The Chamber, Nen-Flow vs. Intestinal Fortitude, and the Kim-Solo Mystery

[[ THE JOE ROGAN EXPERIENCE #1598 ]]

GUEST: Jerry “The King” Lawler TOPIC: The Chamber, Nen-Flow vs. Intestinal Fortitude, and the Kim-Solo Mystery


JOE ROGAN: (Adjusting the headphones, looking rejuvenated) “Alright, we’re back. And man… it feels good to finally speak freely. I was backstage at Raw and Vince was literally purple, Jerry. He told me if I said the word ‘Nen’ one more time, he’d have me escorted out by the APA. But we’re in my studio now. The ‘Vince-Approved’ filter is OFF.”

JERRY LAWLER: (Laughing) “I thought you were going to short-circuit, Joe! You were calling athleticism ‘biomechanical fortitude.’ I’ve never seen you so obedient!”

JOE ROGAN: “It was painful, dude! But look at this Elimination Chamber card. It’s a Masterclass in different energy systems. Let’s talk about Triple H vs. Zangief II. People see Hunter as just a ‘Game Player,’ but he’s a high-level Manipulator. He doesn’t just hit you; he manipulates the geometry of the ring to trap you. He won the first one cleanly because he stayed out of Zangief’s ‘En’ circle. If he wins this, he’s #2 P4P in the world. That’s insane.”


[[ THE WORLD CUP: AGATOM vs. KIM-SOLO ]]

JOE ROGAN: “This is the one I’m watching, Jerry. Agatom. 5’3″, cruiserweight from the Philippines. The guy is a Transmuter, 100%. He turned that match with Van Damme into a Lucha Libre art piece just to hide his true output. But Kim-Solo? The North Korean representative? There is zero tape on this guy. Rumor is he’s a Specialist. To get to the Elite 8, Agatom has to solve a riddle while being punched in the face.”

JERRY LAWLER: “And don’t forget Bret vs. Rey. Canada vs. Mexico. Bret is the ‘Excellence of Execution’ because his Nen-flow is perfectly balanced. It’s like a machine. Rey is pure Emission. He’s throwing his whole spirit into those 619s. It’s the most classic clash of energies on the card.”


[[ THE BOXER & THE GRACIE ]]

JOE ROGAN:Royce Gracie vs. Oscar De La Hoya. In a cage! This is wild. Oscar’s been training for a year, but Royce is the architect of the ground game. The question is: has Oscar developed enough ‘Ken’ to protect his limbs once it goes to the mat? If he stays on his feet, he can KO anyone. But if Royce touches him… it’s over. It’s a 1993 throwback with 2026 technology.”

JERRY LAWLER: “What about Shane and Kurt? Shane’s 2-0! The ‘Upset of the Year’! Kurt’s a 4-2 wreck right now. He got tossed from the Rumble in two minutes by X-Pac! X-Pac!”

JOE ROGAN: “Kurt’s gassed, man. His spirit is fractured. He’s obsessed with the ‘tap’ that never happened. Shane, on the other hand, has that ‘McMahon Madness’—which is basically just chaotic Enhancement. He doesn’t care if he breaks his own body as long as he wins.”


[[ THE MAIN EVENT: THE CHAMBER ]]

JOE ROGAN: “And then… the big one. The Chamber. Goldberg in the #6 Pod. He’s entering last, Jerry! He’s got the freshest Nen-reserves in the building. But he’s in there with The Undertaker and Kane. Those two… their ‘Hadou’ is dark, dude. It’s heavy. And Guile? Special Ops training? He probably has a literal ‘Sonic Boom’ transmuted into his strikes.”

JERRY LAWLER: “If Goldberg wins, he takes everything from Hogan at Mania. The USA Belt, the Aureus Belt… Hogan won’t even be in the World Cup next year!”

JOE ROGAN: “It’s the ultimate gamble. Goldberg is 3-0. He’s the Specimen. But 16 tons of steel doesn’t care about your win streak. It’s going to be a bloodbath, and for the first time… I don’t have to call it ‘Sports Entertainment.’ It’s a war of Wills.”


[[ ADMIN_NEIL NOTE: Rogan is hyped! The predictions are in. Triple H is chasing #2, Agatom is chasing the Elite 8, and Goldberg is chasing immortality. ]]

CLASH AT THE CASTLE Official Fight Card

DATE: SEPTEMBER 17, 2000

LOCATION: HAMPDEN PARK, GLASGOW, SCOTLAND

The “Gonzaga Protocol” has taken over the United Kingdom. With a card featuring everything from ancient legends to street-fighting icons, the world’s most elite analysts have weighed in. Here is the final report on the most anticipated night in modern combat sports.


[[ THE MAIN EVENT: GENERATIONAL CROSSROADS ]]

HULK HOGAN vs. BRUNO SAMMARTINO

  • TEDDY ATLAS: “You look at Bruno, he’s 46, but he’s got that ‘Old World’ strength. He’s a man who doesn’t know how to take a step back. But Hogan? Hogan is in that zone where he believes his own myth. If Bruno can’t trap him in a bearhug in the first three minutes, the speed and the ‘Gonzaga-era’ conditioning of Hogan will simply melt the legend. Prediction: Hogan via TKO (4th Minute).

  • MAX KELLERMAN: “This is a legacy fight, pure and simple. Bruno is coming off a win over Piper, but Andre exposed the mobility issues. Hogan is too explosive. It’s going to be a sentimental start and a brutal finish. Prediction: Hogan.


[[ THE SCOTTISH TRAGEDY: RETIREMENT OR REDEMPTION? ]]

BRET “THE HITMAN” HART vs. “ROWDY” RODDY PIPER

  • JIM LAMPLEY: “We are looking at the potential end of a 35-year-old icon’s career. Piper is 0-2 and facing a suspension. The pressure is suffocating. Bret Hart is a surgeon, and he’s coming to Glasgow to perform an amputation on Piper’s career. It’s heart-wrenching. Prediction: Hart via Sharpshooter.

  • JOE ROGAN: “Never count out a crazy man in his backyard. Piper is fighting for his life. If he turns this into a dirty brawl and ignores the ‘wrestling’ aspect, he can win. But Bret is too disciplined. Prediction: Hart.


[[ THE STREET FIGHTER SHOWCASE: RYU’S DEBUT ]]

RYU vs. THE BRITISH BULLDOG (Replacement for William Regal)

  • JOE ROGAN: “Ryu is a mystery. We saw what he did to Sagat—it was like watching a video game in real life. The Bulldog is a powerhouse, but he’s moving slow. Ryu’s striking is on a different frequency. If Ryu lands one ‘Shoryuken’ style uppercut, the Bulldog is going to sleep. Prediction: Ryu via KO.

  • TEDDY ATLAS: “The Bulldog has the size, but Ryu has the ‘No-Mind.’ He’s not fighting the man; he’s fighting the technique. This is a mismatch in speed. Prediction: Ryu.


[[ THE BMF GRUDGE: THE PRINCE VS. THE SON ]]

PRINCE NASEEM HAMED vs. ROYCE GRACIE (BMF Rules)

  • MAX KELLERMAN: “Naseem is using Royce as a punching bag to prepare for Rickson. That’s dangerous. Royce is a UFC pioneer. Under BMF rules (No Time Limit), Naseem’s boxing speed eventually fades. Once it hits the ground, it’s Royce’s world. Prediction: Royce Gracie via Submission.

