📼 Sports Desk Flashback: April 24, 2000 RAW Promo

(The Rock, Big Show, Triple H)

Ed: “Before we wrap up, let’s revisit a moment from April 24, 2000 — a promo that defined an era.”

Gordon: “It was loud, chaotic, and full of attitude — the kind of segment that only that era could produce.”

What Happened?

The Rock confronted Big Show and Triple H during the height of the McMahon‑Helmsley Regime storyline.
Big Show bragged about eliminating The Rock at the Royal Rumble, insisting Rock’s feet hit the floor first.
Rock fired back with trademark charisma, mocking Show’s claims and Triple H’s arrogance.
Triple H tried to assert dominance, but the crowd was firmly behind Rock.
The segment ended with escalating tension that set up future matches and storyline twists.

Why It Matters

It showcased three major personalities at their peak — Rock’s electricity, Show’s imposing presence, and Triple H’s smug authority — all colliding in a promo that helped define the Attitude Era’s chaotic energy.

PROMO

Credit: cagematch.net

Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley: “Last night, at the Royal Rumble…Triple H ONCE AGAIN proved to the world that he is in fact The Game when he defeated Cactus Jack at his own game – a brutal, bloody, barbaric Street Fight. The World Wrestling Federation – [“Slut!”] – the World Wrestling Federation championship should never have been defended in such a… demeaning matter, but Triple H, being the true fighting champion that he is sunk to Cactus Jack’s lowest low, and rose to the occasion, to remain…my champion – YOUR Champion – The Game, Triple H!”

Triple H: “Cactus Jack… I’m not out here to put you over… not by a long shot… but pal, you gotta be the most sadistic freak I’ve ever stepped into the ring with in my life. You brought it all to Madison Square Gadren – barbed wire, sharp metallic objects – every trick you had, you brought it to the Royal Rumble – and while I might have left a lot of things in Madison Square Garden – I left a piece of my leg, I left pints of my blood all over New York City…the one thing that I did NOT leave was the World Wrestling Federation championship – because as sadistic as you are, I was that much more sadistic; as bad as you are, I was that much badder!

Cactus Jack, last night, Madison Square Garden, the Royal Rumble… I went to a level I never went to in my life… and I liked it. And I stayed the man, I stayed The Game, I stayed the World Wrestling Federation champion. But I couldn’t help but notice last night – as I rolled out of the hospital in New York City – I couldn’t help but notice Cactus Jack rolling INTO the hospital in New York City, and it looked like you were gonna be there a whole hell of a lot longer than I was… so I wouldn’t expect to see Cactus Jack here tonight. Now… Anaheim, California – April the 2nd – ten weeks from now – Wrestle.. mania 2000! [“Rocky! Rocky!”]

Yeah, the Rock versus The Game. One on one – for the greatest prize in the World Wrestling Federation that there is. Rock, you’ve got ten weeks. Get your ass in the best possible shape you can be in, because I will be at the top of my game, and we will battle, and I WILL leave Anaheim…the man…”

[The Big Show interrupts.]

The Big Show: “You know, you’ve never given me a rematch. And you know why? Because if I were you, I wouldn’t want to face me again either. ‘Cause we all know, and you know, I don’t like you. And we ALL know what happens to people I don’t like. Now I’m out here because a crime has been committed. Last night at the Royal Rumble, I was ROBBED. Listen… I’m a nice guy. I am a nice guy – and I DON’T LIE. But last night at the Royal Rumble, yes, I did go over the top when I had Rocky on my shoulders, and everybody sittin’ in Madison Square Garden last night, and all the fans watching on pay-per-view… SAW ROCKY’S FEET HIT THE GROUND FIRST.

So in all actuality, I did win the Royal Rumble… but I was robbed. So what I’ve come out here, is I need to ask you – I need a favour. Yeah, I need a favour from you. If I can prove to you and to Stephanie and to all these fans beyond the shadow of a doubt, pure proof on film that Rocky’s feet did hit the mat first, you grant me a one-on-one match with the Rock – the People’s Champion. And the winner gets to go on to WrestleMania and face you, and there, I’ll get my rematch.”

Triple H: “Show me the proof and it’s yours.”

[The Rock interrupts.]

