WWE Smackdown

“So, what do you want to talk about?“-Cody Rhodes.

I am a lifelong professional wrestling fan. I mostly watch the WWE. One of the shows that provide that fix for me is Friday Night Smackdown.

Smackdown has been all over the place. It was on the CW, UPN, Syfy, FOX among others. It is currently on the USA Network for two hours Friday nights.

The show was named after a line used by “The Rock” who would say that he was going to lay the Smackdown on someone’s candy ass. The Rock would refer to Smackdown as “The Rock’s Show.”

However, it became more than just The Rock’s show over the years. Smackdown was the main show for the Bloodline, one of the best storylines the show ever had with Roman Reigns as the Tribal Chief leading his family in a power struggle with the good guys.

Smackdown has been seen as the 2nd tier show, behind Monday Night RAW, but there were many times where Smackdown exceeded its sibling show.

“If you smell…. what the Rock is cookin’!”

We are half way home. 100-51. Tomorrow, we start the top 50.