  • JOE ROGAN: “I disagree. Naseem has been training his sprawls. He’s going to light Royce up on the feet. Royce isn’t as aggressive as his father. Prediction: Prince Naseem via TKO.


[[ THE HEAVYWEIGHT SLUGFESTS ]]

Match Analysis Predictor Winner
Kimbo Slice vs. Eagle “Kimbo is cherry-picking, but Eagle is a technical nightmare. If Kimbo can’t find the chin early, Eagle’s reach wins.” Teddy Atlas Kimbo Slice
Birdie vs. Butterbean II “Birdie is 500lbs of bad news. Butterbean is a legend, but Birdie’s chains and headbutts are too much for a boxer.” Joe Rogan Birdie

[[ THE SEPTEMBER 2000 FINAL CARD ]]

  1. Hulk Hogan vs. Bruno Sammartino (USA Title / UWC Vacant)

  2. Bret Hart vs. Roddy Piper (Career on the Line)

  3. Ryu vs. British Bulldog (The Highland Debut)

  4. Kimbo Slice vs. Eagle (Street Fighter Dream Match)

  5. Birdie vs. Butterbean II (The Rematch)

  6. Prince Naseem vs. Royce Gracie (BMF Rules)


[[ ADMIN_NEIL NOTE: The gate is sold out. The Scottish fans are ready to riot if Piper loses. This is the biggest night in the history of the Gonzaga Protocol! ]]

Tale of the Tape: Hogan vs Bruno Betting Odds

DATE: September 2000 | LOCATION: Glasgow, Scotland

MATCH: Hulk Hogan (36) vs. Bruno Sammartino (47)

STAKES: Undisputed USA Championship & UWC #1 Contender Status

The “Gonzaga Protocol” has calculated the most significant heavyweight encounter in history. This isn’t just a fight; it’s a data-driven collision between the Power of the 80s and the Strength of the 60s. In this reality, the “Living Legend” Bruno is a decade younger than in our world, entering the ring at a terrifying 47 years old, while Hogan is at the peak of his physical and political power at 36.


[[ TALE OF THE TAPE: THE TALE OF THE STEROID-FREE VS. THE VITAMIN-UE ]]

STATISTIC HULK HOGAN (The Icon) BRUNO SAMMARTINO (The Legend)
Age 36 47
Height 6’7″ 5’10”
Weight 302 lbs 265 lbs
Reach 78 inches 71 inches
Biceps 22.5″ (Measured) / 24″ (Billed) 19.5″ (Rock Solid)
Chest 58 inches 56 inches
Gym: Bench Press 550 lbs (Raw) 565 lbs (World Record 1959)
Gym: Squat 600+ lbs 700+ lbs
Calisthenics 50 Push-ups / 5 Pull-ups 500 Hindu Squats / 100 Hindu Push-ups
Endurance High (Adrenaline-based) Infinite (Conditioning-based)

[[ THE ANALYSIS & PREDICTIONS ]]

JIM LAMPLEY: “It’s the reach, folks! Hogan’s wingspan is 7 inches longer. In a WWF ring, that’s a lifetime. Bruno has to navigate a forest of arms just to get to the clinch. If he doesn’t, Hogan picks him apart.”

TEDDY ATLAS: “Style makes fights! Bruno is a ‘fireman’—he goes into the burning building and carries everyone out. Hogan is a ‘landlord’—he expects you to pay rent for being in his ring. If Bruno can survive the first 10 minutes of the ‘Hulk’ onslaught, Hogan’s ego will start to leak, and that’s when the Italian Strongman takes him down.”

LENNOX LEWIS: “Hogan is the bigger man, but Bruno is the stronger man. I’ve seen Sammartino lift guys like Haystacks Calhoun. That’s scary power. If Hogan gets caught in a Bearhug, his ribs are turning into powder.”

MIKE TYSON: “Hogan looks like a god, man. But Bruno? Bruno is a dog. He grew up hiding from Nazis in the mountains. You can’t scare a man like that with a bandana and some yellow tights. I’m leaning toward the old man with the heavy hands.”

 

JERRY LAWLER: “Are you kidding me? Hogan is 36! He’s in the prime of his life! Bruno is a legend, but he’s 47 and coming off an Andre beating. Hogan is going to drop the leg and the crown is staying in California.”

VINCE MCMAHON: “It’s about the Marketability of Might. Hogan represents the future, Bruno represents the foundation. But foundations eventually crack under the weight of a 300lb Leg Drop. This is Hogan’s night.”

JOE ROGAN: “Look at the Hindu Squats, man! Bruno does 500 a day! His cardio is on a different planet compared to a guy like Hogan who trains for ‘the look.’ If this goes past 15 minutes, Hogan will be gasping for air while Bruno is just getting started.”

DANA WHITE: “Listen, Hogan is the favorite for a reason. He’s 11 years younger. That’s a massive gap in combat sports. But if Bruno pulls off the upset, he’s the #1 P4P immediately. No question.”

QUINITO HENSON: “The ‘Lutong Macau’ factor isn’t here, folks. This is a real fight! Hogan has the height, but Bruno has the leverage. If Bruno stays low and works the legs, Hogan’s height becomes a disadvantage.”


[[ THE BETTING ODDS ]]

  • Hulk Hogan: -250 (Favorite)

  • Bruno Sammartino: +180 (Underdog)

  • Method of Victory: Pinfall (-110)

  • Method of Victory: Submission (Bearhug) (+450)

  • Over/Under: 15.5 Minutes


[[ ADMIN_NEIL NOTE: The odds favor the youth and size of Hogan, but the “smart money” in the Underground is on a Bruno Sammartino Submission. The Glasgow crowd is 70/30 in favor of the Legend! ]]

WWF SUMMERSLAM: THE GAUNTLET OF THE GODS

The MGM Grand is vibrating. This isn’t just a wrestling card; it’s a collision of geopolitical tensions, ancient martial arts, and the two most dominant eras of combat history. As the “Gonzaga Protocol” resets the rankings, SummerSlam 2026 stands as the ultimate filter. Here is the breakdown of the most stacked night in the history of the sport.


[[ THE SUMMERSLAM CARD & ODDS ]]

Match Type Combatants Betting Favorite
Opener LHW Title Kurt Angle vs. RVD Angle (-110)
Contract WWF Rights Blanka vs. Secret Opponent Blanka (-300)
Survivor WWF Rights Kim-Solo vs. Hang Man Choi Kim-Solo (-500)
Midcard Grudge Match Scott Hall vs. Ultimate Warrior Hall (-150)
Tag Team Warfare Rock & Austin vs. Ken Masters & El Fuerte Rock/Austin (-200)
UFC Title MMA Trilogy Ken Shamrock vs. Royce Gracie Gracie (-130)
Superfight MMA Hybrid Prince Naseem vs. Rickson Gracie Rickson (-400)
#1 Cont. USA Title Ted DiBiase vs. Macho Man Savage Savage (-120)
Main Event IC Cup Final Hulk Hogan vs. Andre The Giant EVEN

[[ THE ANALYSIS DESK: LAMPLEY, MERCHANT & LEWIS ]]

JIM LAMPLEY: “It’s a night where the past meets a very violent future! Lennox, the main event—Hulk Hogan, a man who reigned for decades, versus the undefeated European wall, Andre the Giant. Hogan has the USA title, but Andre has the momentum of a man who hasn’t tasted defeat in 20 years. Is size the only story here?”

