This is like the first step in the long line of events that lead to Gene Snitsky punting the baby.

I remember as a kid seeing Kane use a wall of fire to cut off Matt and Lita from leaving and thinking it was the coolest thing ever. Why the FUCK did they never use that for an angle that wasn’t completely dog shit?!

PorygonFTW

Who the hell is "KAND?"

Cole

Insane amount of chase Richardsons this episode

Mattie

28:48 btw MFDOOM released madvillany and MMFOOD in 2004 so you know GOAT shit right there also I was released in 2004 out of my mom i like to think my birth was better than this 04 episode of raw

Slothio

the 2004 rundown might legit go down as a top 5 pod moment of all time for me

BigJ

"Super Saiyan 4 is happening, and you want me to watch Kane?!"

Pulse forgot a ton of games from 2004 lol. In no particular order: World of WarCraft launch, the second Paper Mario, Katamari Damacy, UT2004, Metroid: Zero Mission, Zelda: Four Swords, Doom 3, Chronicles of Riddick, the third Ratchet and Clank, the Ninja Gaiden reboot on OG Xbox, Burnout 3, etc. ...a ridiculous boon of games. RAW was already dogshit last year, why would any young person watch this dogshit with so many games to play and things to watch on TV?

BigJ

Wildboyz and Viva la Bam was popping off, too.

Tim A.

That was my favourite bit of this show. It came out of nowhere and made me laugh and simultaneously made me realise how great that year was. My favourite game that came out in 2004 was Sly 2: Band of Thieves. Still playing it 21 years later.

The Matt Hardy episode where he returns to shout RoH is my #1 requested episode. There are so many amazing things that happen.

Real North Carolina judge Dick Boner

DOOM’s best shit, College Dropout, Leviathan, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, Good News for People Who Like Bad News, Miss Machine, The Grind Date, Volume 3, and I’m supposed to listen to KANE PROMOS???

Breastination Unknown! Booby, Booby, Booby Soho!

FUN FACTS FOR THE PATRONS: NUMBER ONE (wah-pah-chh): If I'm not mistaken, The Rock doesn't return full-time until 2011 because WWE accidentally let his contract expire. Rock was very pissed about it. He only made three appearances between this and 2011. Two were pre-taped and one was to induct his father and grandfather in the Hall of Fame. NUMBER TWO (wap-pah-chh): The Rock looks this way because he had just filmed "Be Cool" and was about to start filming "Doom."

Real North Carolina judge Dick Boner

THEY FUCKING OPENED WITH THE DIVA SEARCH?????????? VITOR BELFORT IS FIGHTING RANDY COUTURE AND YOU WANT ME TO WATCH THIS SHIT????????

Nathan Pierce

KANE OVER TRACY MCGRADY ARE YOU KIDDING ME

TravisBroski

Legit that match is nuts in the most cursed way

Mayfly

A sixth round draft pick is running the NFL like a track meet TWO SUPER BOWLS and I’m supposed to be rooting for EUGENE????

Mayfly

Accidentally letting the contract of undoubtedly your biggest star for years to come is one of the most egregious things I’ve ever heard of. Imagine if TNA just forgot to sign 2009 Kurt Angle again. Yeah this company deserved to die

BigJ

I'm jacking off to Naughty America, and you want me to watch KANE?!

ConsulttheBones

I'm out here boots on the ground in Fallujah and you want me to watch KANE?!

Richard Ives

That Heidenreich story was hilarious 😹

The MK Zer-Yooooooooooooooooooo

Go down to the Bam Bam Deli, get a Bam Bam Burgerlow, a Ham Ham BigSandwich, and a Bam Bam Bagelow with cream cheese.

Ham B No

RuneScape > Kane

Danny Mudbone

“Look at my man with Tajiri with the pies” had me on the verge of tears at work 😭

natey boi

imagine you’re lita and you’re just coming back from a year and a half off after having neck surgery and like 8 or 9 months later you’re being sidelined from in ring competition again not cos of injury but because creative wants you to be pregnant with kane’s demon baby from hell like BRO 😭 thank god this storyline also led to her and trish having one of the best rivalries of the year and main eventing raw.

Kason Romanowski

Barry Bonds was taking as many steroids as humanly possible and you’re telling me to watch KANE???

the big amish nick kurtz

i thought james was going to run down what was happening at the same time in roh and tna and noah, but instead this man started talking about toonami and the ‘04 panthers lineup and that’s why he’s my GOAT

polo bear

I'm doing the one mission in Katamari Damacy where you have to play for 25 minutes to make the moon and I'm playing it like 5 times which is the length of a Raw instead of actually watching Raw. I'm getting killed by Rogues and shit as a level 1 on WOW instead of watching Raw. I could listen to The College Dropout which is made by a guy who wasn't a nazi yet instead of watching fucking Raw like fuck man lol

James: "This was a great time to be a kid" Me: [20-years-old and in college in 2004 but with basically the same media diet at 11-year-old James] "Haha, yeah, great time to be a kid"

Nick C.

My regdate on the Something Awful forums is early 2004. They had a really active wrestling community back then (still do!) but I remember seeing the weekly threads in GBS and countless WWE-related custom titles back then and thinking "That's still going? I know Stone Cold and The Rock are gone, people are still watching that?" Finding out that THIS is the kind of stuff that was generating that level of discussion is crazy. Also Tony hit the nail on the head for why I can't stand The Rock: the dude forgot how to modulate his heel and face personas. At some point he decided he could do his heel schtick to everybody but still be a good guy, so his character - on and off camera - became an endless stream of insults handwaved with some insincere "Hey, we're just having fun" asides.

THECRIMSON FUQER

Him and Austin were the most dickhead faces ever.
