Was at the AC show tonight, Taker was stripped of the belt. Do we update this now or after the show airs?`Linknumbers (talk) 04:14, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

After the show airs somewhere in the world. ArcAngel (talk) 12:51, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That really seems odd to me though, considering how wwe.com has Taker listed as defending the title on the May 2nd SD! airing. ArcAngel (talk) 01:53, 2 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Consider yourself swerved.Linknumbers (talk) 12:47, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ack, didn't mean to click the vandalism rollback button on Twinkle. Sorry about that. Also, what's with the redundancy below the General Managers table? Theodore Long and Vickie Guerrero are listed outside, right below the table as GMs. Th 2005 (talk) 07:07, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is a current discussion on whether to move the article, please visit here for the discussion.--SRX 22:10, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why the hell do some SmackDown!s have "!s" and some don't?

RandySavageFTW (talk) 09:43, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Because, before 2008, SmackDown! has the "!", and the show was called "SmackDown!" w/ the "!", the only thing that was changed is the name of this article, SmackDown!s with the !, are redirected to this page. We can't change the way things were.--SRX^--LatinoHeat 11:52, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Would we say: "Wrestling on its SmackDown! brand" or "Wrestling on its SmackDown brand"?

RandySavageFTW (talk) 17:18, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you are talking about a wrestler that wrestled on the SmackDown brand before 2008 then you would say "on its SmackDown! brand". However if you are talking about wrestlers that currently wrestle on the brand then you would say "on its SmackDown brand". You should take a look at capitalization and Italicization on our project's Style guide for more info.^{--UnquestionableTruth--} 01:48, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Request permission to move "WWE Friday Night SmackDown" to "WWE SmackDown" to avoid further confusion? AdamDeanHall (talk) 16:57, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You don't need to ask for permission. No one needs to ask for permission to move pages. What you need to do however is form a consensus so that the community supports your move as well. This issue has already come to numerous discussions and the end results of those discussions have been mixed responses. I personally think it should be moved to "WWE SmackDown" but its not up to me to decided where this page goes. If you want to take it to another vote, I wouldn't mind.^{--UnquestionableTruth--} 17:28, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well there was a vote, and it was decided that it should remain as it is, per primary sources, such as WWE and CWTV, they list the show as WWE Friday Night SmackDown. However, My Network TV lists it as WWE SmackDown, so once the show switches shows I think we can rename it, we'll see, as we aren't a crystal ball.SRX^--LatinoHeat 20:15, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have a question. Are we going to add the Divas Championship to the list of titles yet, or are we going to wait until the match is shown and the two contenders are known? —Preceding unsigned comment added by King Shuckle (talk • contribs) 19:23, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is no such title, the title they referred to on television was the WWE Women's Championship.--SRX^--LatinoHeat 20:06, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not according to tonight's episode of Smackdown. Talk of crowning the Divas Champion implies a new title. Otherwise Vickie would have called it the Women's title. Plus, this question exists on WWE.com on the Smackdown Section "Who would you like to see Natayla face for the WWE Divas Championship at Night of Champions?" So I suggest you go fact-checking like I have. King Shuckle (talk) 03:56, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We are aware of the new Diva's title. However due to the severity of the lack of information presently available we have chosen not to acknowledge the title yet. The last time a new championship was supposedly announced before the draft, it's existence turned out to be unnecessary (SmackDown! Championship in 2005). A note of the mention from tonight's episode would be acceptable though.^{--UnquestionableTruth--} 04:02, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is Smackdown the 2nd tier of WWE ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.243.45.71 (talk) 17:15, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So, these are two SmackDown logos obviously. The first being the current official logo used on tv and the other being the one used Pre-HD era. So I just wanna ask, because I think the the other logo should be named as the "Alternate Logo" used. I mean look at the supplemental draft page and the logo used to show the talent drafted.