LENNOX LEWIS: “Jim, in the heavyweight division, size is a tax you have to pay. Hogan is used to being the big man, but against Andre, he’s a middleweight. Andre is 36, in his physical prime, and hasn’t been solved. Hogan has to use his speed, but if Andre gets those hands on him, the ‘Hulkamania’ era might end in a very painful way.”

LARRY MERCHANT: “It’s a spectacle, not a sport! Hogan is a master of the theatrics, a man who has beaten everyone in the WCW ‘nursing home.’ But Andre isn’t Randy Savage or Roddy Piper. He’s a 500-pound reality check. And don’t get me started on the Prince Naseem vs. Rickson Gracie fight. You’re putting a featherweight boxer in a cage with the greatest grappler on Earth? That’s not a fight, Jim, that’s a sacrifice.”


[[ THE ROGAN RUNDOWN: THE NEW BLOOD ]]

JOE ROGAN: “Guys, you’re missing the technical insanity of this card. Look at Kim-Solo. The North Korean ‘Super-Soldier’ against Hang Man Choi. Choi is 0-2 and fighting for his life. If he loses, he’s gone for a year. But he’s facing a guy with a 200 IQ and a 500-0 record? That is terrifying! It’s like a computer program fighting a giant.”

ROGAN (cont.): “And the Blanka situation! This ‘Secret Opponent’ he’s facing for a contract? I’m hearing rumors it’s a high-level striker from the underground circuit. Blanka’s got that ‘Feral’ style—he’s using frog pigments to irritate skin and static wristbands to shock people. It’s wild, high-level science-fiction MMA!”


[[ THE SCOOP: KIM-SOLO & THE “CHOI” CRISIS ]]

While Pyongyang claims Kim-Solo is already the “Grand Champion,” the WWF rules are firm: He must win his debut. * Hang Man Choi is reportedly training in total isolation. After falling to Butterbean, his chin is the big question mark.

  • Kim-Solo spent his open workout session solving differential equations between rounds of bag work. He looks less like a wrestler and more like a biological weapon.


[[ THE MAIN EVENT: THE “IMMOVABLE” TRUTH ]]

The world is split. Hogan is ranked #4 P4P, but the “Fantasy Simulations” showing him slamming Andre are being laughed at by the European experts.

  • Hogan (P4P #4): The veteran. The icon. The man who made wrestling a global phenomenon. But he is the smaller man tonight.

  • Andre (Super HW #8): The “Undefeated.” 36 years old. He has dismantled every “Giant” Europe could throw at him. He treats Bruno Sammartino like a sparring partner.

LARRY MERCHANT’S FINAL WORD: “Hogan can talk about 24-inch pythons all he wants. Tonight, he’s fighting a man who eats pythons for breakfast. If Hogan wins, it’s a miracle. If Andre wins, it’s physics.”


[[ ADMIN_NEIL NOTE: The MGM Grand is SOLD OUT. I’ll be cageside for the Prince Naseem/Rickson Gracie fight—that’s going to be a pure ‘Style vs. Style’ disaster! ]]

Money in the Bank Predictions: WHO IS THE SMART MONEY ON?

Yo! I just got a look at the “Gray Market” betting lines floating around the Dallas underground. With the Titan Clash and Money in the Bank just days away, the high rollers are putting serious cash on the line.

Since we exposed Bill Gates and his glitchy code, the real bookies have stepped in with odds based on pure grit, momentum, and the “Mafia” power rankings. Here is what the betting floor looks like for the Reunion Arena.


[[ THE SUPER-HEAVYWEIGHT TOURNAMENT ODDS ]]

(The Quarter-Finals: Winner advances to the Final Four)

Matchup Betting Line The “Underground” Logic
Sagat vs. The Big Show Sagat (-250) / Big Show (+180) Sagat is the heavy favorite. One Tiger Knee is calculated to have the same force as a car crash. Big Show is a giant, but he’s never fought a King.
Yokozuna vs. Rikishi Yokozuna (-110) / Rikishi (-110) PICK ‘EM. This is the closest line on the card. Two Samoan titans who know each other’s secrets. The house is split 50/50.
Vader vs. Kane Kane (-140) / Vader (+110) The “Big Red Machine” has the youth advantage. Vader is a legend, but the bookies think Kane’s “Hellfire” stamina will outlast Vader’s power.
Butterbean vs. Birdie Butterbean (-300) / Birdie (+240) Butterbean is the “Lock of the Night.” If Birdie can’t use his chains to choke the boxer, he’s getting slept in the first 2 minutes.

[[ THE 8-MAN MONEY IN THE BANK ODDS ]]

(To win the briefcase and the Undisputed Contract)

  • AGATOM: +200 (The Favorite) – His speed is unmatched. The bookies see him as the most likely to “ninja” his way to the top.

  • EDGE: +350 – The “Ultimate Opportunist” tag is sticking. People are betting on him waiting for everyone else to fall.

  • BRUNO SAMMARTINO: +500 – The sentimental favorite. A lot of old-school money is coming in on the legend.

  • GOLIMAR: +650 – Dark horse. If he focuses on Agatom, he might clear the path for himself.

  • ZULU JR. / SEAGAL: +1200 (The Longshots) – Desperation is a factor, but the bookies think they’ll be too busy defending their roster spots to actually climb.

  • VINCE MCMAHON: +2500 – Unless he pays off the referee, the house says he’s going home empty-handed.


[[ THE “FUTURE” BOUT: LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT SEMIS ]]

KURT ANGLE (-180) vs. THE PROTOTYPE (+150)

The Scouting Report: Kurt Angle is an Olympic Gold Medalist, and the money reflects that. However, the “Prototype” (John Cena) is seeing a lot of “Sharp Money” (professional bettors) lately. People think the rookie is a freak of nature who could pull off a massive upset before SummerSlam.


[[ THE THREAD: BETTING BLOOD ]]

User: Xx_NWO_For_Life_xX

SAGAT AT -250?! 🐯 That’s free money. Big Show is going to be slow-motion compared to those Muay Thai strikes. I’m putting my whole paycheck on the King.

  • Reply: Raw_Is_War_2000

    Watch out, man. Show only needs to land one punch to change the odds. But I’m with you on Agatom at +200. The kid is built for ladder matches. 🇵🇭

User: HadoukenKid

Kurt Angle being the favorite over Cena makes sense, but +150 on the “Prototype” is tempting. If Cena wins, the entire Light Heavyweight division is on notice.

User: BeefSlammer69

I’m betting on Zulu Jr. at +1200. 👊😤 When a man is fighting for his job, he becomes a monster! He’s going to break that ladder in half and climb the pieces!


[[ ADMIN_NEIL NOTE: Word from the back is that Agatom has been seen training with a custom-weighted ladder to increase his climbing speed. The Dallas “Mafia” might have to move the line to -110 if he keeps this up! ]]

THE DALLAS “DEATH LIST” & THE MITB LEAKS: WHO IS CLIMBING THE LADDER?

