Bouta say what made us so lucky 😂
DON 2024??!!
I know you don’t do many AEW videos but you should do a video about Swerve Stricklands rise to the Main Event and the whole buildup to him winning the World Championship
All I can remember from that draft are Edge, John Morrison, & R Truth being drafted to Raw while Kofi, Big Show, & Cody were drafted to Smackdown
It's crazy how it was the exact opposite for Smackdown the year before.
It's like they realised they had too much star power on smackdown and over corrected
The difference maker it was getting jeff hardy on friday nights alone was historical. You gotta remember raw was still on cable and smackdown was on cw channel 23 in 08. It literally meant the world to us young fans who didnt have cable 💯
For me it was CW channel 57
@@terrancecarmichael619same Philly stand up 💯
yerrr Philly rep
He was the hottest star you right
@@nolimitdeuce that’s wsp we all in this thread 😂🤙🏾
I used call this The “SmackDown vs RAW 2011” Year
I was literally thinking about how SmackDown was so gutted after the 2010 Draft.
Like here's the main event scene before WM26:
Batista
Rey Mysterio
Undertaker
Chris Jericho
Edge
CM Punk
After WM26:
Rey Mysterio
CM Punk
Big Show...
Kane...
Jack Swagger.......
The very later years of the Draft definitely weren’t as excited as the Ruthless Aggression ones. Those had surprises and even game changing events. These later ones were predictable and more boring. No wonder the brand split died a year later.
As a kid that grew up without cable. I was always a Smack down guy and I never thought the shows were bad. I started watching Raw after WrestleMania 21.
It ruined SmackDown in 2010 the main program on that show was Big Show vs Jack Swagger 😂😂
And the boring mysterio/delrio feud
@@PhenomenalOne1000 nothing is more boring than big show Jack Swagger feud
I can’t believe that was a world title feud😂 even Orton couldn’t help Swagger’s bland run
They didn’t have to ruin the main even scene Smackdown still had Jericho kane and cm punk
Smackdown was only bad summer and autumn 2010 when it got to the end of the year it started to change and Smackdown got better than raw which was clear in 2011. Raw in 2011 was trash, the only good thing that year was cm punk and the rock roasting people.
I think the 2010 draft only helped raw in the nexus storyline but I think the draft really hurt the careers of John Morrison, r truth and ted dibiase jr, raw had more guys than they knew what to do with.
Bro I still can’t believe Jack Swagger was the top guy as World Heavyweight Champion but at least we got Kane finally winning a World Championship again
Fun Fact: Swagger was originally suppose to cash in on John Cena the night after WM26 and win the WWE Championship but Cena refused (probably because he knew Swagger as WWE Champion would be terrible) so they had to awkwardly move Swagger to SmackDown and make him World champion. I think that's why his first fued was with Randy Orton (who was on Raw) because that was suppose to be his first fued as WWE Champion.
Yeah and then they fucked up kanes run.
@@gablefanproductions01so thanks to cena Jericho had another short reign
I’m still shocked to this day Randy Orton actually put Swagger over in their match. If was booking this I would’ve had Orton win and move to SmackDown
@@dr.alexander7039 that would have instantly fixed so many issues. I think Swagger was supposed to hold the title until SummerSlam and drop it to Undertaker but his fued with Big Show was so bad Vince cut his reign short
Raw got Edge Chris Jericho R Truth John Morrison SmackDown got Big Show Kelly Kelly Kofi Kingston and Christian
2010 smackdown was pretty much when i was checked out of the product. I didn't care for much of anything that period.
What about the Nexus?
@@desmondben8576You replied as if that's a good thing.
Back when the draft meant something the good old days
I really feel this was the beginning of the end of that brand- split era of smackdown (2002-2010). It had slowly gotten worse & worse & it basically died when they started the raw/smackdown super shows around 2012.
Wasn't until 2016 that Smackdown became must see again.
And Smackdown was only must see for like 8 months
smackdown was chopped in 2010
Smackdown was chopped 2010-2015
Losing: Taker, Brock, Kurt, Rey, Batista, Big Show, Eddie, Benoit, Kennedy, Booker T, & Jeff Hardy hurt the product a lot.
JBL
I liked the Kane vs Edge feud in 2010😂😭😭.
I have fond memories of that edge vs Kane rivalry. All I have to say is Paul bearer in a wheelchair.
That 2010 draft runied Sd for tue summer atleast, HHH and HBK left they moved Edge to raw to fill the void, jack swagger was the WHC big show was boring as a babyface, rey mysterio and del rio had a boring feud and cm punk was just around, sd only picked up when they face turned Edge and moved him back to sd, plus the kane and Undertaker feud
Thank you for finally making this video after suggesting this ine countless of times lil
2:35 just imagine how perfect the big gold World Heavyweight Championship would’ve looked on Shelton Benjamin The Gold Standard
This was wild. I remember the draft would always be on my birthday. It was always exciting in the 2000s
As if the SmackDown main event scene wasn’t bad enough, the Divas Division got worse with Beth being Injured, Mickie being released, & Tiffany Suspended which led to that Divas/Women’s Championship unification match in order to have the championship appear on both shows.
Smackdown in 2009 had Undertaker, Triple H, Jeff Hardy, Edge and Big Show and it was must watch TV every Friday night.
WWE decided to do the complete opposite in 2010 smh
The only good thing about Smackdown 2010 was Kane winning the big one
I’ll never forgive WWE for that. Edge just returned in 2010 and sent him to RAW for no damn reason.
Jeff leaving, Taker getting injured and mid card looked weak made Smackdown less entertaining than 2009.
I’ll never understand why they thought it was a good idea to draft Edge to Raw.
