Back when Raw and Smackdown really feelt like two diffrent Brands.

2005 was truly one of thee greatest years for WWE.

The heels and baby faces working together as a team made it feel authentic

One of the coolest things about this build up was how all of Smackdown’s wrestlers, face and heel, all showed up to the Raw arena in JBL’s limo. It just felt like a WAR! 🔥

These were the days 😢 when we walk talk about it at school the next day

The buying tickets to get into the arena is always a hilarious trope

“Gangsta style” this was peak watching it as a kid

I am so grateful I grew up as a teenager in the 2000's and witnessed this era. Rest in peace ruthless aggression era.

When wrestling was worth watching..

That’s the one thing I miss regarding to Smackdown vs Raw, the friction between brands. Now, since there is no conflict between general managers in current WWE, there’s no need for the brands to be feuding.

I never knew that iconic moment was Eddie’s last match!

11:16 pulling up in JBL’s limo while wearing suits is so badass.

This brand split was more than ppl think and was one of the best plots in the industry.

Shelton Benjamin wearing blue while he resprent raw was funny too me 😂
Also, Shawn 🦶 to Rey is iconic

2005 was a high water mark for Shawn. The feud with Angle, with Hogan, Survivor Series Captain... I'd call it a good year

This was so iconic; we actually had a fight at school like this. There were 2 groups of kids in grades 9 & 10 that belonged to a "friend group," and we role-played it like a SmackDown vs Raw event with fake wrestling and fighting. Teachers stepped in and we got detention, but it was hilarious because we all knew it was fake and nobody got hurt. We all stayed friends even after.

WWE’s booking of the separate shows in the early 2000s was so elite, hearin a Smackdown wrestler’s theme song hit on RAW, felt legit wrong & visa versa.

I remember voting for Taboo Tuesday on their website when I was in the 5th grade.

2002-2007 was the only time the brand split actually made sense. Also brand exclusive ppvs made the big 4 ppvs feel extra special