Yo! I just got my hands on a fax that was “accidentally” left in a copier at the WWF headquarters in Stamford. We finally have the rumored names for the Titan Clash and the first-ever Money in the Bank (MITB).

Vince is calling this “The New Era of Opportunism,” but in the locker room, they’re calling it a suicide mission. Here is the leaked July lineup that’s going to change the WWF landscape forever.


[[ THE “TITAN CLASH” FINALIZED CARD ]]

July 23, 2000 – Reunion Arena, Dallas

The 8-man Heavyweight Tournament to crown the #1 Contender for SummerSlam:

  1. Butterbean vs. Birdie: (Boxing vs. Chains—a literal hospital trip waiting to happen).

  2. Sagat vs. The Big Show: (The Emperor of Muay Thai vs. The Largest Athlete in the World).

  3. Yokozuna vs. Rikishi: (The Battle of the Samoan Giants—the ring might actually collapse).

  4. Vader vs. Kane: (Pure Super Heavyweight carnage).


[[ LEAKED: THE 1ST EVER “MONEY IN THE BANK” LINEUP ]]

The “Mafia” wanted a mix of speed, technical brilliance, and absolute madness. These 6 men are reportedly the ones chosen to climb for the briefcase:

  • Rob Van Dam (RVD): The #3 Light Heavyweight and current favorite. If there’s a ladder, RVD is going to jump off it.

  • The Prototype (John Cena): The rookie powerhouse. He’s currently #8 in Light Heavyweight and looking for a “fast track” to the top.

  • Edge: The “Ultimate Opportunist” rumor is starting here. He’s built for this kind of chaos.

  • Christian: Where Edge goes, Christian follows. They’ll likely work together… until they don’t.

  • Chris Benoit: The technical machine. He doesn’t like gimmicks, but he likes winning.

  • Shelton Benjamin: Rumor has it this guy’s athleticism on a ladder is “superhuman.”

THE MECHANICS: The briefcase hangs 20 feet up. Inside is a contract for a World Title Match anytime, anywhere. If you win, you have one year to “cash in.” You could jump the champion during a grocery run or after a 60-minute iron man match. The Undisputed Belt is never safe again.


[[ THE RETURN: BRET “THE HITMAN” HART ]]

After his shocking loss to Yokozuna on March 26th—his first and only sanctioned WWF fight—Bret is back. He’s been silent while Goldberg, The Rock, and Stone Cold took over the headlines.

  • The July Fight: Bret vs. Kurt Angle. Bret wants to prove he’s still the “Excellence of Execution” against the new Olympic blood. He’s never fought the “Big Three” of the new era yet, and word is he’s using this match to scout his next target.


[[ THE WORLD REACTS TO THE MITB CONCEPT ]]

Personality The “Shoot” Reaction
Ryu (SF) “To climb for power instead of earning it through the fist… it is a strange path. But the courage to ascend while being attacked is a warrior’s trait.”
Guile (SF) “It’s an aerial tactical nightmare. You’re a sitting duck on that ladder. I hope these boys have their ‘Flash Kicks’ ready for the mid-air counters.”
The Rock “You think The Rock is scared of a briefcase? You can climb the ladder, grab the case, and open it up just to find a one-way ticket to Smackdown Hotel!”
Stone Cold “Vince wants to legalize muggings? Fine. But if you try to cash in on the Texas Rattlesnake, you’re getting a Stunner before you can even unzip the bag!”
Triple H “It’s a shortcut for cowards. I’ve spent 15 years in the trenches. If some high-flyer thinks he can skip the line, I’ll break his neck at the bottom of the ladder.”
Mike Tyson “It’s a street fight in the sky, man! I love it! It’s like the ‘hood—you always gotta be ready to bang, even when you’re tired.”
Michael Jordan “I took it personally that they didn’t ask me to be the one hanging the case. I’d like to see anyone try to out-jump me for it. 🏀”
Shaq “The ladder would break the second I put a toe on it! But I love the hustle. I’d cash in on Big Show during his lunch break. Give me the BBQ and the belt!”
Kobe Bryant “It’s Mamba Mentality. You find the path to the top while everyone else is fighting on the ground. It’s not a shortcut; it’s an obsession.”

[[ ADMIN_NEIL NOTE: I’m hearing that Agatom is also pushing to be the 7th man in the MITB match. Can you imagine the 116-pounder diving from 20 feet up? The Philippines would explode! ]]

CHICAGO CARNAGE POST-MATCH REPORT: THE ROAD TO RALEIGH BEGINS

Yo! The smoke hasn’t even cleared from the Allstate Arena. Chicago just witnessed a night that changed the hierarchy of the WWF forever. While the “Vocal Minority” is still arguing over the safety of the Cell, the “Mafia” is already looking at the August 27th date in Raleigh.

Forget the rumors you heard—here is the official fallout and the road ahead.


[[ THE LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT SITUATION: THE FINAL FOUR ]]

The Millennium Light Heavyweight Tournament is down to the wire. Despite some fans thinking we’d have a champion by now, the field is still wide open. We have four titans left, and the brackets for the semi-finals are set for next week:

  1. Kurt Angle vs. The Prototype (John Cena): After his controversial “tap” against Shane in the UFC match, Angle is in a blind rage. He has to cut weight to 220 to face the “Perfect Machine.” Prototype is looking to prove that UPW power beats Olympic technique.

  2. Shawn Michaels vs. Rob Van Dam: The match the underground has been begging for. HBK proved he can handle “Martial Artists” like Seagal; now he has to handle the “Anti-Gravity” style of RVD.

The Finals will be held at SummerSlam on August 27th to crown the Undisputed Light Heavyweight Champion.


[[ THE SUMMERSLAM 2000 FIGHT CARD (PRELIMINARY) ]]

1. THE OPENER: UFC WORLD TITLE FIGHT

Royce Gracie (C) vs. Ken Shamrock (Trilogy)

  • The Beef: Shamrock is demanding a restart after the Chicago “Boring” finish. This will be the definitive rubber match under pure UFC rules.

2. TAG TEAM EXHIBITION: THE FIRST OF ITS KIND

The Rock & Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Sagat & Ken Masters

  • The Vibe: A “Truce” has been signed. The WWF’s two biggest icons are teaming up to stop the “World Warrior” invasion. This will be the first tag match in WWF history to feature Street Fighters.

3. BMF CHAMPIONSHIP: THE KNOCKOUT SPECIAL

Kimbo Slice vs. Butterbean

  • The Vibe: Kimbo is 3-0 after destroying Zulu Jr., but the “Mafia” just signed the baddest man in boxing. This is for the BMF Belt. No wrestling allowed.

4. CO-MAIN: USA TITLE #1 CONTENDER FINALS

Ted DiBiase vs. “Macho Man” Randy Savage

  • The Twist: The Undertaker has officially abandoned this tournament! Taker told the board he doesn’t want the gold; he wants Mick Foley’s career. This leaves the “Million Dollar Man” (who just bought his way past Bischoff) to face the “Macho Man” for the right to challenge Hulk Hogan for the USA Belt.

