Wrestling fans watch NXT over Smackdown?

Lance Storm apparently does not Smackdown.



I'm wondering if this is the case with wrestling fans also?

I DVR it because if I don't, my husband fusses. But we fast forward through all the RAW recaps, and that's at least a half hour right there, plus the commercials and the didn't-we-just-watch-this-match-on-monday matches and anything involving Khali, Hornswoggle, Del Rio, and that fat asshole Brodus Clay. So basically we watch the opening segment, fast forward for a bit, watch the inevitable mid-show match involving Miz or Ziggler, a tag team match if it isn't a repeat, then skip through the ME to see if anything interesting happens.

So yeah, fuck SD. Last year it was good as hell though, it really just depends on what they do with it. And I watch Raw every week and NXT when I remember, and ME if the advertised match involves Miz, Ziggler, Ryback, Team Hell No, or Rhodes Scholars.

I DVR all three but I find I only watch RAW and NXT. Smackdown episodes build up over the weeks and I end up deleting them all without watching one. I trace it back to when Sandow made more frequent appearances on RAW. Even before that, he was the only reason I watched Smackdown at all.

RAW is the soap opera, NXT is the wrestling. I love the small arena atmosphere Full Sail provides aswell.

Well, it makes sense if you think about it.

Raw is the show where all the storylines get furthered, NXT is the show where the next crop of upcoming talent is showcased, SmackDown is just filler that never advances anything and Raw recaps. The only reason I'm watching SmackDown now is because GOAT #2, John Bradshaw Layfield is on commentary for 2 hours.
