I just like Smackdown more because of the better roster. If you really think about it Smackdown roster upstages the raw roster with their own -Chris Benoit-Batista -Eddie Guerrero-Undertaker ect who all are a Hell of a hand to the Smackdown product!

 

mackdown has more star power than raw of Chris Benoit, Batista, Undertaker, and many others such as Road Warrior Animal.. who funny enough also are all my fav wrestlers!

 

Raw do have Hogan, Austin ect but if you think about it, they never Wrestle or are boring in the ring. Unlike the Smackdown superstars which are great IMO.

 

what brand do you like more?

Neither. Aside from some cosmetic differences the shows are written and booked in exactly the same way. If SD was booked properly, with the focus on wrestling-based storylines and the spotlight on the cruiserweights my answer would be different, but it isn't.

If you only gave the options of Raw or SD, I'd have taken SD.

 

Since you gave neither, I picked that since ROH, TNA, Lucha, and my old puro tapes dwarf Raw and SD in quality.

Smackdown. Raw is once again the "McMahon Show", and Smackdown is actually enjoyable to me these days.

I completely gave up on Smackdown last year to the point where I pretty much didn't even read the spoilers anymore. It bored me that much. Granted, I'd be willing to give it another try, but there is no way I'm staying home on a Friday night. Raw by default.

I chose SmackDown even though that's the one I don't watch anymore due to Friday nights being when you go out and hang out.

 

Since I have nothing to do or watch on Monday, I watch Raw although I wish it were SD with Benoit, Christian, JBL, Rey, Eddie and Batista.

 

RAW has Angle and...that's it...oh wait, Trish is nice to look at :P

Neither are worth my time anymore. I almost never watch either of the shows (I havn't seen anything of Smackdown in months). I ocasionally watch a segment or 2 of RAW and I still read about what happens. From reading on the net, I'd have to pick Smackdown over RAW for the last few weeks, but since there was a 'neither' option I choose TNA.

I'm sure this isn't the most popular opinion but I voted for Raw because Smackdown doesn't have Triple H. Yeah, I said it. I'm a mark.

 

Also, Maria isn't on Smackdown. :D

I voted for Smackdown since the show is never hideously bad it seems like, whereas Raw tends to go off the deep end with stuff like the McMahons/JR angle the other night.

 

You know, reading this is interesting. It seems like a lot of people on here give this same act of "WWE sucks now, I don't watch it anymore." I find it curious. Why would someone who no longer cared about the shows and didn't watch anymore actually spend time posting on a WWE forum? I do still watch the shows, but if I ever stop I'd probably have little reason to post on this forum (which isn't to say I wouldn't still visit the sports, movies, etc.).

Some people are eternally miserable and enjoy bitching about everything.

 

None as much as me, though.

I voted Smackdown, and the only reason it isn't neither is because there are enough guys on Smackdown that I still like watching to enjoy the show most weeks (although dud shows certainly do occur). Every once in a while they still put on a great show, but the average show is still enjoyable enough despite many flaws.

 

With RAW, I have trouble even enjoying the 'good' shows because aside from two or three guys the talent is really lacking and lately they've been wasting them in feuds with deadweight like Chris Masters & Ric Flair. When Ric Flair holds the second highest belt on the show, there is a major problem with the talent level. Even if they decide to push Benjamin, that's just one guy and he can't make up for the enormous talent deficit by himself.

 

So like I said, a case can certainly be made for neither, especially if you dislike Taker & JBL (I don't), but even if you do the rest of the card outside of the top level is very much skewed in Smackdown's favour. RAW can put on better main events than Smackdown at times, but the show's midcard is barren and an absolute chore to sit through to get to said main event.

She is a legend, shame she isn't on the forum anymore. Shit happens.

 

I voted Smackdown! cause they have better matches and better wrestlers as well. Cruiserweight Division > Womens Division. Ken Kennedy > Carlitfro (Edge's joke) etc....only bad thing about SD! is probably Orlando Jordan getting more air time then the Mexicools and Paul London & Spanky together... :bonk:
