Monster Trux 2000- The New Thrillenium

Monster Trux 2000- The New Thrillenium was a one off event aired on UPN in 2000 which took place at Mesa Park in Fellesmere, Florida. Despite the great racing course (figure eight style course) and truck selection, this is perhaps the most panned event in monster truck history by fans of the sport due to the obvious scripted "drama", the scripted racing and how they portrayed the drivers. What's interesting is despite the obvious wrestling overtones, two previously themed wrestling trucks (Sting and Dungeon of Doom) ran under different names. Mainly due to WCW moving from Bigfoot 4X4 to PACE Motorsports. Another side note, this was Pam Vahle's only televised appearance after her divorce from her husband Mike Vaters as she went by Vahle instead of Vaters which she had for most of her career

The event was racing only, no freestyle was held

Round 1 Racing
Firestone vs. Executioner

Hall had the lead through the inside turn, but as he was outside and Firestone was inside, Tack was able to get by with the win

Winner- Firestone

Afterwards there was a "scene" where it shows a broken Bigfoot although it's clear to see that this truck and Dan's truck were not the same, followed by one of some suited gentleman with a private jet who "owned" Scorpion and Dr. Bonez, and then one of two overly sexualized women going after Dan Runte

Boogey Van vs. Monster Patrol

Once again this race was won in the final turn as Monster Patrol was in the inside, and able to out power Boogey Van for the win

Winner- Monster Patrol

Afterwards was an interview with "Ma Vahle" Pam's "mother and owner" of Boogey Van (it's unknown as to whether this was actually Pam's mom or a hired actress) and another scene which painted Gene Patterson as not knowing history while a painting was done of Rick

Dr. Bonez vs. Samson

Patrick was behind for the whole race as Rick and the Dr. would score the first race finishing on the outside lane

Winner- Dr. Bonez

After the race was a "tape" which showed Dan Runte "sabotaging" Bigfoot (even though no real damage was shown being done to the truck

Closest race of the night, the win came to Bigfoot in the inside and after the race Scorpion rolled hard cartwheeling the truck onto its lid
