Came to the cooments to complain about the length of the Kofi-Swagger match. Glad to see I am not the only one.

Christian Bolda · April 7, 2025

That Swagger and Kofi match made me wanna jump off a building my eyes glazed over watching it and then 10 mins later it was still going on

J
Jared Clemons · April 7, 2025

💙🎮SonAngelBlackHeart22🎮💛 · April 7, 2025

Watching now I felt that Kofi Swagger wasn't bad is just why did it had to be 15 mins long if it shelved off 9 mins it would be better

G
Grubbs · April 7, 2025

Watching now, absolutely flabbergasted at the length of this Swagger V Kofi match.

Two-Tone MoonStone · April 6, 2025

There is someone in their early to mid twenties who thinks Swagger and Del Rio were two of the greatest to ever do it, I just want ya’ll to consider that.

Nick · April 5, 2025

I am pretty sure this Kofi/Swagger opener is the longest match in wrestling history.

Smarky Mcmark · April 5, 2025

The Kofi vs Swagger (Swags as i call him) match felt like it was an hour long wow

I remember watching this episode. HOLE LEE, this era is rough.

F
FalconX9K · April 5, 2025

A Nickelodeon-ass opening promo followed by a Kofi Kingston/Jack Swagger match. I couldn't have summed up 2010 WWE better.

F
FalconX9K · April 5, 2025

Jack Swagger just locked in his 5th rest hold and I'm ready to end it all

Listen guys, I get you're mad at the one-dollar tier patrons but subjecting ALL of us to 2010 WWE seems unfair.

Is this the most recent WWE show y'all have ever watched for a retro review? I think the furthest y'all have gone is 2009

They've done 2011 RAW

Is this part of the 3 hour show era?

D
Darius Britton · April 4, 2025

No it’s like a year and a half before Raw went 3 hours. There’s still a hard brand split here.

A
AJ Lange · April 4, 2025

oh this is exciting

R
Richard Ives · April 4, 2025

I honestly don’t mind which era the boys watch. You know it’ll be a great laugh regardless

Surv1vor1993 · April 4, 2025

Oh lord I can already tell this show is dogass 2010 era SmackDown with Green Day theme music Post World Heavyweight Champion Jack Swagger Kane as World Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio How did 17 year old me watch this shit?

H
Hank Kronenberg · April 4, 2025

The same way 11 year old me watched it....I have no fucking idea.

z
zaza so rancid it made me end Bobby Roode's TNA push · April 4, 2025

bluefox2001 · April 4, 2025

Usually, I would ask if anyone has a free link to watch the show the boys are gonna watch so I can see what they are gonna be looking at. I am gonna skip this one or ask for a link out of morbid curiosity.

M
MR. DINGER · April 4, 2025

My morbid curiosity is too much, I need that link

Before COVID 2020 we had WWE 2010, dark times

T
Tandy Coggs · April 4, 2025

My favorite part was when Todd Grisham said "We're gonna take a look a this fowl bird" about the Swagger Soaring Eagle and Matt Striker and Michael Cole laughed as hard as they could

R
Real North Carolina judge Dick Boner · April 4, 2025

Swagger Soaring Eagle should’ve been in a game

PT · April 4, 2025

That entire segment was one of the least funny things in history, yet I imagine Vince was laughing his ass off.

B
BigJ · April 4, 2025

Meanwhile, TNA is firmly in the grip of Bischoff/Hogan. Wrestling was ultra-fucked in 2010.

R
Ritsuka · April 7, 2025

Somehow I was more willing to watch Hogan and Bischoff kill TNA than this in 2010. I was a dumb 16 year old.

James is definitely going to bust out "So, I have a gun to my head" again during this review.

I do know the enemy and it's this piece of shit show

L
LOL WHOEVER LOST THAT ATL V PHI WC GO NATS · April 4, 2025

the most jarring thing about 2010s WWE is never the shitty show, the graphics, the matches. its the incredibly obvious lopsided child:adult ratio in the crowd that seems unique to this era

P
PT · April 4, 2025

The WWE Kids magazine ad spells this out loud and clear. Then oops, Mean Gene with the retro-focused WWEShop ad. Which audience did they want?

I know this isn't the first one but anytime I see you guys choose a 2008 to 2010 or a 80s show Im still surprised. My favorite part is watching it w/o reading the description so I can figure out why you guys chose it.
