I'd have to say the booking and writing. If they booked people in the right spots and wrote them up better promos and such, then the lack of quality main events would be solved, and the cruisers could get more air time.

Really, it comes down to the booking and writing to determine just about everything else..

But who would you have pushed? RVD and BT were not seen as main eventers, aside form them who is left? When Eddie was given the title in Feb it looked like he had months of programs with Kurt and Brock, but they lost both those guys and didn't add anyone of equal value. Thats what more than anything. Yeah the writing has been bad to a point, but its bad on RAW too, and that show hasn't sufferend as much.

Booker and Van Dam weren't seen as main eventers, but about six months ago, could you see JBL as one?

No, but the point is they needed someone right away, they didn't have 6 months to wait. I think their thinking was between Book and JBL, I think they figured Book had been near the top and didn't do much, so go with JBL because A) he's new and B) he's a loyal WWE guy.

Yeah, I understand that the WWE is lacking main eventers on SD! pretty badly, but bad booking and writing certainly does nothing for that situation. If your booking/writing it too poor to come up with decent gimmicks and wrestlers in correct air time, then the other categories occur..

Exactly my point Cynick.

Raw has all the star power and even though the show has been at its worst its ever been(IMO) people still watch it just as much. IMO raw has really sucked and ive been able to watch Smackdown far easier than Raw.
