Podcast appearances and mentions of Paul Heyman

Shot of Nostalgia: The SmackDown Six Era rolls on with your host Acefield Retro, and this week we are stepping into one of the most important stretches of the entire project. Episode 5, titled Eddie Ascending, covers February through July 2003. This is the moment when SmackDown did more than outperform Raw in the ring. It found its emotional core. WrestleMania XIX proves that the blue brand is the company's true in-ring backbone. The United States Championship returns and gives the midcard real purpose. Eddie Guerrero moves out of the tag ranks and becomes the heart of WWE. We begin at No Way Out 2003. Brock Lesnar and Chris Benoit are placed in a 2 on 3 handicap match after Edge's sudden neck injury forces him off television. The entire structure of SmackDown changes overnight, but from that uncertainty comes a turning point. Lesnar and Benoit fight from underneath, Team Angle grows into something special, and the rivalry between Lesnar and Kurt Angle begins to intensify just weeks before WrestleMania. From there we head into WrestleMania XIX, a main event that almost collapses before it happens. Kurt Angle is wrestling with a severe neck injury that should have kept him out entirely. Brock Lesnar nearly lands on his head attempting the Shooting Star Press. Somehow the match still becomes one of the most dramatic finishes of the era. Brock leaves as champion. Angle proves again that he is superhuman. Despite injuries and constant reshuffling, SmackDown stands tall as WWE's true wrestling showcase. After WrestleMania, the story shifts to Eddie Guerrero. The booking becomes chaotic, but Eddie thrives when things get messy. His partnership with Tajiri looks random at first, but it quickly becomes inspired. We take a closer look at their Tag Team Championship run, including a complete watch along of the June 26, 2003 Madison Square Garden match against Roddy Piper and Sean O'Haire. The match captures everything special about this period. Nostalgia, comedy, wild character energy, and athleticism all blend together. Holding the titles gives Eddie the opportunity to show every piece of who he is. The humor, the intensity, the timing, and the emotion are all there. The second half of the episode focuses on the return of the United States Championship. Stephanie McMahon brings the title back to SmackDown, instantly giving the midcard a new sense of identity. The tournament becomes a showcase for Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit. Their Vengeance 2003 final is a 20 minute battle filled with technique, grit, creative shortcuts, and a major surprise from Rhyno. Eddie wins the championship with the Frog Splash, and the title immediately feels meaningful again because Eddie makes everything he touches feel important. We also explore the early signs of tension between Eddie and Chavo. Chavo's frustrations build quietly as Eddie's star begins to rise even higher. These small moments begin the emotional story that eventually leads to Chavo's turn later in 2003. It is layered and human and exactly the kind of storytelling that defined this era. Alongside the on screen events, we take a wider look at the company through the Wrestling Observer newsletters. Paul Heyman is quietly removed from creative. The injury list grows longer every week. WWE struggles to commit to a consistent style. Evolution never forms the way it was intended. Goldberg arrives and immediately loses momentum. Nostalgia and shock television fill airtime, while SmackDown continues to stand out through strong wrestling and grounded, character driven stories. Eddie's rise, the renewed importance of the United States Championship, and the remarkable depth of the midcard give the brand stability during a turbulent period. By the time we reach the summer of 2003, SmackDown is no longer simply the house that the SmackDown Six built. It becomes the place where Eddie Guerrero's redemption arc turns into the emotional heartbeat of the entire Ruthless Aggression era. Fans begin to see him not only as a great performer but as someone who could eventually lead the company.

Shot of Nostalgia: The SmackDown Six Era continues with your host Acefield Retro as we revisit the stretch where SmackDown quietly became the best wrestling show in the world. Episode 4: The Golden Age of Tag Team Wrestling covers November 2002 through January 2003, the period when Paul Heyman's system reached perfect balance. Every story connected, every match mattered, and SmackDown had evolved into a complete wrestling ecosystem that thrived on craft, chemistry, and trust. It begins on the November 7 episode of SmackDown when Edge and Rey Mysterio finally defeated Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit in a two out of three falls match for the WWE Tag Team Titles. The match ran twenty four minutes and delivered a level of teamwork and precision that elevated the entire division. Just ten days later at Survivor Series 2002, Los Guerreros seized the spotlight by outsmarting both teams in one of the most celebrated triple threat tag matches of the decade. Their victory represented everything that made this era special. Eddie and Chavo's mix of wit, charisma, and timing made them the emotional center of SmackDown. This week's episode includes a special watch along of that match as we relive every moment of how they captured gold and redefined tag team storytelling. From there the show only gained momentum. On December 5, Angle, Benoit, Edge, and Eddie Guerrero met in a fatal four way elimination match that tied every rivalry together and showed how deeply Heyman's creative system was working. By the end of December, Team Angle had arrived. Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin debuted on December 26 as Kurt Angle's chosen proteges, a pair of amateur wrestling standouts who brought a new layer of technical excellence to the brand. That arrival carried the SmackDown philosophy into the next year. The run reached its peak in January when Benoit and Edge faced Team Angle and Kurt, leading directly into the Royal Rumble 2003 where Kurt Angle defended the WWE Championship against Chris Benoit in a match that remains one of the most respected in company history. We also look at the wider picture through the Wrestling Observer newsletters from late 2002 that captured just how different SmackDown's approach was compared to Raw. While Raw was relying on shock segments that turned viewers away, SmackDown was earning loyalty through clarity and consistency. The Observer also documented the behind the scenes chaos surrounding Hulk Hogan's negotiations with Vince McMahon. Hogan had been planned to return for Survivor Series against Brock Lesnar but refused to lose to him again. The standoff left Lesnar without his expected opponent and forced creative to shift focus, which in turn gave SmackDown's tag division more room to shine. It was the kind of unintended consequence that helped the blue brand rise even higher. Fans made their preference clear. Ratings climbed, crowd reactions intensified, and SmackDown became the heartbeat of WWE's weekly television. By early 2003, SmackDown was not competing with Raw anymore. It had become its own force. Every match carried meaning, every performer felt essential, and every story flowed naturally. This was the golden age of tag team wrestling, a time when structure, emotion, and athletic storytelling defined an entire generation of WWE television.

