20 years ago today, this show premiered on TV


Show opens with the debut of:


First match ever on SD had this superstar win:

Wouldn't be until August that it became a regular TV show. No doubt we'll get Smackdown 20th anniversary show (hopefully better than the letdown that was Smackdown 1000). I just wonder if SD20 will be on USA or FOX. Timing makes more sense to have it on USA since SD did officially debut in August, but at the same time you do want to have a really huge show on FOX(maybe first episode on FOX ends up being the SD 20th anniversary show, so fans can see new and old faces on their FOX premiere)

May 19!
That was a fun story. The debut of fake kane was horrible (did they buy the wig last minute at a party store?), but having kane vs fake kane was cool. Thinking there was a chance of kane putting back on the mask,becoming that monster again.
