The Rock Wins, Austin Returns: Was Backlash 2000 Better Than WrestleMania?

This week on Tales from the Attitude Era, Rob Pasbani and former WWF writer Tommy Blacha are joined by special guest, comedian and pro wrestler Peter Angelo (@metalpetecomedy), to review one of the greatest pay-per-views of the era: Backlash 2000!

This is the epic culmination of the WrestleMania fallout, where The Rock finally gets his one-on-one match against Triple H for the WWF Championship. The main event explodes into chaos with interference from the entire McMahon family, Patterson & Brisco, and the monumental return of Stone Cold Steve Austin, who helps The Rock finally reclaim the gold.

We also dive into:

– The hilarious and unforgettable sight of The Big Show impersonating Hulk Hogan to face Kurt Angle.

– The satisfying payoff to a month-long storyline as The Dudley Boyz finally put Trish Stratus through a table.

– A technical wrestling classic for the Intercontinental Title between Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit.

– A fantastic, star-making performance from Dean Malenko and Scotty 2 Hotty for the Light Heavyweight Championship.

– Lita getting her revenge on Chyna by stripping her down to her bra and panties in the middle of the ring.

Join us for a deep dive into a pay-per-view that delivered on all fronts, from incredible in-ring action to unforgettable Attitude Era moments.
