Pre-Show Stalwart
I watch Smackdown every single week, because I am lucky enough to get MyNetworkTV and have a DVR. I do wish I got it in HD though, as another poster suggested. It is now the only show I watch that is not in HD. I do read the results as a weekly ritual, but that just determines when I will watch the show, not if. For the people delusional enough not to realize what a quality show Smackdown is, allow me to list its redeaming qualities.
1. CM Punk....need I say more...Straight Edge means I'm better than you!
2. Mysterio, JoMo, R Truth, McIntyre, Jericho put on high quality matches everytime they go out there. The Truth/JoMo/Ziggler match this week was 12 minutes of highly intense action. They all just their humps every week
3. The announce team is amazing compared to Raw. It's not Cole's fault, but Lawler's. Striker is the best announcer that the WWE has had since JR. And he plays a heel as good as Lawler did when him and JR were amazing. He definately has potential behind the desk.
4. Because it isn't live, Vince generally leaves it alone. He lets Stephanie and Michael Hayes book Smackdown with very little imput from Vince. He has his hands wrapped around Raw's booking team making them scared stiff. Smackdown doesn't have that problem so they can have a more freeflowing show, booked without fear.
5. They have the capabilities to make younger guys look better because they aren't live. If a guy comes out and is nervous and happens to screw up a spot, they can reshot that. That CANNOT happen on RAW or his career could possibly be shot.
That is why Smackdown is the better show. I wish they would put them on a better network at a better timeslot on another day. Possibly a Saturday or Wednesday would be better for them.