Especially when you had cena and Randy as the top faces
That part
They didn't need him and he barely did anything important the 6 or however many months he was there
Raw had John Cena, Randy Orton, Sheamus, Randy Orton, Edge, and Chris Jericho, They were stacked.
The picture of hardy and edge on the ladders at 2:56 was my first ever live event. My uncle took us to see Smackdown and ECW in Memphis. Best night of my childhood
It seems like whenever Chris Jericho was drafted to Smackdown, they couldn't wait to get him back on Raw:
2002: Was drafted to Smackdown in March, got traded to Raw by August where he stayed for 3 years. Then returned there in November 2007
2009: Was drafted to Smackdown in April, but won the Tag Titles with Edge (then Big Show) so he could appear on both shows, but spent most of the year on Raw feuding with DX. Spent a couple months after losing the Tag Titles back on Smackdown exclusively, but was drafted back to Raw in April 2010.
2012: Returned to Raw, but the brand split was pretty much done by that point
2016: Drafted to Raw in July, stayed there until April of 2017 when he was drafted back to Smackdown, only to make maybe one-two appearances before leaving the company altogether and later joining AEW.
Yeah that year we could say raw got the best
Your the GOAT
2005 Draft seemed somewhat even on paper (Losing Kurt really did hurt though) but I argue that is the draft that hurt Smackdown's stock in the long term. It shifted the mindset of "Raw being the 1A to Smackdown's 1B" to "Raw is the A show and Smackdown the B show" as they moved the guy they saw as the face of the company there the second he got the title it seemed.
This draft had more to do with Hogan and Bischoff moving TNA to monday nights and Vince panicked and took all the top guys to raw
Smackdown wasn’t the same after that. They only recovered when Edge got traded to Smackdown and turned face and when Christian and Orton feuded.
I remember when I first got into WWE in 2010 and it was around the time of the WWE Draft. SmackDown was the only show I could watch because I only had local channels.
Yo Wrestling Premier, When Your Live Streaming Again on CZcams?
not at the moment probably in a couple of weeks
How do you forget the main highlight Punk vs Mysterio?
Smackdown 2010 was my safe haven, I would remember rushing to my dad's room hearing green day, who I didn't even know the band name lol, and being hyped, watching smackdown was like watching a movie too me, I didn't get too see much of raw cus it was obviously on school nights but Friday nights, get to stay up late, watch smackdown, see my number 1 Rey Mysterio, Kofi, Big show, Kane, Cody, Swagger, Edge, and yes even Del Rio 😑, but the memories I had around this time, especially around a dark depression period of my life, was my home, this era was special too me, and at least the draft back then was at least fun instead of just coming out to a podium stand and reading off a card 😒
I know this is random but I remember in 2010 when I was in the first grade I took some kids triple h 😂😪
I did the same thing bro but it was a Jeff hardy action figure 😭
SMACKDOWN 09 WAS LEGENDARY
I think thay needed Legends like Edge and Jericho to hype the Nexus story
Imo John Morrison moving to Raw in 2010 kinda killed him he was getting a solid. I believe the week before the draft, Morrison beat Swagger
loved the brand split ppvs. Brand draft should be every couple years.
Morrison should’ve won at least 1 singles heavyweight championship.
It honestly seemed like everything that happened on Smackdown in 2011 should've happened in 2010. The people who were drafted should've stayed with a few exceptions. The Blue brand could've had Undertaker, Orton, Edge, Jericho, Christian, Mysterio, Bourne, McIntyre, Rhodes, Morrison, Ziggler, Kingston, Kane, Henry, and Big Show all on the same show. Vince was too focused on nonsense and pushing the wrong people though. I think we'd all like to forget about the overpushes of swagger and del rio.
I think Randy Orton should have been drafted to Smackdown in 2010 and Raw good have an up and coming baby face replace Orton's spot to become WWE Champion
If only jack swagger didn’t win mitb
The window where Smackdown was "the B show" was a short window, and many people agree they overcompensated by overstacking Smackdown.
After the 2010 draft Smackdown was dry due to the lack of star power especially during the summer months and trading Edge back to Smackdown in fall of 2010 was smart on wwe part face or heel Edge was the star of Smackdown.
Taking both Edge AND Jericho was mental and it made no sense whatsoever. It benefit nobody no SD, not even Raw and certainly no Edge or Jericho. Hell we got Y2J vs Evan Bourne on a PPV!
From 2010 until the 2016 draft, Smackdown was terrible for the most part (apart from Christian vs Randy Orton, Mark Henry’s Hall of Pain and CM Punk vs Rey Mysterio) and acted as a highlight show for Raw.
Smackdown Live restored the legacy back.
thankfully smackdown recovered.
It’s bad that I forgot 2010 had a draft
Me too real talk
Smackdown in 2010 wasn’t it 😂, honestly wwe as a whole wasn’t it besides the nexus storyline until Vince ruined it
austin & rack
I would've stopped watching wwe if the draft didn't almost ruined Smackdown
Christian should have been pushed at smackdown during that time
kane carried smackdown that year he did a great job
Jack swagger was great I disagree with you . Amazing wrestler very underrated especially his run in ecw
I always thought the late 2010 Smackdown roster was perfect. Guys who “felt” SD were there. Same goes for Raw
Definitely not perfect
@@pleaseshutup7053 eh, every wrestler suited the show they were assigned to
Wwe in 2010 suck after wrestlemania 26 shawn michaels retired batista walked out Triple H ended wrestling full time
2018 2.0 2010 as well new era
smackdown was always better especially in the 2000s
Smack down always looked like the place where talent can become main eventers if pushed right an raw was where the main eventers are and you can t become one over there
Smackdown use to be HORRIBLE
