the_kiss_army_45 This is a great wrestling show! Great Talent and everything. I don't know if it is as great as Monday Night Raw but it is Second if not tied at first. Like Raw it has lots of great new guys and lots of great old ones. They have new guys such as Randy Orton, Batista , MNM and Older guys such as Bob Orton and Animal. I tune in when I can to watch Smackdown! but sometimes I work on Thursday's. I asked my work to try not to book me Monday nights for obvious reasons. But I recommend this show to any wrestling fan who is in for a good watch of some great professional wrestling.10/10

Krakker_Jakk I haven't watch wrestling for years. I've grown out of it, but even today when I hear others say, "Why do you watch wrestling? It's fake!" to others, it still urks me. Being fake is no reason not to watch it. YES IT IS FAKE! But so are sitcoms, soup operas, and just about every other TV (with the exception of those "reality tv" shows, but even some of them are actually fake). Only watch it to enjoy it. Don't let the fact that its fake sway the way you feel about it. It's like not listening to a certain singer because they are gay and letting that be the determining factor, even though they make good music. So who cares if its fake? If a kid wants to believe its real, then just let them. Why spoil the fun for someone?

Big Movie Fan Back in 1999 when WWF Smackdown made it's debut, I had my reservations. How could another top WWF show be a success without cutting into it's own audience who also watched WWF Raw Is War (now Raw) on Mondays (Smackdown is a Thursday programme).However, Smackdown has been a great success. It owes it's existence to Raw which was a revolutionary programme for the WWF (and in turn owes it's existence to Prime Time Wrestling which aired from 1986-1992). In no way can it be considered the little brother of Raw;twin brother is more of an apt description.Just like Raw, Smackdown has always featured PPV caliber matches featuring the top stars such as The Rock and Triple H. Smackdown is a great idea in hindsight because it complements Raw very well.It got even better in 2002. In 2002, the WWE split it's roster in two and sent some stars to Raw and some stars to Smackdown. So now, Raw and Smackdown are two very different programmes. You can be assured that any stars you see on Raw on Monday are not going to show up on Smackdown on Thursday which is good news because you can have too much of a good thing. This is also good because it has given more screen time to the talented mid-card wrestlers. Smackdown in 2002 has featured some truly great matches and I see no sign of it slowing down in 2003.

The-Flaming-Pig This has got to be the best show on wrestling and best sports show ever. Instead of stupid hockey or football which is like 1 match every show, we get like about 6-8 matches, STORYLINES, Humor, Drama and Fun! There is no feeling like Watching Kane Chokeslam (Grab there neck with one hand, lift them up over your head and slamming them on the ground) some Heel (Bad Guy) Right though a table, or Watching Undertaker smack a Chair on Kurt Angle's head and hearing the "SMACK!" echo throughout the arena, or Watching the Rock Give someone the "SMACKDOWN", DDT, ROCK BOTTOM Or People's Elbow or His Famous Spinebuster and Sharpshooter! Watching Matt Hardy Twist someone's neck (Twist of fate) and watch his Brother, Jeff Hardy, Stand on the Corner Step and Give him a Swantom Bomb! Don't miss this show, or the Rock Shall Layeth The Smacketh Down Upon Your Candy-A$#! My Rating: 10/10
