The Smackdown Greatest Moments Special On FOX

It’s the first of three.So since Smackdown is moving to FOX next week, the network is showcasing some of WWE’s best, including this self explanatory special.  This was basically a big look back at the biggest names in the show’s history, whether they’re a possibility for next week’s show or not.  I can get the idea there, but that sounds like setting up some lofty goals.

The show was a great trip down memory lane with almost every major moment in the show’s history you could ask for getting either a full look or a quick highlight.  If you’re a longtime fan, it’s a great way to see what you’re getting into.  If you’re a new fan, it might have been a little much as there was little context to the show, other than what hosts The Miz and Charlotte offered.  It doesn’t help that most of these people won’t be there next week, but they were trying.

That’s the key to the whole thing: FOX is trying and putting an effort in with WWE.  That isn’t something they do for just anyone and it’s great to see WWE getting a chance to really make a big splash with the move.  Starting with history and highlights is a great idea though as WWE knows how to do them as well as anyone else has ever done.

This is being replayed a few times on Fox Sports 1 and i you have 45 minutes to kill and want very little from the modern show, check it out as the flashbacks are worth it if nothing else.
