## Resource

Former WWF writer Tommy Blacha and co-host Rob Pasbani are in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to recap a night of massive upsets and "soft reboots." The episode is headlined by a shocker as the Brooklyn Brawler pins Triple H in a handicap match after Chris Jericho provides a timely distraction. We break down the scary, legitimate injury sustained by Hardcore Holly during a stiff match with Kurt Angle, where a chaotic moonsault resulted in a broken arm for the "Big Shot." Tommy Blacha provides the backstage scoop on Taz’s "doghouse" status with management, the real-life logistics of the XFL launch, and why Vince McMahon reneged on his promise to give Mick Foley six months off. We also discuss the debut of the "Conchierto" and the emergence of Steven Richards as the moral authority of the Right to Censor. Other major discussion points include: - The Rock’s Hollywood absence and his world premiere of "It Doesn't Matter" on TRL. - Kurt Angle’s hilarious and accidental "milk" assault on the Undertaker’s motorcycle. - Val Venis shocking Rikishi to capture the Intercontinental Championship. - Steve Blackman reclaiming his killer instinct (and the Hardcore Title) with a nunchuck assault. - Tommy Blacha shares his original pitch for a "Split Belt" gimmick for the women's division.
