The year is 2000 and wrestling is strong, though the days of being strong are numbered, especially for World Championship Wrestling, who were going through rough times behind the scenes with corporate restructuring and creative changes. Part of the creative changes included new gimmicks for old names, names like Price Iaukea, a milquetoast good guy who had several attempts to catch on with the audience but never did. That is until someone got an idea to try to turn Prince Iaukea into another well known act that went by the name Prince.
Close Personal Friends BigWheezy (@kamrontherunner) and Robi (@Yeeeerrrrobi) join the pod to watch Prince Iaukea's last match before the new gimmick against Normal Smiley and then TAFKAPI winning the cruiserweight championship at Superbrawl 2000, the Smackdown Your Vote campaign, how Jerry Lawler may have influenced the 2000 presidential election, and celebrate Queen Sharmell, manager of champions
