  • WWE SummerSlam 2004 - Episode 111
    Aug 15 2024

    It’s the Hottest Show of the Summer, from 20 years ago!


    The boys have been very Raw-centric the past few 2004 shows, but it is time to rewatch and review the WWE’s first co-branded show since Wrestlemania- Summerslam 2004!


    Listen in as John and Teddy hop into the Summerslam Enterprise and go maximum warp to catch up on all things happening on the Smackdown brand in July 2004. Once we catch up our two brand’s timelines, we take you through the matches and angles happening on Raw and Smackown in August, and finish with our review of the show that brought us the youngest WWE World Champion in history!

    We also talk WWE business, give updates on what’s going on behind the scenes, and throw out some rumors and ideas being pitched around all of the main angles of the show.


    Was crowning Randy too early, too late, or just right? We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