The Rock: “Finally, the Rock has come back to Philadelphia! Triple H, the Rock says this – seeing as he just won the Royal Rumble, it officially makes your days as a WWF Champion – numbered. Translation, at WrestleMania, the Rock is just gon’ kick your monkey ass. [“Rocky! Rocky!”]

Now, onto you. Seven feet, five hundred pounds of whinin’ bitchin’ moanin’ [jammernd] ‘Oh the Rock’s feet touched the ground first – well the Rock says it doesn’t MATTER if the Rock’s feet touched the ground first! The Rock says this, it doesn’t matter if the Rock’s feet touched the ground, it doesn’t matter where the Rock’s feet touched, the ground, the mat, or straight up your big fat candyass! This ain’t the NFL – there is no instant replay – the only thing that matters RIGHT NOW is the Rock has won the Royal Rumble, the Rock is going to WrestleMania, and the Rock stands before you, and you, and even you – the People’s Champion.”

Triple H: “You know, Show, seems that uh, you and I seem to have a little common problem. To be that jackass up there with the big ego – seems to be a common thorn in our sides. So I’ll tell ya what – tonight – you and I – we’re gonna team up – and we’re gonna get in the ring… against the Rock – and a partner of your choosing. That is, if – you can go in the back and find one of those – what do you call ’em, Rock, jabronies? – that you like to put down so much. If you can get one of those jabronies to pal up with you, be your friend, and tag with you, then you got yourself a deal. If not, if one of those jabronies WON’T tag with you – then you and I – we’re gonna have ourselves a little handicap match with the Rock.”

The Rock: “Well, the Rock says this – if there is someone in the back who wants to team with the Rock, then that’s fine… the Rock doesn’t need it, the Rock doesn’t want it. The Rock says this, against you and you, two on one against the Great One means this, is one way or the other, come hell or high water, bet your candyasses you will smell what the Rock is cookin’.”

Ed: “So from Collision’s tournament fights to Dynamite’s title defenses, AEW delivered another packed week as All In approaches.”

🕰️ Best Promos — CM Punk’s June 27, 2011 Pipe Bomb

⭐ The Promo That Shook WWE to Its Core

On June 27, 2011, CM Punk sat cross‑legged on the RAW stage and delivered the now‑legendary Pipe Bomb, tearing into WWE’s hierarchy, calling out Cena, Vince, Triple H, The Rock, and teasing he might leave with the WWE Championship for Ring of Honor or New Japan.

⭐ Why It Mattered

Punk blurred fiction and reality, breaking WWE’s “fourth wall.”
He voiced frustrations fans already believed — favoritism, creative ceilings, corporate polish.
His mic was cut mid‑promo, giving the moment a raw, dangerous finish.
It transformed Money in the Bank 2011 into a referendum on WWE’s identity.
It launched Punk into a 434‑day title reign and cemented him as a generational promo.

CM Punk: “John Cena, while you lay there, hopefully as uncomfortable as you possibly can be, I want you to listen to me. I want you to digest this, because before I leave in three weeks with your WWE Championship, I have a lot of things I wanna get off my chest.

I don’t hate you, John. I don’t even dislike you. I do like you, I like you a hell of a lot more than I like most people in the back. I hate this idea that you’re the best – because you’re not. I’m the best. I’m the best in the world. There’s one thing you’re better at than I am and that’s kissing Vince McMahon’s ass. You’re as good at kissing Vince’s ass as Hulk Hogan was. I don’t know if you’re as good as Dwayne, though. He’s a pretty good ass-kisser. Always was and still is. Oops – I’m breaking the fourth wall. [Er winkt in die Kamera.] I am the best wrestler in the world. I’ve been the best ever since day one when I walked into this company. And I’ve been vilified and hated since that day because Paul Heyman saw something in me that nobody else wanted to admit. Yeah that’s right, I’m a Paul Heyman guy. You know who else was a Paul Heyman guy? Brock Lesnar. And he split, just like I’m splittin’, but the biggest difference between me and Brock is that I’m going to leave with the WWE Championship.

