PrintOn December 11, 2000, just one day after WWF Armageddon, Vince McMahon orders commissioner Mick Foley to "Get his fat ass out to the ring" so that he can force him to resign.
Now, I understand the day after a major pay-per-view is going to be light on content, but this 20-minute segment is so long and boring, it makes today's contract signing look like a TLC match.
It's almost like they brought Stone Cold Steve Austin out at the end for a round of stunners just because they had no idea how to wrap this thing up.
Oh, wait...

So as bad as it is..
You decide to try to waste another 20 minutes of people’s lives. I bet you actually watched it all too.. uh? I don’t get why you would set it up as something horrid & then want people to watch it.. or read the article.. sounds like you’ve been booking Raw.

That it happened
on this day! In history! is all the justification needed.
Also, as much as I love the Attitude Era, I think a lot of us look back on it with rose colored (Brother Love style) glasses and forget that for all of great moments there was a lot of mediocre and tasteless filler.
Who wants to save the world? That's what misers do...

By 2000, I think it was winding down, the Attitude Era
"Blinding ignorance does mislead us. O! Wretched mortals, open your eyes!" Gil Hodges IS a Hall of Famer.

stupid post.
Also, notice how the crowd, for the most part, is actually pretty into it…So obviously wasnt that boring at the time. Whether or not you find it boring a decade later carries little to no significance. Do you even like wrestling? You clearly don’t understand it.
Right
I don’t understand wrestling — but you base the success and failure of every angle/spot/program on how the live crowd reacts. Makes perfect sense.
It is not enough to succeed. Others must fail.

There are many factors that signify the success and failure of an angle/spot/program…Of those, the live crowd reaction is by FAR the most important. Your comment only proves my original point. This is nothing personal, I enjoy this site and I want it to be the best it can be. But, you’re not helping that process.
