Lets face it, it's not bringing in huge attendence. Nor is it bringing in Raw's ratings. I don't think WWE really cares about the show overall. I'd much prefer them to get rid of Smackdown and make Raw three hours every week.
Your thoughts? Would you miss Smackdown and if so, why? To me, the show seems very lazy, booking wise in comparison to Raw where all the big stories take place. I would miss the few good TV matches we get but WWE can always save them for the PPVs instead of giving them away in throwaway matches with DQ endings and such.
Disagree, get rid off superstars, bring back ECW and then you can have great storylines again, from invasions to practise segments for other superstars, they could even make ECW their TV-14 show.... One can always dream I guess
If they ever decide to get rid of Smackdown!, then I'll stop watching WWE forver. The only reason I'm still watching is because of my loyalty to the blue brand.
I would rather they just make it feel more important and give it more attention. I hate how much they mention RAW and show the re=caps during the show. Makes it feel second rate and plus it does lack star power.
for what it's worth, smackdown still has a purpose as to developing mid card talent and the lack of star power allows the young talent to get exposure. The WWE is more concerned about developing their talent before they are elevated to Raw instead of worrying about drawing a big number.

Brock and Hogan had a match on SmackDown. That's how important the show used to be.
In terms of importance and star power, SmackDown of today is what Jakked was in the Attitude/Ruthless Aggression Eras. Okay, maybe that's slightly harsh.
It's become a waste of time. Nothing important ever happens on the show, horrible attendance, horrible theme song, roster still blows goats, I honestly wouldn't mind if they got rid of it and made Raw 3 hours. So unless they make it seem more relevant and bring back features that made it unique(fist stage, ovaltron)and had a theme that didn't make you think you were watching a hardcore version of Blue's Clues, get rid of it.
Smackdown is terrible, hopefully the draft happens soon and they get someone like Punk.
