The sad part is the actual racing itself and the track layout were really, really good. It was a track design borrowed from the 4 Wheel Jamboree but it works. Everything about the production is just awful though. All the drama feels so fake, and the commentators’ catchphrases got old fast in just one episode. I’m not a prude considering that I’m a big George Carlin fan, but a lot of the production just felt really sleazy too for something that should be all ages entertainment. There’s nothing crazy objectionable content-wise, but statements like “having sex in a car wreck” don’t really belong in a racing program. You won’t hear anything like that on a NASCAR broadcast. The wrestling influence was pumped up to 11, and it’s not like their competition at the time wasn’t receiving criticism for the same thing. People hated the Katie Haas storyline on TNN Motor Madness, and the staged bits with the NWO truck and Chad Fortune do not hold up (although Chad’s commitment to playing a character has always been admirable). I don’t know why they would do the worst thing Monster Jam was doing and do it worse. I also have to give Gene Patterson credit because as bad as the staged bits are, he’s another driver who is very good at playing a character, and we basically got a glimpse at Colt Cobra without the mask. There’s also just way too many wrestling promo sequences. It’s like 15 minutes into the show before you see a single monster truck race
@@ryanmcmillin5313 Actually you’re thinking of the spokesman. That was Chad Fortune who drove all those trucks after that. However, the one driving the NWO truck was actually Rob Knell, and they didn’t even really hide it that well since they showed his face a couple times and Rob Knell appeared in interviews in the previous seasons when he drove for Bulldozer.
@@colten53 Monster Jam seemed to learn from that when Doom's Day came to be
The racing was completely rigged.
@@bigyodatheman It was but that Scorpion crash stuck with me for years. It’s a good track design too. If you want to see this type of track in a non-staged event, check out the Indy 4 Wheel Jamboree in 2001 or 2002 I think.
if this was in feburaray then the jamborees haven't fired up yet they did this track setup at indianapolis fairgrounds and Bloomsburg
They took every thing cringy about wrestling and tried to put it into a sport where truck breakdowns can happen at any moment, truly brilliant. Thank god this failed LOL
Thank goodness there wasn't Mascots like the Monster Wars Era.😄 The format of this program gives me bad memories of the Dusty Rhodes Era of TNN's Motor Madness.
Lol the early 2000s mane
There was huge backlash at the time by just about everyone in the sport. Monster Jam was getting heavy criticism at the time, and then Bigfoot of all teams to go and put THIS on.
@@ryanmcmillin5313 Yeah.
Still no excuse for this show.
@@ryanmcmillin5313 lolol I was following the sport when it happened. I don't need a history lesson.
@@ryanmcmillin5313 Exactly. Sure. But it wasn't.
Team Bigfoot would've kicked some ass at Monster Jam World Finals 1!
@@ryanmcmillin5313 Because Bob Chandler wasn't going to give up his creation's name so easily.I have always stood beside the Big Blue Ford & felt whomever was "in charge"should have shut their damn mouths.
Interesting fact, this was filmed on a Wednesday and they sold the place out for it. I still find that nuts. Lot of advertising I remember.
“Like having sex and being in a car wreck at the same time”
That analogy doesn’t even make sense in a comedic way. This is making ECW look like a episode of Little Bear.
Were they just randomly trying to shoehorn in a reference to the movie “Crash” for some reason? Because families are totally going to understand a reference to a niche NC-17 movie that got a limited theatrical release
@@colten53 I had to look up and figure out which movie Crash you were mentioning as this was before the 2004 Paul Haggis film and you were referring to the 1996 David Cronenberg film also called Crash.
6:49
9:41 - 9:49 This is the literal equivalent of portraying Tom Meents' as a character who sabotages his opponent's trucks and will do anything to win.
This feels like something straight out of the mind of Vince McMahon or Vince Russo
It’s frankly a little shocking neither were involved
Howard Stern was involved, enough said
@@ericfording3556 lol
And this is why you dont mix monster trucks and wrestling together lol. The track lay out was cool
One team that did it well was Freedom Racing, when they campaigned WWF Monster Trucks for four years. It seems to be the exception to the majority, in that most other wrestling tie ins didn’t work.
@@ldsdudeinca i knew that. i was talking about from a storyline point. i love the wrestling trucks from WCW and WWF
@@johnanderson6401 Ah, got it. I misunderstood that. Thanks for the correction.
@@ldsdudeinca you welcome
It’s sad to see that the BigFoot team of all teams participated in this event.
