A my GM drop and a POD. The boys are back in town tonight. WOOOOO

That Guy

When they shoot the Pyro down onto the stage, it’s on a wire thin enough and with SD television that you can’t really see it. It’s the same thing they used for the Undertaker‘s Pyro at wrestlemania 45, that broke and burned 45 people.

I want tony to come in me 😏😏😏🍆💦😩😩😩😩

bonerific

sure hope it's a promise

DEADLOCK

Sick! EDIT: Wait I didn't read it all, the second part is bad!

Bro Wit Glasses

I've been waiting for you guys to review this episode for years. Essentially the start of the Attitude Era.

FightForever3301

This might be the greatest/most historic episode of Raw ever

Garrett Kenney

I used to watch "The Best of Raw: Vol 1" almost everyday as a kid and this show is like HALF of that VHS. Billy Gunn doing the DX theme while hitting crotch chops is a vivid memory for me.

JP Tuesday

Tony is here. More Tonys are coming to Deadlock.

VacuumWhistler

Whoever had that Warhammer patreon name I hope your pillow is always cold and your ass is never swampy

DrPepperEnjoyer23

I can’t wait to have one Dr.pepper Two Dr.Peppers Three Dr.Peppers Four Dr.Peppers A hot dog Five Dr.Peppers Hell, maybe even the whole case if I’m feeling a lil goofy

I'm an old bastard; the cats who do the RE ECW stuff add the Direct TV Nitro Plus shit into their rips of Nitro on the places you can find those things. It's largely a few extra interviews / promos (and the people who promo are usually a lot more "relaxed") and then some bad desk commentary commenting on what we just saw

Cyco Vision

so the nitro ppv experiment was interesting, just rando backstage exclusive stuff. But for 5 dollars seems wasteful. HOWEVER years later if you had a satellite and manage to find the coordinates, and time it right you can catch dark matches and pre-show set up on WWF and WCW feeds when they do their tapings. Thankfully wwe vault has plenty of uncovered dark matches you can check out that fans got a chance to see back then.

Tennessee Lee was called "A Beautiful Volunteer" by Tony Chimel because he's from Tennessee the volunteer state

Meigitsune

Best $50.01 I’ve ever spent.

BigJ

This episode definitely felt like the "official" start of the Attitude Era.

Thank you for covering this episode!

Rocko Bamonti

Great episode boys! I remember this raw so well. 14 year old me was so excited for this raw after mania. I wanted to say i remember always hearing about Nitro plus. I would record nitro on vhs downstairs and watch Raw upstairs with my brother. 41 year old old head!

Jeremiah Gatto

So bummed that I watched the wrong episode for this. However, I did see Goldust in black face.

Rocko Bamonti

Johnny, you do a fantastic Luna!!!

I like Bobby Fish… but he’s got this fish gimmick

I had some issues with Archive and ended up watching the wrong episode in advance so I was very confused when this episode started. Was expecting you to cover the Goldust does blackface episode
