SmackDown this week was pre-recorded on Monday, August 24th. 

So, we read the spoilers.

And after reading the spoilers, neither of us watched SmackDown. 

But we’ll talk about what we read, and why WWE is being lazy.

Yeah..Greg was right… we can’t have nice things.

We’re in Toronto tonight.

The show wasn’t terrible, until you got to the end. 

It put Greg and Brad in a mood.

Programming Notice - With Taped Shows next two weeks, we’re likely phoning it in too.

We were excited to watch SmackDown this week from Boston.

WWE managed to take that joy and stomp on it.

The first half of the show was pretty great. All things considered.

Then it took a nose-dive off a cliff.

Next week is Toronto, how can WWE make it worse? Tune in to find out.

After a 4 week break, the SmackDaddies are back from their summer break.

This was a 3 match show.

There were about 400 talking segments.

Greg questions his life choices.

While everyone else in the wrestling world is talking about SummerSlam, Brad finally convinced his wife to sit down and talk about her experience at AEW Redemption in Montreal last Sunday night.

She may not know the names of most of the wrestlers—or even entirely understand why they’re fighting—but that doesn’t stop her from having some strong opinions.

We discuss the characters who caught her attention, the parts of the show she enjoyed and what AEW could do differently to attract more casual viewers and a larger female audience.

Along the way, she delivers some surprisingly thoughtful criticism, several hot takes and more than a few good jokes at the expense of wrestlers she can only identify by their outfits, hair and general vibes.

Forget the star ratings. This is the AEW review that actually matters.

SmackDown was taped on Tuesday. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce got married tonight, so WWE gave everyone the night off.

The highlights were a fun Lucha Match and some back stage segments involving R-Truth and company, as well as Danhausen and Matt Ryder.

It wasn’t all fireworks on this July 3rd special, we got a couple of matches that really didn’t hit the spot.

SmackDaddies will be on hiatus until August. You may get an occasional podcast from us, but we’re taking a break due to family/work commitments. Enjoy your summer.
