The Atroederer. Instantly you are excited, especially for the name is Pat McAfee. You just got super duper pumped.

But I may as well start a video and shout sex, because that's just the interest the adjudera does get.

We are basically 30 years removed and people still love it.

And given that we have talked about it time and time again, we here at What Culture Thought We would do something a little bit different.

We have gone through every single year of the adjud era, and we have found

one mind-blowing secret, or at least a little bit of factoid or some trivia, you probably don't know. So go and sit down, make yourself a cup of coffee, or stick a donut in your mouth. My name is Simon Miller. I'm totally bald. And here's a big old list. Number 41, December 1997 and same old, same old. DGeneration X were the talk of the town in December 1999, so much so they were going to get their own pay-per-view and also don't forget, this was only one month removed from the Montreal screw job, so Vincent Mayer was walking around going, oh my gosh, that situation with Britt Hart, I really hope it's not going to affect the company. Sure, Michael's's a triple H like, it won't affect the company, Vince.

As long as you embrace it and let's take our arms and start crotching at people

because it's all now going to be about penises.

There was absolutely still a worry there though because around this time,

Vince McMahon did reach out to the ultimate warrior and tried to re-sign him.

And you can see that contract on the internet right now.

And go look at the undercard too he was still booking matches like the undertaker versus corrigan of the truth commission and this just goes to show that we were still stuck in our old ways that was always the mo for the undertaker just find a bigger guy and go oh my gosh he's going to beat the dead man and the phenom would just go and figure it out now at, at one point, this was written down for WrestleMania as well, but of course then who came along? It was the one and only Kane, and you can listen to Bruce Pritcher talk about this. Kane was only meant to be a short-lived idea, so maybe they wouldn't even do the Undertaker versus Kane at the show of shows, but of course he got so damn over. He went on to have a 20 plus career, and for a good old

world was essentially part of the furniture. Number 40, January 1998 and the bizarre crossover.

January 5th, 1998, of course, the WWF could smell WCW, who was who was whooping their ass,

and Vincent Mann had an idea, why don't we go get some talent for another company? So that's right,

they actually did a deal with the NWA, even in early 1998. This felt pretty weird. It's why

Jeff Jarrett did indeed defend his NWA North American title against Barry Windham on an episode

of WWF TV that nobody will ever talk about again, even if you were sat there watching it live

because it was just a bunch of nothing. However, there is a little caveat to this, which I hope is true. Because according to the wrestling observer, Jeff Jow was actually meant to take on Doug Furness. When Doug Furness got to the building, he looked at the board all the matches on. He couldn't see his name, and I guess this was the way that the NW operated, that Tim meant he had the night off,

he went home, and because we did have to have a match, someone just screamed at Barry Windham,

and we did that instead.

Number 39, February 1998 and all of the signs.
