I was just wondering if you consider smackdown the "B" show after last nights draft?
IMO i think it's an even playing field now the way SD & Raw are balanced out now but what do you think?

That's why I like the trade of JR and HHH, they add alot of legitimacy to the show and makes it so that problems that have plagued the show for years might finally be fixed. This is the best thing for Smackdown and it makes me interested in the show.

Smackdown will always be the 'B' show.. How so? Only way Raw is better then SD these days is because it gets the 3-hour specials and is Live. SD and Raw now both have good amount of talent, a 2-hour prime time slot, and PPV's. ECW is the B show. Raw and SD are the flagship show's. I think people are forgetting that Smackdown isn't a new show. It's been around for almost 10 years now |

Smackdown will always FEEL as the 'B' show. Raw has a different atmosphere and vibe to it then Smackdown. When I think Raw it's more of a 'cool' feeling.

Yes...
1)Its taped
2)Its gonna be on a Network nobody has ever heard of
3)None of the main guys in the business want to be on the show (Triple H, JR...Hell Vince RARELY appears on the show)
Sayin that its been around for 10 years and its on equal level as Raw is like saying WWF Mania was on the same level as WWF Prime Time Wrestling, or Thunder was equal to Nitro

Triple H, Undertaker, Rock, Hogan, Benoit, Guerrero, Jericho, Angle, Edge, Lesnar, Big Show, Cena, Orton, Mysterio, Booker T, Rob Van Dam and many more have all been on the SD brand at one time or another. So much for your stupid comment. Not to mention Triple H is back on Smackdown now. And being Live shouldn't be a reason why a show is #1. Back in 1999 when Raw was taped it was killing WCW in the ratings and WCW was live. Proved you wrong again. |

SmackDown gets less ratings than RAW because it isn't live. That would be the only thing different other than the fact that RAW is the flagship show.

Being Live has nothing to do with Ratings. Remember 1998 and 1999 when ya know Raw was Taped and was still beating Doubya See Doubya every week which was Live

The fact that the draft was on RAW proves Smackdown is the B show.

But then, if it isn't that, what is it? It's because before Raw was always treated as the top brand with the exception of 1999-2003 in which SD and Raw ratings were in the same range. And Raw has a better network, yet SD is still pretty damn close to catching up with Raw. And now with the addition of Hardy and Helmsley I bet SD will be same level with Raw in terms of ratings. |

Smackdown has been the B show since Lesnar left, but now that they have 2 World titles they are at this very moment the A show. I think it would be a good storyline to have both titles on the same show and build up the ECW title.

RAW is treated as the top brand, for the simple fact, that it is the top brand - that will never change.. That is why it will always be on a major network, whereas SD is on a network, some homes can't even access..
