This week on Tales from the Attitude Era, former WWF writer Tommy Blacha and co-host Rob Pasbani review one of the greatest pay-per-views of the year: Judgment Day 2000! The main event is a historic 60-Minute Iron Man Match between The Rock and Triple H for the WWF Championship, with the returning Shawn Michaels as the special guest referee.

The night ends in absolute chaos with the shock return of The Undertaker, debuting his new "American Badass" persona! We break down the controversial finish that saw Triple H regain the title despite being decimated by the Deadman.

We also dive into:

- Chris Benoit vs. Chris Jericho in a brutal Submission Match for the Intercontinental Title.

- Eddie Guerrero & Chyna taking on Dean Malenko & Perry Saturn for the European Championship.

- Edge, Christian and Kurt Angle in an awesome opener against Too Cool and Rikishi.

- Shane McMahon facing The Big Show in a Falls Count Anywhere match that features a massive cinder block spot.

- Gerald Brisco's ongoing journey as Hardcore Champion

Join us as we break down a near-perfect pay-per-view that featured incredible wrestling, massive returns, and peak Attitude Era storytelling.