I took it here so it can be discussed by the community if we should do the edit or not :)

"The WWE Championship is now officially Smackdown" - Hhh210 (talk) 22:11, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Should Championship friday be added? it happened on May 2, 2008!! Adster95 (talk) 11:58, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I need the recent edits made by DX10 (Contribs)to be checked for factual accuracy because I am not an expert on wrestling. This editor has introduced deliberate factual errors into other articles and it is possible that this editor has done the same here. -- B.D.Mills  (T, C) 12:20, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Could the new theme for WWE Friday Night SmackDown be titled "I Dare You" by Shinedown, by any chance? AdamDeanHall (talk) 03:13, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't that what the name of the song is?--S_RX 03:15, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

nope; heres i dare u from youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLy2LDO1dSw —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.186.90.174 (talk) 20:46, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It Is the name of the song. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.137.127.253 (talk) 12:03, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I listened to this song and they used this song to kick off Smackdown on a commercial along with Wrestlemania XXIV. Snowydweather (User talk:Snowydweather) 8:43, 31 October 2008

This is the current Smackdown song as of October...... does anyone know the name of it шшє ₣дN ӧ9

im pretty sure its Airbourne - Going down http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2urIbuHimok&feature=related —Preceding unsigned comment added by WWE FAN 09 (talk • contribs) 06:09, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What about this? WCW Smackdown. Rare footage we've all forgot about. Should this be noted? 24.226.23.56 (talk) 05:13, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Also, this. Another match from that night. 24.226.23.56 (talk) 02:13, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Already noted at The Invasion (professional wrestling). TJ Spyke 13:32, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Can we put where they took place? (city, arena)

Umm most people would say that wouldn't be notable and you would probably need to add another row in! Although it could go in the notes. But I'm not sure if it would be notable enough sorry.Adster95 (talk) 16:39, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lets put the orignal theme song and the current one up as well. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cooly123 (talk • contribs) 16:20, 6 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It was never discounted so it should be 2007- present. In the Smackdown! spoilers for next week Edge interviews Matt Hardy. Pavlen (talk) 16:57, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if I'm the only one seeing this, but Smackdown is airing right now on the CW. Was going to add it to the list of channels, but wanted to discuss it first. I understand it is a replay from earlier, but here where I am (Middle Gergia), we don't get MyNetwork Tv. So I was wondering if I was the only one seeing it happen?--EmperorofBlackPeopleEverywhere (talk) 04:03, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that you don't get MyNetworkTV is probably why. Your local CW affiliate is airing it (I don't know which one since you just said middle Georgia). Back when SmackDown was on UPN, the same thing happened (in markets that didn't get UPN, local Fox affiliates would air SmackDown). TJ Spyke 04:51, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, okay. I didn't really get it.. Yeah, I'm in Macon, and the cable service doesn't come with MyNetwork. But thanks for that because I was close to adding it into the article, which ould've probably resulted in a large and unnecessary edit war. Confusion Resolved. Cheers!--EmperorofBlackPeopleEverywhere (talk) 05:00, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Smackdown will have its 500 episode soon, thats worth mentioning.--Cooly123 (talk) 18:33, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not if WWE doesn't say anything. If they treat it like a normal episode, so do we. TJ Spyke 18:44, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe we should fix the commentray section since Tazz is no longer a commentator for Smackdown. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.194.21.206 (talk • contribs)

WWE has not even confirmed whether or not Tazz has left. Even if the rumors are true, he could always re-sign before next weeks SmackDown. If the reports are true, then it would be changed next week after the SmackDown tapings. TJ Spyke 21:19, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I am mexican and I know that in Canal 5 only transmit WWE Raw. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.170.178.85 (talk) 17:33, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. TJ Spyke 17:35, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

User talk:A.lanzetta keeps vandalizing the page and switching the order of Ross and Grisham for no reason. I have valid reasons to have him reported, I will let him try and explain why he thinks it should be otherwise. TJ Spyke 19:59, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The starting date of Jim Ross and Mick Foley should be the same as the ending date for Michael Cole and Mick Foley since WWE Draft picks become effective immediately, and JR and Foley finished the draft broadcast together. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.222.193.229 (talk) 06:10, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Todd Grisham is the Play by Play announcer and Jim Ross is the Color Commentator. (User talk:A.lanzetta) 09:21, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So? There is no rule that the play-by-play announcer gets listed first. TJ Spyke 01:26, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

On the WWE Superstars section, it is listed Grisham & Ross. (User talk:A.lanzetta) 10:12, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Where do you see them listed: [2]? TJ Spyke 02:31, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

WWE Superstars TV Show page on Wikipedia. (User talk:A.lanzetta) 10:46, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS for why that argument doesn't work. TJ Spyke 16:25, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Has there been a time when we havn't listed the main play-by-play guy first? Mshake3 (talk) 20:53, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

For events that Vince McMahon commentated on we list him first even though he was more of a color commentator. I don't feel that strongly on this, I was more annoyed that A.lanzetta refused to discuss it even after I asked him too. TJ Spyke 22:04, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I right now understand it. I'm sorry. (User talk:A.lanzetta) 03:02, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

