i want them to do an Old School Smackdown Intro with the current guys. Like they did for the Old School RAW opening. I just feel like that they could have done a bit better job with it. Only cause it looks like someone just through together a mash up without giving much attention to the finished product. Like if you look at the Old School RAW it looked amazing like they put the time & effort into it.

As much as I like the SmackDown Fist, if they ever try an Old-School Smackdown, it should be done with the Ovatron arena. The pyro always looked cool.
Also, this theme is from the SmackDown pilot. It doesn't have the whiplash sound at the end.

WWE should go back to that theme and graphics and use that new version of the video.
And bring back the ovaltron, that was the best look and feel Smackdown ever had, the fist is vastly overrated.
The ovaltron set was perfect, had nice colour to it, looked professional but wasn't over the top and distracting.
Hell I know WWE have an obsession with cramming as many led's and screens and what not on the stage as they can fit nowadays, so if they must have a "minitron it could go where the blue thing behind the ovaltron is in the same shape, during matches keep it the same colour and only during entrances have footage on it
Also a screen on both sides wouldn't be so bad either

To each their own, but I loved both the Oval and the Fist. I miss both  . I love your idea for an updated Oval stage though! I really miss the walkways/ramps being high and longer like they were in the 90'd and early to mid 2000's. I would love the return of higher ramps/walkways. It makes everything on the stage/set feel more epic, and is better for spots *cough:the Ryder wheelchair fall/any time Cena's falls 4ft off of one:cough* Wasn't there a thread of fan made old school Raw/SD intro's a few months back? They were great. I want WWE to do a Beautiful People one to go along with the one in the OP as well |

I like to imagine that the vocals of Test's theme, Luke Gallows' theme and the original Smackdown theme were all done by the same guy, and eventually wwe.com will post an interview with him, wherein he answers all the questions with gibberish like he just talks that way normally.

This is pretty damn awesome, but it seems really out of left field.
I wonder if they had a planned Old School Smackdown that they scrapped.

I love how most of the footage in the Old School Smackdown intro is from Raw.

I like this a lot.
Does anyone know the lyrics to this? I always thought of it as " puts your Hanes on my mind, here we are we're coming tough"

For a while when I was a younger wrestling fan, SmackDown was the only WWE show I could watch, not having basic cable. It would re-air on a local station at midnight or so on Saturday. There is no match you could announce from today's roster that would get me more pumped to watch SmackDown than that intro music.
