Summary
Kris and David are back to discuss the week-plus that was December 17-24, 2000. Topics of discussion include: Raw and Smackdown featuring a TON of Vince McMahon soap opera with neither show having much wrestling of note, all while ratings are declining. The Rock and The Undertaker becoming WWF Tag Team hampions for a one day title change that nobody remembers. Road Dogg being extremely thin ice due to his personal issues. New Japan and all of their political issues with both Shinya Hashimoto and Motoko Baba. NOAH having its best match to date in the form of Jun Akiyama vs. Kenta Kobashi at Ariake Colosseum. Just how “Bangable” was Survival Tobita? The greatness of Toryumon. Kazushi Sakuraba vs. Ryan Gracie headlining a newsworthy PRIDE card. Akira Maeda attacking a female RINGS employee. The final ECW Arena show for ECW. Dave Meltzer talking about the future of “The Prototype” John Cena in UPW. A completely insane WCW section featuring the final Starrcade, DDP and Scott Steiner getting into a backstage fight, Kevin Nash being political as hell, and some wacky clips. This was a tremendous show, so we hope you enjoy it. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!
