Smackdown is better than Raw


Title by title.

I like Owens, but Ambrose is the real deal. A much better wrestler. He's had a number of clean wins and he's done it leaving the Club behind. He has the title that goes all the way back through the Hulk and Sammartino.

Owens has interference often just like Rollins did. He won the title after he was demolished and HHH handed it to him. There is a major weakness because over a month later we don't understand why HHH did it.

Intercontinental Vs. US title. Miz is a true heel. It's a great story that he passes himself off as a Hollhwood A lister, and having a beautiflu blonde wife makes him even more hatable.

On the other hand, after all this time Reigns does not have a clear character. As hard as they try, people mostly don't like him.

Tag teams: Slater has been a loser for a long time and creating a scenario where the ultimate loser becomes champ has been brilliant. The New Day have outstayed their welcome, and we need to move on from Booty O's and playing the trombone at ringside. They are good, but the Slater story is better.

Women. I will concede that Charlotte, Sasha Banks , and Bayley are better than any woman wrestler on Smackdown. Except I don't care about women's wrestling and fast forward through it when I can

Same with cruiserweights. They have brought in a bunch of new guys and I could care less. I don't like watching cruiserweight matches.

Finally, management. So far, Daniel Bryan and Shane have been pretty vanilla and uninteresting. but on Raw, management is a negative. I've had my fill of Stepahie and HHH forever, and want the focus on the wrestlers. And Foley is one of the all time cgreats, and he gets overshadowed by the McMahons. I hate seeing Mick have the role he has now.

This may be healthy . for years Raw was the better brand and Smackdown second tier. Doesn't hurt not to just have Smackdown equal, but actually better.

Ambrose left the club behind? I didn't know he was ever a member.

Too lazy to proofread? You make about a dozen errors in every post you make.

Your sexism is showing.

Ambrose turned heel when he joined with the Club to blindside Cena.

Yes, I am too lazy to proofread.


Maybe I am sexist. I don't like women's sports in general, except maybe women's gymnastics and women's figure skating.

reply

Why is this sexism? Would you be interested in women's NFL? Probably not. Why? Because they're not as good.
It's not sexist that generally female wrestlers can't achieve the same physical feats as male wrestlers, it's just how it is.
Why would you want to sit through inferior parts of the show? Or do you just scream "sexism" in the hope that it will get you laid?

Star Wars is like pizza, even when it's bad it's still pretty good.

Did you write this 2 weeks ago? Ambrose doesn't have the title...

Just another day at the office for old Harry.

reply

People have been pushing for Reigns to be nothing more than a bad ass, I've liked the guy for a while and now it seems he's slowly starting to fill in that role nicely. In more of a confused way, but that's not his fault.

reply

When did Ambrose help the Club out? Is this a fan-fiction alternative universe you're describing?

It's because people are stupid.

reply

I made a mistake when I typed Ambrose instead of Styles. My bad.

Please call me stupid because f feel pretty stupid.

Here's my view based on champions on each show.

Styles is better than Owens 1 pt for Smackdown

The Miz is better than Reigns 1 pt.for Smackdown

Slater and Rhyno far better story line than New Day 1 pt for Smackdown

Charlotte is better than Becky, as is Sasha Banks. 1 pt Raw

Cruiser weights 1 point for Raw, by default

And management because they are on scree a lot. Bryan add Bray are better than Steph, and Foley, and HHH. Raw keeps making the mistake of too much from for the McMAHON'S MAKIG IT ALLaabout theselves.

I have it, Smackdown 4, Raw 2.

Did you even read what part of your post I was quoting? I said people are stupid for not liking Reigns.

reply

OK, I agree people are stupid for not liking Reigns. Based on his wrestling, he is very good.

But I don't think they have done a good job developing his character. If they let him stay champion, maybe it will come around.

reply

Smackdown is no different to RAW, apart from having a different roster and being an hour shorter. The shows are as bad as each other as they are both filled with boring-ass, vanilla ex-indy or Japan wrestlers.
Smarks seem to think that it's better because Bryan is "running" it, but I doubt he has anything to do with the actual booking.
I don't know what the general TV schedules are in the states but I'm guessing Smackdown has less competition on Tuesdays than RAW does on Mondays.
