This might be the most notorious part of this WCW timeline, and it is for good reason. When David Arquette won the WCW World Title, the wrestling world in a single moment collectively caught their breath and instantly vilified not only Arquette but Vince Russo as well for disgracing an honored and prestigious championship in professional wrestling. Some might say this was the death nail that would send WCW in the downward spiral it would never recover from. Now 15 years after the fact, how angry are we still?

Welcome to Shitboree, excuse me, Slamboree 2000! The Ready

to Rumble triple cage makes its official debut in WCW with Mayhem Jeff

Jarrett squaring off against DDP….and WCW World Champion, David Arquette. Yes,

we have reached that part of the timeline. More feuds continuing from last

month as well as Billy Kidman battles Hollywood Hardcore Terry Hulk Hogan Bolea

while Vampiro writes another chapter in his feud with Sting. Not to mention,

though, Scott Steiner is in a foul mood defending his US Title against Hugh

Morrus with new debuting name. Finally, it’s been seven years in the making.

How will Shane Douglas vs. Ric Flair hold up? And will Flair don his country

club street clothes again? You can follow us on Twitter, @newbloodpod, and

It has been 15 years since Ready To Rumble debuted (and

exited…very quickly) from theatres in the year 2000. For most of us at the

time, it was great just to have a wrestling movie that wasn’t the dark and

serious Beyond The Mat. That being said, it was one more turn in a wave of

massive failures for WCW, least of which gave birth to one of its more infamous

and vilified World Champions. And yet with all of the absurdity of Ready To

Rumble, we talk about how its changed for us over the years with our different

viewings. Maybe, just maybe, in the spirit of the New Blood Rising Podcast, we

can have something positive to talk about in all of this. Follow the podcast on

Battle lines have been drawn in Chicago. The New Blood is

changing the landscape of WCW and ridding the wrestling world of the Millionaire’s

Club, who in their eyes has hogged the spotlight for far too long. Hot off the

heels of the television demolition derby that was the Reboot Nitro comes Spring

Stampede 2000, where all WCW titles are vacant under the dual monarchy of Vince

Russo and Eric Bischoff. Will “Mayhem” Jeff Jarrett FINALLY get the world

championship he has been chasing since he arrived in October? It’s Jarrett vs.

DDP for the big gold belt! Welcome to the Terrordome! Follow the podcast on

We have reached another impasse in our journey through WCW's later years. Kevin Sullivan, only three months into his run as Head Writer, is removed from power (or in WCW lingo, "sent home...with pay") in a coup that will bring rise to another new era in WCW to which this podcast is named after. More on that next episode. In the meantime, the New Blood Rising Podcast takes an objective look at Kevin Sullivan's brief run in the year 2000 to find maybe a few bright spots as opposed to, well, the Dog character. Join William Renken, Jason Keisler, and Charlie Stabile as we revisit Souled Out 2000, SuperBrawl 2000, and Uncensored 2000. As a side note, the opening to this episode is a trailer for Kevin Sullivan's interview with Kayfabe Commentaries (@KayfabeComment).

It’s the unsanctioned pay-per-view in WCW’s calendar of

shows. It’s WCW Uncensored 2000! Live from Miami, FL, there are feuds

culminating. In a Lumberjack Cast Match, it’s Sting vs. The Total Package. In

another chapter of their epic feud over the years, it’s Hulk Hogan vs. Ric

Flair in the infamous “Apple Pie” Strap Match. And for with the WCW World Title

on the line, it’s Sid Vicious defending against the United States Champion (and

podcast favorite) “Mayhem” Jeff Jarrett. This is a much more fun show than its

ever given credit for, and we hope we make it feel that way. Follow us on

A very interesting bonus episode this week coming off of

SuperBrawl 2000. A roster in flux, indeed. A lot of faces coming in and coming

out. A lot of faces finally making an appearance on the podcast. We don’t cover

them all, but we get into some interesting conversation about Bobby Heenan,

Mark Madden, Chris Kanyon, Ernest Miller, and, of course, the KISS Demon. We

are a proud member of the OSW Podcast Network through piledriverwrestling.net.

Follow us on Twitter, @newbloodpod! PS, we finally unveil our tribute to

another one of our WCW favorites making their debut on the podcast very soon!

Souled Out 2000 left a glimmer of hope in our eyes, as WCW

seemed to have this incredible morale boost before our eyes. Little did we know

what was going on behind the scenes that would lead to it unraveling in less

than 24 hours…Here we are! It’s SuperBrawl 2000. Will James Brown show up to

vindicate Ernest Miller? Will Hulk Hogan put the “young star” Lex Luger (aka The

Total Package) to rest? What will a Death Match bring to the feud between Terry

Funk and Ric Flair? And how the in the world can Sid Vicious walk out of San

Francisco still the World Champion against the likes of Scott Hall and “Mayhem”

Jeff Jarrett? Too many questions! It’s a land of confusion! We are on Twitter,

@newbloodpod, and please be sure to subscribe on iTunes!

Only nights before WCW Souled Out 2000, Bill Busch made the

call to have Vince Russo removed as head writer only a mere three and a half

months of being at the helm of World Championship Wrestling. I swear to god, he

will be back…Until then, the New Blood Rising Podcast talks about the things

that worked, the things that didn’t work, the things that deserve to be

lampooned, but above all the successes (albeit few) that came out of Vince

Russo’s first run with WCW. Join William Renken, Jason Keisler, and Charlie

Stabile and follow the podcast on Twitter @newbloodpod, and, of course,
