Gladly. I'm counting "midcard" as anyone outside of the top 6/7 title contenders. So, on RAW I'm disqualifying HHH, Orton, HBK, Edge, Jericho, Benoit, and Batista. On SmackDown, that's JBL, Angle, Big Show, Booker T, Eddie, and Undertaker.

RAW has some big names in Kane and Flair, but beyond their top five or six midcarders, there isn't much depth at all. You have a lot of unprovens (Hassan), burieds (Tajiri, Rhyno, La Res, Richards, Hurricane), and never-will-bes (Rosey, Tomko).
Once you get past Cena, RVD, and Carlito on SmackDown, you still have a ton of guys getting big rubs from main-eventers (Jindrak, Reigns, Bashams, OJ), guys with worlds of potential (Dupree, Haas), and I still haven't touched the cruiserweights.
That's why I think SmackDown has a deeper midcard.
