So what’s your point?
You make some valid arguments, but its not the fans or the posters on these boards fault we don’t give two shits about SD.
Pretty much since the day of the brand split, Smackdown has been given the B-show treatment. Not by the fans, but by the WWE itself.
You could make an argument that the better matches were happening on SD. And that, especially initially, SD had the more talented roster. And there was the hope that with the roster split, the cruisers would have more room to work on SD.
So what happens? Over time the WWE makes move after move that ends up benefiting Raw. Benoit. Edge. The Triple H trade. And of course, the whole time the cruisers get grounded. And in every instance (other than Rey) whenever a big name was going to debut or make a special return (like Rock or Austin) they appeared on Raw. Not to mention the constant digs that the writers make by having workers refer to SD as the B Show or the minor leagues or whatever.
It adds up after a while. People don’t care about SD for the most part not because of some inate dislike for the brand, but because the WWE has gone out of its way to tear the show down.
So send your manifesto to Stamford. If the WWE doesn’t care about the show, then why as a fan should I?
