For years people go out of their way to watch Raw, most of those same people occasionally watch Smackdown. You can't put a major star like Sting on Smackdown.

First off, the explanations for your a and b are:
a) That's because of them being on UPN, who NEEDS to get more markets (the WWE is thinking about moving SmackDown to FOX, which would be very helpful in that, but in turn, would hinder the TNA deal).
b) That is BECAUSE there's not many main event heels to let the WWE Champ, Eddie, have a feud with (and why they are pushing JBL as hard as they are right now). And that is WHY they need Sting over on SmackDown. The reason many are not caring about SD is because Eddie is more or less carrying THE ENTIRE BRAND right now, and even
I would crack under THAT kind of pressure. Yeah, Cena is mad over, but he's unfortunatly not being looked at as much of a calibur yet as Eddie is right now. Everyone else who could be a big star there is eiter injured or not there anymore (Angle is injured and playing the GM role right now, who KNOWS what happened to Big Show, Booker is unfortunatly going to be stuck in midcard hell for awhile, and they downright REFUSE to push RVD to that height for some weird and odd reason). Having Sting on the roster would REALLY help them out by giving them another main event-calibur star to work with. Plus, if he would end up on RAW, then, as I said before, the roster would then have TOO many top stars, and some would be buried under such a roster. You want them to fix the shallow SD roster, but then don't want someone there who can help fix the very same problem you want fix. Yeah, makes TOTAL sense to me (sorry, but I've seen a common problem with some wrestling fans who want something done to fix something, but then complain when it IS done because it's not in the way they want it. Bugs me to HELL).