But why does it has to be Ross and Grisham? I just asking. (User talk:A.lanzetta) 04:27, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't really care anymore. To me it just sounds better and more natural to say "Jim Ross and Todd Grisham" (the same way it just sounds better saying "Raw and SmackDown" rather than "SmackDown and Raw"). TJ Spyke 21:59, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

During the Smackdown tapings last night Rey Mysterio lost the Intercontinental Title to John Morrison[3]. This change should be made in the Champions section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.135.123.223 (talk) 19:39, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Until SmackDown airs.... NO...^{--UnquestionableTruth--} 19:42, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just to clarify, I believe it has to air on U.S. television before the change is "official". ArcAngel (talk) 21:36, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Just the first airing, not necessarily in the US (although I think it should be based on US airing). Until it airs, Mysterio will be listed. TJ Spyke 21:44, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There have been a lot of people that have tried to put her in as the new ring announcer and im not saying she shouldn't be there as i have seen and read the news articles say she was at last Fridays taping but the fact is that she was not on the air at all. So as she has yet to make her debut please re frame from adding her till she is seen on wwe TV.--Dcheagle (talk) 15:49, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. Her official websites confirm that she does in fact work for WWE on the Smackdown brand. There is no reason it can't be added. Due to edit warring, I've opened a discussion for this on WP:PW Wwehurricane1 (talk) 22:46, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Stop spreading BS. This is the ONLY info her official site says about WWE: "Catch Lauren Mayhew as the new ring announcer / national anthem singer for the network fights on World Wrestling Entertainment WWE." Where do you see SmackDown ANYWHERE on her site? Also, don't try and claim Twitter or MySpace because neither have been confirmed to be hers and not just fakes (so they are not acceptable)

. TJ Spyke 23:15, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As I said on WP:PW, the Myspace page (which has Smackdown confirmed all over it) is linked from her official site. It is legit. No one is spreading BS. Wwehurricane1 (talk) 23:39, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My Main problem to this is that she was not on last Fridays episode of Smackdown and wwe has not said anything to the fact that she will work on Smackdown im not saying she wont but till she makes her debut on TV and not just at the taping i say that she be removed once again tell the day that shes on the show. Just cause she said on her twitter that she was at the taping doesn't mean that that she was on the show. And one other fact that i would like to point out is that this could be seen as a Spoiler which we all know is not welcome on Wikipedia. I wont remove it myself but I do think consensus needs to be reached before any thing else is done.--Dcheagle (talk) 01:54, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:PW. Wwehurricane1 (talk) 01:58, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have seen it And still believe in what i said did you see her on the show last friday cause i know i didn't and don't you find it a little odd that WWE has said nothing about her at all. All Im saying is till we see her on the show and WWE says something about her I say we take the name down tell at least this friday when the next episode is.--Dcheagle (talk) 02:06, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A source needs to be presented that she works on the SmackDown brand. One that says she is in WWE only confirms she is in WWE, but one that she is on SD must be presented for her to be added to this one.--WillC 02:25, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Again, a source has been provided. For further information, see the discussion on WP:PW. Wwehurricane1 (talk) 02:33, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

She was NOT the announcer on SmackDown this week [4]. She should not be listed as the announcer until she actually ANNOUNCES on the show. Simple logic that even a kid can understand. TJ Spyke 15:34, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Dcheagle in the fact it shouldn't be added - just yet.--Celtic + Cross talk 16:41, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ahem... Ahem... just a heads up... SmackDown has a new theme song... Now carry on...^{--UnquestionableTruth--} 17:25, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Foundz Itz... Thanks to a simple Myspace Music search of the words "Let It Roll" (which is part the chorus of the new song)... The new theme song is "Let It Roll" by Divide The Day. The sample is up on their Myspace page.^{--UnquestionableTruth--} 17:51, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

i sse that she has been removed and that we had a little more of a talk about this. if she does become the announcer i would be happy to add her so till then.--Dcheagle (talk) 18:03, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

|- |The Cutting Edge |Edge |2007 - Present |In-ring interview segment.^[1] |-

this should look like this.

|- |The Cutting Edge |Edge |2007 - 2009 |In-ring interview segment. Ended when Edge was injured.^[2] |-

Edge may comeback. That is likely but as it stands right now he is out on a major injury and with that he is no longer a recurring wrestler on smackdown and with that as well his segment the cutting edge is no longer recurring and until he comes back sometime next year and officially does the cutting edge on smackdown again it should be considered over.
