Aside from the very good TV cage match, this show was a 6-pack of ass.

I’m not finding this date on Peacock. I see Nov. 25 but not 29th. Do I have to fight Val Venis in a singles to unlock this episode or sumn? HELP BOYZ I’M LOSING ME MARBLES! I can’t bare to watch the wrong episode of a 2011 Smackdown 😭🥲

DEADLOCK · December 19, 2025

The link is in the post! The show is from November 29, 2011, but Peacock has it listed as December 2, 2011 for some reason.

I enjoyed the kofi and Tyson Kidd match in concept. If this era wasn’t so shitty I know they would’ve put on an absolute heater.

Boys will berate us for a shitty SGH pick and then voluntarily throw on 2011 Smackdown... Just sayin

L
Littering and Littering and Littering AND Littering ANDERSON ANDERRSON ANDERRRSHUN · December 19, 2025

Maybe smackdown 2011 is a direct response to shitty SGH picks?

*Checks the Match Results for this episode* Oh-my! This this is gonna be a fucking terrible episode to recap. Also Mark Henry pulls double duty and wrestles a dark match for the title after a match for the title.

D
DeadlockBoyzPleaseStreamFortniteAndUploadVidImDyin · December 17, 2025

Can someone tell me what the date range is for retro? Because I'd love to see the boys watch All In 1 or the first Double or Nothing. I just liked back when they talked about AEW for a hot minute.

D
Day'mon Harris · December 17, 2025

Ehhh Nah.. I say anything that's not 10 years old isn't retro

2011? Has to be a typo. The boys found the hot tub time machine Can’t wait to hear about 3011 Smackdown with Robo Orton, Big Big Big Show, Great Khali 2… 🥲

S
Surv1vor1993 · December 17, 2025

I saw that logo and thought it was a 2008 SmackDown and started to get worried. Then I saw it was a 2011 SmackDown and I don’t know if that’s better or worse than a 2008 SmackDown. This was the era where SmackDown was completely missable every single week

H
Hank Kronenberg · December 17, 2025

Anytime this show does a review of a random PG-era WWE show, all I can think is "What the fuck happened on this show?" and then you get just a bunch of goofy ahh bullshit.

David Otunga with the quarter zip!?!?

How the hell did this happen? Did you guys compromise Jawnny to a permanent end to watch this?

Little inside, but on a recent shoot from ITR, Swoggle talked about how he was supposed to cut his first promo being revealed as the raw general manager, but never got to because he had to do a jersey accent.. this being the first time he actually talks, kind of funny

T
Tennessee Lee talking on commentary sounds like Fat Albert but if it was done by someone doing a bad Bill Cosby impression · December 17, 2025

I read this far "Now that he's back in WWE, admitted “Christmas fanatic” Mick Foley " and I said oh hell naw!!!! Mick foley? Christmas? 2011 smackdown?!?! Oh hell naw!

In an alternate universe where WCW is alive we would get the PWO, the Percy Watson order, and it's just oh, oh, oh , oh YEAH! · December 17, 2025

I watched about 3 mins and mick Foley in the Santa suit cutting this promo made me want to put my head through a wall

BigPoppaPumpinYaMumski428 · December 17, 2025

I might be goofy but it say November 25, 2011 on peacock is that the correct episode?

S
Surv1vor1993 · December 17, 2025

It was a special live show. This was back in the days when SmackDown was normally taped on Tuesday and aired on Friday

N
Nick C. · December 17, 2025

Oh HELL yeah the episode with my all-time favorite Orton moment: Orton throws a Christmas present at David Otunga as he runs up the ramp and the corner of the box pings Otunga *perfectly* in the back of the head, causing Randy to just stop mid-stride and have a long, genuine laugh. My advice to The Boys would be to enjoy this with a lot of Festive Greenery.
