Episode Synopsis
Monday 18 March 2002.
Hot off the heels of WrestleMania X8 the night before, the World Wrestling Federation found itself in a dilemma as its weekly Monday Night Raw broadcast drew closer. In addition to the night after WrestleMania traditionally being a blank slate for new storylines, meaning they had to begin from scratch, the company had more talent than they had airtime in which they could properly utilise them all. Oh yeah- and their top bad guy had just been forcibly turned into a hero by the loving WrestleMania crowd. Vince McMahon and his team of writers and producers were forced to make changes- and quick. But McMahon had a few tricks up his sleeve... including a new WWF Superstar he couldn’t wait to debut in front of the world.
L. T. Fletcher is joined by John Blud of newLegacy Inc. and Deadlock (and co-owner of fast-rising independent wrestling promotion Deadlock Pro Wrestling) for this look at the night things changed for the WWF as old rivalries draw to a close, alliances shift… and a new face explodes onto the scene as the WWF landscape is about to be changed in never before seen fashion.
