THE “FACE THE PAIN” INTRO—THE MID-CARD SURPRISES ARE HERE!

Posted on by Maria Cristina Aguillera

Yo! I just got a copy of the official PPV opening. The “Mafia” decided to ditch the colorful pyros for a minute and go full “Old School UFC.”

The screen goes black and white. The music starts—that gritty, distorted bass of Stemm’s “Face the Pain.” The lyrics hit (“Time to end this suffering / I need a minute to myself…”) and then we get the quick-cut close-ups of the fighters looking straight into the lens. No scripts. No catchphrases. Just pure, cold intent.

Here is the transcript of the “Gonzaga-Edit” Intro:

[[ THE SUPER-HEAVYWEIGHT TOURNAMENT ]]

(B&W footage of the big men wrapping their hands. The bass is thumping.)

  • SAGAT: > “Height… reach… power. People talk about giants. I have slain giants in the jungles of Thailand. The Big Show is just a larger target for my knee.”

  • THE BIG SHOW: > “I’m not a ‘wrestler.’ I’m a force of nature. Sagat thinks he’s fast? Let’s see how fast he is when I have both hands around his throat.”

  • YOKOZUNA: > “Tradition. Weight. Gravity. You can’t move what you can’t lift. Rikishi is family… but the belt is my only honor tonight.”

  • RIKISHI: > “I’ve spent my life in his shadow. Not anymore. Tonight, the heavy world learns that the ‘Stinkface’ is just the beginning of the end.”

  • VADER: > “It’s time. It’s Vader time. I don’t care about your records. I only care about the sound of your ribs cracking under 450 pounds.”

  • KANE: > “Fire doesn’t have a weight class. It just consumes. Vader is just more fuel for the furnace.”

  • BUTTERBEAN: > “I’ve got four ounces of leather and 400 pounds of muscle. If I touch your chin, the tournament is over. Simple as that.”

  • BIRDIE: > (Grinning through broken teeth) > “Boxers are so predictable. I’ve fought in the dirtiest alleys in London. Butterbean isn’t ready for a real street fight.”

[[ THE SURPRISE MID-CARD SHOWDOWNS ]]

(The music speeds up. The cuts get faster.)

TRIPLE H vs. X-PAC

  • X-PAC: > “We were brothers. DX was our world. But Hunter… you got greedy. You sold out for the suit and the power. Tonight, I’m not ‘X-Pac.’ I’m the guy who’s going to kick your teeth down your throat for forgetting where you came from.”

  • TRIPLE H: > (Smirking, adjusting his tie) > “Sean… you’re a great athlete. But you’re a footnote. I am the story. I am The Game. You’re fighting for ‘the brotherhood.’ I’m fighting for the throne. There’s a difference.”

“THE PROTOTYPE” (JOHN CENA) vs. KURT ANGLE

  • KURT ANGLE: > “I have an Olympic Gold Medal. I have ‘Intensity, Integrity, and Intelligence.’ Who are you? Some science experiment from California? You’re in over your head, kid.”

  • THE PROTOTYPE: > (Staring intensely, looking like a literal machine) > “I’m the next evolution. I was built for this. Kurt, you’re the past. I am the Prototype of the future. You have a medal? I have ‘Ruthless Aggression.’ Let’s see which one breaks first.”

BRET “THE HITMAN” HART vs. [REDACTED]

  • BRET HART: > (Lacing his boots slowly) > “I’ve been away. I’ve heard the talk. People say I’m ‘yesterday’s news.’ But I am still the Excellence of Execution. I don’t know who they’re putting in front of me tonight… but whoever it is, they better be ready to tap out. Because I’m not leaving Dallas without a win.”

[[ THE THREAD: FACE THE PAIN REACTION ]]

User: Xx_NWO_For_Life_xX

“RUTHLESS AGGRESSION”! 👊 That “Prototype” kid looked like he wanted to eat the camera! And X-Pac calling out Hunter for the DX betrayal? This is getting personal. The “Face the Pain” vibe makes it feel like someone is actually going to get hurt tonight.

  • Reply: Raw_Is_War_2000

    Bret Hart’s opponent being redacted is killing me! 😤 Who could it be? If it’s someone like Ken Shamrock or Dan Severn, we might see the most technical match in history. The “Mafia” knows how to keep us guessing!

User: HadoukenKid

Sagat vs. Big Show in B&W looked terrifying. 🐯 Sagat’s eyes are just cold. No blinking. Big Show looks like he’s about to commit a crime. This is way better than the old flashy promos!

