Grilling JR #56 WWF Judgment Day 2000

On this episode of Grilling JR, Jim and Conrad do a watchalong of the May 23, 2005 edition of Monday Night Raw, which took place at the Resch Center in Green Bay, WI, just one night after the Judgement Day PPV. What makes this episode so special? We saw Vince McMahon, Paul Heyman, and Eric Bischoff all in the ring at the same time! Plus, we saw Batista take on Edge for the WWE Championship in the main event, and so much more!

"Both logs wanted to get over." I think that's the biggest laughing head shake I've done in all of 2020. Thanks JR.

Started rewatching 2000-2010 starting with the 2000 rumble I just watched judgement day a week ago and forgot how impactful takers return was with the video playing and chaos around the ring

One of the biggest pops ever

Watch 1999 raw is war and into smackdown and the ppvs amazing I watched wrestlering from 2000-2003 ! Xxx

I just love when someone talks about flushing Bischoff and Hogan....makes my day😂😂😂😂😂

*JR I doubt if you ever read this but I was there in the audience & out of every Monday Night Raw, SmackDown, & pay-per-view that I attended in person this was my favorite show ever including with the hottest crowd I ever been in & I'm sure you & the King's announcing on TV was amazing as well so thank you*

[@delbertprince5302]

Jim Ross is very honest and direct with his views about the wrestlers......

[@leannerobson3998]

MOST EXCITING ENDING TO ANY MATCH YOU WILL WATCH ! IN 2000 INCLUDING THE HHH AUSTIN CAR AND NOMERCY RIKISHI AND AUSTIN ! XXX

[@josephboza7448]

I like the watch along. Its one thing hearing Conrad and JR talk about topic but its another to actually watch the show as they discuss said topic. Judgment Day 2000 is an underrated show. I think the thing that saved it was that Ironman match. Plus we loved Undertaker's return. I could be wrong but it wont spoiled on the internet or returns werent spoiled yet to the point its popular as it today.

[@TrevStoker]

I love JR.. so down to earth. I love to play dominoes too lol

[@pmfg11]

"Wrestling fans today are a lot more interested in the steak than the sizzle" The fans that cared about the sizzle no longer watch the product because there's been very little sizzle for 20 years. So the fans that are left, the hardcore fans, those fans care about the matches yes

[@joedavidson6556]

But the matches also suck today. No steak no sizzle it’s like being in a vegetarian restaurant not a steak house

[@tysontomko]

As usual JR being as cool as the other side of the pillow

Hes tougher than a $2 steak.

Love hearing this

[@ABCDyeahyeahyeah]

JR should call the Little League World Series if it comes back this year. So much passion!

[@andresgc770]

Me: "Oh! I'll just listen to JR's podcast while I have some breakfast..." I was so angry at y'all for that Metamucil story until JR said both logs were trying to get over XD

I started my lunch eating a pizza with that story

[@NerdPromComics]

Shitting JR could be a spinoff podcast

[@victorysaber1608]

I was actually at a judgement day. In Tennessee. Main event undertaker vs Hogan. But had a few solid matches, hhh vs jericho hell in a cell. Edge angle hair match, even the open. Austin vs flair with big show. I forgot the rest. Lol I know they walk everywhere

[@TMBales]

I loved hbk n Bret, but this took it up a notch

[@stevepmg9202]

Several notches. This was exciting. Despite being a massive Bret Hart fan, the match with Shawn was boring as hell.

[@the6footplustree75]

I thought so too. This Iron man match showed us, into the future, that Iron Man matches don't have to push to overtime to see a winner.

[@FforFake]

The match was fine, but I think this is remembered so fondly because of the Undertaker run-in and the finish. HBK vs. Hart is still my favorite.

