Eddie hears Chyna is going to be on the Playboy cover. The same Eddie who spent months praising his own security and confidence and pride in her. The reaction is immediate and completely inconsistent. Tommy Blacha and Rob Pasbani recap the September 11, 2000 edition of WWF Monday Night Raw, live from Phoenix, Arizona, two weeks before Unforgiven.Triple H draws Jericho as his surprise opponent and they run a fast, heated match before X-Pac runs in for the DQ. Triple H shoves him off and nobody explains anything. The DX dissolution continues, unaddressed. Later, in the Kurt Angle vs T&A match, Stephanie sneaks out despite Triple H's explicit instructions, and what follows is Tommy's unlikely standout of the night, a Looney Tunes sequence involving all three performers that works entirely because the execution is crisp and the performers are that good.Tazz, after getting knocked out by a David Hasselhoff portrait, grabs the mic and says exactly what everyone has been thinking. He can't compete with Lawler's political power. Nobody wants him here. The outsider is tapping out. Tazz has become just another victim of the WWF. The hosts find it oddly engaging.Please support the show, and join our brand new Patreon, featuring watch-alongs for classic matches.

Triple H and Stephanie are finally reconciling backstage when there's a knock on the door. It's the police, responding to a spousal abuse complaint. Triple H gets put in the car. Mick Foley runs up asking what about his main event. Tommy Blacha and Rob Pasbani recap the August 31, 2000 edition of WWF SmackDown, live from the Crown Coliseum in Fayetteville, North Carolina.The show opens with Stephanie explaining her whereabouts since SummerSlam, but Angle immediately counters with footage of Chyna and Triple H's hug on Raw, then footage of Chyna tending to Triple H after their match. He accuses Triple H of domestic violence, Chyna comes to the ring to defend herself, and Angle gives her the Angle Slam. Tommy and Rob call it A+ soap opera from start to finish.With Triple H in a police car, the main event becomes Eddie vs Angle one-on-one, Chyna in Eddie's corner and Stephanie forced into Angle's. Angle cheats to win using the IC title belt. Chyna beats up Angle post-match, turns to face Stephanie, who tries to talk her way out. Chyna grabs her by the hair and DDTs her to one of the loudest pops of the night.Other major discussion points include:Edge and Christian mock Monday's mini Hardies in a promoAl Snow pins Saturn with a dragon sleeper submission to win the European Championship in a match involving Head, a stopped pinfall by Teddy Long, and a finish nobody saw comingUndertaker vs Benoit for the number one contendership ends by disqualification when Kane interferesKaientai get caught laughing at the Dudleys' TLC losses, leading to the APA costing the Dudleys the match before the Dudleys table Funaki as a receiptTrish Stratus shows up to Val Venis demanding respect, Val tears into her, telegraphing his turn to Right to CensorTommy covers Sunday Night Heat: Crash Holly, Dean Malenko, Kane's mask promo targeting The Rock, and what happened to T&A and the APAJust announced!