User: BeefSlammer69

BUTTERBEAN VS BIRDIE!! 👊😤 “I’ve got four ounces of leather…” Bean is the man! He’s going to KO that punk in the first round. Also, did you see Cena? That dude is huge for a light heavyweight!

[[ ADMIN_NEIL NOTE: The “Prototype” vs Angle match is already being called a “potential 5-star classic” by the scouts. But all eyes are on that Redacted slot for Bret Hart. The rumor is it’s a “Multiverse Legend” making his debut! ]]

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

Posted on by Maria Cristina Aguillera

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! ]]

DALLAS DESTINY: THE TITAN CLASH CARD & THE “MONEY IN THE BANK” ANARCHY

Posted on by Chinito Henson

Yo! The heat in Texas isn’t just the weather—it’s the friction from the WWF “Mafia” finalizing the most dangerous card in the history of the sport. We’ve got monsters, we’ve got legends, and we’ve got a rumored new match concept that is going to turn the Undisputed World Title race into a literal free-for-all.

[[ THE FINALIZED “TITAN CLASH” BRACKET ]]

Dallas Arena – July 23, 2000

Quarter-Final A Quarter-Final B
The Big Show vs. SAGAT Rikishi vs. YOKOZUNA
Vader vs. KANE BUTTERBEAN vs. BIRDIE

The Stakes: The winner of this 8-man gauntlet doesn’t just get a trophy; they get the “Monster’s Contract”—a guaranteed title shot at SummerSlam and a custom gold-plated heavyweight belt.

[[ RUMOR: THE “MONEY IN THE BANK” LADDER MATCH ]]

Vince and the board are reportedly tired of “ordered” rankings. They want chaos. Enter the Money in the Bank.

  • The Mechanics: 6 to 8 men. One briefcase suspended 20 feet above the ring. No pinfalls, no submissions. The first man to climb the ladder and pull down the case wins a contract for a World Title Match anytime, anywhere.

  • The Landscape: This changes everything. If The Rock or Kimbo Slice is exhausted after a 30-minute war, the MITB winner can “cash in” while they’re bleeding on the mat. The Undisputed Belt is no longer safe behind a schedule.

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

The “Excellence of Execution” is finally coming out of hiding. After his devastating loss to Yokozuna back on March 26th—his only WWF sanctioned fight this year—Bret has been MIA.

  • The Mission: Bret hasn’t touched the new era. No match against Goldberg, no clash with The Rock, and zero contact with Stone Cold.

  • The July Rumor: Bret is slated for a “Technical Showcase” mid-card match against Kurt Angle. Angle has been calling out the Hart family for weeks, and Bret reportedly wants to prove that “Olympic Gold” doesn’t mean anything in a “Pink and Black” world.

[[ JULY MID-CARD & MINOR FIGHTS ]]

  1. Triple H vs. X-Pac: (The “Best Friend” Grudge Match). Hunter is looking to vent his ranking frustrations on his Kliq brother.

  2. Agatom vs. Shao Ling: (Cruiserweight Clash). Fresh off his Japan win, the Filipino High Flyer faces the “Ninja” specialist in a battle for the #7 spot.

  3. The Hurricane vs. Golimar: (The Masked Mystery). Can the superhero handle the bizarre style of the man who beat Agatom?

  4. Scott Hall vs. Ted DiBiase: (The “Money” Match). DiBiase wants Hall’s spot in the Heavyweight Top 5. Hall just wants a paycheck and a fight.

[[ THE ANALYST’S CORNER ]]

Joe Rogan: “A ladder match for a title shot? That’s high-level madness! 🪜 If you put someone like RVD or Shane McMahon in that MITB match, they’re going to do something that’ll make us all lose our minds. And Bret Hart vs. Kurt Angle? That’s 100% pure ‘shoot’ wrestling. I’m vibrating just thinking about it!”

Jim Lampley: “BANG! The Titan Clash is a heavyweight collision, but the Money in the Bank is a heart attack waiting to happen! And watch out for Bret Hart—he’s a wounded animal. A loss to Yoko in March hasn’t softened him; it’s made him more surgical.”

[[ THE THREAD: DALLAS OR DEATH ]]

User: Xx_NWO_For_Life_xX

MONEY IN THE BANK!! 💼 That briefcase is going to cause a riot. Imagine Triple H winning it and cashing in on a bloody Stone Cold. The WWF would burn down!