5. MAIN EVENT: THE INTERCONTINENTAL FINALS

Andre The Giant vs. Hulk Hogan

  • The Stakes: The tournament that started in January concludes. The Intercontinental Belt is on the line in a clash of the two most legendary names in the sport.


[[ THE THREAD: CHICAGO AFTERMATH ]]

User: Xx_NWO_For_Life_xX

Taker leaving the tournament?! ⚱️ That’s cold. He’d rather hunt Foley than be the USA Champion. And Prototype vs Angle is going to be a shoot-fight, I’m calling it now. Angle is gonna try to break that kid’s ankle for real.

  • Reply: Raw_Is_War_2000

    HBK vs RVD is the real main event for me. 🌟 If Shawn is 90s-peak, he wins. If he’s “Retired Shawn,” RVD 4:20 is gonna splash him into the front row. And no way Prototype makes 220 lbs. He’s a tank!

User: HadoukenKid

Sagat and Ken Masters as a tag team? 🐯🕶️ I bet Ken is just using Sagat to protect his business interests in the WWF. If Austin hits a Stunner on Ken, the “Street Fighter” era might end before it starts.

User: BeefSlammer69

ANDRE VS HOGAN!! 🏆 It’s like 1987 all over again but in the year 2000. I don’t care about the UFC rules, I want to see the Leg Drop on the Giant one more time! 👊😤


[[ ADMIN_NEIL NOTE: I’m tracking the weight-ins for the Light Heavyweight semis. If Prototype misses weight, word is the “Mafia” might sub in a mystery flyer from the Philippines. Keep your eyes on the scale! ]]

THE ROCK VS. THE CLOWN: THE BRAHMA BULL VS. THE CIRCUS OF SINS

Yo! We are just three days away from the June 15th clash in the “Chicago Carnage” aftermath. While everyone is talking about the Super Heavyweight brackets and Sagat’s training, The Rock has a date with a nightmare.

The WWF Mafia has booked a “Psycho Circus” match. It’s The Rock vs. Doink the Clown. Most people think this is a joke—until you remember that under that face paint, Doink is a technical submission specialist.


[[ TALE OF THE TAPE: JUNE 15, 2000 ]]

FEATURE THE ROCK DOINK THE CLOWN
Height 6’5″ 6’0″
Weight 275 lbs 245 lbs

Recent Win The Hurricane (via Pinfall) Local Jobber (via Submission)
Weapon of Choice The People’s Eyebrow Joy Buzzer / Trick Buckets

[[ EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: THE ROCK SPEAKS ]]

I caught up with The Great One backstage after his workout. He’s currently on a tear, fresh off two massive victories that have redefined his 2000 run.

Admin_Neil: “Rock, the fans are still buzzing about your wins over Vader and The Hurricane. How are you feeling heading into June 15th against a clown?”

The Rock: > “Finally… The Rock has come back… to the underground! You want to talk about Vader? You want to talk about a 450-pound mastodon that smells like a wet dog and looks like a burnt marshmallow? The Rock took Vader, the biggest ‘God’ from Japan, and he Rock Bottomed his candy-ass straight through the canvas! 👊

And then… the WWF sends out ‘The Hurricane.’ A man who thinks he can fly? A man who wears a cape to work? The Rock didn’t just beat him—The Rock took that little green cape, wiped the sweat off the People’s Brow, and then… for the first time in history… I laid it down. The most electrifying move in sports entertainment. The People’s Elbow. ⚡️

Now, Vince and his ‘Mafia’ cronies want to send out a clown? Doink? You think because you paint your face and squeeze a rubber chicken that The Rock is scared? Doink, you listen to The Rock: You bring your buckets, you bring your midgets, you bring your cotton candy… because on June 15th, The Rock is going to take that big red nose, turn it sideways, and stick it straight up your candy-ass! If ya smell… what The Rock… is cookin’!”


[[ ANALYST PREDICTION: THE “PEOPLE’S” PREVAIL ]]

Joe Rogan: “Look, Doink is dangerous because he’s unpredictable. He might have a second Doink under the ring, or he might use that ‘Stump Puller’ to snap The Rock’s ankle. But The Rock is in a different universe right now. That ‘People’s Elbow’ he used on The Hurricane? It’s pure showmanship backed by 275 lbs of muscle. I don’t see the Clown surviving the first 5 minutes.”

THE PEOPLE’S ELBOW!! ⚡️ I saw it live against Hurricane. The way he takes off the elbow pad and throws it into the crowd? Peak entertainment. Doink is gonna get his wig flipped.

    Don’t sleep on the Clown. 🤡 Rumor is the “Mafia” hired the evil Doink, not the babyface one. If he uses a joy-buzzer or a bucket of water to distract the ref, Rocky might actually lose this one.

User: HadoukenKid

The Hurricane losing to that Elbow was a travesty. 🦸‍♂️ He should have used the “Eye of the Storm.” But seeing The Rock vs Vader was legendary. Vader looked like he didn’t know what hit him.

ROCK VS DOINK!! 👊😤 I want to see The Rock hit a Rock Bottom on a clown. It’s what 2000 was made for. And after that, let’s see Rock vs Sagat! The People’s Champ vs The Emperor! 🐯⚡️

EXCLUSIVE: THE STREET FIGHTERS BREAK THEIR SILENCE! (LEAKED INTERVIEWS)

Yo, everyone! I’ve been scouring the Japanese BBS boards and chasing leads in the Hong Kong underground for weeks. We finally tracked down some of the “World Warriors” to get their take on the WWF’s circus.

And yes… we even found a lead on Ken Masters. He isn’t “hiding”—he’s just living a life we can’t afford. Check the transcripts below.


[[ INTERVIEW 1: RYU – THE ETERNAL WANDERER ]]

Location: A secluded dojo outside of Kyoto. Ryu was found practicing kata under a waterfall.

REPORTER: “Ryu, Vince McMahon called you a ‘clown’ and says you’re ducking the WWF legends. What’s your response?”

RYU: (Long silence. He doesn’t even look at the camera.)

“McMahon speaks of ‘entertainment.’ I speak of the path. A true warrior does not seek a belt made of gold or a contract signed in ink. He seeks the answer in the heart of battle. If Hogan or Austin wish to find me, they do not need a promoter. They only need to walk the path. But warn them… the ‘Hadoken’ does not care about their TV ratings. It only knows the truth.”

REPORTER: “What do you think about the ‘Hell in a Cell’ match in Chicago?”

RYU:

“A cage is just a box for those who are afraid of the wind. To trap yourself in steel with another man is not a test of spirit—it is a test of desperation. I have fought on the edge of volcanoes and in the rain of Thailand. A cage cannot contain a real warrior.”


[[ INTERVIEW 2: CHUN-LI – THE INTERPOL OFFICER ]]

Location: Interpol HQ, Lyon. She was reviewing files on the “WWF Mafia” rumors.

CHUN-LI:

“The boxing invasion? It’s a mess. Prince Naseem and Butterbean are talented, but they’re being used as pawns in a power struggle between promoters. As for the WWF… my investigation into ‘Shadaloo’ connections is ongoing. There are certain ‘executives’ in that federation whose finances don’t add up. If they think they can hide behind a ‘Hell in a Cell,’ they’re wrong. Justice has a long reach—longer than Giant Gonzalez.”