Chyna knocks on Triple H's door to check on him after SummerSlam. They share a platonic hug. Eddie Guerrero walks in, shoves Triple H, and says "That's my mama." Tommy Blacha and Rob Pasbani recap the August 28, 2000 edition of WWF Monday Night Raw, live from Greensboro, North Carolina, one night after SummerSlam 2000.Triple H opened the show stranded in the parking garage, waiting for Stephanie who hasn't been seen since he accidentally hit her the night before. Kurt Angle comes to the ring and accuses him of domestic violence, then casually mentions his concussion is coming back to him. He remembers being in a hotel lobby after SummerSlam. He wasn't alone. Room A14. Wait, that was Stephanie's room. His memory is a little fuzzy.After Angle goads Eddie into defending Chyna's honor, he ends up running into the match with a steel chair anyway. The annoucers openly wonder whose side Chyna is really on. Tommy and Rob did not see this coming and loved every second of it.Other major discussion points include:Edge and Christian bring out miniature versions of all three TLC teams for their 36-second pose, complete with tiny ladders, tiny tables, and a fight between the mini Hardies and mini DudleysLita defends the Women's Championship against Jackie in the highest-rated quarter hour of the night, then eats an Edge spear post-match in what Tommy and Rob call a real test of whether her SummerSlam rub translated on its ownChyna retains the IC title when Val Venis abandons his Money Shot to yell at Trish Stratus, who had been watching at ringside the entire matchJR grabs a trash can lid and clocks Tazz at ringside, letting Blackman retain the Hardcore title in a feud Tommy and Rob agree never justified itselfThe Rock keeps the WWF title over Kane, but the Undertaker rides in on his motorcycle and choke slams Kane first, teasing a three-way championship programNaked Midian debuts as a streaker in the Al Snow and Saturn mixed tag, wearing nothing but a fanny pack and a thong00:00 Intro and Cold Open: Eddie Guerrero Shoves Triple H Over Chyna00:33 Welcome to Tales from the Attitude Era00:52 Why Raw Aired at 11pm: US Open Tennis and the USA Network Problem1:07 Tommy's Backstage Story: Vince McMahon vs the Dog Show5:01 Post-SummerSlam Booking Philosophy and the Late Start Show6:06 The Chyna and Triple H Reunion: Kayfabe, Reality, and the Real-Life Timeline8:15 Mick Foley Opens the Show in Greensboro / Four Title Matches Announced10:31 Triple H Waits in the Parking Garage / X-Pac and Road Dog Weigh In10:54 Opening Match: Y2J and the Acolytes vs Benoit and T&A16:35 Kurt Angle Accuses Triple H of Abuse / Room A14 Revealed18:40 Triple H Cheap Shots Angle / Chyna and Eddie Watch from Backstage19:03 Intercontinental Championship: Chyna vs Val Venis23:00 Michael Cole Interviews Angle: "I Remember Stephanie's Room"23:42 Right to Censor Promo / Too Cool and Rikishi Dance Segment26:53 Chyna Enters Triple H's Dressing Room29:41 Eddie Guerrero Bursts In: "That's My Mama"31:53 Edge and Christian's Mini TLC Teams Segment36:24 Angle Talks Eddie Into Challenging Triple H36:53 Hardcore Championship: Tazz vs Steve Blackman / JR with the Trash Can Lid41:54 Just Joe Gets Kicked Out / Eddie Barges In and a Match Is Made45:14 Women's Championship: Lita vs Jackie / Edge Spears Lita Post-Match49:14 Kane Promo: No Voice Box, New Monster Heel Direction53:28 Patreon Plug55:38 Chyna and Eddie Backstage Before the Match56:03 Eddie Guerrero vs Triple H1:00:07 Frog Splash Miss / Pedigree Attempt / Angle Runs In with a Chair1:01:04 Chyna Saves Both Men / The Love Quadrangle Is Born1:03:05 Al Snow and Saturn vs Cat and Terry / Naked Midian Debuts1:05:25 Dudleys at WWF New York / The Rock Promo with Kevin Kelly1:06:47 WWF Championship: The Rock vs Kane / The Undertaker Rides In1:09:24 Ratings Breakdown: 4.93 Rating and 11.5 Share1:12:46 Closing Thoughts and Sign-Off Hosted on Acast.

Check Playlist This episode of The Five Count featured an exclusive interview with wresting legend Al Snow. Al is former WWF European Champion, WWF Hardcore Champion and WWF Tag Team Champion. He also worked on the TV show WWF Tough Enough and the Netflix series Wrestlers. During the show he discussed how he made the transition to the acting world, his memories of working in Minnesota's AWA, and his latest movie Learning You. It's in theaters now! During the rest of the show we complained about bluegrass music and rising insurance premiums, Ton explained why he wants to make his own Muppets, and we discussed the filmography of Dick Butkus. He was a giant on the field and on the screen! https://youtu.be/tqmbW9uaV0c?si=KngoagxwLrpo1D8X
All Vince wanted was some coffee… In this episode of Wrasslin' Raw, the boys continue to ride the wave of amazing Monday Night Raw episodes leading to Survivor Series. Mankind takes a step down when he joins Al Snow against the Oddities, and the Headbangers' impersonation of the New Age Outlaws falls flat. The Brood look great in tag action, Kane gets back to basics smearing superstars, and Terri Runnels tries to revive Marlena. How on earth is Val Venis still a babyface?
Dr. Nii-Quartelai is joined by Wrestling Superstar Al Snow to discuss his new film "Learning You."