  • Reply: Raw_Is_War_2000

    Sagat vs Big Show is still the match I’m watching. 🐯 If Sagat wins the whole Titan Clash, he’s going to be #1 PFP by August. No doubt.

User: HadoukenKid

Agatom vs Shao Ling is going to be like a live-action anime. 🥋 I hope Agatom brings some of that Japan momentum. And Bret Hart… man, he needs to beat Angle or his legacy in the WWF is toast.

User: BeefSlammer69

BIRDIE VS BUTTERBEAN!! 👊😤 Chains vs Hooks! If Birdie uses that chain on Bean, the WWF better have the paramedics ready. July is the heaviest month of the year!

[[ ADMIN_NEIL NOTE: I’m hearing that the MITB briefcase is currently being held in a high-security vault in Stamford. They aren’t even telling the wrestlers who is in the match yet! ]]

LEAKED: THE BUTTERBEAN “DUCKING” SCANDAL & THE BACKSTAGE BRAWL

Posted on by Chinito Henson

Yo! I just got off the phone with a source who was in the locker room during the June 25th taping. If you think the drama is only in the ring, you’re dead wrong. The “Butterbean Blitz” has officially fractured the WWF locker room. While Bean is out here taking on legends like Benny the Jet and Gen, the active roster is playing a game of “hide and seek.”

Here is the leaked dirt on why June was so chaotic and what the heavy hitters are saying about Bean’s future.

[[ THE LEAKED RUMOR: THE “LOCKER ROOM LOCKOUT” ]]

Word is that in early June, a group of prominent WWF grapplers (rumored to be led by Hardcore Holly and Steve Blackman) held an informal meeting.

  • The Beef: They’re furious that the “Mafia” is bringing in “outsiders” and paying them top dollar to fight retired legends while the active roster sits in the back.

  • The Confrontation: After the June 1st match was cancelled, Bean allegedly walked into the main locker room and threw a stack of blank contracts on the table. He told them: “You guys call yourselves ‘Lethal Weapons’ and ‘Hardcore,’ but you’re all terrified of a 400-pounder with a hook. If you won’t sign, stay in the back and keep the seats warm for the real fighters.”

  • The Result: Total silence. Nobody picked up a pen. That’s why the “Mafia” had to call in the legends (Benny Joe and Gen) just to keep the June schedule alive.

[[ THE ANALYST ROUNDTABLE: “IS BEAN THE REAL DEAL?” ]]

Analyst The “Shoot” Reaction
Joe Rogan “Look, people are hating because he’s fighting older guys, but Bean is showing real IQ. Lifting Benny the Jet? That’s wrestling! He’s proving he’s not just a ‘Brawl for All’ fluke. It’s tight!”
Jim Lampley “BANG! It’s a collision of worlds! Bean is a wrecking ball, but the weekly grind is a death trap. If he signs that July contract, he’s a braver man than anyone in that locker room.”
Quinito Henson “Bean has the ‘Power of the Punch,’ but he’s smart to use his weight. He’s taking the ‘Sporting Chance’ by adapting his style. He’s a heavyweight chameleon!”
Oscar De La Hoya “It’s a circus. He’s wrestling grandpas for a paycheck. If he wants respect, he needs to get back in a boxing ring with a prime contender. This is making the sport look like a joke.”
Bob Arum “The WWF is running him into the ground. A match every week? It’s a death wish. Bean hasn’t signed that extension yet because he knows his value. He’s holding all the cards.”

[[ THE CONTRACT CRISIS: JULY PROJECTIONS ]]

Will he sign the “1 Match Per Week” Contract?

My sources say Bean is hesitant. He’s proven he can beat the legends, but he knows the toll is mounting. He’s reportedly demanding a “Quality Clause”—meaning he only signs if the “Mafia” can guarantee him a younger, top-tier opponent who won’t “duck” him.

Future Possible Opponents:

  1. Sagat: The match the underground is screaming for. Muay Thai vs. Boxing.

  2. The Big Show: The ultimate test of Bean’s new wrestling strength.

  3. Birdie: If the British brawler gets through customs, his “Chain” style vs. Bean’s power is a guaranteed hospital trip for someone.

[[ THE THREAD: THE BEAN DEBATE ]]

User: Xx_NWO_For_Life_xX

BEAN CALLING OUT THE ROSTER!! 👊 I love it. Holly and Blackman acting like they’re tough until a real KO artist walks in. Bean is the baddest man in the building right now.

