Hmmmm,
After RE-READING the thread that I created, I can honestly say that I was a bit..............high at the time.
All in all however, I still think I *DO* have a point.
Is Smackdown inevitably destined to "fail?" (based on the way management itself perceives and treats Smackdown?).
If Smackdown is still making money (due to advertisers, etc.), yet still have a sub-par product (to which attendance, PPV buyrates, etc. start going WAY down), then I guess its not a big deal...........because they're still making a profit.
I admittedly don't know much about the "business" side of things (which is why my initial post came across as........ridiculous
), but it just hurts me personally (as a fan) to see that MANAGEMENT itself has limited respect for Smackdown.
I also think what REALLY hurts Smackdown right now, is that there are no real intense rivalries going on right now (or atleast the ones that the fans can care about).
I'll post more on this later.
