#10 WWE SmackDown (2008-2011)
Towards the end of last year, the remaining WWE Raw episodes had been uploaded and they started to bring us new SmackDown episodes from where they had been left in 2002. They boxed off four years in relatively quick succession and that just leaves us with the tiny omission of the SmackDown episodes of 2008-2011.
This covers the switch to HD programming and though these years saw a general decline in all areas for WWE, it is still good to have there, not only for completion sake but for the good storylines that did happen on the show in this period.
Edge was still on top of his game for most of this time and his feuds with both The Undertaker and Alberto Del Rio are definitely worth a watch. We will be able to see the matches that led up to that historic retirement of the Rated R Superstar.
Jeff Hardy was drafted to SmackDown in the middle of 2008 too, even capturing the WWE Championship for the first time in his career at Armageddon 2008. It will be really interesting to live that again, as Jeff Hardy was one of the most charismatic individuals WWE has ever had.
He also then feuded with his brother Matt Hardy and CM Punk, before heading off to pastures new.
Punk’s rise following this would also be included, as his reign as the World Heavyweight Champion and the Straight Edge society were the main focus of SmackDown before he was traded back to Raw.
SmackDown certainly had an entertaining four years and though it wasn’t as enjoyable at the time, as it seemed the product was in decline, it will be nice to go back with a renewed appreciation of the talent that was there and the entertainment that was broadcast during this era.
I do believe this will be on the Network fairly soon and could potentially be the first drop of 2017!
