2004 Smackdown was untouchable. period.

That best of 5 series between Booker T & John Cena meant something to me!

You had to see the backstage promo in this classic clash.. those were epic.

Here Comes The Pain captured this era so perfectly it makes no sense

The match lineups alone would get me so hyped. 2 hours of pure entertainment 🙂‍↕️

Nothing less then a PPV

I am begging you to go back and actually watch this shit weekly and the Smackdown exclusive ppvs of 2004 instead of cherry picking good matches. This was an ass year for Smackdown post brand split.

🐐ed era

Back when both brands had their own identities like it’s weird seeing Triple H on a single SmackDown! episode. 😆

🔥🔥🔥

Early 2004 SMACKDOWN was untouched After Mania SMACKDOWN started to suck

For every RVD, Rey, Eddie, Booker, Angle and Cena, you had: JBL's dreaful reign Orlando Jordan The stupid Cabinet Rene Dupree Kenzo Suzuki Both listed above as tag champions ffs. Luther Reigns Heidenreich Cherry picking this as always.

People saying this was the worst year in Smackdown history like Jack Swagger didn’t carry big gold in the 2010s????

Revisionism, this year was ass

good ol’ days

Missed those move graphics in Smackdown, Raw, PPVs and more!

Maybe smack down leading up to WM 20 but afterwards Smackdown was in rebuild mode

Lmao you didn’t watch. That year was terrible. It had some good stuff, but overall it was terrible.

More bad than good especially after Mania 20 Brock leaving, top stars such as Benoit, Edge, Matt Hardy, and Shelton Benjamin moving over to Raw, Angle was out with injuries, etc.

God I miss the moving graphics.

I think Edge Should Have Returned And Stayed On Smackdown, Move Christian Over With Trish and Tomko, Would Have Built The Crusierweight division around Charlie Haas after the split with Shelton. Just Freestyling

This clip shows a lot of the same people on different SmackDown’s throughout the year. You either weren’t alive to watch it live or you are writing revisionist history because SmackDown had plenty of bad content during this point in time.

🔥🔥🔥

Good old days 😞

It wasn’t the same after SCSA and Rock left, and Raw sucked until Evolution broke up. Smackdown 03-06 got me back into wrestling during those few years. But Eddie died and it wasn’t the same anymore

They always had some weird stuff happening there. JBL arresting illegals, JBL giving eddie’s mom a heart attack, Kurt Angle getting murdered, Big show getting shot with a tranquilizer gun.

Smackdown post-Wrestlemania XX was absolutely terrible.

Its very unique

@lawrence_greek θυμάμαι είχα δει κάποιους από αυτούς τους αγώνες στο smackdown στο tv magic johnnara

@LewisBradley_

Wasn’t great

2004 was not a good year for WWE lmao. Auto pilot type shit.

DIVAS

Booker T in the store fighting Stone Cold

2003 smackdown is better

I need a rep of this us belt it’s my fav after cena spinner

03 was a good year too for SmackDown
