This week on Tales from the Attitude Era, former WWF writer Tommy Blacha and co-host Rob Pasbani head to St. Louis to recap the June 12, 2000, episode of RAW is WAR! This show is remembered for a legendary (and unintentional) high-stakes moment involving the Chairman himself. We break down the chaotic Tables Match where a 54-year-old Vince McMahon took a frightening spill off the shoulders of Bubba Ray Dudley, falling from the top rope all the way to the arena floor. Tommy Blacha shares what it was like backstage watching the boss take such a dangerous bump and how the performers reacted in the moment. We also dive into the beginning of one of the Attitude Era’s most entertaining dynamics: the subtle, quirky chemistry between Kurt Angle and Stephanie McMahon. From their accidental hallway bumps to that infamous celebratory hug, we discuss how this storyline sparked one of the biggest pushes in the company. Other highlights include: - Linda McMahon returns as CEO to school the faction, forcing The Rock, Undertaker, and Kane into an uneasy alliance. - Triple H wins a grueling title defense against Chris Jericho. - The McMahon-Helmsley faction’s psychological warfare as they unmask Kane in a dark locker room. - Lita debuting her iconic Team Xtreme look while chasing Stephanie McMahon for the WWF Women’s Championship. - Crash Holly finally reclaiming the Hardcore Championship from Gerald Brisco.