[[ THE “FINDING KEN” MISSION: KEN MASTERS ]]

We finally tracked Ken down at a high-end beach resort in Malibu. He was training, but mostly he was lounging by a pool with a laptop (probably checking his stocks).

REPORTER: “Ken! People say you’re ducking the WWF. Vince says you’re scared of the ‘Genetic Power’ of a McMahon.”

KEN MASTERS: (Adjusts sunglasses, grins that million-dollar smile)

“Scared? Tell Vince I’ve got more ‘Genetic Power’ in my pinky than his whole roster has in their steroid-cabinet. I’m not ducking anyone. I’m just expensive, baby! If the WWF wants the ‘Masters’ touch, they gotta stop offering me ‘mid-card’ money. I’m 2-0 in life, and I’m 100-0 in the ring.

“As for the Chicago Cell… tell Mick Foley I respect the hustle, but he’s taking too many hits to the head. He should come out to Malibu, have a drink, and learn how to fight without getting his ear ripped off. And Shane McMahon? Fighting Angle under UFC rules? That’s the funniest thing I’ve heard all year. I’ll be watching from my yacht. Good luck, Shane-o! You’re gonna need it.”


[[ THE REACTION THREAD ]]

User: Xx_NWO_For_Life_xX

“I’m expensive, baby!” 🤣 Ken is such a legend. He basically just called the whole WWF roster poor. And Ryu? “A cage is just a box.” DAMN. He just roasted the entire Hell in a Cell concept in one sentence. 🌋🔥

  • Reply: Raw_Is_War_2000

    Ken is a show-off, but he’s right about Shane. Shane is gonna get folded by Angle. And Ryu is too “zen” for his own good. I want to see him hit a Hadoken on the Undertaker and see if the “Deadman” stays down.

User: HadoukenKid

Chun-Li investigating the WWF Mafia? 🕵️‍♀️ I KNEW IT. The Shadaloo connection is real. M. Bison is probably the one funding DiBiase’s “Million Dollar” lifestyle. This goes deeper than we thought, guys. #InterpolInTheRing

Ryu say cage is box. Box is for cereal. Meat is for Butterbean. Bean is better than Ryu. Bean punch waterfall!! 👊😤

[ ADMIN_NEIL ] – Posted: June 9, 2000 @ 11:58 PM

Yo, the 56k is screaming tonight! I just got the transcripts from the post-fight pressers in Vegas. The boxing community is absolutely LOSING IT. Half of them think Naz and Bean are heroes, and the other half (mostly the promoters) are terrified that the “WWF Mafia” is gonna eat their sport alive.

Here are the exclusive quotes from the biggest names in the “Sweet Science.”


[[ MIKE TYSON: “THE BADDEST MAN” WEIGHS IN ]]

Location: Ringside, Las Vegas.

“Listen, man… Butterbean is a beast. People underestimate him because of his shape, but that overhand right is ‘lights out’ for anyone. Seeing him throw and kick? That’s some street-fight energy right there. And Naz… Naz is a warrior. He went into the shadow of a giant and found a way to win. It wasn’t boxing, it was survival. I respect it. If Vince wants to keep this ‘Invasion’ going, he better call me. I’ve got some ‘Genetic Power’ for him too.”

[[ DON KING: THE HYPE MACHINE IN A PANIC ]]

Location: A private suite at the MGM Grand.

“It is a travesty! A tragedy! A monumental catastrophe of athletic proportions! Prince Naseem Hamed is a world-class pugilist, a king of the ring, and he is out there doing… what? Flip-flops and dropkicks? This is the WWF’s ‘Shadaloo’ influence corrupting the integrity of the Sweet Science! They are trying to turn our champions into circus performers! I will be filing injunctions! I will be filing lawsuits! Only in America can you see a Giant try to sit on a Prince, but it is BAD FOR BUSINESS!”

[[ OSCAR DE LA HOYA: THE GOLDEN BOY’S DOUBTS ]]

Location: Training camp in Big Bear.

“I respect Naz’s heart, but the Lucha Libre stuff? Come on. Boxing is about discipline and footwork, not jumping off the ropes. He entering at 158 lbs showed he was worried about the weight difference. I’m glad he won, but he looked hurt. If Gonzalez had any actual boxing skill, Naz wouldn’t have made it out of the first round. I’m staying in the ring; the WWF is a mess right now.”


[[ THE BOXING FORUM REPLIES (MIRRORED FROM BOXINGSCENE2000) ]]

User: Gloved_Up_88

Don King is just mad he isn’t getting a cut of the WWF gate. 💸 Butterbean looked like a MMA fighter out there! The kick to Choi’s leg was the beginning of the end. Boxing is evolving, and the “Peak 90s” legends are the ones who can’t keep up.

User: Iron_Chin_Tony

TYSON VS HOGAN. MAKE IT HAPPEN. 🥊🔥 If Tyson enters the WWF, the ratings will explode. Naz winning with a pinfall is the craziest thing I’ve ever seen. My dad almost threw his remote through the TV. He says it’s all a “work” to make wrestling look legit.

User: SweetScience_Purist

This “Invasion” is a joke. 🤡 Naz using dropkicks is an insult to every trainer he’s ever had. He’s an undefeated champion, not a stuntman. If he keeps this up, he’s gonna get a career-ending injury in a “non-sanctioned” brawl. Keep the boxers in the ring and the actors in the WWF.


[[ ADMIN_NEIL’S INSIDER UPDATE: THE BEAN GAUNTLET ]]

My sources say the Big Boss Man is furious about Butterbean’s win. He’s been telling the locker room that “a round mound can’t take down the Law.”

  • June 11 (Vegas): Butterbean vs. Boss Man (BMF Rules).

  • The Odds: Bean is the favorite, but Boss Man is reportedly bringing his nightstick… even though it’s “illegal.”

[ ADMIN_NEIL ] – Posted: June 12, 2000 @ 02:45 AM

Yo, the server is barely holding on! I just got the final audio leak from the Allstate Arena locker rooms. If you thought the May results were a fluke, the energy in Chicago is different. It’s not “Entertainment” anymore; it’s a funeral march.


[[ THE FOLEY INTERVIEW: “NOBODY HOME” ]]

Location: A dimly lit boiler room under the Allstate Arena. The Vibe: Mick Foley isn’t wearing the tie-dye or the white button-down. He’s sitting in a corner, rocking back and forth with a leather mask half-on. He looks… broken.

REPORTER: “Mick, people are worried. The Commission said you have three broken ribs. Why go back into the Cell with the Undertaker?”

MICK FOLEY: (Voice is a raspy, high-pitched whisper—total Mankind vibes)

“Worried? Hehe… they should be worried about the steel. The steel is cold, but it’s the only thing that feels real anymore. The Undertaker took my pride in May, but he forgot to take my soul. In Chicago, I’m not going in there to ‘wrestle.’ I’m going in there to see if I can still feel the pain. If I fall again… if the roof breaks… just make sure my kids know that Daddy was the only one brave enough to smile in the dark.”

REPORTER: “Is Cactus Jack coming to Chicago?”