True. What the heck where they thinking
I guess you weren't around for the Bigfoot team's debut of Snakebite in 1991. As someone who had watched monster truck racing since 1988 as a legitimate up-and-coming motorsport, it was upsetting. When I saw the animal head truck body and the "mysterious" hooded fictional character driver named Colt Cobra talking smack and making snake puns during interviews, it was like, "What the fuck is this shit!? What the fuck are they doing?"
This honestly reminds me a bit of USHRA Monster Wars from 1993-ish where they had “mascots” deliver cheesy lines for each driver before their races. The only reason why that show kind of worked was that it was great for kids and they did a good job balancing the science/sport aspect of monster truck racing with the cheesiness.
We also have to remember just how hot wrestling was at this point in history. 1999- 2001 was about the peak of the wrestling boom so it isn’t surprising that someone tried something like this. That still doesn’t excuse the fact that it’s terrible. They certainly didn’t have any sort of a target audience in mind when they made this.
Yep Carolina crusher. Grave digger equalizer. Taurus. Ufo at times. Not all trucks had them. But I remember it was the high time for bear foot to become one the best monster trucks of his to rival grave digger an bigfoot for only being only him and his wife. Only other to that was Samson.
Bear Foot was owned by Paul Shafer Motorsports at this point right?
I remember that 😂 It was so cheesy.
2 sisters, 2 trucks, let's go racing.
I hate this I hate this I hate this I hate this I hate this I hate this
ENOUGH. IS. *ENOUGH!*
Choice of trucks were great. At that time I still remembered Bigfoot and was excited to see this variation of Bigfoot, since the paintjob kept feel of the classical style from Bigfoot 8, and looked strong. Plus seeing Monster Patrol and Boogy Van for the first time was amazing, especially after hearing stories of Monster Patrol at my school, and former WCW trucks turned to regular vehicles. The track was great. And you wouldn't think that it wouldn't be scripted based off the races, had it not be for the final race of the first round between Bigfoot and Scorpion that pretty much "killed the show". Looking at it today, yeah it was very cringe. It's fine if drivers were to have a personality, but I can't see these drivers as characters. The villains were too obvious and cartoony, almost like a Disney or Nickelodeon kids show. Plus, Monster Jam World Finals would put on an amazing show one month later that turned into a tradition to this day. This could work like a kid show on a Saturday, if the competition is still real, but the interviews were gimmicked, kinda like how Monster Wars was back then with the competition real, but we get gimmicked promos, but it couldn't be from a promotion with that name trying to create a series separated from the USHRA or Penda series at that time. Also, one final note, I remember there was a show on Spike TV that deals with racing, either Motocross, Stadium Trucks, Buggies and such, but the drivers themselves are also characters. I can't remember it, but it feels like a spiritual successor to this show. Funny thing is, the show I am talking about aired late night hours, not prime time television.
This is a show
can get a rare ranking of 0 from me
The sad thing is the actual racing itself was actually was solid
At 1:45 you mentioned "...to appeal to the same type of audience" (wrestling).
That was all I needed to hear, but I watched to the end because I have always been impressed with monster trucks and what these talented drivers can do with their machines.
Wow. Dumming monster truck events to this level was terrifying indeed!
Thanks, Ill avoid the whole show.
Monster Trux 2000 promotor: THIS IS SUCH GOOD S**T!
What’s wildest is that Jennifer Goodwin was also working on TNN Motor Madness during this time dating back to November of 1999. However, after the filming of this show, she never appeared on Motor Madness again, as her last appearance with MJ was at the end of January from Anaheim and this show was filmed mid-February. Could this show have jeopardized her contract with TNN and Monster Jam, or was she let go and she subsequently got this gig as people knew she'd be on the "big show" on TV over the next number of months?
The Scorpion crash was not part of the script and everyone had to start ad-libbing, which is another interesting bit about this night.
This is better than 2020’s Monster Jam
This wasn't even real
2020 was COVID that screwed monster jam
Both are godawful imo.
@miketrapper0464 THAT IS THE POINT! (another r/woosh moment for reddit)
I think if you take the scripted part out of this. You have a great show with one of my personal favorite tracks. Plus it was nice to see something not focused on freestyle which I'm not the biggest fan of
I was 7 when this came out and as a massive Dan Runte and Bigfoot fan it was so hard to watch. After wanting a new monster truck show after Trucks and Tractor Power and not being a fan of Grave Digger. It was very very very uncomfortable to watch. Even today it still is. It makes alot more sense with all the junk in it that Howard Stern had his hands in it.
One day I hope we have a monster truck series that is taken legitimately and shows who has the best truck. Not who can destroy it.
Honestly, considering Monster Trucks reputation in pop culture for being big, stupid and loud, I feel like an idea similar to this COULD work, just not like this. Maybe if it had been a reality show about the drivers or something.
