SmackDown! isn't perfect, I'll be the first to admit that, but it's still miles ahead of RAW.
A few things have been pissing me off about it, though. First was MVP and Theodore Long's treatment of the Inferno Match. I like both guys, and I think this could have something more to do with the writing rather than their performances; but the goal of the match is to BURN YOUR FUCKING OPPONENT!!!! That's some serious shit, but the way they were talking about it, anyone would think MVP was just told his valet couldn't be at ringside.
I haven't seen The Miz's segment yet, but how are worms worse than monkey brains and cow tongue? I mean, I can understand why a guy wouldn't necessarily optionally choose to eat worms, but it seems more fitting than eating cow tongue, or monkey brains.
And finally, this one kind of follows on from the worms thing: the creepy characters on SmackDown! are shit. Why would anyone be afraid of The Undertaker and The Boogeyman? It's obvious they have management sent up these little charades. Granted, if a guy could do that, it would be pretty scary, but if The Undertaker can create lightning, why doesn't he electricute Mr. Kennedy? That's right, because it's fucking BULLSHIT! It's just getting to the point where I feel stupid watching it. The Undertaker's gay ring attire doesn't help.
-Worms are not in, and of themselves, scary
-It is obvious when the WWE uses pyro and special effects
It is impossible for me to get into storylines based around these concepts. When the WWE looses the stupid, unpheasable shit, then we'll talk.
