Clearly it’s not,

Raw is getting almost double the viewing figures, however, it does have the advantage of having a much bigger market to project to, why USA never tried to get Smackdown was confusing to me, as I always thought it was a big ratings winner for them, so cross-promoting with Smackdown on a Friday would have been in everyone’s interest, IMO

My statement was from a fan's standpoint. Clearly SD is the superior show compared to WWE's "flagship" RAW. I know Raw draws more of an audience b/c if USA being one of the top cable channels and the fact it airs on Monday nights. The only thing IMO that really hurts SD ratings and audience is b/c the fact it airs on Fridays. I am the only person in my circle of friends who will sit at home on a friday night and watch wrestling.
