I didn't watch the show at the time, but I hear people saying it was awesome. What was it?

It was around the second half of 2002. There were three teams feuding with each other.

Edge & Rey Mysterio (Face), Los Guerreros (Heel), and Kurt Angle & Chris Benoit (Tweeners).

Angle and Benoit were fueding themselves at the time, but Stephanie McMahon said they'd be suspended if they didn't work as a team.

This was when Benoit and Angle became the first WWE Tag team champions on Smackdown.

The result was a lot of great matches using any combination of the sixs superstars, and two of the more remembered matches were Benoit & Angle VS Edge & Rey Mysterio at No Mercy 2002, and the three-team tag match at Survivor Series 2002. Overall it was very good booking. And with Lesnar and Big Show in the main event scene, it was generally I very good time for Smackdown.

Also I believe Paul Heyman was booking. :y:

It was the only great thing happening in the WWE in late 2002.

2 of the six are dead.
2 of the six are injured.
1 of the six is in TNA.

Chavo is da man. :y: (Even if he is the only Smackdown Sixer who will never be a champion).

Unless he goes to ECW. :Shifty:

Benoit & Angle VS Edge & Rey Mysterio at No Mercy 2002 is the greatest tag match of all-time for me.

Smackdown Six were unbelievable.

I loved the 2/3 falls tag match between them on Smackdown as well.

2 of the six are dead.
1 of the six is in TNA.

There isn't a glaring difference there. :shifty:

Ahh yeah.

Man I miss those days, it wasn’t just the tag matches though, I mean some of the one on ones back then were awesome, Eddie and Edge in a cage was great stuff.
