I did like Smackdown 02-03.
I still prefer Smackdown to Raw atm.
Everything isn't as overdone and sensationalized as Raw and I think that makes a show more so than everything being centred on 4 guys.

I've always seen Raw as the better show and still do, and I'm including 2003/2004.

I always considered raw the bigger show but I remember when 03-04 they were much more advanced than Raw was. But that was sorta when the fall off WWe started. I still dont think any of the shows now can compete with the ones from 1999-02

I never thought I would say this, but TNA puts on a better 2hr show then Raw or SD I 100% agree ive always thought Impact has been better than raw or smackdown. especially with raw getting very bad ratings and becoming desperate ala million dollar mania and the reuse of old fueds

Nope. Don't ever recall SmackDown being a better show. That's probably because it hasn't.

In all honesty, i still like SD better than Raw. Raw may have a bunch of main eventers but its a drowning pool with nothing much exciting. Anyone else make the connection to the SD theme song there? Its ironic isnt it. Ive noticed it before, the songs should swap although wanna be loved suits Raw better.

as of right now, there is no "A" show raw = C+ smackdown is a D and ECW is a D- yeah pretty much right on all three. tna would be would get a B- though not an F as some said.

Yeah.. i really miss those days. Back in the day they had it all.. an awesome Crusierweight division, Mid-card division and a great Main Event divison. I used to look foward to watching who Brock Lesnar would destroy next back in 03/04 but now it seems like you cant have a main event with out "La Familia" interfering. Also its a shame how the Cruiserweight division ended.. it started with Kidman/Tajiri/Mysterio/Chavo and all the other guys pulling off moves that had rarely been seen on WWE television and ended up with Jamie Noble being Pwned by a leprechaun. BRING BACK SMACKDOWN 2002-2005! Rated R NinJa

I consider Smackdown the worst of the shows, tbh. What isn't the main event feud (Edge/Batista is far more stale than Trips/Cena tbh) just feels like an extended version of Heat. Chuck Palumbo, Duece/Domino, Mark Henry, Khali... even La Familia (which is crap without Edge) and Matt Hardy... they do nothing for me. With Undertaker out... if it wasn't for Edge, MVP, Finlay, and the occasional ECW guy I'd have no reason to watch.
At least RAW has that "anything can happen" feel. Shawn Michaels and Jericho are great in the upper midcard. Burchill and Kennedy have a fresh feud going on... even the DiBiase Jr. storyline is worthy of some attention.
ECW is the best brand though imo. It has the live feel RAW has and the wrestling-oriented feel Smackdown has... but with far more hungry wrestlers. Colin/Armando and Shelton/Kofi are solid midcard feuds. Miz/Morrison is a great act along with Evan Bourne and CM Punk.
