| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Smackdown Review. |
| 0:03.5 | I'm Adam Wilborn from What Culture, John, but... I'm from What Cool, you hate to review. Everything that happened on this week's episode of Friday Night Smackdown. But before we get into it, if you're a fan of this sort of thing, make sure you subscribe to What Culture Wrestling on Apple Podcast, Spotify, Amazon, and YouTube. We do daily wrestling podcasts where we're not in review SmackDown, but also... and now, Rao, show Formly on his |
| 0:22.0 | NXT 2B. |
| 0:23.1 | Oh, he'll be done to my |
| 0:24.4 | pay-per-views, premium live events. We have interviews, roundtable discussions, and a round-up of the week, complete. A little bit of a good quiz, of course, on wrestle culture. As I said, though, joined by Michael Hamlet's review this week's episode of Friday Night Smackdown. |
| 1:06.2 | And for the audio only listeners of this podcast no salute from michael hamplet today no completely out of nowhere i think every listener and viewer will agree with with this. Smackdown's gone bad. |

| 1:43.3 | of confrontation, let alone the confrontation itself. I think it's one of the reasons why the spirit and the idea of confrontation, let alone the |
| 1:44.7 | confrontation itself. I think it's one of the reasons. I gravitate towards wrestling. Like, I've never watched it. I've said this, you used this example a million times. I watched a million documentaries where, like, talking heads. Steve Austin was great, because how cool would it be to hit your boss? And I'm watching, going, yeah, how cool would it be to, like, broadly follow the instructions and everybody gets the same amount off this transactional deal? |
| 2:03.0 | Like, I've never related. |
| 2:05.0 | Like, I love 1997 Sean Michaels because he lives a life that I am frightened of. |
