## Resource

Former WWF writer Tommy Blacha and co-host Rob Pasbani dive into the highly acclaimed July 2000 pay per view event from the Reunion Arena in Dallas, Texas. This episode of Tales from the Attitude Era covers all the action from Fully Loaded, an event that perfectly highlights the transition of new main event stars stepping into the spotlight. We break down the intense triple main event, starting with the brutal Last Man Standing match between Triple H and Chris Jericho that left the ring covered in blood. The discussion then shifts to the WWF Championship match between The Rock and Chris Benoit, featuring Shane McMahon's interference and a controversial restart by Mick Foley. We also dissect the incredible Steel Cage match for the Intercontinental Championship, where Rikishi risked it all with a massive dive against Val Venis. Tommy Blacha provides fascinating backstage insight into how corporate analytics, buyrates, and the lack of competition from WCW began creating unnecessary tension within the WWF creative team. Other major discussion points include: - The Hardy Boyz and Lita taking on T&A and Trish Stratus in an exciting intergender tag team match. - Edge and Christian faking food poisoning before their title defense against The Acolytes. - Eddie Guerrero defending the European Championship against Perry Saturn. - The Undertaker getting swift revenge on Kurt Angle after weeks of sneak attacks. - Tazz making an impact in his match against Al Snow. 0:00 Intro 2:54 Backstage Reaction to the Pay Per View Buyrate 7:37 Corporate Analytics and the Loss of Creative Freedom 18:03 The Triple Main Event Set Design 19:41 The Hardy Boyz and Lita vs. T&A and Trish Stratus 26:38 Tazz vs. Al Snow 28:22 Eddie Guerrero vs. Perry Saturn for the European Championship 31:22 Mi…
