Episode 117: WWE SummerSlam 2002 (Greatest Show Ever)

This is quite possibly the greatest wrestling pay-per-view of all time! At the very least, it's in the top 2 or 3. We're going 20 years into the past to cover WWE SummerSlam 2002. Many things were in flux at this time in WWE. Steve Austin walked out and was arrested for domestic violence, the Rock was about to go film a movie, Brock Lesnar was proving he was "The Next Big Thing," Hulk Hogan's in-ring career was a bit more than winding down, Shawn Michaels is back and was about to start the second "prime" of his career after a 4 1/2 year absense, and the divide between Raw and SmackDown! was becoming bigger than ever. Also, in the news, we discuss TNA crowning the first ever black NWA Champion while trying to cut costs with big stars, XPW causing mayhem in Philadelphia, the WWE's business being down, a big star from WCW's past stepping into the ring again, and much, much more!
