## Resource

This week on Tales from the Attitude Era, former WWF writer Tommy Blacha and co-host Rob Pasbani head north to Vancouver for the May 29, 2000, episode of RAW is WAR! It’s a Memorial Day classic featuring one of the hottest (and most anti-American) crowds of the year. We break down the massive return of Kane, who interrupts a chaotic lumberjack brawl between The Rock, Undertaker, and the McMahon-Helmsley Faction. Plus, Too Cool shocks the world by defeating Edge & Christian for the Tag Team Titles with help from Kid Rock's hype man, Joe C! We also dive into: - Kurt Angle's legendary nuclear heat promo insulting Ben Johnson, the Grizzlies, and Canadian healthcare. - A discussion on WWE's history with Canadian customs and immigration lawyers. - The "Cold Spot" match that the crowd ignored to chant for "Puppies." - Chris Benoit vs. Hardcore Holly in an incredibly stiff bout. - The mystery of who is attacking Vince McMahon, Road Dogg, and Pat Patterson backstage. - The Kat returns to join The Godfather and Dean Malenko.
