There's a reason why you missed Pat McAfee impersonating Vince McMahon.

WWE cut Pat's funny little intro from its 'Throwback' episode of SmackDown, which means the only way you can see his McMahon-ery is to hit up Twitter. Don't worry though, because it's worth the extra effort to see the clean-shaven announcer rip the p*ss out of his own boss.

This retro SmackDown had a ton of other hidden gems on it anyway, including the actual look and feel of the show itself. Anyone looking forward to a proper trip down memory lane for the brand would've been mighty disappointed, but WWE did at least put together some graphics and other moments that had an old-school feel.

It wasn't quite enough, sadly.

Still, stay tuned for Roman Reigns corpsing, Paul Heyman just having the best time, Seth Rollins and Cesaro doing insane transitions that probably won't get much attention, and the returning Jimmy Uso maybe screwing up his promo. Then, both Kevin Owens and Jey Uso almost broke their necks, and Pat ribbed AEW's Jim Ross.

Here's everything you might've missed...
