What Happened To EVERY Wrestler From WWE Smackdown's First Episode? 

Drink every time Adam says "and now they host a podcast"

Raw is red Smackdown is blue I came for the theme song And so did you

Lillian Garcia also cage announces for LFA an MMA organisation as of early 2019. She's amazing at it. And truly ageless.

Doctor: Beardless Big Show isn't real. He can't hurt you. Beardless Big Show: 4:42

The 6 dislikes are from Kai En Tai memebers since only the manager was mentioned in the song

Jerry Lawler just completed his veterinary degree. He specializes in puppies now.

*WHAT HAPPENED TO THE VENUE?* Opening in 1974, Kansas City's Kemper Arena hosted the NHL's Kansas City Scouts for 2 seasons before their relocation to Denver, Colorado in 1976 (where they later moved from again in 1982 to become the New Jersey Devils), as well as the NBA's Kansas City Kings until their relocation to Sacramento, California in 1985. It was the site of Owen Hart's tragic death in May 1999, 3 months before the first episode of Smackdown aired, and it also hosted the Chris Benoit/Bret Hart tribute match to him on WCW Nitro later that October. Events at the arena declined following the opening of the Sprint Center in 2007, and in 2016 the arena was closed and turned into a youth sports center, reopening as such in October 2018 under the new name Hy-Vee Arena.

I stopped what I was doing just to listen to the theme tune and watch the video. The patient can wait.

Me: I need a great intro. Adam: *inhales*

1:09 is when the theme song starts

The coolest intro in the history of mankind. Probably ever.

Seeing Pacciti’s head bobbing up and down while on that piano makes my day every day. Brilliant 😂😂

I'll never be able to put into words how much I love that theme song, gawd bless you Pacitti

"Existing shows with rating woes." You're a poet and didn't even know it.

You forgot to mention that Lillian Garcia is now the ring announcer for Professional Fighters League (PFL).

I'm a simple man. I see What Happened To.... and click for the song

That intro truly doesn’t get old.

Sweater vest > Shield bullet proof vest

Best intro on RU-vid

Bossman was 41 when he passed?! And of a heart attack? Wtf!

So a combination of.... Still with WWE, AEW, Dead, Podcasting, or the obscure odd thing you wouldn't expect

A number of "Captivating Careers" you should do: Harley Race El Santo Giant Baba Antonio Inoki Hiroshi Tanahashi Mick Foley Terry Funk Minoru Suzuki Vader Dusty Rhodes Rey Mysterio Bubba Ray Dudley/Bully Ray

I saw this the night it aired as a kid. Thanks for the video, really takes me back.

Can’t believe Y2J Is older than the Big Show!!!!!

Thank you I enjoyed this program very much. As always the channel produces a very good product that is extremely well researched and presented.

When your favorite superstar of all time is covered last... 😁

This is possibly my favorite intro of anything ever..... even better than game of thrones

I wonder how many are either backstage producers or have a podcast.

Best video series on any wrestling channel. Keep up the great work fellas!

I'll say this now, 2007 was the best year of SmackDown.

Lol what song did u remix 🤣🤣🤣 I love it

Nice video alot of great talent have passed RIP also had no idea Finkel wasn't doing well hope he can pull through. The ones that are alive seem to be doing well. Look at Debra doing her thing. Congrats

Shane McMahon still involved in WWE? I'd not noticed!

That damn intro song is catchy.

So many greats gone. RIP Luna and Sherri, & Chyna. Also, would like to see Shamrock on Smackdowns anniversary show

Its really nice to see most of these people doing well for themselves! Even though they didnt necessarily do well in wrestling, its really heart warming to see most of them succeeding in life post-WWF

Best Theme ever.

The intro always makes me smile

As soon as the title says "what happened" on a cultaholic vid...I'm here just to hear the theme and see Mr pacitti's troll Face

I love the intro song!

I was at the pilot when the Corporate Ministry was born. The New Haven Colosseum isn't even there anymore.

That intro will never get old

Congrats to Maffew! Botchamania got a mention on the GM Mode finale episode by Woods and Breeze. Timestamp 53:13

imo Terrific vid. Vids like this really highlight how much women's wrestling has improved. That said, there were some awesome women wrestlers on SDL back then. imo

Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker are the only two WWF wrestlers to both appeared on the very first Raw and first SmackDown.

The buried alive match big show and under taker against mankind and rock is best of all time

There must be an alternate Universe out there where Test married Stephanie, Triple H retired and Test manages NXT.

Lmao something bout the intro always makes me laugh. Like it.

These videos are more must watch than the wwe this year

Lol “what’s a crown jewel”😂

Quite surprising how many of the superstars on the list are still with the company in some capacity

SmackDown was first broadcast on the exact day of my birth.

You one of my favourite youtuber keep it going on

What song is that beat from in the beginning

I randomly sing "what happened to that wrestler!" When I'm at work. I hate you

What happened to every wrestler in "What Happened To That Wrestler?" song, DO IT PLEASE PACHEEZY!

The "What happened to that wrestler" song is so cringey.......I love it

I'm more shocked that, Billy Gunn is a year older than, The Undertaker.

12 likes 2 views proves how good you are!!!

Time to hear the theme again. :)

4:42 Did King Kong Bundy and Big Show fuse into one being while I wasn't watching?

I miss late 90's and early 00's women's wrestling. I also love today's women's wrestling

I turned 3 the day smackdown debuted that's amazing didnt know that

I still have the wwf smackdown 1/2 games for ps1

Miss all the smackdown wrestlers taka michinoku gail Kim and D Lo Brown.

Very eye catching thumbnail

I was 5 when Smackdown first aired. That’s crazy.

This song is such a bop.

Sometimes I come to these videos and just start screaming *”MASON RYAN, STEVIE RAY, EARTHQUAKE, ALUNDRA BLAYZE”*

Who else watches mainly for the intro song?

Is the theme song to what happen on iTunes??

I can't be the only one who A) needs a full version of that theme song, and B) gets a little emotional during it.

I think they need to have Austin be a talent scout also

Is the opening song on iTunes? I need to download that bad boy

Wasn't this guy part of whatculture ?

AWESOME SONG

If smackdown is on fox on october 4th will they still have a SD on tuesday october 1st?

I’m really glad that you’re my friend

What Happened to every competitor of the cruiserweight classic

Are there any Earthquake vs Bam Bam Bigelow matches on RU-vid? I would like to see them!

Very good

Came back in 2021 to see how many of these people ended up on AEW

And rip all who have missed!!!! Love you

Jericho is also the front runner of a band. Not going to mention that?

Mr.ass men and xpac was my favorite back then

Here for the song, and whatever the hell else they said after it.

Any kid with basic cable was a SmackDown fan.

This video is good shit!!!!

What Happened To Every Wrestler From WWE Smackdown's First Episode? Mason Ryan, Stevie Ray, Earthquake, Alundar Blayze
