Former WWF writer Tommy Blacha and co-host Rob Pasbani review a chaotic episode of SmackDown from Oakland, California. Vince McMahon is busy launching the Los Angeles Xtreme for the XFL, leaving the wrestlers to deliver a high-energy show for the WWE fans on the West Coast.
The main event features a brutal No DQ match between Triple H and The Undertaker. Stephanie McMahon attempts to interfere, leading to a massive chokeslam tease before Triple H uses a steel chair to secure the win. Tommy Blacha provides backstage details on the addition of Michael Hayes to the writing team and the grueling travel schedule of the California loop.
Other major discussion points include:
- Steven Richards taking his Right to Censor crusade to the next level by stealing tables from The Dudley Boyz.
- Steve Blackman showcasing his lethal martial arts skills by destroying Crash to retain the Hardcore Championship.
- Chris Benoit defeating Eddie Guerrero and Chyna in a handicap match with an assist from Shane McMahon.
- The Rock making an explosive run-in to save Eddie Guerrero and Chyna from a post-match beatdown.
