Before WWE Judgment Day 2000, The Undertaker had already undergone several variations his "Deadman" gimmick, but they all aligned with his gothic horror persona. At the aforementioned pay-per-view, The Undertaker ditched the black robes and became a biker-themed wrestler, and somehow it worked well enough to even have a spin-off heel gimmick known as "Big Evil."

After somehow moving back to the top of WWE, selling the promotion to TKO, and becoming a board member, Vince McMahon was forced to step away from the promotion he co-founded due to all the horrific allegations made against him. In a surprising turn of events, McMahon recently announced that he'll be launching an entertainment company and has already hired former WWE staff.

Former AEW star Marko Stunt announced that he's officially retired from pwrestling at 28-years-old in a social media post made late last week. Since then, Stunt has appeared on the " Love Wrestling " podcast, where he commented on his retirement, his obligations to his family, and the hopes he had on getting back into the industry before having to face reality.

WWE Hall of Famers Bully Ray and Mark Henry comment on how Shelton Benjamin is being used in AEW so far.

AEW has, across the past two years, significantly ramped up the amount of pay-per-views and special themed episodes they air annually. The promotion even once held a Bash at the Beach special, which was a callback to the WCW pay-per-view of the same name, and according to recent filings from the United States Patent and Trademark Office, AEW has filed for both "AEW Parade of Champions" and "Parade of Champions" which is a callback to the WCCW events that the late Fritz Von Erich once held annually.

ECW legend Tommy Dreamer has been closely watching the WWE product over the past few years alongside his co-hosts since joining the "Busted Open Radio" team. Dreamer recently commented on this week's episode of "WWE Raw," in which Bronson Reed cost Seth Rollins a shot at reclaiming the World Heavyweight Championship, and explained why he believes that the promotion should make Reed more of a heel.

WWE recently announced their latest endeavor, WWE ID, which will set out to legitimize several wrestling schools and bring them under the promotion's banner, allowing the would-be-stars to have a straight path into WWE if they want to. On " My World," Jeff Jarrett commented on this new endeavor and what it could mean for the future of wrestling.

Baron Corbin's recent WWE release came to the shock of many, especially after he had what seemed like a successful run in "WWE NXT" alongside Bron Breakker, which many believed could have revitalized his career. In light of the news, AEW's Jeff Jarrett gave his take on what Corbin should do next, on his " My World " podcast.

The legacy Vince McMahon has built over the decades has become very convoluted and at times contradictory, as there are several stories about him going out of his way to be compassionate as well as stories of him simply being one of the most ruthless cutthroat businessmen of modern history. According to Mark Henry, there were two times across his WWE career, where McMahon outright gave him a hug.

While the late 90's pro wrestling war was fought between WCW and WWE, ECW still played a significant role in establishing and platforming many wrestlers that would go on to compete in WWE a few years later. As a veteran of ECW himself, Tommy Dreamer took part and witnessed several matches in the promotion and in a recent episode of " Busted Open Radio," he recalled the two best matches that ever took place in the ECW Arena.
