smackdown isnt going down hill. its actually doing way better than raw. come on, raw has too many fan favorites and not enough heels, their upsets to the storylines and title matches just suck, the only thing that keeps raw alive is DX and maybe now Jeff Hardy. if any writers need to get up and do something, its the writers for raw. smackdown, has great matches. long, but great matches, an amazing roster, its just some of the storylines are kinda gay, the whole using eddie to build up a story is hopefully done and never to be back, and like someone upwards in this thread said, they do need to give some bigger superstars a push. like bobby lashley, definately another push for the undertaker even if he is part time. he can do what he normally does even if he has the title, just wrestle maybe once or twice in two months or something and just at the pay per views. i think they need to push lashley, finlay, and maybe even vito and regal. and yes, the miz, i can see him as either cruiserweight or united states, and the only reason raw does any good with ratings better than smackdown is because smackdown is taped on tuesdays or wednesdays and the spoilers are everywhere leaving most to not even watch it. i still watch it. i love smackdown better than raw and raw is apparently the flagship show of the company, and as far as ecw, that show is crap. its not ecw, its just another brand and show as far as im concerned, they keep getting rid of the originals and bringing in new talent that no ecw faithfuls even wanna see, i think the only one anyone really cares to see that is new is cm punk. thats how i see it.
