Tommy Blacha and Rob Pasbani recap the September 21, 2000 edition of WWF SmackDown, live from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the final SmackDown before Unforgiven 2000.</p><p><br></p><p>The opening segment puts the entire 40-man roster around the ring while Foley plays amateur detective. Rock denies running over Austin with a Swedish Chef impression. Triple H defends himself. Angle says maybe it was SA Rios. Xpac accuses Jericho. Undertaker arrives to a big pop. Brawl. The hosts agree this works. The gay panic jokes Triple H keeps making backstage do not.</p><p><br></p><p>Eddie Guerrero comes out with roses, delivers a speech about how Chyna is a superstar and he is nothing, reveals her Playboy cover for the first time, and gets on one knee. The crowd chants \"just say no.\" She says yes. The hosts discuss whether this storytelling decision serves Chyna or undermines her.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Please support the show, and join our brand new Patreon, featuring watch-alongs for classic matches. </strong></p><p><strong>You also get these episodes uncensored and one day early!</strong></p><p><strong>Please subscribe at </strong><a href=\"https://patreon.com/talesfromtheattitudeera\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>https://patreon.com/talesfromtheattitudeera</strong></a></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Other major discussion points include:</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><ul><li>Shane McMahon makes a surprise return two months after Blackman knocked him off a scaffold at SummerSlam and says he'll reveal who ran over Austin at Unforgiven; Triple H hears it, turns to Stephanie, and points out Shane said he was \"all alone\" in the hospital</li><li>Jeff Hardy wore Sting facepaint as a kid and called himself the Wolverine; Edge and Christian found old footage and screened it in a dark room with a projector, then attacked the Hardys with chairs</li><li>Al Snow represents Spain as European Champion with a Ricardo Montalban portrait, a pinata, and a red cloth; the Hardcore title match collapses under 247 rules and Blackman wins by kicking a garbage can into Taka's face</li><li>Jericho and Lawler vs Xpac and Tazz ends in a DQ when Tazz chokes Lawler with a strap; the stipulation that those two couldn't touch before the pay-per-view is never acknowledged as lifted</li><li>Too Cool forces a reluctant four-man dance on both the Acolytes and the Dudleys; Bradshaw holds out longest</li><li>SmackDown Your Vote: 90,000 registered, and they give you the real number, not 100,000</li></ul><p><br></p><p>Chapter Marks</p><p>00:00 Cold Open</p><p>00:28 Welcome / Milwaukee / SmackDown 9/21/2000</p><p>01:55 Show Overview</p><p>03:06 Opening Segment / Who Ran Over Austin?</p><p>06:39 Triple H Defends Himself / Gay Panic Analysis</p><p>09:08 Angle / Xpac Accuses Jericho / Stephanie Blamed</p><p>11:32 Undertaker Arrives / Brawl</p><p>14:18 Val Venis vs Scotty 2 Hotty</p><p>17:20 Backstage: Triple H / Greg Luganis Jokes</p><p>22:48 Hardys Promo / E&amp;C Dark Room</p><p>24:19 Al Snow (Spain) vs Steve Blackman</p><p>27:54 Austin Up Next / SmackDown Your Vote</p><p>32:34 Austin Pre-Tape</p><p>33:23 Shane McMahon Returns</p><p>35:09 Triple H Catches Stephanie in a Lie</p><p>37:32 Jericho and Lawler vs Xpac and Tazz</p><p>39:42 Chyna Confronts Eddie Backstage</p><p>40:41 Eddie's Apology / Chyna's Playboy Cover</p><p>44:16 Eddie Proposes / Chyna Says Yes</p><p>48:10 Acolytes / RTC / Too Cool Dancing</p><p>49:41 Main Event</p><p>52:07 Gay Panic Spot / Undertaker's Motorcycle</p><p>53:31 Angle Slam and Sledgehammer</p><p>54:11 Angle Kisses Stephanie / \"Who's Crying Now?\"</p><p>57:10 Final Thoughts / Patreon</p><p>59:11 Sign-Off</p>","author_name":"Tommy Blacha & Robert Pasbani"}
