So which is the better show?
Smackdown or raw?

Well im going to go with Smackdown

On smackdown they have decent wrestling matches between the likes of angle, misterio ,taker and randy orton. whilst on raw they feed us some bullcrap with cena. They also have the better matchs threw out all the divisions, and they actually have a tag division which doesn't involve squash matchs everyweek.

Raw has plummeted down in terms of quality, in just a couple of months it has gone from the show that everyone wanted to watch and felt was the better show, to now being the one that hardly anyone ever cares about anymore because it's got nothing about it and has that cretin john cena on it.

And Smackdown hasn't plummeted in quality? It's that bad that Mark Henry isn't the worst on the show.

At least there have been a few angles on Raw that have captured my attention. Michaels vs McMahon might not be the classic that Austin/McMahon was, but at least there's substance. There's the spirit squad, Carlito and masters, The women's angle with Mickie james.

They have a pirate on smackdown

And occasionally Regal vs Benoit.

eh, I happen to love that pirate

Anyway I wanna' go with SmackDown!, for wrestling quality. Not specifically the quality of wrestling, but the quality of the matches. I'm really enjoying what Finlay, Hardy, Lashley, Benoit, etc. have been doing in matches recently. Add Helms to that list and on occasion the other cruiserweights and you have some good exciting matches appearing on SmackDown!.

As far as RAW goes, you can't deny how good some of RVD and Shelton's stuff has been recently. The Triple Threat with Flair was specifically good. But apart from that there is no other really good wrestling on RAW, and that is what I watch this stuff for!

Storyline-wise, both shows suck. These are rehashed uninteresting stories we've seen time and again. God wrestling is boring these days.

It'll pick up though, it always does. Just unfortunate that Wrestlemania has to suffer.

The only reason I would say smackdown is JBL and Angle, so Raw.

I haven't seen Smackdown in months. A combination of forgetting and just not caring will explain it.

Orton, JBL, Angle, Mysterio, and Benoit pretty much make Smackdown. Outside those guys though, There really isn't much going on.

I can't believe people still watch Smackdown. And you know what gets to me, everybody saying "the wrestling is better on Smackdown." NO IT'S NOT! Tell me how the wrestling is better, better pure wrestlers? Possibly, that doesn't make for better wrestling, especially if there's no story to base the wrestling off of. The wrestling on smackdown is just as watered down as Raws.

Raw has:
the McMahons/HBK angle (boring)
the Mickie/Trish angle (not bad)
HHH/Cena (Hunter carrying this)
the Candice/Torrie feud (*snore*)
Carlito/Masters vs. Kane/Show (crap)
Edge/Foley (decent)
Spirit Squad (meh)

Smackdown has:
Orton/Rey/Angle (pretty good)
JBL/Benoit (JBL is gold, should be good although lacking development)
Lashley/Finlay (good feud)
Booker/Boogeyman (decent buildup but will be shitty match)
Henry/Taker (no buildup)
MNM vs. ??? (whatever)
Burchill (so cheesy its funny)

I'd give the edge to Smackdown

Smackdown Has Paul Burchill/William Regal. Which in my opinion is the best fued in WWE at the moment. Ok Edge/Mick Foley has had a good build-up but the wrestling will be average. Don't take me wrong I like Edge/Foley but I am looking forward to seeing something HARDCORE and I think I may be disappointed. Im not expecting something like the HIAC but being hit with barbed wire just isn't enough to excuse Micks wrestling ability in recent years. However I will gladly eat my own words after WM22 if im proved wrong about the hardcore match.

Either way SMACKDOWN bang bang

Going with Raw on this one.

Smackdown has a handful of people that I personally care about (MNM, Angle, JBL, Benoit, Booker, Orton, Burchill, etc.), whereas I rarely miss a match on Raw, even if it IS a Women's match.

RAW is harder for me to get through. The useless segments on it frustrate me. RAW had around half an hour wrestling this week, yet SmackDown! had some pretty good stuff.

Watch Benoit/Regal, Mysterio/Finlay and any of MNM's matches and tell me that they are worse than the stuff on RAW. I will constantly disgaree. SmackDown! isn't working at full capacity, but it still produces more excitement in the ring than RAW.

So if you only watch a segment or two how do you know it's shit? You can't just judge the entire brand on one segment, let alone one week's show.
