted to tell you guys I’m lovin’ the show, this was the best episode yet.
Hey Matt,
Thanks for the feedback!
I miss Dadirtywhiteboi on this show, but he just didn’t have the time anymore. But Draven is a great replacement.
I’m glad you’re enjoying them!
My ego just got even bigger!
Very nice comment! And please – you dont have to worry about your comment being long considering you just sat through a FOUR HOUR SHOW!!!!!!!!
So thanks for that!
