Smack Daddies

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.

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

With a taped SmackDown, Brad and Greg could watch this at 1.5x (as God intended) and it really wasn’t a bad show.

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.

Alleluia, the two hour SmackDown era has returned. We’re across the pond this week, on a show taped on Tuesday but making you believe it’s Friday.

This show was overall pretty fun. The Danhausen and his Legion of Danhausen, the introduction of “Matt Ryder”, Blake Monroe’s debut, Paige and Nathan Frazer wrestling at home.

The MFTs are done. We highlight a new person on Bloodline Be-Gone. And we prepare you for Night(Afternoon) of Champions.

WWE has made it back to North America (unfortunately), and we’re back to the same old garbage.

If you want to see outside interference (repeatedly), boy do we have the show for you.

Tho, even Greg will admit he enjoyed most of the show (at 1.5x speed), we’re now edging towards the creative vacuum that was WWE in years gone by.

Greg debuts a new segment.

The SmackDaddies doing the second best thing you can do in the afternoon, watching SmackDown.

It’s always great when these shows are done by suppertime.

It wasn’t that bad. Seriously, it really wasn’t.

And yes, we grade these on a curve.

Don’t watch SmackDown.

It’s really not worth it.

After the bloodletting of last week, we’re back to pick up the pieces with Smackdown.

Tonight, we get the introduction of a starky Ricky Saints… yeah that one will be hard to adjust to.

R-Truth providing Fraxiom Tax Planning Advice. We can only assume it’s how to prepare in the event of being future endeavored, and a match.

More Bloodline stuff for some reason.

Miz and Kit setting a trap for Danhausen.

After a weekend in Vegas, a bunch of wrestlers went bust after TKO’s Vegas gamble didn’t pay out. The house always wins, as long as it’s not the House of Black.

Smackdown was barely watchable.

Watch the Danhausen parts of it, that’s really all you need to see.

Next week we’ll give you a recap of the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royale and play everyone's favourite game, “Will Greg Watch It?” as we preview Wrestlemania.

I laughed, I cried, and I groaned while watching SmackDown this week. Guess which happened where.

We start the night with Randy Orton and Cody Rhodes and the realization that Greg was wrong. Because we find out tonight who was counseling Randy on the phone, it wasn’t Kevin Owens. No it was Pat McAfee. This team I’m going to call the Antivirus, with N(Orton) and M(a)cAfee in his corner as faces (or heels?) going into Wrestlemania to take on Cody (who we’re still not sure if he’s a face or a heel...

Jelly Rolled into Pittsburgh and was involved throughout the show.

First we get Randy Orton in a ring, to be confronted by jobber Matt Cardona, who did the only sensible thing and come out and clock Randy in the head with a microphone leading to a match to end the show.

Nick Aldis is enamoured by Tricky Williams, and tells him he has a Mania match, and tells Sami he’s on the outside looking in.

Our first match of the night is the much anticipated, definitely not skipped ov...

Jelly Roll drives by Drew t-boning Jacob Fatu (at least I think?) who is then greeted by people rushing past him to see Drew ripping Fatu’s windshield out and beating him. This is the beginning of Brad’s predicted Peter Griffin and the Chicken segment.

The Freebird MFTs took on R-Priest, and of course the Wyatt’s have to also get involved. At the end of the day, long after the follically challenged R-Truth got a hair cut, we have new Champs.

Danhausen was paid by Candace LeRae to cure Johnny Depressing of his...

Drew quits, and Greg is seriously considering joining him.

The 1085th match involving Wyatt Sicks and MFTs happened, and just when you think we’re moving on from it, they decide to prolong it again. This needs to end.

Jade Cargill and Michin fought in a pretty decent match. But in reality, we really want to see Rhea beat her ass.

Sami “shit disturber” Zayn and Cody interact backstage.

We lost a bet somewhere as we get the Bella Twins on SmackDown. They get involved in the Women’s Tag Champ match wi...

Randy Orton almost causes Greg to fall asleep while driving.

US Open Challenge saw Carmelo Hayes taking on Dr. Wagner Jr. Jr.

We get the formation of the new, greatest Tag Team of all time, R-Priest.

Nia/Lash celebrate their title win, and a we get a contender tag match.

