I dont know what it is, but when I'm depressed or mentally not doing well, watching these videos brings me back to when I was a kid and changes my mood to a much better one. Not sure if it's the voice of reasoning (JRs) or the chemistry you have with him Connie. Keep up the good work and keep making all of us happy and excited again like you always did over the years.
I loved the king of the ring tournament and the multiple matches on the same card , as long as it’s once a year. Plus I love the stakes, winner get a shot at summerslam, I’m a mark for things like that. My favorite was Bret hart winning three matches in three different ways
I was 14 years old and this was the first WWF event I ever attended. Evening gown match? Rikishi 3 times? Whatever. When Taker put Shane through the announce table the roof came off the Fleetcenter and I’ll never forget it.
Damnit Conrad. The initial stipulation to the main event was, if Hunter's team was victorious, then Hunter defends the Title against the KOTR winner at Fully Loaded, but if Rock's team won, whomever made the fall would get said Title shot at Fully Loaded. Then, the stipulation changed to, the Title is on the line, and if Hunter's team won (regardless of who got the fall), Hunter would retain, but if the opposing team won, then whomever got the fall (Rock, Kane, or Taker) would win the Title. It's actually pretty simple.
I think they scrapped that because of low early pay per view buys think how much that would’ve sucked as a main event almost would have seemed pointless to purchase it if they would recap it the next night on raw that’s just my opinion but it changed one week out from king of the ring 2000
Ultimately the problem with the main event was that it should've been the big blow off to the Rock/HHH feud with Rock getting a clean pin fall victory over Hunter & instead Rock wins the belt in a 6 man tag without actually pinning the champion. On a completely unrelated note, I believe it was around this period that HHH started to attend creative meetings.
I dont think that mattered. It was episodic storyline drama and there would barely be separated for long until after SummerSlam anyway, with the PPVs being nothing more than end of chapters. In the context of pinning Hunter clean, which they'd already done, I can see the appeal of Rock winning the belt by pinning Vince, which they hadn't done, to get one over on the boss thats trying to keep the belt off him. Also it was getting one over Hunter for letting Vince into a match where he could lose the title on his behalf. We weren't half the smarks at the time which we'd become, as a 17 year old I didn't give a shit that this time he hadn't actually pinned Hunter to take revenge and get his belt back from him, I was just elated that he had. It was justice and vengeance for the month before which felt like a robbery anyway.
I was thinking the same thing. Triple H losing the title without losing was dumb as blank. I didnt mind the 6 man tag but they created a mess by making it for the WWF Championship.
38:40 I agree with JR that hennig could’ve been great on color. When he tried broadcasting starting at survivor series 95, he seemed like a natural … but always wanted to be back in the ring instead
WWE History??? It wasn't even best program in the year 2000. Rock/HHH was better (Backlash) Angle/Undertaker was better (Fully Loaded). It was a great program agreed.
In the main event the stips were a six man with the winner from the face team getting a title shot at Fully Loaded That was created by Linda If HHHs team won he would defend against the KOTR winner The heels changed it to a title match to create dysfunction in the face team Whoever got the fall on anyone of the heels would be the champion The stipulations were simple
I believe the ‘89 or ‘90 version was somewhat a tournament. Nothing was on the line besides pride, but the survivors from each of the matches on the card would then return for the final match of the night to determine the “ultimate” survivor. I think. It’s been a while.
I never really bought much into the main event because I knew there was no way in hell HHH would retain and realistically the only 2 they could possibly put the belt on would be Rock or Taker there was no way they’d put the belt on Kane
Why? They put the belt on Kane before in the 1st blood match against Austin at King of the Ring 98. You wouldn't have guessed they'd do that in that ppv.
Blueblur23 I agree I was surprised when Kane beat SCSA in the 1st blood match but back then Kane was really over. During this time, Kane seemed like a mid carder gatekeeper. I did see Kurt Angle was going to get the belt but I didn’t think it was going to be so soon at Summerslam. I really thought Rock would be champ until Survivor Series and there he’d put Angle over.
@@murraysaucedo897 I always looked at Kane as a guy who was a top mid card to low main event top guy. A midcard gatekeeper is a good description but he was also a guy who whenever they needed to they could always plug him in the main event picture mostly because he was always over and even top guys still feared him. I thought booking in 00 was pretty unpredictable. They gave the belt to Chris Jericho briefly on a random night of Raw in like April. I thought Rock would get the belt at WM2000 but instead they kept it on HHH. When the Rock finally won it at the next ppv Backlash 2000 it was surprising to see him lose it again a month later at Judgement Day ppv. So because of that it was kind of hard to see where they were gonna go for King of the Ring.
Blueblur23 yeah I was really expecting Rock to go over at WM2000 but I was put off by the main event being a Fatal 4way back then I thought a singles match would’ve been the way to go especially at Mania. I kinda knew that HHH would go over in the Iron Man match because a friend at school leaked that Taker was returning during that match. Long story short this friend also leaked that Nash would be the one to end Goldbergs streak but had it not been leaked to me then yeah I wouldn’t have thought Rock would drop the belt back to HHH so quickly.
Let’s be honest, this PPV sucked. Compare it to Judgment Day and Fully Loaded right before and after it. That main event was trash and the finish was insulting. Rock becomes champion by pinning Vince??? Stupid.
I wouldn’t say it “sucked,” but compared to the rest of the shows in 2000, this one was definitely a rung or two below the rest. Overall, WWF was on a hot streak that year. Great booking and great in-ring work.
If you go to Sonny Kiss' Twitter, their bio they clearly state their preferred pronouns are, "She/He/Sis/Homie/Babe", so calling Sonny she is perfectly fine. Not sure why people were up in arms with JR over that.

