Former WWE
writer turned host of the From The Attitude Era podcast, Tommy Blacha, left the world of Conan O’Brien to work for Vince McMahon & WWE for 2 unforgettable years during the Attitude Era. Tommy explains where he first met Vince, and how an invitation to Stamford, Connecticut led to a fulltime creative job at WWE. Tommy pulls back the curtain on some of his most memorable creative storylines including Mae Young giving birth to a hand, Big Bossman interrupting Big Show’s dad’s funeral and how the Blues Brothers’ car ended up in that scene, and Stone Cold Steve Austin being run over by a car. He talks about Vince Russo’s abrupt departure to WCW, Chris Jericho’s incredible WWE debut as Y2J, and how a fateful, chance meeting in the hallway before a show probably saved Chris Jericho’s wrestling career. Plus, Tommy reveals the
one big idea he could never get Vince McMahon to greenlight!