MICK FOLEY: (Suddenly dead silent. He looks directly into the lens with a cold, sane stare.)

“Cactus Jack is dead. Mrs. Foley’s baby boy is all that’s left. And he’s bringing the tacks.”


[[ THE “MISSING MAVERICK” LEAK: KEN MASTERS ]]

We finally cornered Ken Masters as he was boarding a private jet in Vegas. He looked annoyed, mostly because we interrupted him talking to a group of swimsuit models.

REPORTER: “Ken! The ‘World Warriors’ say you’re hiding from the WWF’s ‘Mafia’ pressure. Are you ducking the Chicago card?”

KEN MASTERS: (Flips his hair, laughing)

“Ducking? Please. I’m ‘training,’ okay? It’s called ‘Active Recovery.’ I’m scouting the competition from the sky. Look, I saw what happened to Gonzalez. I saw Naz using those Lucha moves. It’s cute, but it’s sloppy. I’m not ‘hiding’—I’m waiting for the check to clear. Tell Vince if he wants a REAL American hero to save his Chicago gate, he knows my number. Until then, tell Ryu to keep punching water; I’ll keep punching champagne corks. See ya!”


[[ THE THREAD: CHICAGO PREDICTIONS ]]

User: Xx_NWO_For_Life_xX

Foley is GONE. 🧠 Did you hear that whisper? He’s officially lost it. The “Deadman” is gonna finish the job this time. Also, Ken is such a troll. 🤣 “Active Recovery” at a beach resort? He’s 100% ducking the Street Fighter investigation Chun-Li is doing.

  • Reply: Raw_Is_War_2000

    I don’t care if he’s crazy, Foley with thumbtacks is the most dangerous man in the world. And don’t sleep on Mad Dogg (Road Kill). If he takes the “Warrior” name from Ultimate Warrior, the 90s are officially over.

User: HadoukenKid

Ken is ducking because he knows the Shadaloo money is drying up. 🕵️‍♂️ Why else would he be “scouting from the sky”? He’s looking for an exit strategy. Meanwhile, Ryu is actually training. The “Eternal Wanderer” vs Undertaker is the match we NEED.

User: BeefSlammer69

FOLEY TALK TO MASK. MASK SAY HI. 🎭 I want to see the tacks!! If Taker lands on the tacks, he will scream like a girl. Butterbean is in Chicago too? BEAN VS TAKER IN THE CAGE!! 👊😤

*** [ WWF_UNDERGROUND_FORUM ] *** Topic: LEAKED: THE “OUTBACK SHREDDER” MANIFESTO (MAD DOGG’S EXTREME GEAR)

[ ADMIN_NEIL ] – Posted: June 13, 2000 @ 11:15 PM

Yo, the 56k is struggling to download these blueprints! I just got a fax (yeah, a real fax) from a contact in the Chicago Allstate Arena loading dock. Mad Dogg (f.k.a. Road Kill) isn’t just bringing a kendo stick or a chair. He’s bringing a custom-built nightmare from the Australian indie circuit.

The Commission is trying to ban it, but since it’s an “Extreme Rules” match, their hands are tied. Check the specs on this “Outback Shredder.”


[[ EQUIPMENT LEAK: THE OUTBACK SHREDDER ]]

  • Base: A 6-foot industrial-grade steel surfboard, reinforced with galvanized zinc.

  • The “Shredder” Element: The edges are serrated like a shark’s tooth. It looks like it was ripped off a combine harvester in the Outback.

  • The “Barbed Wire Wrap”: One side is wrapped in triple-strand rusted wire.

  • The Weight: Roughly 85 lbs. It’s a weapon, a shield, and a platform for top-rope splashes.

Mad Dogg’s Note to the Ring Crew:

“Tell the ‘Ultimate’ one that in the bush, we don’t pray to the heavens. We survive the dirt. This board is gonna carve a new name into his forehead. The 90s are over. The Mad Dogg is hungry.”


[[ THE ANALYST’S “SURVIVAL” FORECAST ]]

User: Xx_NWO_For_Life_xX

A SERRATED SURFBOARD?! 🏄‍♂️💀 Mad Dogg is literally trying to turn the Warrior into sashimi. This is ECW on steroids. If the Warrior doesn’t bring his ‘God Power’ fast, he’s getting shredded. I bet 10 bucks the match doesn’t last 10 minutes.

  • Reply: Raw_Is_War_2000

    Warrior has survived everything. He’s gonna press-slam that board out of the ring. But yeah, “Extreme Rules” favors the younger, crazier guy. Mad Dogg is 320 lbs of Australian beef. Warrior hasn’t felt impact like that since ’92.

User: HadoukenKid

Why is the WWF allowing this but banning “Street Fighter” techniques? 🕵️‍♂️ A serrated surfboard is “legal” but a Hadoken is “dangerous”? The Mafia logic is so broken. They want the carnage, but they want to control who does it.

User: BeefSlammer69

BOARD IS SHARP. MEAT IS SOFT. 🥩 Mad Dogg cuts the Warrior like a steak. I want to see the “Outback Shredder” vs the “Million Dollar Dream.” DiBiase vs a surfboard!! 👊😤


[[ BREAKING: BUTTERBEAN VS BOSS MAN UPDATE ]]

The Vegas results are coming in over the wire! Butterbean just finished his match with The Big Boss Man.

  • The Result: Bean by K.O. in the 2nd round.

  • The Drama: Boss Man tried to use the nightstick, but Bean ducked it and landed a body-shot that literally lifted Boss Man off his feet.

  • The Streak: Bean is now 3-0. Up next? Viscera on June 18th. The “Gauntlet” is real.

[ ADMIN_NEIL ] – Posted: June 14, 2000 @ 10:30 PM

Yo, my bad on the last update! The 56k must have glitched or I’m reading the wrong IRC logs. A few of you called me out—Butterbean hasn’t fought the Boss Man yet. The “King of the 4-Rounders” is still sitting at 1-0 in the WWF after that clinical destruction of Hongman Choi. The Vegas card was just the beginning. The “Gauntlet” hasn’t officially started, but the heat between the boxers and the “Law” is definitely bubbling over.


[[ UPDATED ODDS: THE BOXING INVASION (JUNE 11-18) ]]

Vegas just released the fresh numbers. Since the “Mafia” rumors are dead and the fights are confirmed, here is where the money is moving:

Matchup Status Current Odds
Butterbean vs. Big Boss Man JUNE 11 (Vegas) Bean (-210) / Boss Man (+170)
Prince Naseem vs. (TBD) Scouting Naz is 1-0, looking for a Lucha-hybrid rival.
Butterbean vs. Viscera JUNE 18 (Rumored) Bean (-105) / Viscera (-115)

Analyst Note: The smart money is on Bean against Boss Man, but the house is worried about Boss Man’s “Department of Corrections” tactics. If it’s BMF rules, anything goes.


[[ THE MAD DOGG / WARRIOR “HARDWARE” LIST ]]

Since the “Outback Shredder” blueprints leaked, the Ultimate Warrior’s camp has been silent.

  • Mad Dogg (Road Kill) has officially checked into his Chicago hotel.

  • The Gear: Along with the Shredder, he’s requested 4 rolls of heavy-duty industrial tape and a “rusted steel bucket.”