I’ve grabbed so many of Vincent K. McMahon’s imaginary brass rings that it’s finally dawned on me that they’re just that. They’re completely imaginary. The only thing that’s real is me. And the fact that day in and day out, for almost six years, I’ve proved to everybody in the world that I am the best on this microphone, in that ring, even on commentary. Nobody can touch me. And yet, no matter how many times I prove it, I’m not on your lovely little collectors’ cups, I’m not on the cover of the program, I’m barely promoted, I don’t get to be in movies, I’m certainly not on any crappy show on the USA Network, I’m not on the poster of WrestleMania, I’m not on the signature that’s produced at the start of the show. I’m not on Conan O’Brien, I’m not on Jimmy Fallon, but the fact of the matter is I should be. And trust me, this isn’t sour grapes, but the fact that “Dwayne” is in the main event of WrestleMania next year and I’m not, makes me sick!

Oh hey, let me get something straight. Those of you who are cheering me right now – you are just as big a part of me leaving as anything else, because you’re the ones that are sipping out of those collector cups right now, you’re the ones that buy those programs that my face isn’t on the cover of, and then at five in the morning at the airport, you try to shove it in my face so that you can get an autograph and sell it on eBay, because you’re too lazy to get a real job.

I’m leaving with the WWE championship on July 17 and hell, who knows, maybe I’ll go defend it in New Japan Pro Wrestling. Maybe I’ll go back to Ring Of Honor. [Punk winkt nochmal in die Kamera] Hey, Colt Cabana, how you doing? The reason I’m leaving is you people because after I’m gone you’re still going to pour money into this company – I’m just a spoke on the wheel – the wheel’s gonna keep turning and I understand that. But Vince McMahon’s gonna make money despite himself. He’s a millionaire who should be a billionaire. You know why he’s not a billionaire? It’s because he surrounds himself with glad-handing nonsensical douche bag yes-men like John Laurinaitis, who’s gonna tell him everything that he wants to hear. And I’d like to think that maybe this company will be better after Vince McMahon is dead, but the fact is, it’s gonna be taken over by his idiotic daughter and his doofus son-in-law and the rest of his stupid family.

Let me tell you a personal story about Vince McMahon. You know we do this whole bully campaign–“
Punk’s microphone is cut off and he yells, “I’ve been silenced!”

Ed: “That promo hit like a lightning bolt — sudden, shocking, and unforgettable!”

Gordon: “A most transformative moment — redefining the boundaries of wrestling discourse.”

🎙️ Desk Outro

Ed: “From ballpark brawls to Collision chaos and a historic look back at Punk’s Pipe Bomb, this week proved AEW is firing on every cylinder!”

Gordon: “Indeed. A most comprehensive chronicle — champions crowned, rivalries sharpened, and history echoing into the present.”

“They (wXw) wrote the following under one of their Instagram posts, where a fan asked if their True Colors event would air on TrillerTV.

“We would very much like to stream on Triller. Unfortunately they haven’t paid us for anything we streamed there since October and haven’t responded to any emails since they laid off our person in charge. We are unable to stream on a service that doesn’t pay its contributors.”

Ed: “wXw keeps that European pressure‑cooker vibe—small buildings, loud fans, and matches that feel like they matter even when there’s no belt on the line.”

Ed: “Double or Nothing is AEW’s big early‑summer swing—when they load the bases with title matches and then swing for the fences with one or two absolutely wild stipulations.”

Gordon: “Quite. It serves as both culmination and catalyst—resolving certain rivalries while simultaneously seeding the next phase, particularly with regard to international collaborations.”

Desk outro

Ed: “So if you zoom out on this past week, here’s the picture: ROH just ran a marathon taping where every champion had to prove their mettle; Stardom had a BIG show; and AEW’s Double or Nothing was the next big explosion on the calendar.”

Gordon: “A most intricate tapestry, to be sure. As more time passes, the finer details will sharpen—but the trajectories are already unmistakable.”

Aleister Black to AEW?: Credit: ringsidenews.com “No.” That was the response from AEW Talent Coordinator Shawn Dean.
David Benoit at Dynamite in Edmonton: Credit: Fightful Select. Sean Ross Sapp stated when asked if there was a chance of Benoit stepping in the ring, “I guess there’s always still a chance, but I wouldn’t count on it… I’d heard he went to Lance Storm’s school briefly and was not quite the natural that his father was. The people that I spoke to said he wasn’t there long and that it didn’t seem like pro wrestling was for him.”

🎙️ DESK OUTRO

Ed: “Fans, from title defenses to faction warfare, AEW is firing on all cylinders!”

Gordon: “Indeed. A most compelling week — and the road to Double or Nothing promises even more fireworks. And with that… so long from the wrestling world.”