[@jaysalazar107]

Its very easy to enjoy Chris Benoit matches

[@delgrady10]

NEED MORE ADDS PLEASE

[@ABCDyeahyeahyeah]

Someone needs to mix the beginning of the podcast with the instrumental of the famous “My Ass” JR tribute song 😂🤣

[@leebailey3520]

Any chance yall will ever get rid of the 500 million ads every 2 minutes? Love watching and listening but almost cant anymore because theres more time spent in loading and playing ads than I am watching the damn show. That's in addition to Billy Guns annoying bed commercial, and Conrad's buisness ads in the video itself. (BTW Conrad, you need to add "but how much" after your "it's not a matter of if I can save you money" in reference to your credit card commercial.

[@darthbigred22]

Wrestling fans today are more interested in the steak than the sizzle Well all the sizzle guys made more money, were more famous, and lead the most successful eras of the WWF/WWE. Plus I don't understand the whole concept of hating a punch and kick era yet the more technical wrestlers have a higher injury rate. Isn't that defeating the purpose of being fake if you keep actually getting hurt? Also if people truly enjoy watching wrestling why isn't actual wrestling watched more?

[@gothchicksbongrips5712]

At 400,000 buys on a $40-50 price tag. Upwards of $20 Million.

[@joedavidson6556]

Who the hell paid $40-$50 for this ppv?? $30.00 tops. But with 400,000 buys it’s still more than I can hope to make this year

[@OldSchoolDudeGaming]

Then considering half is gone to taxes and then paying everyone, it's not a ton.

[@casualfan3358]

Why the new channel

[@wolfwang8464]

I don’t think that other channel was theirs. I believe someone else was just uploading the podcasts. So they decided to make their own and remove the podcast from the other guys profile because he didn’t have rights to it.

[@chrisbide3444]

Why not this page is setup better. The episodes in order. The episodes are not split in half. All the episodes are here. Unlike that other page at least 15 of these were missing thanks Conrad & crew (probably Dave Silva) for fixing Grilling JR

[@gothchicksbongrips5712]

Lesnar vs Angle was a great iron man match. Not to be a stickler, HBK vs Cena was a regular one on one match. They did go close to a hour though.

[@batmanwins4584]

I think they went over on Raw, right? It was the best match Cena was ever in.

[@the6footplustree75]

That Lesnar Angle Ironman Match is what comes to my mind when I think of the Iron Match. Primarily because it wasn't full of false finishes. But secondarily because this wasn't a match that went into overtime because of a lack of falls or submissions. Randy Orton & John Cena had a very competitive, fairly frequent falls, at Bragging Rights (2009) which I can distinctively compare to the particular Smackdown Iron Man match.

[@ReallyBigBrother]

Halfway through this podcast I realize how useless the information I’m consuming is..... so I did something about it ..... finished the podcast 🤷‍♂️

[@darthbigred22]

X pac wasn't over because he looked like an old guy trying to act like a young stoner. Plus it's kinda lame his name was literally attached to D-X whether D-X existed or not. His finishers sucked as well but looking back he was ahead of the curve on energy drinks.

[@jordiejordan8249]

*Patterson wasn't just one of the best at coming up with wrestling match finishes of all time but also known as finishing off most of the talent & ring boys against their will as well.*

Connie, sell me your podcasts. Not your Lesko schemes

[@Tamlinearthly]

An Iron Man match--or really any multiple falls match--is ruined for me as soon as the first fall is counted, because I can't shake the feeling of knowing that in any normal contest the match would now be over and that guy would be the champion. Anything that takes place after that feels fraudulent, because by rights it shouldn't even happen, the real winner got the three-count already. It cheapens the entire exercise.

[@MrStrawberry86]

You do know wrestling is fake yeah?

[@Tamlinearthly]

You must be one of those "wins and losses" don't matter bookers.

[@the6footplustree75]

@@Tamlinearthly I think i know how you feel. To be an Iron Man match is a lot like a movie. It's a movie in itself that is not god awful, but a movie that you probably can't watch every day on repeat and still love.
