Raw or Smackdown?


I personally like Smackdown's set more.

For some reason, the raw set, to me, is more like a generic set, like what all wrestling sets should look like. I find the blue floor(i think its blue), blue ropes, the creative positioning of the titan-trons and the fist make smackdown's set more "homely".

However, the smackdown set is badly missing something.....a ramp!!! Smackdown really need to get a ramp for the wrestlers to walk down to. It seems so stupid that the wrestlers walk in to the arena at a lower level than the ring is at. I imagine it also makes it alot harder for the fans to see the wrestlers walk in.


opinions...

I know this may sound really daft, but the Raw set doesn't suit Heat, yet the Smackdown set suits Velocity, and yet I prefer the Raw set to the Smackdown set.

Smackdown set does need some sort of ramp, but only if it can allow Eddie's car onto it somehow. That might have been one of the reasons as to why they scrapped it in the first place

Yeah, they did, they got rid of it maybe a year ago... When Eddie started coming out in low riders... That I believe is the main reason for it, and MAYBE to be a little diffrent than RAW... Alot of the time, whenever RAW has a ramp, they do a car/truck spot...

Anyway, I like RAW better... I think it's because I find the SmackDown! fist cheesy...

Smackdown should have a flat ramp that goes straight to the ring ala old WCW and ECW.
I don't like the Smackdown set, there's too much going on. I guess I just like generic looking sets like Raw. Raw could use a bit of an upgrade but it's alright.

I think Smackdown looks boring and cold but I think RAW has a more WWE feel to it and it kinda looks warmer.

No comparison, Raw.

The colors of Smackdown's set are way too vibrant, and contrasting for my taste. Looks more like a Saturday morning rasslin' show for 10 years olds for me, than a prime time show.

I like Raw's color scheme, but the arrows around the Titan Tron are kinda retarded. Smackdown's "Fist of God"thing is awesome.

I think its bolts of lightning around the RAW titantron.

I like Smackdown's sooo much more. Raw's is good, but I'm not a fan of the slanted Titan Tron, and whatever the hell those coloured thingies are on the side. The Raw setup previous to this one is my favorite.

I the raw set now is cool but I prefer the raw set before they changed it to the cuttent with the video screens off to the side.

Raw set is better but Raw needs to change it's set.

They both needs to change the set. WWE also need a new logo.

I think they need to give Smackdown the Raw set and see how the product would change. Appearence means alot in tv. Remember when Raw change the set,it gave the show a whole new feel. I also would like to see Raw with Smackdown set, I wonder how would the product change the Raw brand.

My favorite set is the original Smackdown set. I also like the plain Nitro set from 96.

Obviously you don't know when Smackdown is on in the UK

I think the reason Smackdown doesn't have a ramp is because they would have to share it with RAW, and it must be a pain in the ass shifting it from RAW to SD every week. I'm pretty sure they used to share the same ring, but now SD has a new ring with the silver turnbuckles and all. Not sure though :-\
