Shot of Nostalgia: The SmackDown Six Era rolls on with your host Acefield Retro, and this week we're stepping into one of the heaviest, most emotionally loaded chapters of the whole project. Episode 7: The Legacy Run covers January through March 2004 — the stretch where the SmackDown Six philosophy stops being "just" a great TV formula and becomes the backbone of WWE's entire main-event scene. Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero, the two workhorses who defined this era between the ropes, finally break through the ceiling and hit the very top of the industry at the exact same time. We start at the 2004 Royal Rumble, a one-match show that actually delivers exactly what WWE needed. Paul Heyman stacks the deck, forces Benoit into the #1 slot, and dares him to fail. Instead, Benoit puts together a marathon performance: 61 minutes, six eliminations, and a finish built around pure will, dragging Big Show over the top rope in a head-and-arm choke that feels earned instead of cute. Along the way we hit all the key beats that made this Rumble feel alive in the building — Orton's elevation through the Foley feud, Goldberg getting robbed by Brock, Big Show as a real "final boss," and the sense that for once, the obvious story actually got the right payoff. From there, we turn to No Way Out 2004, where Eddie Guerrero walks into San Francisco with three weeks of build… and a lifetime of baggage. We walk through how a thrown-together title program becomes a full redemption story: the SmackDown Rumble that sends Eddie to the title shot, the promo duel where Brock mocks his addictions and Eddie weaponizes his own past, and the infamous mariachi "celebration" that starts as comedy and turns into something dead serious. Then we break down the match itself as a heavyweight title fight built on structure and psychology — Brock's 2002 monster template, Eddie chopping down the base, the STF that flips the crowd from hopeful to believing, Goldberg's spear that protects the champion without stealing Eddie's moment, and the DDT-onto-the-belt into Frog Splash finish that still plays as one of the most cathartic three-counts WWE has ever produced. After that, we head to Madison Square Garden for WrestleMania XX, where the World Heavyweight Championship closes the show for the very first time. We don't ignore the reality of Benoit's crimes or how impossible it is to watch his work the same way after 2007 — that context lives with this match forever. But we also walk honestly through what this main event represented in 2004: the SmackDown Six template blown up to world-title scale. We dig into how the triple threat with Triple H and Shawn Michaels turns a format that usually feels cheap into a 24-minute clinic — the "Let's Go Benoit" crowd, the rotating pairings, the Crossface spot where Hunter literally grabs Shawn's hand to stop the tap, the table bump that buys time for the final act, and the visual of Triple H tapping clean in the middle of MSG. It's the one time in that era where the finish matches the story they told for months. We keep rolling with Eddie Guerrero vs. Kurt Angle from that same night — maybe the most "pure SmackDown" match on the card. This is where we zoom in on everything that made Eddie special at this stage of his career: the improvisation, the timing, the creativity that compensated for a body that had taken way too much punishment. Angle tries to strip the magic away and turn it into a straight amateur wrestling lesson — grinding holds, targeted rib and ankle work, suplexes on a loop — and for most of the match, he succeeds. Eddie's comeback isn't about overpowering him; it's about surviving just long enough to create one opening. We break down the boot spot in detail, why it works as psychology instead of a cheap gag, and how that final small package stacks up as the perfect "lie, cheat, steal" finish without burying Angle for a second. And then we close with the image that defined this era at the time: confetti falling in Madison Square Garden as Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit celebrate together, both holding world titles, both representing a version of WWE where skill and heart could overcome size and politics. Today that shot is complicated, even haunting, because of what would happen in the years that followed — Eddie's death, Benoit's actions. We sit in that discomfort instead of pretending it isn't there, but we also talk about what that night meant in 2004 for fans who had lived through the entire arc of the SmackDown Six: the B-show workhorses finally standing on top of the company they had quietly carried. By the time we're done with early 2004, the SmackDown Six era isn't just about a tag formula or a handful of TV classics. It's a storytelling blueprint — athletic, grounded, character-driven — that bleeds into both brands, reshapes what a WWE main event can look like, and influences everything from peak-era NXT to how AEW builds its big match payoffs today.

