  • Summary

  • We take a brief break from our weekly reviews to welcome special guest David Koechner. Host Tommy Blacha was the head writer of WWE in 1999 and when an actor needed to be brought in to play a wet blanket, Tommy knew just the guy! Koechner talks about his brief run, what could've been and shares some fun backstage stories. He also dives into his year on Saturday Night Live and what happened there and how he got unceremoniously fired. A very fun convo!

    Tommy Blacha made his name in Hollywood as a writer on Conan O'Brien, co-creator of Metalocalypse on Adult Swim, and a writer on shows like The Eric Andre Show and Da Ali G Show. But, a little-known fact about Tommy's career is that he was the head writer of WWE (WWF at the time)) during their most successful period, starting in 1999, taking over for Vince Russo, who left for the competition. This podcast, Tales from the Attitude Era will be a retrospective of Tommy's time in the head writer position and the roller coaster ride that is pro wrestling, co-hosted by Rob Pasbani.