  • Reply: Raw_Is_War_2000

    Benny Joe actually hurt him, though! 🦵 If a 47-year-old can rattle Bean’s cage, imagine what a prime Sagat would do. Bean is smart to hold out on that contract. He needs a break before Dallas.

User: HadoukenKid

De La Hoya is just mad Bean is more popular than half the boxing roster. 🕶️ But Arum is right—the weekly grind is dangerous. Bean should wait for SummerSlam and pick one big “Superfight.”

User: BeefSlammer69

BEAN VS BIG SHOW!! 💥 I want to see Bean try to lift 500 lbs of giant. If he pulls that off, give him the World Title immediately! 👊😤

[[ ADMIN_NEIL NOTE: I’m hearing that Birdie is officially cleared for Dallas. If Bean signs that July contract, the “Weekly War” is going to get a whole lot bloodier. ]]

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

Posted on by Chinito Henson

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! ]]

JUNE 15 SHOCKER: THE CLOWN IS OUT, THE ANVIL IS IN!

Posted on by Chinito Henson

Yo! I just got off the phone with my contact near the Allstate Arena, and the June 15th card has been flipped upside down. If you were looking forward to seeing The Rock lay the smackdown on a clown, you’re going to have to wait.

The Rock vs. Doink is OFFICIALLY CANCELLED.

[[ THE REASON: THE “JOY BUZZER” INCIDENT ]]

Reports from backstage say that during a pre-show “prank” gone wrong, Doink attempted to use a modified, high-voltage joy buzzer on a WWF production assistant. The “Mafia” security (led by the Big Boss Man) didn’t find it funny. Doink was forcibly removed from the building for “endangering staff,” leaving The Rock without an opponent just hours before bell time.

[[ THE REPLACEMENT: JIM “THE ANVIL” NEIDHART ]]

Vince didn’t scramble for a local jobber. Instead, he reached into the “Hart Foundation” archives. Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart has officially signed his new WWF contract and has been waiting in the wings for weeks. With Doink out, The Anvil is finally making his 2000 debut. This isn’t a comedy match anymore—it’s a powerhouse collision.

[[ TALE OF THE TAPE: THE POWERHOUSE CLASH ]]

[[ THE EXPERTS WEIGH IN ]]

JOE ROGAN (UFC/MMA Analyst)

“This is actually a much better fight for The Rock’s development. Doink was a gimmick; Neidhart is a stone-cold killer from the Hart Dungeon. 🇨🇦 He has that ‘Old School’ strength that you can’t teach. If Neidhart gets those arms around Rock for a bearhug, we’re going to see if the ‘Brahma Bull’ can actually handle real, world-class pressure. This is a massive test for the People’s Champion.”

JIM LAMPLEY (HBO Boxing)

“BANG! What a turn of events! The clown is sent packing and in walks a man who throws anvils for fun! Neidhart brings a level of veteran savvy that The Rock hasn’t faced since Vader. Can Rock’s speed overcome the sheer density of The Anvil? It’s a classic power-vs-charisma matchup that has Chicago shaking before the first bell!”

[[ THE THREAD: NEIDHART’S RETURN ]]

User: Xx_NWO_For_Life_xX

THE ANVIL IS BACK!! 👊 I grew up watching the Hart Foundation. Seeing him go up against The Rock is a dream match I never expected in 2000. Neidhart is gonna show Rock what “Stiff” really means.

  • Reply: Raw_Is_War_2000

    I’m glad the clown is gone. 🤡 Wrestling needs more guys like Neidhart. But let’s be real—The Rock is too fast. He’s gonna hit that People’s Elbow and the arena is going to explode. The Anvil is a legend, but Rock is the future.

User: HadoukenKid

The Rock vs a Hart Dungeon graduate? 🏰 This is going to be a technical clinic. I bet Bret Hart is watching this from home, smiling. If Neidhart wins, does he join the “WWF Mafia”?

