Ep. #251: May 20-26, 2001 with Rob Bihari (Part 1)

Kris & David are joined by Rob Bihari (@RobViper) to discuss the week that was May 19-25, 2001. This is Part 1, as we discuss the World Wrestling Federation and everything that went on there during the week, which was a loaded one featuring Judgement Day where Steve Austin & Triple H had major issues, setting up Raw the next night, where they lost their tag titles to Chris Benoit & Chris Jericho in one of the most memorable matches in show history…featuring Triple H's torn quad injury. We also go to Smackdown for an unadvertised TLC match that is one of the greatest ever in that genre but gets slept on because it was on a random TV show. We also talk about Shane McMahon’s “C is for cookie” promo, Terri Runnels pouring the APA's beer on her shirt, and lots more from TV. We also talk about the pending involvement of WCW talent and all the plans for them at the time. 

Again, Part 2 will be released separately, so make sure you listen to that after you listen to this great piece of audio!!!!
