0:00.0	Hello.
0:06.0	Hello. Welcome to the Smackdown Poe show. Thank you for being here because I don't know why you're here. I don't know why we're here. I don't know what this was tonight, but it was not an episode of pro wrestling television. This was bad. Bad, bad, bad. But we're going to talk about it.
0:39.9	The good, the bad, which is what it mostly was and the ugly, which it also mostly was after an
0:45.9	ugly week from WWE where they made it abundantly clear what their priorities were and that they
0:52.2	pretty much only care about your top dollar because, man,

1:43.5	Kate hit me up at 12 this afternoon and asked me if I wanted to do this show.
1:47.9	It's true.
1:48.6	At 8.01 p.m. I said, oh, hot diggity dog. I'm getting on Twitter today.
1:53.4	And yeah, that's when you decided to do the show. I'm okay. I went out Pokemon hunting today.
1:59.3	You did? I did. I went out and did some Pokemon Go.
2:02.7	Did you catch them all?
