I dont get the logic of a taped show being less exciting. I've heard people say... DO NOT SPOIL A GAME FOR ME! -Pro/College sport- but if you actually enjoy it that shouldn't matter who wins or knowing the results. On another note... who wants to watch a crappy match live they can't ffwd over?

When they first introduced it in '99 to '01 before they split rosters Smackdown was an extension to RAW and storylines and I thought it was awesome. Nearly even with RAW.

Yes, raw is like all promos and stuff where smackdown has more wrestling.

JBL is one of the greatest champions in WWE history and he could not make Smackdown more interesting than Raw for me.
Raw is the A show, always has, always will be.

After the rosters were first split, Smackdown was far better than Raw. Raw was nearly unwatchable until Bischoff showed up and HBK returned full time. So from early '02-early '03, I preferred Smackdown over Raw. After last year's draft, I'd go so far as to say that Raw was my C show until they did another trade in the summer. Almost all of my favorites at the time were on Smackdown or ECW and Raw was a boring series of Orton/Batista and Cena/Big Show.

Last year I loved Smackdown, after the draft, the Cryme Time vs JeriShow fued was entertaining, Zigglers rise, Mysterio/Jericho, Hardy/Punk.

I always enjoyed Smackdown! more during the time period of 2003-2005ish, but I still recognized that Raw was still considered the 'A-Show'.

Everyone seemed to prefer it in late 2002 or so, when the wrestling was really good on SD.

Since most of the main event stars minus Edge, Taker, Rey were all moved to Raw......its basically been THE ONLY show. Raw is 100 minutes of Cena, Nexus, Michael Cole, HHH, DX, Batista, guys like that. Then you get 10 minutes of Miz, Santino, A Guest Host and a recap of whatever Cena has done tonight and then 10 minutes of ads/not commericials and 15 minutes of Ted Dibiase, Evan Bourne, CM Punk, Hart Dynasty and a Woman's match.
Smackdown, you get 2 hours of stoytelling, entertainment and WRESTLING. You'll see main eventers, mid carders and low carders. Witty banter by Matt Striker and a silly Raw recap.

Nexus wasn't even around for HHH, DX or Batista. Thanks for playing. We rarely have a guest host these days. Your time adds up to 2 hours and 15 minutes and you said that doesn't include commercials. How ing long do you think the show is? There are so many other things wrong with what you said, but those are the main three. Either you haven't watched Raw in a while or you are imagining things.

RAW and Smackdown were on level terms in 2001 before the brand extension.
Smackdown was boss in late 2002, and I enjoyed it more than RAW in 2003 as well.
Mid-way through 2005, when the week by week Draft took place, both shows were equally entertaining.
RAW was just about the better show in early 2006, and especially once the ECW invasion happened.
Then came a couple of years where I didn't watch either.
This past year RAW has been more of a must-watch show than Smackdown, with Bret Hart returning, Nexus, anonymous GM, Miz cashing in etc etc. Smackdown is good but much of the same each week.

No, mainly because when I was younger I never got home on thursday early enough to see the whole thing. And recently its switched channels so much that I never knew what channel it was on, not to mention that I didnt get it in hd until like 2 years after I got raw in hd.