User: BeefSlammer69

ANVIL VS ROCK!! 💥 I want to see a double clothesline that levels the ring! I’m putting my money on Neidhart for the upset. You don’t mess with the pink and black attack! 👊😤

[[ ADMIN_NEIL NOTE: I’m hearing that Neidhart’s contract has a “Family Clause.” If he wins tonight, could we see more of the Hart family returning to take on the nWo? ]]

*** [ WWF_UNDERGROUND_FORUM ] *** Topic: LEAKED: THE ROCK’S BACKSTAGE RAGE & THE “ANVIL” AMBUSH

[ ADMIN_NEIL ] – Posted: June 15, 2000 @ 08:30 PM

Yo! The Allstate Arena is in a state of absolute chaos. I just got a grainy handheld clip from a contact in the production truck. If you thought The Rock was going to be happy about a “Day Off” because the Clown got fired, you don’t know the Brahma Bull.

[[ THE LEAKED FOOTAGE: BACKSTAGE AT CHICAGO ]]

The video starts with The Rock pacing outside Vince McMahon’s office. He’s already in his trunks, the Brahma Bull tattoo glistening under the hallway lights. He looks less like an entertainer and more like a predator whose meal just got taken away.

The Rock (to a trembling Producer):

“So let The Rock get this straight… the ‘Mafia’ sends a clown to do a man’s job, the clown decides to play with electricity, and now The Rock is supposed to just go home? You think The Rock flew to Chicago to sit in a locker room and eat a ham sandwich? You think the millions—and millions—of the Rock’s fans paid their hard-earned money to see a ‘Card Subject to Change’ sign?!”

Just then, Jim “The Anvil” Neidhart walks into the frame. He’s wearing the classic pink and black, laughing that signature maniacal laugh. He gets right in Rock’s face, the goatee practically twitching with intensity.

The Anvil:

“Hahahaha! Lay smackdown on a clown, Rock? Why don’t you try to move an ANVIL?! I’ve been sitting in the basement of the Hart Dungeon waiting for a contract that meant something. Vince gave me the pen, and I’m giving you the beating! Welcome back to the real world, kid!”

The Rock’s Reaction: Rock doesn’t say a word. He just slowly removes his sunglasses, drops them into the hands of the terrified producer, and gives Neidhart the People’s Eyebrow. The tension was so thick you could cut it with a folding chair. The clip ends with Rock walking toward the curtain, shouting, “Tell the timekeeper to get ready… because The Rock is about to drop an Anvil on Chicago!”

[[ THE EXPERTS WEIGH IN ]]

JOE ROGAN (UFC/MMA Analyst)

“This is the most dangerous ‘Pivot’ I’ve ever seen. The Rock was prepared for a circus; now he’s in a shark tank. Neidhart has that Stu Hart ‘Catch’ wrestling background. If he gets a hold of Rock’s wrist, he can snap it in four places before the ref even counts to one. This isn’t about the ‘People’s Elbow’ anymore; this is about survival.”

JIM LAMPLEY (HBO Boxing)

“BANG! From the ridiculous to the sublime! We go from a prankster in facepaint to a two-time Tag Team Champion with the strength of a freight train. The Rock has momentum from the Vader and Hurricane wins, but Neidhart is a fresh, angry veteran with everything to prove. This is the definition of a ‘Trap Match’!”

[[ THE THREAD: THE CHICAGO STAMPEDE ]]

User: Xx_NWO_For_Life_xX

THE ANVIL IN 2000!! 👊 Seeing that backstage footage gave me chills. Rock looked like he wanted to rip Neidhart’s head off. This is way better than a Doink match. Neidhart is gonna test that “People’s Champ” hype for real.

  • Reply: Raw_Is_War_2000

    Did you see Rock’s face? 🤨 He didn’t even blink when Neidhart started laughing. After what he did to Vader and that massive People’s Elbow on The Hurricane, I think Rock is untouchable right now. Anvil is gonna get Rock Bottomed into the 300 level.

User: HadoukenKid

The Hurricane was just a warm-up. The Anvil is the final boss of the powerhouses. If Rock wins this, he’s definitely the #1 contender for the World Title. But man, Neidhart looks like he’s in the best shape of his life.

User: BeefSlammer69

CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL VS ROCK BOTTOM!! 💥 I’m in the building right now and the crowd is losing it. Nobody misses the clown. Give us the Harts! Give us the Bulls! 👊😤

[[ ADMIN_NEIL NOTE: I’m standing by for the finish. Word is the “Mafia” is watching this match very closely to see if Rock is ready for the Main Event at SummerSlam. ]]

Posted on by Chinito Henson

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.

[[ 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)

Posted on by Maria Cristina Aguillera

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.

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.

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

Posted on by Maria Cristina Aguillera

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? ]]

Data taken from the https://www.google.com/search?q=WWF.com “Instant Vote” and IRC #WWF_LEAKS channel.

