That Triple H - Cactus Jack segment was amazing, Trips' reaction made Cactus look like an absolute monster.

 

Was it Dennis Knight playing the fake Mankind because he was brilliant at it.

 

Nah was Al Snow.

Heyman's shoot interview prior to Survivor Series 2001

 

The SmackDown! 6 tag team series

 

Brock Lesnar's turn as a killer heel and his maulings of Zach Gowen

 

Billy & Chuck's commitment ceremony. Still one of the best WWF/WWE's best ever angles,that ending still gives me goosebumps

 

Big Show's sending of crates to The Undertaker.Comedy gold(Boy Kanyon and the puppy)

 

JBL

 

Palmer Cannon. Gone too soon :(

 

Mattitude's early days

 

The series of matches involving The Undertaker/Kurt Angle and Brock Lesnar

 

Overall,I've always enjoyed SmacDown! ahead of Raw especially when Raw went with the seriously annoying guest host business.SmackDown! usually came across as the show to watch when you wanted to see wrestling

Was it on Smackdown where Big Show twatted a stretcher-tied Rey Mysterio into the ring post? If it was, then that.

That was Backlash 2003. Rey then landed on the top of his head.

I'm going to go with HHH getting sent over there in 2008. Breath of fresh air for him, Smackdown AND Raw. His feud with Khali was top bollocks, and it was nice to see him in a role as experienced better-than-everybody face when it was actually both warranted and true. He just lead the show better than most others ever did really.

I would like to go on record to say, I loved Pirate Paul Burchill. When he debuted with Palmer Cannon and his stuff with Regal as his Buxom Wrench were quality.

 

Some things already said, Angle/Lesnar Iron man match, Los Guerrero segments, Lesnar/Benoit, Return of Cactus Jack, Debut of Rey Mysterio, and of course:

 

Jamie Noble

I wasn't watching wrestling at the time, so can anybody tell me why WWE stopped doing the pirate gimmick with Paul Burchill?

 

When I started watching again he was colourless and looked like he might smell of cabbage. The pirate thing would have been perfect for the kids, looks like a laugh too.

Apparently Vince didn't like it. He never saw Pirates of the Carribean or knew how popular it was. All he saw was a crappy Pirate gimmick like Jean Pierre Lafitte (who I still think is pretty awesome) and demanded it gone. It was still adult oriented then.

According to Dave Lagana, Vince went to see Pirates of the Caribbean on a weekend off and then decided he wanted a pirate gimmick.
