With Survivor Series only days away, this would be the WWE’s last ditch effort to squeeze the buy rate juice out of it’s viewers… too bad many people have stopped watching Smackdown. Why you may ask? Perhaps because it has lately been a rehash of RAW matches from the previous Monday, or the same ones […]

Smackdown 11/16/12: Buyrates are important, I’m told.
Five Things I’ve Learned About The Wrestling Industry, Pop Culture, and Myself By Reliving The Attitude Era on WWE 13
As it stands right now, WWE 13 is a solid contender for the crown of “Greatest Wrestling Game Ever Made,” a title that’s been firmly held by WWF No Mercy for over a decade. The mechanics of the game are top notch, but the thing that puts this game over the top is the much-touted […]
Smackdown 11/06/12
Smackdown on Tuesday? Hmm… WWE are you sure you want to do this? You want to go up against the US Presidential Election? You want to go up against the drop day release of Halo 4, one of the most anticipated video games of 2012? Will I even finish this review on Tuesday? All questions […]
Smackdown 11/02/12
Coming off a stinker of a PPV, the WWE has decided to try to salvage the product. In all fairness, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and it would appear that almost every single member of the IWC is visually challenged. That’s the P.C. way to say fucking blind, right? Just kidding, most […]
Smackdown 10/26/12: Hell in the/a Cell Go Away Show
Sweet Jeebus, there is a PPV on Sunday and this is the WWE’s last ditch effort to convince you to pay for it. After battling the ratings challenge of this month, including going up against the NFL, MLB playoffs, infomercials, and the Presidential debates, you’d think they’d treat this show like it meant something. But […]
Smackdown 10/19/12
Here we are, once again. Smackdown time. What type of show will we get with a kind-of-returning Jerry Lawler? Probably one involving a robot in the main event against a concussion victim? You guessed it, let’s hop to it shall we?
Smackdown 10/12/12: MC Entire Drew
Hey Meltzer! What did you think about Smackdown this week? Are you EVEN Dave Meltzer? As clear and concise as always… 🙂 Well, I guess I better figure out what happened myself. Figured I should use the two LOLZ I made this week for something other than making people smile on facebook, no? Hopping time!
Smackdown 10/05/12: Turkey Day Weekend (unless you’re wrong)
As the world turns it’s attention to Big Bird, and MLB playoffs, or the accurate celebration of Thanksgiving, the WWE is a busy beaver. RAW went head to head with a huge NFL game. The debuting Main Event program in the US market would contend with Presidential Debates and Triple Crown feats. What a great […]
Smackdown 09/28/12
Since I tend to grab the non-spoiler match card before writing this, it gives me an idea of what type of suffering I am about to enter into. And dear lord, this one looks redundant and bad. Let’s see if the actual show delivers regardless, shall we? Resident ThinkSoJoE was at this event, he might […]
Smackdown 09/21/12
Sigh. What can I say? Night of Champions was actually really good. Nobody had a near-death experience on RAW, you would think all is right in the world. But sadly no, see the NHL is locked out. Yes, this is a wrestling site, true. But, man I share the sentiments of many fans who have […]
