Every WWE Smackdown Intro Ranked – From Worst To Best

25. Late 2004

I’m sorry, but the SmackDown intro from the tail end of 2004 was just plain bad.

First off, the theme song was rather lacking. The guitar just seemed to drone a little and give the whole thing a slightly sluggish vibe. Plus, there weren’t any lyrics, or even any of the incomprehensible garbling that we’ve been treated to in years gone by.

The accompanying video, meanwhile, was arguably just as lacklustre. Sure, we got plenty of shots of a pretty star-studded roster, but they were all superimposed onto a SmackDown-branded background, which made this feel like it was filmed in a studio or a warehouse rather than in the thick of the action in the ring.

All in all, a forgettable means by which to get the show underway.
