Hi again WWE Universe. I was planning on doing some blogs on the state of all 3 shows and I was planning on Starting with the flagship show Raw. But I was sitting here thinking and  SmackDown kept popping up in my head and the more I thought about it I was getting more excited to write this one so SmackDown is First.

Remember about 6 or 7 months ago I wrote a blog about the Intercontinetal Championship being the workhorse title of the WWE and how over the last few years it lost it's glory and meaning. Well, I look at SmackDown as the Workhorse show but the glory and meaning is there WWE just needs to pay more attention to this show more maybe so than Raw. Raw has become a Variety show and not so much about the wrestling anymore. But yet it is still pulling in ratings of around 3.5 on Monday nights.

Now I understand that SmackDown is on little old my network tv. But I have to say with the talent depth and calibare of stars SmackDown is the Wresting show to watch right now.

Here are a few reasons why:

Chris Jericho: Next to Randy Orton, Chris Jericho is the top Heel in wrestling today. He makes it so believeable and interesting that you have to watch to just see what he will do next. His mic skills or second to none, he plays the crowd like a fiddle and I must tell you the reaction he gets from the fans i can't help but stop and laugh because he pulls them in everytime. His technical skills are the best right now next to Rey and CM Punk. His feud with Rey right now is the best thing WWE has going now and you can only credit that with Jericho being the professional that he is. I hope that we have a feud with Jericho and Punk in the next few weeks for the title that would make some great television.

EDGE: I call The Rated R SuperStar Mr.SmackDown. He is the definitive reason to watch SmackDown every Friday night. Edge much like Jericho can pull you in and make you hate him instantly. I mean come on let's face it he is the ultimate opputunist! His feuds with Undertaker, Batista,Rey and Cena shows that Edge can adapt to all styles and sizes of wrestlers and come out on top everytime. Maunuplation is his game and it works well for him. I look for edge to continue to dominate Friday Night's and regain some gold.

CM Punk: The best draft pick SmackDown has ever aquried period. Punk like Edge reminds me of Bret"Hitman" Hart. he is the utlity man that can do it all. Techinal, submission, brawl, I would dare even to say that his adaptation is even better than HBK and that is saying a lot. When Punk cashed in money in the bank on Jeff Hardy he made a bigger statement than anyone would ever had thought. With CM Punk as WorldHeavyweight Champion SmackDown will be going places it has never been to before.

The Undertaker: The phenom has always been a huge reason to watch WWE Television no matter what show he is on. He is beyond the shadow of a doubt next to HBK the measuring stick for ALL WWE Superstars. He always brings his A game injured or not. actaully Undertaker would have been the last one I would be talking about adapting as well as he has over the years. He reminds me of Madonna or U2 they all have adopted so well to remain on top of what they do. The Undertaker however needs to add some more gold to his resume as I believe his legacy is more important in WWE history of that of Hulk Hogan and Stone Cold Steve Austin...

Jeff Hardy: What can I say of Jeff! He goes out night after night and he puts his body on the line for the great WWE fans. Jeff's down fall to me (if the internet rumors are correct LOL) has been his focus. And if he signed a new deal I think he is now more focused and ready than ever. I do believe his winning the WWE title did come a little late. He had a series of great matches with HHH that are his best ever. Jeff is another great edition to SmackDown as he is another Workhorse with Jericho, Rey, CM Punk, and Edge

John Morrison: Simply put John is the future of SmackDown. getting rid of the Miz was the best thing WWE ever did for Morrison. I look back at June 2007 when morrison was a last minute replacement in the ECW Title match agianst CM Punk. That was the John Morrison that shoud have stayed a single competitor. His new move StarShip Pain is just phenomal. I look for Morrison really soon to find his way into the World title picture as this young superstar has deserved it for sometime now.

SmackDown to me has always gotten branded the "B" show. With the talents of the past such as JBL.Eddie Guerrero,Kurt Angle,The worlds greatest tag team,Rey, Undertaker,ect.. that pulled that show the hardest but the spotlight was always on Raw each and everyweek.

Now with these great WorkHorses at the helm of what I believe is now the "A" show or Flagship show of the WWE SmackDown will lead the way for Great Wrestling action and not the fluff that has become Monday Night Raw.....

Until Next time