This week on The Kenny The Sports Guy Podcast, I sit down with the one and only Al Snow — wrestling legend, hardcore icon, trainer of champions, and now actor with his new movie Learning You. We go way past the highlight reels and get into the real stuff: locker room stories, the mindset it takes to survive in pro wrestling, how the business has changed (and how it hasn't), and what today's talent needs to understand if they actually want to make it. Al doesn't sugarcoat a thing — and you know I don't either. We also talk about Learning You — what drew Al to the project, the message behind the film, and how storytelling in movies isn't all that different from storytelling in the ring. Different arena, same psychology. If you're a wrestling fan, a sports fan, or just someone who loves honest conversations with no fluff, this episode is for you. Insight, laughs, hard truths, and plenty of “you won't hear this anywhere else” moments.
As an autistic advocate and OT mom, few films hit as close to home as Learning You, a new autism‑centered movie opening in theaters nationwide on January 16, 2026. This special episode of Adulting With Autism features actor John Wells and director Tyler Sansom, sharing the heart behind a story that follows a father's journey to truly see his autistic son—and himself—through the lens of faith, family, and hard‑earned understanding. Inspired by real experiences of parents raising children with special needs, Learning You highlights family strength, resilience, and the hope that grows when someone finally feels seen. The film is brought to life by a cast and crew that intentionally includes parents and individuals from the autism community, adding rare authenticity to the screen. You'll hear about performances from John Wells (also a real‑life dad to an autistic son), WWE legend Al Snow (grandfather to autistic grandchildren), Caleb Milby, Stacy Haiduk (Days of Our Lives), Daniel Roebuck (Matlock), Cameron Arnett (The Forge), and Read Choi, among others. Directed and produced by Tyler Sansom, with a screenplay by J. Wayne Davidson, Justen Overlander (The Chosen), Sansom, and Brad J. Silverman (Grace Unplugged), this film is more than entertainment—it's a mission project. One hundred percent of proceeds go to ACT (Awareness, Connection, Touch), a nonprofit supporting parents of children with autism and other special needs, making every ticket a form of practical support as well as representation. In this episode, we talk about: How Learning You was born from real stories of special needs families John's experience as both an actor and a father to an autistic son Tyler's vision of film as a ministry of encouragement for caregivers and parents Why authentic casting and crew representation matter in autism storytelling How proceeds support ACT's work with families in the autism and special needs community If you care about autism acceptance, faith‑informed storytelling, and inclusive media, this episode will give you a behind‑the‑scenes look at a film created with our community at the center. If this episode resonates, follow/subscribe to Adulting With Autism on Podbean, Apple, or Spotify and leave a 5‑star review so more families, caregivers, and autistic adults can find it.

Al Snow is on Celebrity Jobber with Jeff Zito this week. What type of work would Al be doing if not for being a professional wrestler, best known for his tenures in Extreme Championship Wrestling and the World Wrestling Federation/World Wrestling Entertainment? Many celebrities will tell you that if not for that one lucky break or meeting, they would have been working at McDonald's, like Rachel McAdams, or washing dishes like The Rock. In other words, they may have been just a jobber.
Rob Van Dam goes into GREAT detail about him invading WWE with Paul Heyman back in 1997 plus all the intriguing elements surrounding it (including the rumors he was headed to WCW!) Not only that but RVD covers his friendship with Abdullah The Butcher, Eddy Mansfield and one Al Snow story you NEVER heard before!