Why pay when I can hear it on UA-cam
JR on livewire with Vince Russo that day was gold. Only second to corny at dairy queen
That event at the Boston Garden's JR is talking about was Survivor Series 1993 which wad WWF's last event at that venue
Always enjoy a good ol' early morning JR grilling!

Kurt Angle had top notch booking and performance in 2000
It helps that everyone he worked with (Rock, HHH, Undertaker, etc were over, he was a quick learner, and developed chemistry with them all.
Bah gawd im ready
Hell yea! KOR 2000 was great!!! One of the best KOR since it's debut!
🔥🔥
I believe the Asian place they are talking about is Kowloon Restaurant

I would love for JR and Conrad to do a show about Wrestlemania 30 or 31
Clear understanding and the truth I plead the blood
My fav ever ppv
ARMADDGON 2000 HOWEVER YA SPELL LOL
6 MAN HELL IN CELL
PLZ DO THIS SOON XXXX
Yup!
Completely agree! Eddie and Chyna was one of the best programs to watch in all of WWE history in my opinion. Absolute GOLD.
WWE History???
It wasn't even best program in the year 2000. Rock/HHH was better (Backlash) Angle/Undertaker was better (Fully Loaded).
It was a great program agreed.
Eddie and Chyna were adorable.
@@j.3o21 Practically every time HHH and Rock touched, it was gold, including their undercard days.
In the main event the stips were a six man with the winner from the face team getting a title shot at Fully Loaded
That was created by Linda
If HHHs team won he would defend against the KOTR winner
The heels changed it to a title match to create dysfunction in the face team
Whoever got the fall on anyone of the heels would be the champion
The stipulations were simple
😂I know right.
Indeed! And if the heels won, Hunter would retain. Yes, the stip was incredibly simple. I dont understand the confusion.
Love the content but there is a lot of pops in the audio...I'm sure it's just a matter of making a slight mic adjustment.
That's just JR struggling to breathe
Lobstah rolls. Boston is best city ever
My first wwe event that I attended. I loved it. And spot on with the 🦞 rolls!!
I always felt Survivor Series should be a tournament PPV. Thats too cool of a name to just be a throw away PPV name with no meaning.
It was done in tournament form in 98 and that was done very well
The original survivor series concept is about survival eg the elimination matches
I believe the ‘89 or ‘90 version was somewhat a tournament. Nothing was on the line besides pride, but the survivors from each of the matches on the card would then return for the final match of the night to determine the “ultimate” survivor.
I think. It’s been a while.
@@blueblur2329 that was the PEAK of Vince Russo. Masterful booking.
Does anyone remember the rock.com it was a WWF chatroom?
I never got the 4 corner tag team matches.
Can we do something about JR snorting up snot right into the mic?
Hahhhh
Considering the amount of Cigarettes JR has during a show, I'm surprised he doesn't do it MORE often
Joe Barrow??? I'm pretty sure that's a baseball up and comer ha😅
Why is it $30 for your bbq sauce. That bullshit!
Giving JR a telling off!, I hope you havent seen what amazon charge for his cookbook😮 you'd probably have an aneurysm😮😆🤣
The Chris Benoit DQ makes sense to me... He's the rabid wolverine and he's not going to win the tournament
I cant be the only one that's annoyed by jers mic moving and the constant heavy breathing lol
and sniffling
*cough cigarettes *cough.. sniiiiiiif.....
Brock signs 2000 and didnt make TV til 2002!

Todd pettengill by no means was my favorite. But he was good
His voiceovers with the video packages were always pretty cool, IMO. The rest was hit or miss.