  • The Vibe: This isn’t a wrestling match. This is an Australian “identity theft” attempt.


[[ THE THREAD: CHICAGO CARNAGE ]]

User: Xx_NWO_For_Life_xX

My bad, Admin! I was wondering why I didn’t see Bean on the Heat highlights yet. 😅 If he’s 1-0, that means Choi was his only victim so far. Boss Man is gonna be a way different test. Boss Man actually knows how to take a punch.

  • Reply: Raw_Is_War_2000

    Doesn’t matter if he’s 1-0 or 10-0, Bean hits like a truck. 🚛 Boss Man is gonna get his badge dented. And thanks for the correction on the Warrior match—Mad Dogg is definitely the dark horse of June.

User: HadoukenKid

Ken Masters is still M.I.A. 🕵️‍♂️ I think he’s waiting to see if Naz survives June before he commits to a WWF contract. The “Street Fighters” are playing it smart. They let the boxers take the hits first to see if the “Mafia” plays fair.

User: BeefSlammer69

BEAN IS 1-0. ONE PUNCH. ONE WIN. 🥩 June 11 is Boss Man’s funeral. I’m buying the PPV just to see the “Outback Shredder.” Mad Dogg is my new hero. 🇦🇺💪

Yo! The Allstate Arena is basically a fortress tonight. I managed to get one last digital audio clip (thanks, Napster!) of Mad Dogg (the artist formerly known as Road Kill) as he was prepping that “Outback Shredder.” He’s not just here for a win; he’s here for a career.

Check the transcript of his final words before he heads into the “Extreme Rules” war with the legend.


[[ THE MAD DOGG INTERVIEW: “THE NAME IS MINE” ]]

Location: Loading Dock 4, Allstate Arena. The Vibe: He’s covered in Aussie-flag face paint, but it’s grittier than the Warrior’s. He’s sharpening the serrated edges of his steel surfboard with a literal rock.

REPORTER: “You’ve taken the name ‘Mad Dogg’ from a legend in the indies. Now you’re trying to take the name ‘Warrior’ from the Ultimate one. Why this obsession with names?”

MAD DOGG: (Growsls, looking into the camera with wild eyes)

“Obsession? No, mate. It’s evolution. In the Outback, if a dingo is old and slow, the young pup takes his territory. The ‘Ultimate’ one hasn’t been relevant since the 90s. He lives in the clouds, talking to spirits. I live in the dirt. I live in the ‘Extreme.’ Tonight, I’m not just beating him. I’m shredding the myth. When I’m done with him on this board, there won’t be an ‘Ultimate’ anything left. Just a Mad Dogg standing over a pile of tassels.”

REPORTER: “And the Shredder? Is that legal?”

MAD DOGG:

“It’s Chicago, mate. It’s ‘Extreme Rules.’ If it draws blood, it’s legal. Tell the little Warriors to cover their eyes. The ‘Outback Shredder’ is hungry.”


[[ THE THREAD: CHICAGO CARNAGE ]]

User: Xx_NWO_For_Life_xX

“I live in the dirt.” 🐕🇦🇺 Mad Dogg is terrifying. I’ve seen his ECW tapes—the guy doesn’t feel pain. If Warrior tries that “Spirit of the Heavens” stuff, Mad Dogg is just gonna hit him with a steel surfboard. I’m calling it: Mad Dogg wins via total destruction.

  • Reply: Raw_Is_War_2000

    People keep disrespecting the Warrior. He’s 90s-peak for a reason! He’s faced giants, monsters, and Hulk Hogan. A punk with a surfboard isn’t gonna stop the power of the Warrior. But yeah… that surfboard looks like it could cut through a tank. 💀

User: HadoukenKid

Ryu said a cage is a box for the afraid. Mad Dogg says the dirt is where the truth is. The “World Warriors” are all starting to sound the same. 🕵️‍♂️ Maybe they’re all training at the same secret camp? Either way, tonight’s “Extreme Rules” match is gonna make the Cell look like a playground.

User: BeefSlammer69

[[ ADMIN_NEIL’S FINAL LOOK AT THE CARD ]]

  • The Rock vs. Doink: Rock is 2-0, but if Doink uses “Clown Tactics,” it could be a mess.

  • Shane vs. Angle: Shane’s black eye is confirmed. He’s going into a shoot-fight with a broken face.

  • The Cell: Foley is reportedly refusing to wear a cup or extra padding. He wants to “feel the steel.”

THE EVOLUTION: FROM ROAD KILL TO MAD DOGG. plus HELL IN A CELL: THE ANALYST WEIGH-IN

For the uninitiated, the Australian indie scene operates on a “Highlander” philosophy: The Name can be taken. * The Backstory: After a brutal “Extreme Rules” encounter in ECW, the man formerly known as Road Kill defeated the previous title-holder of the “Mad Dogg” moniker.

  • The New Threat: Now known as Mad Dogg, this 320lb hybrid-style punk is bringing that same “Winner-Takes-The-Identity” energy to the WWF. He isn’t just trying to beat the Ultimate Warrior; he’s trying to become the only Warrior left in the industry.


[[ HELL IN A CELL: THE ANALYST WEIGH-IN ]]

Analyst Match: Taker vs. Foley II Match: Shane vs. Angle (UFC Rules)
Joe Rogan “Foley is fighting on pure adrenaline and ‘Cactus Jack’ spirit. But Taker in a cage? That’s his house. If Foley doesn’t end it in 10 mins, he’s leaving on a stretcher.” “Shane is crazy, but Angle is a machine. In a shoot-fight, Angle wins 100 times out of 100. Shane is looking for a ‘miracle strike’ that isn’t coming.”
Dave Meltzer “The Commission is gambling with Foley’s health. The first match was a 5-star war, but a rematch inside the Cell so soon? This is a ‘Mafia’ move to generate a buy-rate.” “This is Shane’s attempt to legitimize the McMahon name after Vince’s ‘respectable’ loss to Austin. He wants to prove ‘Genetic Power’ works in the Octagon.”
Bill Apter “Expect a slower, more psychological battle. Both men are too hurt for another 20-foot stunt. Taker wins via a Tombstone on the steel.” “Angle is too disciplined. He’ll take Shane down, control the hips, and force a submission within the first round. It’ll be clinical.”

[[ THE FAN POLLS: WHO EMERGES VICTORIOUS? ]]

Mad Dogg is a beast. 🐕 He doesn’t care about the Warrior’s “destiny.” He’s gonna use those Extreme Rules to turn the ring into a junkyard. And Shane vs Angle? I bet my 56k modem that Shane pulls out some “illegal” move to win. The McMahons don’t play fair in “UFC” rules.

  • Reply: Raw_Is_War_2000

    You’re dreaming. Angle is a 2-0 predator. He’s gonna snap Shane’s ankle before the pyro even clears. Also, I’m legit worried for Foley. If Taker throws him off that cage again, I’m turning off the TV. 📺😭

User: HadoukenKid

Why is no one talking about the USA Belt Finals? Savage vs DiBiase is gonna be the most “Peak 90s” match ever. Meanwhile, the real killers like Kimbo and Sapp are stuck in the mid-card. The “Mafia” is protecting the legends, I’m telling you. #SavageIsABye
