    Raw or Smackdown?

    Friday, November 21, 2008, 03:41 AM EST [General]

    Hello everyone! I've been a hugefan of WWE since the 80s. However on tv i have to admit that raw has always been the better show for me. In fact while i never missed a raw I will admit 2 missing a quite of few smackdowns after the brand extensions. however a few months back i lost my cable and had to get all my wwe action from smackdown! I must say that i really got into the fact that smackdown tends to let more new up and commers shine such as The Brian Kendrick, shelton Benjamin, and Vladamir koslov, to name a few. As well as the aditions of guys like HHH, Jeff hardy, the WWE Divas title and other things i might be changing my toon.

    Ive since got back cable but i must say Raws lost a bit of edge. Sure there are still greats like Shawn Michaels, CM Punk, & a few others, as well as being impressed by the rise in the tag devisiion on both shows.. finally!! (but still not enough if you ask me.) But Raw now also seems to have its share of guys that just dont do it for me anymore, such as, batista, rey mysterio, who in his hey day was amazing but just seems to injory prone lately, and though I admire his heart and noticable improvement, i can never get behind John Cena.

     

    So which is the better show? Everyone has their own opinion. Id say in the long run, Raw will always be better, but as of late I find myself waiting more and more with anticipation just to see what smackdowns up to next.

     

    P.s.

    for those of you wondering why I didnt include ECW in this little mix of whos better.. The new ECW isnt even allowed in the same paragragh with Raw and Smackdown. But I'll leave my rand about the WWE's version of "The New" ECW to another blog. That is a story in itself

    FOR THE PAST TEN YEARS I WOULD OF SAID RAW. BUT RIGHT NOW WHO COULD SAY THAT SMACKDOWN ISNT ITS FRESH WITH THE SUPERSTARS AND THE STORYLINES. WERE RAW IS USING THE SAME OLD SH1T PERSONALLY I DNT THINK ECW EVEN COUNTS AS A BRAND I NEVER WATCH OUT SO I GUESS ITS MY LOSS MISSING OUT ON A MEAN EVENT LIKE MARK HENRY VS FINLAY O WELL.

    I totally agree with you on this blog...



    RAW will probably always be considered as the #1 show, but recently I'm more excited about tuning into Smackdown. It's just I feel it's much fresher lately and RAW does seem to be repeating the same old storylines. I'm more impressed with the Smackdown roster of superstars right now as well...total syked seeing Jeff Hardy every week on the show!



    I do also like the fact that's theres been a rise in tag teams 'cause there's not been a lot of decent ones in a while, but some more actual stables wouldn't go a miss either. However, in my opinion there should be more emphasis on the U.S. and I.C. titles.



    I think that they should put more of the old ECW originals back in ECW, maybe bring back the feel for it...it's not exactly that extreme any more.
