Smackdown! becoming second rate?

[13]

I just read the post on the front page and saw it at Rajahs too. Does everyone think it's true? I kinda feel that they're taking the essence away from Smackdown! by taking so many people and sending them to Raw but I believe the problem could be fix by swapping a few guys over to Smack down. Here's my list of RAW guys that should go to Smackdown!:

Matt Hardy- He should've never left because now the only time he gets air time is in squashmatches against Benoit and such. If they build him right again he'd be a great competitor for Cena or for Chavo.

Chris Jericho- Not getting the main event spots he deserves and if he moves over to Smackdown he could be a huge competitor for the Undisputed Belt against either Guerrero or Angle.

Lance Storm- Maybe somehow they could salvage his carreer and make him into a feared and worthy competitor again over on Smackdown

Test- Not doing too much right now and actually a solid competitor. I could see a Test Cena fued. Or maybe they could resurface the A-train and put Test and A-train tagging again. (I know it didn't go that great the first time but maybe with a proper build....)

Probably some of the low carders too but those are the main ones. If we did this then RAW would still have a solid roster and Smackdown would be pretty close to being equal. Also, without Jericho, Christian might get buried and if that's the case maybe they should take him too

I still think they'll do something with Smackdown after Wrestlemania. They have to really, don't they. I'm waiting for the outcomes of Wrestlemania before I decide what.

Smackdown has always been the second rate program. Look at all the main eventers, they remeber a time when it was the second rate program.

Why do you think the Rock is on RAW, its the flagship show.

They need to put all the old guys on RAW, and actually do something with them.

Move all the young guys to Smackdown, and let them build it.

They must do something after mania, they just have to. I mean, look at No Way Out for an example. There were 2 matches on that card that only had like 1 week's build up, and the only reason they were on there was to make up the numbers, even then they only had 7 matches when there usually is 8. They should send people who deserve the worlds title on RAW but probably will never get it, eg. RVD, Booker T.

NWO only had three weeks of buildup period. Don't use that as an example.

Personally, I'm on the view that SD! should be where the younger and more athletic wrestlers work while RAW is for the veterans and is more entertainment oriented.

right now it's more like Sunday Night Heat

I had always thought of SD as a second rated show..

[PureHatred]

Right now, Smackdown is definitely second rate.

If SD loses Lesnar and Edge goes to Raw, I think it would behoove(love using that word) the WWE to move some guys. I think Christian would make a great headline heel on SD!. RVD could move just cuz it seems he's missed his shot on Raw. And La Resistance should go to SD because the show needs some quality tag teams. Plus I could then read the spoilers to know whether Rene Dupree does his dance; thereby decidng whther the show is worth watching.

Benoit shouldn't have been brought over to Raw in the first place. Especially since they're not going to give him the title.

And now Edge is coming over to Raw, too. And again, he's not going to get anywhere near the Title. If anything, they'll just job him out to Orton and Batista.

SD is, more or less, absolutely f</>ucked at this point. Benoit's gone, Brock's leaving (apparently), Edge is going to Raw, and there's no guarantee if Eddie or Cena's going to be able to carry the show. And all for what? So Trips can have another person to bury?

I'd keep going, but this whole thing just makes me too f</>ucking angry.
