SmackDaddies 247 - There’s Room In My Family for you…. Because TKO cut 40% of it.

Don’t watch SmackDown. 
It’s really not worth it.
Go to socials and watch the Danhausen segments. 
Trust us, this was the worst SmackDown of the year.

SmackDaddies 246 - Rest In Pieces -

 https://www.podbean.com/eas/pb-uvpie-1aa9b41 
 
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.
Powerhouse Royce Keys squashing.
Sami Zayn in full heel mode, and an unexpected X.
Even more Bloodline stuff for some reason.
Thankfully they only have 3 hours to play with in 8 weeks.

SmackDaddies 245 - Going Bust in Vegas

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.
 
WWE terminated a bunch of wrestlers on Friday.
 
We also had Smackdown.

SmackDaddies 243 - I’m the One Who's Confused (Smackdown Podcast)

 
 
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.

SmackDaddies 242 - The Curse of Dan Engler

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).
Cardona jobs again.
R-Priest takes on Miz/Wilson in what was my favourite part of SmackDown with an interesting twist-hausen.
Sami took on Carmelo Hayes in the Main Event. This is looking more and more like a 3 way match for the championship with Trick at Mania.

SmackDaddies 241 - Jelly-RKO

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 over, Bellas vs Alexa/Charlotte in what Joe Tessitore calls our “top heavy female tag division”. Truer words have never been spoken.
 
In your feel good segment of the night, RTruth is backstage with someone building the Judgement Day’s new clubhouse. Damian Priest is more confused than ever, but seems to get onboard with the plans of adding a hot tub. Truth confuses Jelly Roll with Dominik Mysterio and tells him Liv Morgan won’t be happy to see him and Rhea Ripley together… 
 
Rhea comes to the ring, it leads to a match against B-Fab. It’s about as exciting as it sounds because it didn’t really happen. You’ll never guess what did happen, outside interference.
 
Miz is in the back, he’s looking more and more disheveled. He’s stepped in gum. The curse continues. Kit Wilson is now also cursed.
 
Jelly Roll and Kit Wilson was a fun, feel good match. In the end, this probably should have been saved for Vegas and not Pittsburgh.
 
Sami Zayn answers the open challenge this week and is the new US Champion. In the back he goes up to Nick and demands his match for Mania. He’s getting Trick Williams. Never saw that coming.
 
Remember that US Women’s Title Match they booked last week. Neither did WWE. Because we got a non title match with Giulia and Tiffy Time. With a little distraction/interference, Giulia wins.
 
SmackDown ends with the jobber match of the night. Randy Orton taking on Cowboy Bob I mean Matt Cardona. In the end, Orton is going to win this of course. Cody and Randy brawl after the match. Why is WWE Security so inept?  And why do they put people in corners only for them to come out and continue to beat each other up?
 
Can we survive the road to Wrestlemania? It’s looking more and more doubtful.
