If you’ve enjoyed past shows that dipped their toes in this pool, like the WCW 2000 sale drama or ECW on TNN series, then this is more of the same.\n\nTimestamps:\n0:00:00 Weeks of February 7 to March 13, 2000\n1:15:01 Weeks of March 20 to April 17, 2000\n2:03:48 Weeks of April 24 to June 5, 2000\n2:55:26 Week of June 12, 2000 (with Linda McMahon trial testimony)",