If i made a show about monster trucks, i would go counter intuitive and portray the monster truck world as big, loud, but intellegent, something that would focus on the trucks and their awesome engineering and maybe even what it takes to run a truck along with it's team
@@NeurodivergentSuperiorityI want a Drive to Survive but for monster trucks
MonsterTalk. Have you reviewed the WCW Monster Truck Sumo Match that took place on the show, Halloween Havoc? If not, here how it goes, WCW wrestlers Hulk Hogan and The Giant battle each other out in a Monster Truck Sumo Match where they attempt to push each other out of a circular ring and be declared the winner. The trucks used for the match include Hulkster and Dungeon Of Doom.
Bob Chandler himself appeared on that show to explain how the trucks work to the commentary team and the two drivers. Having grown up with Bigfoot, it's sad seeing the brand get tarnished by being associated with hokey stuff like this. Hopefully it's partnership with Hot Wheels can keep some recognition going in pop culture.
I haven't reviewed it but I have seen it before
@@imlaughing2death Agreed and, I pretty much enjoyed the sumo match, It was the first for Monster Trucks.
I mean, there's not much to review, as it was just the two trucks pushing each other for a little bit until Hulk Hogan and The Giant got out to brawl only for Hogan to "push" The Giant off of the roof of Cobo Hall... Only for the future Big Show to show up in the main event with no explanation for how he survived the fall
I think I have new respect for World Finals 19
Lmaooo mind explaining?
@@AlanNadeauIII no
@@ericfording3556 Lol fair
What was wrong with 19?
@@bigyodatheman did you watch it? Racing Championship was between two Grave Diggers. And half the field were one and dones in freestyle.
This was sad. The fans,need a,New Series,Like NASCAR. Instead of multiple shows,(1) show,per week. Crushing multiple cars,add a,few surprise additions to crush,a qualifier round, and point system. I believe, that old fans,would stay or come back. Detroit Loves your show,here on CZcams. G
3 lovely ladies fighting over a hillbilly in racing overall with a mullet. This is the greatest television show of all time 😂
Stuff like this is why motorsports just can't be staged like wrestling. It's just far too unpredictable.
Despite how I rag on MJ all the time now (due to its heavily declining quality since 2017) at least it will never come close to how bad this show was
No joke, this show is total 900 trillion% bad and garbage.
The only good things were the track, seeing some of these trucks back on TV, Dr. Bonez and Scorpion(P.S., Hot Wheels, please make these. Especially Dr. Bonez.). Instead of hiring actors, bring in more trucks. I would've loved to see Equalizer, Bear Foot, and others run this course! Instead of scripted "behind the scenes" drama, show what ACTUALLY happens behind the scenes: Track setup, truck wrenching, driver's meeting, interviews, practice sessions, and anything else(Literally talking about a singular wrench would be better and more interesting. Anything's better than what this show used.). What hurts the most is the fact this was a rigged racing bracket though and(most likely) no qualifying session. This was at a time where even Monster Jam still placed some emphasis on the importance of qualifying, so for this to try and rival that with a fixed bracket was not a good idea. And a rigged bracket was a horrible move! Racing is arguably the most legitimate and competitive competition in the sport of monster trucks(it's not really easy to say someone else should've won a racing bracket like how the winning freestyle can be disputed), so to take the legitimacy out of it would've made for a very predictable series(Bigfoot wins nearly everything with Dr. Bonez getting a few one-off's was likely the plan). Sorry for the lengthy comment, but to think this is how some of the most popular trucks and some new names in the circuit were going to be on television from then on AND that this thought it could compete with Monster Jam is somewhat terrifying.
The moment the girl said that I’m the pearl on his foot I immediately stopped watching the video
Has anyone tried to do a supercut of this with only the racing kept in? The scripted parts sucked balls but the racing actually looks good and I wouldn't mind being able to just watch those bits without being interrupted by really bad sex jokes and lazy Bigfoot puns for most of the "show".
One like is one brain cell monster talk gets back
Im gonna need alot of likes then
tbh wrestling shouldn't be compared to monster trucks given it's a completely different sport
I won't knock WCW for bringing out their own trucks for promotional purposes but bringing storylines into monster trucks and trying to make it into what wrestling is should *never* be done
There are certain parallels.
This is interesting, good stuff 👏
The racing and all was fantastic, but all of the other stuff was totally unnecessary . Referring to the storyline, so call acting, not so funny humor and some of the camera angles. Would have been a good show and race if it wasn’t for all of that.
