    Schwarzenegger Invades Smackdown - Former WWE Head Writer Shares Behind The Scenes Stories
    Sep 2 2024

    One of the most memorable episodes of WWE Smackdown ever was the 11/11/1999 edition and former head writer Tommy Blacha has a lot of stories to share. Tommy goes into detail about dealing with Arnold Schwarzenegger and his people in the lead-up to the episode, how Arnold was integrated into the show and ended up doing way more than they originally agreed on, how Triple H masterminded the memorable ending of the episode, and the ways Vince wanted to overdeliver on the promotion of Arnold's movie.


    As if that wasn't enough, this was also the episode where the funeral of Big Show's father was crashed by the Big Boss Man, leading to one of the most unintentionally hilarious segments in the history of the show.


    Also the tag team division brings the work-rate, Jericho's feud with Chyna hits a crescendo and Ivory heats up her feud with Tori all in the lead-up to WWE Survivor Series 1999, which we are reviewing next week.