The DeLorean's still running blue, and this week it lands in October 2002, the point where SmackDown stopped experimenting and started executing. In Episode 3 of Shot of Nostalgia: The SmackDown Six Era, we look back at No Mercy 2002, the night Paul Heyman's vision for wrestling took full shape. SmackDown had found its rhythm. While Raw chased spectacle, SmackDown focused on structure, timing, and storytelling. It became a show built around wrestling that felt alive and purposeful. The SmackDown Tag Team Championship Tournament showed exactly what that approach could do. Each team brought something different to the table. Angle and Benoit were reluctant partners whose precision outweighed their egos. Edge and Mysterio wrestled with emotion and energy that connected instantly with the crowd. Eddie and Chavo Guerrero mixed pride and deceit into something that felt effortless. We'll walk through the full month of October, from Edge and Rey's semifinal win over Simmons and D-Von, to Angle and Benoit's tense victory against Los Guerreros, and finally to the No Mercy 2002 finals. Angle and Benoit versus Edge and Mysterio remains one of the most complete tag matches WWE has ever produced. Every tag mattered, every transition meant something, and when Edge finally tapped to the Ankle Lock, the audience clapped because they understood what they had seen. We'll also revisit the aftermath, when the handshake between Benoit and Angle turned to chaos, the trophy broke, and Los Guerreros stepped in to take advantage. In that moment, the tag division reset, and SmackDown's golden run officially began. We're also doing a full watch-along of the No Mercy 2002 Tag Team Finals. Sync up the match, press play, and experience it with us as it happened. By the end of October 2002, SmackDown wasn't chasing Raw anymore. It was proving what weekly wrestling could be. More than two decades later, you can still see its fingerprints in AEW's tournament storytelling, WWE's renewed focus on the ring, and how modern wrestling builds from match to match. No Mercy wasn't about nostalgia. It was proof that the system worked. Episode 3 drops Friday at 7 PM ET. Join us for the full breakdown and watch-along.

Raven shares why he demanded a “warts and all” story when it came to his new documentary, Nevermore: The Raven Effect. He explains how insecurity shaped his early career, what really happened when he walked away from Vince McMahon and the WWF office, and how five minutes of “divine inspiration” created the Raven character. He and filmmaker Geordie Day talk about the wild reality of ECW in the '90s, and why the Dreamer feud, Sandman storyline, and Crucifixion angle worked so well. Raven also recounts the truth about his relationship with Paul Heyman, his favorite episodic stories from Portland, the WrestleMania 17 golf-cart fiasco, the frustrations of WCW and the Flock, the chair-shot debate with Dreamer, the real story of Shane McMahon staying at his house, and the ending beat of the film that Raven loves the most.

Wrestling has been uneventful lately, but recent developments on SmackDown have sparked interest.Drew McIntyre is being positioned as a key member of "the Vision" stable, possibly replacing Seth Rollins.Drew has lost many matches in the past, but aligning him with Paul Heyman and others could revitalize his character.Bronson Reed is being elevated and is no longer treated as a secondary character.WWE often struggles to build multiple stars at once, focusing too much on one or two at a time.The Bloodline and Judgment Day stables succeeded because every member had a role and story.There's skepticism about WWE's long-term planning, especially with sudden changes due to injuries.Merchandise and branding are a big focus, sometimes at the expense of storytelling.Judgment Day members are likely to become babyfaces soon due to their popularity.Managers are lacking in WWE; bringing back more managers could help talent who struggle with promos.The women's division is giving midcard titles to less experienced but marketable wrestlers.Some matches and segments (e.g., Maxine Dupree vs. Becky Lynch, Jade Cargill's push) are criticized for prioritizing looks over in-ring skill.Ticket and merchandise prices are rising, but many feel the product quality isn't keeping up.Nostalgia acts (like John Cena) are used to boost interest, but there's concern about what comes after.The show's structure sometimes puts the biggest moments at the start, making the rest feel less important.There's debate about past booking decisions, like John Cena's role in the Nexus storyline.New talent like Jevon Evans shows promise, but there's concern about how WWE will develop them.The episode ends with thanks to listeners and promotion for related shows.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wrestling-soup--1425249/support.