On the men’s side, we get a No. 1 Contender Tag Team Turmoil Gauntlet Match. Milk Carton staples Motor City Machine Guns vs Fraxiom vs Wyatt Sicks vs Los Garza vs R-Priest.

Rhea and Jade talk about how big th...

We are one night away from Elimination Chamber, and apparently the biggest creative priority was figuring out how to get Jey Uso out of the Chamber match and slide somebody else in. And yes… they did it. Because of course they did.

The show was mostly built around that switch, with a whole lot of filler stitched in between like someone trying to pad an essay five minutes before class.

There were a couple of highlights. I won’t lie. A few moments that made me raise an eyebrow instead of lowering my expe...

I’ve got some bad news for you….We’re back again this week to cover this nonsense (thanks Barrett). This show is terrible.

The show continued the build-up to Elimination Chamber, with multiple qualifying matches taking place for both the men’s and women’s Chamber bouts.

Trick Williams won a men’s Elimination Chamber qualifying triple threat against Damian Priest and Carmelo Hayes.

On the women’s side, Kiana James scored a surprise victory over Charlotte Flair and Nia Jax to punch her ticket into the Women’s Elimination Chamber, even th...

We’re back with you for another SmackDown.

Greg isn’t happy his Netflix won’t let him watch this show faster.

Brad and Greg are happy that it’s Tiffy time.

Poetry is the theme of the night.

We like Camels…

This week Brad breaks down SmackDown in true COLE’s Notes fashion — covering everything that happened in under 10 minutes… mostly because, well… not much happened.

This felt like a bit of a speed bump on the road to WrestleMania. Not a bad show — just not a lot of gas on the pedal either.

The good news? We’re still early on the road, so hopefully things pick up quick.

We’re back in beautiful (frozen) Montréal for a two night event. We start the weekend with SmackDown and tomorrow get Saturday Night’s Main Event.

If this was meant to be a polite “go-home” show for Saturday Night’s Main Event, someone forgot to tell SmackDown. There was little on this show to help setup Saturday’s show.

Hopefully things will get better for tonight?

SmackDaddies 231 - Late Declarations

We’re back in Jolly Old’ England for tonight’s Smackdown.

Drew McIntyre came out flexing like the title made him invincible. It didn’t. Randy Orton shut that fairytale down fast, reminding Drew that championships just paint targets on your back — and Orton never misses.

Then the Contenders Tournament kicked off and turned SmackDown into a street fight. No respect, no patience, just bodies flying for a shot at Drew’s gold. Four wins, one Fatal 4-Way next week, and somebody’s getting fed to the champion… or doing the feedin...

We cross the pond, took an Uber and ended up at the Arena in Berlin for an afternoon SmackDown.

First, 3 hours is too long. We started this show when it was still daylight out. That was nice.

SmackDown is officially in chaos, as Nick Aldis announced a loaded No. 1 contender tournament with Orton, Miz, Trick Williams, Damian Priest, Solo Sikoa, Sami Zayn, and Ilja Dragunov.

Giulia’s Women’s U.S. Title reign comes with an asterisk, as Lash Legend shoved Alexa Bliss off the top rope to hand her the win.

The 3 hour Smackdown’s are back… and Brad is actively looking for someone to replace Greg.

We didn’t watch the show this week. Frankly, we recorded this on December 20th. We lie about what we did on Christmas and review the spoilers for the Boxing Day episode of SmackDown. Brad loses power, so it ends abruptly unless we remember to go back and put more in. We reconnect and chat about wrestling we saw this year.

With Greg on special assignment, we call in an old friend. You know the saying: just when you think you're out, they drag you back in. “Retired” podcaster Sean Burkhead joins Brad the Dad for a special look at SmackDown following Survivor Series and the build-up to John Cena's last match. It’s a two-hour show with only three matches but plenty of filler, and Sean and Brad are break it all down for you.

Greg’s away, so Maddie jumps into the co-host chair for her birthday—and yes, she cracks her very first alcoholic beverage on air. We “watch” what might be a pretty good SmackDown, but honestly? We mostly talk over it, tell jokes, derail the plot, and forget to take notes. Was the show good? Maybe. Was the podcast fun? Absolutely. And if you don’t like this episode… well, there are plenty of other podcasts out there.
