The last time Smackdown was any good was in 2004 and even then it was sinking. This week's Smackdown sucked. It sucks because all these new guys get signed on to Smackdown more than raw and some talents on smackdown they decide to waste. They waste Jillian's talents.Jillian was clearly the better wrestler. I dont care if Cristal can do a goddamn headscissors! She is less talented than Jillian but yet she HAD to win that goddamn match. The only actual talent they have there is Taker(he should be on Raw), but he barely shows up anymore.(dont get me wrong, Batista is great too, but Smackdown seems to suit him more). Then there's Matt Hardy. When he came back to the WWE, he was all up in the spotlight, but ever since he came to Smackdown he was thrown away like a useless peice of trash. And I aint the only one who notices that Vince doesnt show up there anymore. It seem like he's made Raw his #1 priority. Call me whiny if you want but thats how its been on Smackdown lately

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this. When I first started watching wrestling all I ever watched was Smackdown! and it seemed pretty cool at the time but when I discovered Raw I realized that Smackdown! was the B-show. It used to be good but now it is just crap. One reason is because they took away all the really good superstars and now use a bunch of new nobodies in the majority of their matches. I honestly haven't watched Smackdown! that much at all for the past 3 months until Batista finally came back. The show was nothing without him... It also sucks that their most popular wrestler only makes appearences here and there (The Undertaker). Smackdown! hardly has any divas at least ones who actually can wrestle. The main talent is all on Raw. Raw also has all of the legends like Triple h , and HBK, and Kane and guys who will definetly be in the hall of fame one of these days. Another reason Raw is better is because they host the annual Diva Search which is always a fun waste of time. I guess I really just don't like the cruiserweights very much, I'm more into the power guys. Though Rey Mysterio has pretty good matches. People always say that talking and having skits is a waste of time but that is what Raw does the most and it seems to be working so far. I definetly look forward to Monday nights more than Friday nights when it comes to what to watch on Tv, that is for sure.

Good thinking.. Yeah.. I hope SD! will completely go off air at the end of this year or beginning 2007. Dont get me wrong, but i like SD! i like the matches alot, but with entertainment i give it a 1. The only reason i watch it is because of the talent, i love watching London and Kendrick and their advanced wrestling skills and high flying skills.. Jillian is ugly, well.. SD! is trash, Vince is never involved with SD! he is way too much in the storylines in Raw, and it seems like, SD! is alone, away from Raw and ECW. I wondered why is ECW not going to do something in SD!? The only reason they came there was to pick up Kurt Angle and to take him away. SD! got great talent, true, and they are all used up and those 'undefeatable' newbies take over SD! for example, that dude that won like 4 or 5 weeks in a row with that other dude as manager, the guy that made his debut by defeaten Matt Hardy. Matt Hardy is being used horribly, he looses like half of the matches he gets or even more than that. Batista is the so called animal he is so great and everything, not in my opinion. And the mainevent only seems to turn around Batista, King Booker, Finlay and Bobby Lashley. Raw got different kinds of mainevents. Raw is too much, WWE should devide this whole thing easily, ECW is way too much involved in Raw, every single time you watch an episode of Raw, ECW gets mentioned or something or Paul Heyman comes along and makes matches but that has cooled down a little. Yes Paul Heyman invited some wrestlers from SD! but it was still no good.. I just want these sports entertainment programmes to merge together or SD! just has to go off air. I have always thought it sucked. But i dont blame Raw for having all the excitement and all the ratings, it has been the longest running show out of the three programmes. SD! got all the talent, but it lacks entertainment. Raw got all entertainment but lacks talent alot. SD! got about only like, 4 divas or something? WTF? Raw got about, ten or something, SD! needs a makeover, sorry for such a long answer! Have a nice day!

You are not being whiny at all, I totally agree with everything you said, Undertaker is one of the greatest wrestlers in history, Smackdown is getting killed in the ratings, They have no good storylines, and W W E is wasting their time and money with that stupid show. The "Khali vs. Undertaker" feud was soooo boring, and the "Rey vs. Chavo" feud is just wrong, Vince is using Eddie's Death to make money and sell tickets, trying to keep Smackdown afloat. That is very low, I'm actually surprised Vince is that desperate. If I was him I would take SOME Smackdown superstars to RAW then take some more to E C W.

I agree. Smackdown is clearly the second citizen of the WWE, no argument. However, I prefer it over RAW. Smackdown is more like a Neo-Superstars, the show from the 80's. They have all the gimmicks on SD, and all RAW really has is Vince, DX, The Spirit Squad, Cena, Edge, and Umaga, every week over and over again. For variety, Smackdown is #1. Yes, there may be way too many guys on the SD roster, but I'd take more guys on one show than a handful of the same guys every week on the other.

Wow!!! You hit it right on the head. The other people that criticize you about saying Smackdown sucks are too blind to really see anything. Just like you, I also watch Smackdown just because Taker is there. I also think the whole new talent initiative sucks. A redneck asian??? The **** has really hit the fan on Smackdown!!!

People forget that SmackDown! was better than RAW like 2000 to early 2004. Vince was always on SmackDown! until Stephanie wasn't GM anymore and that whole Lesnar departure. I like RAW too but SmackDown! will get better soon, hopefully.

You just need to do what I do, I TiVo smackdown and fast forward through all the crappy stuff, and cut to either the taker, batista or lashley matches. They are the only ones worth watching, so basically I only end up watching for only a half hour.

Agreed. Smackdown sucks. They're probably gonna move Jillian to RAW someday.

I totally agree with you! I was watching Smackdown yesterday and it suckz, I mean the only wrestlers that I think are worth watching are the Undertaker, and Bastista, because the others just suck.
And believe me I, I know I've been watching wresling since I was 9 years old.

i think smackdown sucks too they got all these crappy new wrestlers. raw has all the better ones. plus the storyline on smackdown sucks. booker T sucks and he is the best smackdown has to offer? please. i can kick his *** in his own game cheating that is ofcourse. batista sucks now too before his surgery he was huge strong now he lost like 40 pounds of muscle he is soo tiny now. but smackdown does suck. i cant wait for boogeyman to come back though. smackdown is boring i like raw thats interesting.