The DeLorean's still parked under the blue lights — and in Episode 2 of Shot of Nostalgia: Season 7 – The SmackDown Six Era, we're stepping into the stretch where SmackDown built its identity. Acefield Retro breaks down Blueprint of Greatness, when Paul Heyman's creative direction started to take form. By late 2002, Raw leaned on promos and spectacle, while SmackDown focused on matches that told stories and defined characters. This episode features a watch-along of Edge vs. Eddie Guerrero (No DQ, 9/26/02) — a match that shows exactly how the SmackDown Six style came to life: physical, precise, and built on timing and trust. Also covered: • Angle vs. Mysterio at SummerSlam 2002 — A showcase of what WWE's new in-ring standard could be. • Angle & Benoit vs. Edge & Rey (8/29 SmackDown) — The match that revealed the SmackDown Six chemistry. • Los Guerreros form as a team — Eddie and Chavo add humor, arrogance, and cohesion to the division. • Tag Team Championship Tournament announcement — The moment Heyman's structure became official. By September, SmackDown wasn't trying to compete with Raw — it had its own rhythm, purpose, and storytelling approach. Presented by The Turnbuckle Tavern, where nostalgia meets conversation.

CM Punk defeated Jey Uso to capture the World Heavyweight Championship, kicking off the Era of Punk. This begs the question… What's next for CM Punk as world champion? Following his table-setting promo on Raw, we discuss and debate the outlook for Punk's run, including potential opponents and if he will carry the title to WrestleMania. In other news, Jade Cargill dominated Tiffany Stratton to capture her first WWE Women's Championship. Did WWE make the right decision shifting the title off of Tiffany and on to Jade, and what lies ahead for Jade Cargill as champion? Also announced at SNME, John Cena's final opponent will be decided through a 16-Man Tournament, fondly named The Last Time Is Now Tournament that kicks off next week on Raw in Boston. The tournament will include talent from Raw, Smackdown and NXT, as well as talent from outside of the WWE bubble. We discuss the first 4 names announced on Raw, as well as potential candidates for the tournament. Finally, we discuss the opening and closing segments of Raw, leading to Logan Paul assisting The Vision in attacking CM Punk and Jey Uso to close out the show, leaving a number of questions open.

Wrestling Uncensored Episode 755: Saturday Night's Main Event PreviewDave Simon and Johnny North deliver a comprehensive breakdown of tonight's WWE Saturday Night's Main Event from San Antonio's Frost Bank Center. The spotlight shines on CM Punk vs Jey Uso for the vacant World Heavyweight Championship, with Dave presenting a compelling theory about Jey's heel turn and alliance with Paul Heyman and Bronson Reed that would position him as Roman Reigns' ultimate nemesis.The hosts analyze Cody Rhodes' WWE Undisputed Championship defense against Drew McIntyre, made more dangerous by SmackDown's new stipulation: if Cody is disqualified or counted out, he loses the title. This restriction eliminates Cody's ability to take shortcuts while giving Drew multiple paths to victory.Additional matches include Tiffany Stratton defending the Women's Championship against Jade Cargill, and Dominik Mysterio's Intercontinental Championship triple threat against Penta and Rusev—a match created when Dominik's interference scheme backfired spectacularly.Beyond the match predictions, the conversation explores John Cena's polarizing retirement tour with Johnny North delivering brutal criticism of Cena's current in-ring performance. The hosts discuss Kit Wilson's unexpected singles push following Elton Prince's injury, suggesting Pretty Deadly's tag team run is finished, and WWE's missed opportunity to embrace Halloween on SmackDown despite perfect set design.The AEW Dynamite discussion focuses on Hangman Adam Page's creative Tony Schiavani disguise to attack Samoa Joe—a concept the hosts loved but felt suffered from execution issues that diminished the segment's impact. Chris Jericho's anime character costume also drew mixed reactions.Dave and Johnny close with industry observations including confusion about Saturday Night's Main Event's Canadian broadcast (YouTube access only), TKO's Nashville cross-promotion weekend with both WWE and UFC, Nick Khan's World Series appearance contrasted with Vince McMahon's work obsession, and Ronda Rousey's controversial recent comments about Khabib Nurmagomedov and Joe Rogan.Unfiltered wrestling analysis from the Combat Sports Authority.
