| 12/3/25 |  WWE Vengeance 2001 | Brett, Chadillac Margarita, and Blade Daily dive deep in to the glorified Monday Night RAW episode masquerading as a PPV that was WWE Vengeance 2001. 20 minute opening promo? Check! Meaningless mid-card matches that lead nowhere? Check! Undertaker needlessly squashing an up and coming talent? Oh yeah. Plus they pull off the delicate trick of crowning the first Undisputed WWE Champion without making them look strong at all! All that and the usual Ric Flair and Vince McMahon slander you've come to expect!Follow Us on SocialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehardway.podThreads: https://www.threads.net/@thehardway.podBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/thehardwaypod.bsky.socialSubscribe: https://shows.acast.com/the-hard-way-with-brett-michelleFollow Brett MichelleInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/pegme_bundyThreads: https://threads.net/pegme_bundyFollow Sickos ClubInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/sickos.club/Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/sickosclub.bsky.socialThreads: https://www.threads.net/@sickos.club Hosted on Acast.
