About SmackDown
Commonly referred to as SmackDown Live, it is a pro wrestling competition hosted by the WWE. SmackDown is currently on its 18th season. The series began back in April of 1999. It has accumulated around 1,000 episodes in the series. The event typically airs on television on Thursday Nights. It is one of the WWE's two weekly programs. The only other weekly WWE program is WWE Raw.
History
The series has gone through many iconic stages. When the production originated they used the TitanTron entrance, commonly referred to as Ovaltron. The early star of SmackDown was Dwayne The Rock Johnson. He usually called SmackDown his show. The name of the series actually originated out of one of The Rock's catchphrases, "Layeth the smack down".
In 2002, the WWE divided itself into two divisions in order to help promote their brand. The divisions were SmackDown and Raw, the WWE's most prominent series. The brand division lasted until 2011. The episode following the dissolve of the division, SmackDown became the longest running weekly series in the television history of the United States. As of 2016, Vince McMahon named Shane McMahon the commissioner of SmackDown.