Until you find out the racing was rigged. Great track. Stupid gimmicks. No need for any of it
@@bigyodatheman
Lol, definitely not the first time a monster truck race was rigged, I I know it was set up. It’s had to go along with the storyline. The Scorpion crash was definitely not planned, it just happened.
@@bigyodatheman as if the racing being rigged is anything new lol
somewhat different thing but shall we take a gander at Monster Jam from 2000-2003 when Tom and Dennis would win freestyle just by coming out for all of 10 seconds and wrecking instantly lol
@@theunhingedgamer3762 Last I saw Tom and Dennis all won freestyles while completing their time except for Houston 2001 where Tom hit the bus sideways
@@theunhingedgamer3762 Freestyle and racing are on different platforms. And it's one thing to have favoritism for your own trucks (like monster jam) and an outright prefilled bracket.
Not giving monster jam a pass, but this was a different level.
Monster Trux 2000: The New Thirllenium? More like Monster Trux 2000: The Worst Monster Truck Show.
more like Monster Sux 2000

Monster Trux 2000: The Dumpster Fire
I can’t believe chandler was in on this abomination
I remember this well. Even taped it. I think the whole sport went down hill after this. I just wish monster trucks never got into "Entertainment". It could of been taken more serious like any other motor sport like in the 90s
Some people within the industry, fans and others were afraid this would happen...and it did.
Wasn't one of those Bob Chandler himself? lol. I remember in an interview on one of the Bigfoot in Action VHS tapes he was saying he didn't even want to do the first car crush in a stadium because he thought it was too destructive looking and didn't know if he wanted that image.
@@TheR1ckster I believe, to the best of my knowledge, Bob Chandler's refusal to work with SRO/PACE/CC/FELD, whowver was the current owner at that time had to do naming rights, video footage rights, photography rights and so on. Others in the industry would have liked to have seen a legitimate racing series for monster trucks rather than a promoter run event. The pro wrestling style gimmicks and character bodies pretty much signaled the end of monster trucks being taken seriously. Just like pro wrestling, a lot of the names/characters are owned the promotion company themselves. Example WWE. Monster Jam owns Grave Digger. NHRA"s Championship Drag Racing Seies has race teams ahow up, qualify and earn the right to compete in their series. MJ owns most of their trucks and names. Like a circus going from town to town putting on a ahow.
@@orangecrate5895 I was talking looooong before that. When it was just literally a car crush exhibition and Bigfoot rolled over top of some cars. It was waaay before they started racing. It sounded like he preferred the mud pit, hill climb, and pulling image and was worried the car crushing just made it too destructive looking.
This Show Is A Mediocre Mess! The Announcers Are Awful And The Monster Truck Drivers Being Portrayed As Characters Like Professional Wrestlers Is Stupid! I Like Watching Motorsports Such As NASCAR And Monster Jam And Professional Wrestling Such As WWE And AEW But Adding Monster Trucks And Turing This Show Into Professional Wrestling On Wheels Is A Bad Idea. You Can't Script Monster Truck Shows!
Good God...this monster truck show was a joke and I'm seeing this for the first time.
NOW HOLD ON!! I LOVE Monster Trucks and I LOVE wrestling! And I think it would be AMAZING concept if they brought them 2 together in a show! I mean seriously, Monster jam madness 2 and 64 had WCW trucks in it plus I LOVED it when they would show trucks belonging to the likes of The dungeon of doom, The outsiders, Sting, Goldberg, Medusa, Hollywood Hogan, Macho man Randy Savage, regular Hogan, Nitro, The Undertaker, Stone cold Steve Austin, The NWO and Bret the hitman Hart! ALL of them had GORGEOUS trucks with AWESOME schemes and they raced pretty well! So wrestling and Monster jam go PERFECTLY! YEAH, PERFECTLY!
Didn't expect to hear the Monster Jam: Path of Destruction theme here, but it works quite well.
Ooo man I remember this show. This is really really BAD show. I HATED it 😡😡😡 !!! N this almost ruined monster trucks 😡😡. This was the most stupidest stupidest thing ever to be made😡😡
where the event was held ?
Sounds interesting to see a monster truck show gone not so well.
Was scripted
@@happyfamily7642 ok
6:11 best memes of all time
Monster Trux 2000 is kinda like the storyline styled format of 1996 Motor Madness and 2000 WCW & WWF.😄
You know, Out of all the scripted nonsense in this event, Why is Dan Patrick's interview after his race with Dr. Bones the only thing that doesn't sound scripted?
I feel like I lost 15 minutes of my life and am now dumber after watching this.
Monster Trux 2000: The XFL of monster trucks.
