[05/07] Retro SmackDown: Throwback To The Good Ol' Days

[Cartier Murphy]

using an 80s aesthetic for a show that debuted in 1999 was stupid as fukk... at some point they gotta realize that there is a lot more money in milking late 90s and early 2000s nostalgia at this point.. but good show nonetheless

smackdown has consistently been the best wrestling show on cable since the draft

They know it judging by how they’ve milked the Attitude Era to death and they just started doing it with the Ruthless Aggression era too but yeah, that’s really weird they went with an 80’s aesthetic. Makes zero sense to the brand

I'm just gonna say it

Outside of the first 10 or so seconds

Roman's new theme sucks

I'm just gonna say it

Outside of the first 10 or so seconds

Roman's new theme sucks

It feels like it’s missing something

I was about to ask the same thing. Why were they using pre-1997 logos for “old school” Smackdown? Do they just think their target audience doesn’t pay attention?

 

[TOAD99]

God damn is this her new attire?

I might have to tune in

 

[BlaccSunrise]

Now back to Resident Evil 8.... tonight's sleep I'm gonna be like

Playing in 4K, max settings, on an OLED, lights off, with some headphones on.

yea it should have just been the early smack down theme. I think to Vince throwback means when he was young and not specifically speaking to smack down being young. Which was stupid. But the show was atleast consistent with the 80’s theme.

HAAAAA... if nothin' else, they havin' fun out here with this long dragged out ass feud.

 

[DANJ!]

Someone brought up a good point.... can we go back to the "wildcard" style of Survivor Series matches again with faces, heels and rivals on the same team struggling to get along instead of the "Raw vs SmackDown" format they been lazily booking for the past couple of years?

They only did a wildcard match once, the '95 show... I don't remember another time they did this.

 

[DANJ!]

That's COVID, in ya lungs!

I can't stop laughin'....

10/10
