Line 33:
* [[Short Run in Peru]]: Due to time zone differences, ''[[WWE Smackdown]]'' is aired in Australia, the Philippines, India, the UK and Ireland before it reaches the US. It also previously aired a day earlier in Canada.
* [[Show Stopper]]: When [[Hulk Hogan]] returned to [[WWE]], his applause lasted an entire TV segment (approximately 15 minutes). When they came back from commercial, the crowd was still applauding — but since it wasn't broadcast live, it could have been only a short time after they "went to break" that they stopped. (Or conversely, it could have gone on for even longer.)
* [[Spot Light Spotlight-Stealing Squad]]: Of the [[Tropes Are Not Bad]] variety; the "SmackDown Six" ([[Kurt Angle]], [[Chris Benoit]], [[Edge]], [[Eddie Guerrero]], [[Rey Mysterio]]...[[And Zoidberg|and Chavo Guerrero]]) seemed to make it a mission to steal every TV show and PPV with astounding matches. Paul Heyman, who was the booker of the show, seemed to realize it and basically had the six face each other almost exclusively for the last six months of 2002 to great success.
* [[Stock Footage]]: The show spends a considerable amount of screentime recycling footage of what happened on Raw, particularly during the "Road to Wrestlemania" months.
