Smackdown is already lacking in star power. I realize that Edge will be back shortly, but..........
I dont really think 'star power' is an issue.

A: Nobody draws, not Hunter, not Lesnar, not Austin, not anyone.

B: Benoit isn't really a huge star in terms of drawing, and in all likelyhood he wont ever become one.

On top of that SD still has Taker, Edge, Cena (strongest candidate in the company to become a breakthrough star) and Eddie (who is very over in the Hispanic markets).

On RAW, they will lose Goldberg, and then there's HHH, Orton (in the near future), Jerihco and HBK. I think its pretty even at this point.

RAW does seem to have more star power because of Austin, Rock and Foley all appearing on RAW, but all those guys are not going to draw money for the company, so its kinda irrelevant.
