Well, Smackdown didn't really make Eddie. He was already made.

Okay, here's my problem: I can't "feel" Smackdown. It has a lot of elements I like, for example,

Hell, I like Long as GM.

So where's the problem? Glad you asked...
  1. Lack of a "main eventer" status. Okay, so you've got Undertaker. He makes Smackdown seem like TNA or WCW...Let's put some aging legend on top in hopes that he'll draw. You have JBL. Good at promos in his current gimmick, but SHIT, this fucker makes Triple H matches look good. Big Show? Good God, it's a miracle he's not dead
  2. Half the stars are barely used. They brag about the Cruisers being exclusive to Smackdown, but so fucking what? IT's like bragging that Triple H's nuts are exclusive to Raw...Except we're more likely to see those. Of the half that are used, most of them are fodder for the old guys. Hello, main reason I barely ever watch TNA...Let's give Heidenreich a major push, then squash him. Now let's push him again, and squash him. Now let's push him again and... Here's an idea...Let's have Eddie doing tag bouts for a worthless tag title.
  3. The announcers. I can't get into Michael Cole. Tazz is solid, Cole is horrible. They combined (Chain is as strong as its weakest link) make JR/King look good.
  4. Inuries: And you know, I know this isn't their fault, but it seems like half the roster's crippled. Dammit, I want to see Carlito in a more active role than "I want to get rid of Teddy Long."
Still, the good is enough to keep me watching. However, Raw feels the more solid show. Believe me, I hate to say that. Most of my faves are on Smackdown. It's just the weaker show. Now, I'm hoping that changes with/after Wrestlemania, but come on...We've got the likes of Orton, Batista, and Michaels (Hey, he's a geezer, but he's putting on a better show than most) in the main event scene, or we can have...JBL vs Big Show, with a short lived Angle Interlude.
