Yeah Vince doesn’t care. As long as Raw is the top dog he doesn’t care. Which is sad because a year ago SDL was the better show.
I still say that this was blatant sabotage by Vince. SDL was killing it after the initial draft. Vince then guts the show of their top guys and straps the top title around Jinder’s waist for 6 months while AJ and Owens were relegated to the midcard. Orton and Shinsuke were both sacrificed to Jinder, while guys like Rusev, Sami Zayn and Booby Roode were wasted for so long (Rusev is still doing nothing). Then the main feud currently going is Shane/ Bryan when we know damn well that we’ll never get a match between them.

Well at least they're aware. But IMO they just need to utilize the stars they have better till the next draft. And hopefully something changes that helps out.
IMO no reason Orton and Roode are both faces. SD needs a mega heel and these two are lingering in a US title feud.
Get Fashion Police, Dillinger, & Ryder on TV more.
Use Rusev. They seem to have something with this Rusev Day thing.... RUN WITH IT!
After the next draft, move Samoa Joe over to SD. A feud with AJ would be awesome.
This Bryan/Shane storyline is s**t. It needs to be taken out back and shot in the face.
Revamp Ziggler. He's not going anywhere so stop with the damn record scratch.
Make the show like NXT & 205. Let the wrestling be the focal point, while RAW has the over the top stories. Make RAW & SD feel like two completely different shows.
Use the women more. Why are they doing next to nothing when SD needs stars? Use Becky more. Give Charlotte a good story to work with. Do something/anything. It would be far better than nothing.

Smackdown was consistently a better show than Raw since the split. What changed? Even when Jinder was champ, at least everything else was solid. It's like his pushed derailed everything so when they had to hurry and get the title on AJ, they had zero idea where to go from there. Then the brought in Roode as a face, which just isn't working, their inability to showcase Nakamura, Owens and Sami getting stagnant doing the same thing, women getting stagnant, etc.

They did a 100% unnecessary “superstar shake up” that took everyone that made Smackdown good. The Miz, Wyatt, Jordan (rip AA), Ambrose, Alexa, Mickie, and Slater/Rhyno. It may not seem like it at first glance but if you go back and watch, these people were all a part of the main factors that made Smackdown Live so good when it first split.

I don't understand how they keep having record breaking profits if no one is watching their shows or going to live events. Unless the Network is doing way better than I realize, that would indicate that their audience is shrinking.

Really wish they would give into whatever Neville is asking for. He'd be a great upper to upper mid-card heel on SD. He could have amazing matches with Nakamura, Styles, and Ziggler.

They need to end the brand split. Have some guys appear one night on raw, some appear on Smackdown, then the next week change it up. They have so many guys they won’t be missed a show or two.take your top talent and have them cut a promo on raw tomorrow’s night on Smackdown blah blah, people tune in to see. Smackdown... mAtch happens. Someone else calls out a super star. You know on raw next week we can do it. Gives people a reason to tune into both shows and everyone is happy.

I wouldn't call SD awful, it's just too centered on one storyline, with an Usos promo in between. The wrestling has been good, and don't get me wrong I like where Owens/Zayn is FINALLY heading, but they need a little more variety.

Back when Neville was CW Champ I was hoping that they’d eventually move him to SDL. A title feud of “The King of the CWs” vs “The Phenominal One” would be fun and the matches would be great.

Right off the bat anytime someone says “a source told them” I believe they are making things up. I never believe these things where unnamed sources are mentioned. To me that screams they are stating their opinions and trying to make it credible by saying they have a source. But they are true SD has a major problem and that is Shane being the prominent feature every week since WrestleMania. I said when he first returned two years ago it would be a mistake and I am correct. Didn’t find him all that entertaining in the attitude era and find him worse now. They have the talent with Styles, Orton, Roode, Rusev, Owens, Zayn, Charlotte and Becky, but they all take back seat to Shane and Bryan.

Smackdown was great at the beginning of the brand split. Illogical booking and head scratching title changes made it nearly unwatchable. The Randy/Bray stuff is where it started. Putting the title on Jinder for 6 painful months. Then you have Ziggler win the U.S. title and have him vacate it with no explanation or payoff. Then you have this weird tension between Shane and Bryan which will probably never come to fruition in-ring so they’ve booked themselves in a corner. It’s just....yeah. I don’t understand what they do half the time. I’m not saying it is Road Dogg, because we don’t know for sure and it’s pure speculation. But if it is, that guy has to go.

I would suggest having Paul Heyman being hired as head booker of smackdown like 2002, but wwe would rather die than do that.
