Is it cool to hate Raw and love Smackdown now?

I do.
Only because I got SmackDown tickets by accident and now feel the need to justify the decision.

Well main events like Edge vs Punk and Jericho vs Hardy are much more enjoyable than Legacy against Shane and Batista vs Big Show.

Fuck yeah. I started the trend saying Smackdown is the A Show, a few weeks ago.
Plus, Jerichozz and Edgezz is on Smackdown!!!!

This is not something new.
Even if we look at the upcoming PPV event, Smackdown's matches just look a little bit fresher to me. Edge vs Hardy (and almost Jericho) is a good way to go. We have already seen Orton vs Batista so many times.
So personally yeah, I enjoy the matches of Smackdown more. However, I like the promos and stuff on Raw. I just watch them all really and enjoy it.

I've only seen it at Armageddon, so I'm interested in Raw's main event. But Triple H, The McMahons and a few others on Raw are starting to bore me to death, so Smackdown is definately the better show.

In terms of quality of wrestling, SD! has been the better show for well over a year

It's always been cooler to like Smackdown, ever since before 2006. Because, it's the "wrestling" show and Raw is the "entertainment" show. So, to be a fan of wrestling you have to like Smackdown.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with Randy Orton and Shane McMahon main eventing one show and Jeff Hardy and Chris Jericho main eventing the other.

I'd say it ranks in at position four on the cool scale, just under enjoying foreign promotions, supporting old school talent, and the big favourite, sitting around bitching about how everyone partaking in any of the above is "just doing it to be cool".
With all but the later, one has to question the thought processes of those involved, given that it has continually proven true that a mindset in disharmony with the Wrestlezone hive mind is considerably more likely to engender disrespect than it is admiration.

Think you got that a bit backwards, I can only remember seeing Orton/Batista 1 on 1 twice and one of them was the night after WM21, the second was at Armageddon this past year, Edge/Hardy have been having matches together for almost 10 fucking years, if anything Edge constantly being involved in the title picture on SD! is getting stale as fuck

I believe they also had a match the Smackdown before Survivor Series in 2005. Edge v. Jeff Hardy is getting kind of stale and I don't see him or Jericho turning face anytime soon so it's going to be a while before we see that.

They should throw the belt on to Jericho or Umaga for a couple months, and let Edge be involved in some non-title feuds for awhile, I mean if they can have guys like Cena and Triple H go a year without being involved in every title match on PPV for a fucking year I'm sure they could do the same with Edge
Just looked at the SD! roster, and SD! is in desperate need of heels, they have like 7 heels and like 12 faces (I didn't count the divas, and have no idea WTF Haas and Hawkins are right now so didn't count them either), of those 7 only 2-3 look like legit contenders for the title, they need to even things up a bit

I haven't watched any new episode of any WWE show for like 8 monthes, but now I'm thinkin' I'm gonna have to DVR Smackdown this week. If I am not atleast mildly entertained, I'm coming for you Luther with a bit of the old ultraviolence.

I agree. Ever since Edge became champion for the first time, I don't remember him being in a non-title feud. If Smackdown had one more main-event heel, I can see Edge taking time off from the title. The midcard has potential as I would like to see a Mysterio/Benjamin feud but don't expect to see great mic work if that is your forte.

They both suck equally tbh.
Raw has Santina, Carlito and Santino, so every monday I watch it.

Complaining about what makes you look cool is so uncool. For once, I'm not being sarcastic.

The only reasons that I watch Raw is the fact that it's live and anything can happen and for the fact that I hope they can develop new main eventers such as MVP and The Miz. SD overall is the better show now even though they are not live they have in my honest opinion the better roster and feuds. Also they have the chance to also develop new future main eventers like Dolph Ziggler.

Smackdowns been the better show for about a year now, Raw has just got bland and boring and with the draft we are now gonna have recycled fueds over again. Cena/Orton Batista/Orton HHH/Orton. All been done before and wasnt ver entertaining. Cena/HHH and Batista/HHH has been done to death. And Cena/Batista have only had a 1 on 1 match before so perhaps it could be something new.

Smackdown is loads better then Raw. Raw has been shit since Triple H showed up about 12 weeks ago.

Considering Raw is crap and has been since Randy Orton and Legacy became the focus of the show, hating it is more than simply trendy. There's a real case to be made there. Sucks that I can no longer make it through a Raw properly anymore as I'm a huge fan of Cena, Show, Michaels, Kendrick, and Hardy. I guess that's why God gave us the ability to stream the good segments the day after the show. If Orton was only a small part of the show and they used their time well, I'd have no problem. But things are out of hand.

I hate you for stealing my chance to make a Clockwork Orange response.
I was thinking something like, "Calm down my droog. Sip on your milk plus and think it through first."
You stole my chance.