This was honestly really sad. It’s funny, but at the same time kind of un-pleasuring. Especially with the whole sex remark….. don’t think that slogan belongs in monster trucks. The whole scripting thing makes it absolutely non-watchable. Once you realize everything you’re seeing was laid out thoroughly.
Don't forget about Dusty Rhodes when he was in Florida acting with the monsters trucks in the swamp
One of the monster truck shows of all time
This video reminds me of S1apSh0es and his worst NASCAR race ever video
I can't believe I didn't know about this hardboiled egg fart of a show, thankfully they quit while they were ahead.

“I NEVER EVEN HEARD OF THIS”!!!!!

*JUST NO; DAN RUNTE; NO*😅😅😅😅😅😅
The scary thing is this was the first ProMT Show…
Hey you know what monster.truck show you should do. Was the second bad story line that was done on the 1998 USA monster truck show. That was bad n that ruined that series.
Remember the snake bite-Bigfoot wrestling styled videos. So cheesy
True n one time when they had Snake Bite and Bigfoot at the Pontiac Silver done. I remember it was in 1992. They had Colt Cobra come over and beat Andy brass up while he was doing is interview. After Bigfoot won that night. I was there that night to.
3:10 6:11 7:35 imao while watching this in school......
This show doesn't like a normal monster truck show. The script is just weird, and so many unrelated stuff are in it, like holding two girls, which actually fits the "lust" word (??). The typical script of a character with trouble getting back and taking the win is not that interesting. Thank u for helping me to get a summary instead of watching this full show.😶
This video released on the month and number of day of Wolfwalkers!
Happy 2nd Anniversary Wolfwalkers!
Whats the song at 2:40
Only One FR from Monster Jam Urban Assault.
Well, I have absolutely ZERO desire to watch this anytime soon. Thank you for posting this what an absolute dumpster fire from an entertainment perspective & just a dumpster fire ALTOGETHER. I still stand firm that Monster Jam Manchester 2019 was an absolute atrocity BUT....This....This should've just never happened. 😂
I remember watching this as a kid.
Man I remember i was like 10 probly like 2001 or 2002 my parents took me to see the amta tour and it was horrible lol(American monster truck association)
This show is worst and cringey than getting COVID-19. Still great video
Big Daddy is Peter Cullen right?
5 year old me was so mad seeing bigfoot destroyed
Is the dr bones monster truck still around
no it's retired 💀
Of course it was in Florida.
I saw this as a kid. And honestly? Didn't give 2 shits about the story aspect. All I cared about was the racing action.
Wow I remember watching the on a Friday night as a kid
Was that Wee Man as.....I'm not even gonna repeat that name...
They should have just had a truck named big Foot Fetish...
I feel like there was another scripted show similar to this. I can't remember what that was called.
I loved when they did the tug of war, truck be humans, great stuff.
I like monster truck shows and other motorsports being unscripted/not scripted.
I'd watch that
Do in the next vid what show have most crashes
If were making pro wrestling comparisons... then This was the XPW of monster truck shows.
This is worse than I could have imagined
I thought I had hallucinated this show.
You think this is bad? I’m a drag racing enthusiast and the movie Fast Company is way worse then this show. The ending has a Funny Car crash into a plane that causes the plane to crash and explode in the pits. This movie was made in the late 70s and it has the usually girlfriend and team owner drama storyline.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooof
I mean that is an actual movie. This was trying to present itself as real racing series (keep in mind, wrestling was also still presenting itself as real at the time too).
@@colten53 ok and this was a tv show that had a script so what’s the difference? The Fast Company movie actually used real NHRA drivers in that movie for the driving scenes and it presented itself as a drag racing movie from that era. I think we can agree both are bad but until I see Monster Truck crash into an airplane and that plane crashes into the crowd I think Fast Company is worse but that’s my opinion but you would have to see it.
Yeah, but that wasn't presented as a real racing event
@@mattcaporuscio6956 They presented it as a real race. That's the difference.
Faith worse than DEATH
I hope they never attempt this again😐
If it was the worst why was the first clip “a good race”
ITS LIKE having WHAT NOW
Geez this is like Vince Russo type stuff here with this show.
Those trucks got worked like a government mule
I've never seen this show before but it looks so bad yet very laughable!
It was so bad you love it well the racing parts!
Is Big Daddy the My Pillow guy?
the title should be changed from the worst show to the dumbest show
I remember this
What were they thinking
*sighs*
“Why did I choose to review this….”
Epic
I do think this show would have been good if runtey didn’t be this weird character like in this video
truly one of the monster truck shows of all time
NGL as a wwe and monster jam fan this is the most pathetic show ive ever seen
6:47 bro wtf💀💀
Well, this was monster truck show
