Why do you watch ROH? It's taped weeks in advance in a ridiculous time slot. It has no real stars and very small crowds in bingo halls. If SmackDown! is second rate, ROH is 5th rate.

Because the announcers treat each talent, regardless of what slot/weight they are on the card like they're top fucking talent. They give the talent adequate time to showcase their abilities and appreciate them. Each show has a feeling of importance.

WWE has 3-7 minute matches where nothing really happens except things to either sell merch or forward storylines.

ROH matches, while scripted, show people who really give a shit about their craft. Working hard and putting their bodies through shit every match.

The production makes the show look like it's important. The video package showcase talents personalities before it showcases their in-ring ability.

SmackDown often has lame interviews, Cole shitting all over ACTUAL fucking wrestlers because of a "lack of charisma" and never lets them showcase ANYTHING. Even on Raw fucking people get a chance to have a match once in awhile, and JR at least attempts to give it some credibility.

You're attempting to compare A Lemon to A Ham. It doesn't work. Yes, they're both food - but that's literally the only thing they have in common.

Feel like SD has plenty of good/competative/lengthy matches.