Shot of Nostalgia: The SmackDown Six Era rolls on with your host Acefield Retro, and this week we're diving into one of the most transformative stretches of the entire project. Episode 6: The New Standard covers August through December 2003 — the moment when SmackDown didn't just outperform Raw, it redefined what WWE television could be. The original SmackDown Six formula sharpens into something faster, more ambitious, and more confident, and the blue brand starts carrying itself like the true flagship. We open with the match that shattered expectations for what a TV main event could look like: the 60-minute Iron Man Match between Brock Lesnar and Kurt Angle on September 18, 2003. With no September PPV, WWE hands them an entire hour on network TV, and they deliver a masterpiece of strategy, pacing, and physical storytelling. Lesnar wrestles like a cold, calculating monster, even sacrificing a fall early to inflict damage he cashes in later, while Angle brings textbook precision and furious comebacks. It's chaotic, logical, brutal, and brilliant. Brock's 5–4 win establishes him as SmackDown's apex predator and cements the match as one of the greatest in TV wrestling history. From there, we hit the Parking Lot Brawl between Eddie Guerrero and John Cena on August 28, and this week's episode is paired with a full Shot of Nostalgia watch-along of that match. Eddie weaponizes an entire parking lot with the same creativity he brings to a wrestling ring — seatbelts, hoods, roofs, doors — while Cena bumps and sells like a young star fighting to earn his stripes. Eddie bleeds, Cena crashes through a windshield, and the Frog Splash off one car onto another remains one of the defining images of the Guerrero legacy. It's gritty, stylish, violent, pure SmackDown identity — and being able to watch it back together in real time adds a whole new layer to how we talk about its impact. We also revisit Rey Mysterio vs. Tajiri from No Mercy 2003, a match that captures exactly why SmackDown's in-ring output was blowing Raw out of the water. Tajiri's heel turn, complete with red and black mist plus the arrival of Akio and Sakoda, gives the Cruiserweight division the villain it had been missing. Rey brings the explosiveness, Tajiri brings the strikes and swagger, and together they deliver a crisp, high-velocity title match that resets the entire division going into 2004. The rest of this episode is about how the entire brand evolves beneath the surface. Injuries pile up, Heyman's creative voice gets quieter, Goldberg's Raw run exposes WWE's stylistic confusion, and Evolution stumbles behind the scenes. Yet SmackDown stays true to itself — athletic realism, character-driven drama, and a match quality that feels years ahead of the WWE main-event formula. Even as the original SmackDown Six pairings splinter and reform in new combinations, their philosophy — built by Eddie, Edge, Benoit, Angle, Rey, and Chavo — pulses through every show. By December 2003, SmackDown isn't the "other" brand anymore. SmackDown is the new standard.

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.

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.

Shot of Nostalgia is back for Season 7, and we're jumping straight into one of the most important turning points in modern wrestling history. The DeLorean's set for 2002—a year where WWE was trying to figure itself out, and SmackDown quietly stole the show. Acefield Retro kicks things off with The Split & The Spark, covering March through July 2002, when everything started to change. The Invasion had fizzled out, the roster was packed to the brim, and WWE needed a new identity. The solution came in the form of the first-ever Brand Extension. Raw got the spectacle. SmackDown got the wrestlers. Under Paul Heyman's direction, SmackDown became a wrestling-first show built on pacing, precision, and purpose. And at the center of it all were six names—Kurt Angle, Eddie Guerrero, Chris Benoit, Edge, Rey Mysterio, and Chavo Guerrero. Together, they gave the show rhythm, personality, and heart. This episode revisits the early foundations of the SmackDown Six era, including: • The 2002 WWE Draft and how it reshaped the company • Eddie Guerrero's return and redemption match with Rob Van Dam at Backlash • Kurt Angle and Edge turning a Hair vs. Hair match at Judgment Day into a breakout moment for both • Rey Mysterio's WWE debut against Chavo Guerrero and the high-flying spark that made everyone stop and stare SmackDown wasn't supposed to be the show people talked about every week—but it became exactly that. Cleaner finishes, longer matches, and stories that actually paid off. For one summer, wrestling television just felt right again.

Quite possibly the most talked about era in WWE SmackDown history comes from a several month stretch in 2002 brought to us the beloved SmackDown Six. Edge, Rey Mysterio, Kurt Angle, Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero and Chavo Guerrero became even greater stars after being paired with each other week in and week out. They all faced off in a Triple Threat Elimination Match at Survivor Series 2002, which even though that show is historic for many reasons, these six men may have stolen the show on that night in New York City.

Special announcement for the Drawing Heat faithful. Long story short reviews for our two periods (Smackdown Six and Battle For Brooklyn) are on haitus until they can migrate to Peacock. I will be coming out with more content soon.

In this jam packed episode of the Ruthlessly Aggressive Podcast, Jake Williams is joined by Tim Capel to break down the 8/12/02 Raw and 8/15/02 SmackDown. The dudes break down Rock’s excellent work in this run, the well done Triple H/Michaels build, more ascension for the UnAmericans, a slamming Raw main event, pieces falling into place for THE SummerSlam, 3MW insanity, Fake Sports Feel, Lesnar turning his attention to Rikishi, more goodness from the SmackDown Six and much more!   Follow along through this progression through aggression!

In this episode of the Ruthlessly Aggressive Podcast, Jake is joined again by Jennifer Smith to break down the 8/5/02 Raw and 8/8/02 Smackdown. The pair discuss the reveal of Shawn Michaels’ assailant, Sgt. Slaughter trying to defend the USA, a fun BookDust match, a nondescript return for the Hardys, Jericho on Raw, Victoria’s debut, the formation of the SmackDown Six, the big showdown between Hogan and Lesnar, and much more.    Follow along through this progression through aggression!

