I love wrestlers on Smackdown, but hate them on Raw...

When I watch Smackdown it feels like I can appreciate and enjoy characters much more than on Raw. There have been so many guys that I've loved when they were on Smackdown but hated as soon as they got drafted to Raw, and vice-versa.

People like CM Punk - couldn't stand him on Raw but as soon as he got a new surrounding on Smackdown, I like him. Same with Rey Mysterio, I find him much more tolerable on Fridays. I thought Michael Cole was a superb play by play commentator in his years on Smackdown, but he's been embarrassing to listen to on Raw, and I now look forward to hearing JR on commentary on Smackdown rather than when he was on Raw and he sounded like he didn't give a shit. I could go on about many more people here.

Do any of you feel like this? You might not know as many of you don't watch Smackdown, or not on a weekly basis anyway. It must be because they're given more time on Smackdown, every week you're guaranteed a full 2 hours of lengthy matches which I love, as opposed to Raw which just feels rushed and more often than not you're lucky to see a 10 minute main event. Guaranteed that if you put someone who I wasn't a fan of on Raw over to Smackdown, I'd probably grow to appreciate that character.