1. The Ultimate Warrior vs. Mad Dogg (Extreme Rules)

  • Ultimate Warrior: 62% (“The power of the Heavens is too much!”)

  • Mad Dogg: 38% (“The Amish Punk is too wild for an old legend.”)

2. Ken Shamrock vs. Royce Gracie (Non-Title Rematch)

  • Ken Shamrock: 51% (“The World’s Most Dangerous Man has the UFC rage.”)

  • Royce Gracie: 49% (“Jiu-Jitsu always finds a way. The Gi is a weapon.”)

3. The Undertaker vs. Mick Foley (Hell in a Cell)

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

Yo, the Vegas dust hasn’t even settled and Chicago is already looking like a bloodbath. If you thought May was wild, June is about to break the internet (and my server). I’ve got the latest leaks on Shane’s “UFC” prep, the lowdown on this “Road Kill” guy, and the fallout from Naz’s win.

[[ LEAKED: SHANE MCMAHON TRAINING FOOTAGE ]]

I just got a 5MB .AVI clip of Shane training at a “secret location” (looks like a warehouse in Greenwich).

  • The Footage: Shane isn’t just jumping off stuff. He’s drilling double-leg takedowns and sprawl-and-brawl defense with actual shooters. He’s leaner, faster, and looks obsessed.

  • The Rumor: Word is he’s hired a “Gray-Market” catch wrestler to help him survive Kurt Angle. He knows he can’t out-wrestle an Olympian, so he’s training for “Terminal Impact”—one big, high-risk move to end it.

[[ WHO IS ROAD KILL? ]]

For everyone asking about the guy fighting the Ultimate Warrior:

  • The Profile: Road Kill isn’t just some “Australian punk.” He’s a 320lb Amish-themed brawler trained by Tazz and Perry Saturn at the House of Hardcore.

  • The Style: He’s a “Hardcore Hybrid”—he can do top-rope splashes (the “Amish Splash”) but has the raw power of a tractor.

  • The Beef: He claims the “Ultimate Warrior” name belongs to the fans, not a “90s relic.” This isn’t a wrestling match; it’s a collision.

[[ PRINCE NASEEM HITS BACK AT THE ROCK ]]

After The Rock called the boxers “cute” and told them to stop “playing crossover,” Naz went off on a UK radio show:

“The Rock talks about ‘Electrifying’? Tell him to come to the ring without his scriptwriters and see how electrifying a left hook to the liver feels. He’s fighting clowns and pies while I’m pinning 7-foot giants. He’s a movie star; I’m a fighter. If he wants to see ‘The People’s Champion,’ he can look at my reflection in his sunglasses.”

[[ STONE COLD RECOVERY STATUS ]]

Austin is currently “dark.” No interviews, no sightings.

  • The Intel: His neck took a massive hit during the McMahon match (that first Stunner counter was brutal). He’s reportedly in a private facility in Texas. Some say he’s “compromised,” but others say he’s just waiting for the SummerSlam brackets to finalize so he can hunt whoever is left standing.

[[ THE BUTTERBEAN GAUNTLET ]]

After destroying Choi, the “King of the 4-Rounders” is fighting every week. Here is the rumored schedule:

  • June 11: vs. The Big Boss Man (BMF Rules – The ultimate “Wall vs. Wall” fight)

  • June 18: vs. Viscera (Super-Heavyweight Clash)

  • June 25: vs. Mark Henry (The “World’s Strongest Man” vs. The “World’s Hardest Puncher”)

Road Kill is gonna eat the Warrior for breakfast. 🍗 Have you seen him in ECW? He’s a tank. Warrior hasn’t fought a guy like that since… ever. Also, Naz 1-0 in the WWF is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen. The “Mafia” must be furious that their giant got pinned by a featherweight. 🤣

    STFU. Warrior is a force of nature. Road Kill is just a guy in overalls. 🚜 And Naz got lucky. If Gonzalez didn’t gape at him like a statue, Naz would be in a body cast. Boxing is still a joke.

Shane fighting Angle under UFC rules is suicide. 💀 I don’t care how many “secret shooters” he trains with. Angle is a machine. If this isn’t a “work,” Shane is leaving the Allstate Arena in an ambulance.

Butterbean vs Boss Man!! Meat fight!! 🥩 Bean punches him into the 90s. Boss Man is too slow. Bean is 3-0 by next week. 👊😤