In our go-home show for Summerslam 02, more tag team action as The Rock and Edge take on Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit in our main event with Brock Lesnar keeping a close eye on the Undisputed Champion. We also see Angle take on Billy Kidman in an attempt to intimidate Rey Mysterio in anticipation for a clash of the titans at the next pay per view. That plus Hurricane and Moore, Matt Hardy version 1, and more!

The Smackdown Six continues to flourish on the way to Summerslam 02 with The Rock and Benoit butting heads and the Next Big Thing having a few words to say about it. We also have the Guerreros debuting for the first time as a tag team and action from Rey, Edge, Kurt Angle and others on this episode of Drawing Heat!

The Smackdown Six Era is already starting to pick up some steam this week, as Smackdown brings us Hulkimania vs Brock Lesnar with an added twist for our main event. Plus a Six Man Tag that features Angle and Eddie Guerrero at the top of their heelish games and just the perfect amount of Paul Heyman sprinkled throughout.

The road to Summerslam 2002 continues on the Blue Brand with Stephanie McMahon, great matches, Stephanie McMahon, a debuting Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit, and Stephanie McMahon! Noticing a pattern here? Our first episode with all of the Smackdown Six officially on the roster and you will not be dissapointed!

The very first episode of Drawing Heat! This series will cover the best booked periods in professional wrestling starting with the Heyman-booked period of Smackdown known as the Smackdown Six Era in 2002. On July 25, 2002 the fallout from Vengeance is felt as Smackdown GM Stephanie McMahon goes head to head with her Raw counterpart Eric Bischoff, Brock Lesnar makes an earth shattering entrance, Rey Mysterio makes his first televised appearance on WWE, an early career John Cena goes up against Test, and an awesome Edge vs Chris Jericho cage match as our main event. Take a listen to begin your journey on some of the best booked wrestling in WWE history!

Die WWE Survivor Series wirft ihren Schatten voraus und Headlock reist zurück in die Vergangenheit dieses Big-Four-Events und bespricht eine klassische Veranstaltung. Die Wahl trafen allerdings nicht wir, sondern unsere Supporter im Unterstützer-Voting. Die Survovr Series 2002 setzte sich deutlich vor den Großereignissen aus den Jahr 1990 und 2007 durch. Die Survivor Series 2002 präsentiert sich als ungewöhnliche Veranstaltung in einer Zeit des Umbruchs bei WWE: Die Attitude-Era war vorüber und man suchte nach einer neuen Identität. Im Zuge der ersten Brand Extension rivalisierten RAW und SmackDown miteinander, wurden damals aber strikter voneinander getrennt als dies heute der Fall war. Im Main Event der Survivor Series 2002 präsentierte RAW-General-Manager Eric Bischoff die erste Elimination Chamber, in der Triple H seine World Heavyweight Championship u.a. gegen Shawn Michaels, Chris Jericho und Rob Van Dam verteidigen sollte. Dazu traf Brock Lesnar auf The Big Show und die SmackDown-Six sollten in einem Three-Way-Tag-Team-Elimination-Match das Team-Gold unter sich ausmachen. Headlock-Host Olaf Bleich und David Kloss von mann.TV nehmen sich diese Veranstaltung vor: Was waren die Hintergründe? Was waren die großen Geschichten? Und überzeugt die WWE Survivor Series 2002 auch heute noch? Zum Abschluss beantworten die Beiden zudem noch eure Fragen zur aktuellen Entwicklung um Roman Reigns, dem derzeitigen WWE-Produkt und den guten, alten Silvesternächten auf DSF.

Weclome, boys and girls, to another episode of The Lawcast. This time our hosts go back to cover Survivor Series 2002, the debut of The Elimination Chamber. This is a loaded show was a fascinating period in WWE history. Brock Lesnar inexplicably loses the WWE Championship to The Big Show. We get an awesome three way tag match from The Smackdown Six. Scott Steiner makes an epic return to WWE. All that, and more, this time on The Lawcast.

WWE SmackDown has really taken a turn for the better in 2003 as Paul Heyman & co turned the SmackDown Six into a really well rounded show. Hulk Hogan is back as Mr America & is a thorn in Vince McMahon's shoes. Vince McMahon makes Mr America take a lie detector test to determine if he is really Hulk Hogan or not & it turns into one of the most memorable segments of all time. Vampiro's new documentary, Nail in the Coffin: The Fall & Rise of Vampiro is out now which goes over his career in WCW and then into his current career working as a producer in Mexico. AEW has a Parking Lot Fight between Proud N Powerful & Best Friends where people bleed & cars get destroyed - it's awesome!
