There isn't one thing about Raw that I like better than Smackdown, barring the few exceptional wrestlers they have (Benoit, Jericho, Christian, Storm, etc.), but they rarely get the pushes they deserve. I had been only watching Smackdown since the Rumble (seeing one or two RAWs along the way), and started watching Raw again after Benoit got the title, but it just seems so stale in every aspect, and even Benoit couldn't make it appealing to me anymore. It's like the whole atmosphere is dull and tired or something, the booking is so generic IMO, and it never really captures my attention. It's like they aren't making any new stars or anything, just hanging on to old names from yesteryear (except for the (IMO) generic orton, and the awesome Christian). Maybe it's that the last few episodes have sucked? did I miss some exceptional shows or something?
However, with Bradshaw's push, Heyman leaving, Angle no longer wrestling, a stupid cowboy Undertaker and Big Show being two of the few remaining big names, and number of other issues may make Smackdown less enjoyable for me in the future, but as long as Eddie is headlining as champ, I'll be interested.
EDIT: Oh, and the cruiserweight division kicks ass. Why they traded Tajiri, especially as he was in a stable, I have no ****ing idea.
