About this listen

 Strap in for the explosive, beer-swilling, middle-finger-to-the-man spectacle of the 1997 WWF Slammy Awards—a night where the Attitude Era erupted in full glory, and the WWF’s war for survival got doused in gasoline and lit on live TV. Hosted by a wrestling anarchist with a hotline to Vince McMahon’s panic room, this episode drags you into the pyro-lit chaos of Stone Cold Steve Austin’s rise from rebel to icon, D-Generation X’s censorship-smashing antics, and The Rock’s eyebrow-raising debut as Corporate Champ. Relive the unscripted carnage: Austin’s “Hell Yeah!” awards robbery, DX’s crotch-chopping takeover of the stage, and Undertaker’s death march through a crowd of terrified celebs.
This wasn’t just an awards show—it was a corporate mutiny. Hear how Bret Hart’s simmering exit poisoned the greenroom, why Shawn Michaels’ “Boy Toy” antics nearly got the show yanked off air, and the secret feud between Sable and Marlena over who’d “accidentally” flash the most camera crews. With unearthed audio of Vince McMahon’s meltdown over Austin’s rebellion, Mankind’s sock puppet sabotage, and The Rock’s proto-Hollywood smacktalk, this deep dive exposes how the ’97 Slammies became WWF’s last stand before the Monday Night Wars went thermonuclear.
From glass-shattering shocks to censor-baiting profanity, this podcast is a Molotov cocktail of nostalgia. Press play and relive the night wrestling shed its PG chains—no chaser, no mercy, just Attitude.
