One last hurrah on the wrestling forum?
Ok - I know I've said it before and I'll probably say it again in a few years, but these could be my last TEN (10) posts on the wrestling forum...ever. I haven't been a WWE regular viewers for a number of years now, but I'll try and throw my $0.02 here.
As I discussed with The CyNick a few years ago, Smackdown's BIGGEST problem is that it's in a perpetual state of a "work in progress." In other words, Smackdown never gets to be a "finished product of beauty", because all/most of their top talent is ultimately moved to RAW (i.e. Carlitto, Kennedy, Shelton Benjamin, Matt Hardy, Chris Benoit, Booker T, etc., etc., etc.).
Just when a Smackdown star is on the verge of becoming huge, he gets moved to RAW. Period. Smackdown basically becomes a place for people to go if there's "no place to go" on RAW (i.e. Edge).
By creating a 3rd show (ECW), the WWE have hurt Smackdown's depth even moreso. When you try and add a 3rd show like the WWE has.....management has to ask itself the following:
"Does adding this 3rd show make the WWE better?.....or does it just hurt the depth of the other 2 shows?"
In this case, I think the answer is pretty obvious.
Another thing that COMPLETELY boggles my mind, is how the WWE never capitalized on John Cena vs. Dave Batista. I mean seriously, WTF?
Anyway, that's my $0.02 for now.
