30 Week Journey: Wrestlemania XVII (2001) - Part One
Hosts Jack Encarnacao and JP Sarro go especially deep this week, as your co-chairmen prove more than up to the task of tackling a show wrought with such tremendous historical significance, taking place as it did weeks after the WWF purchased WCW and changed wrestling forever.
The podcast includes:
- Wide-ranging discussion of the disastrous Steve Austin heel turn, and what minor tweaks could have given a shot at success
- The squandered potential of the WCW invasion, and why the top WCW names like Flair, Goldberg, Nash, Hall, and Hogan weren’t brought in right away but all eventually were
- Why Shane McMahon’s coast-to-coast dropkick into a trash can resting on his father’s face is the perfect finish to a pro wrestling grudge match
- Some 18 months into his WWF run, Kurt Angle dazzles by more than holding his own in a technical masterpiece with Chris Benoit
- The lessons of TLC II
- HHH v. Ray Lewis? HHH v. Mike Tyson?
- Analysis of the most underrated commentary duo in WWF history – JR and Paul Heyman
- Why this show was the swansong for so many die hard wrestling fans
Plus exclusive audio clips from interviews with Steve Austin on eclipsing Hogan, Eric Bischoff on how the AOL/Time Warner merger spelled WCW’s demise, and Jeff Hardy on why his Mania risks were worth taking. And Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer returns to explain why this show was the greatest in WWF history and the not-so-positive changes it set in motion.
