Well said sir, I agree completely.Right. Vince will just shrug his shoulders and say, "You win some, you lose some," when he decides to do without that annual $150-200 million in revenue Smackdown generates for him on average.
Its attendance and viewership numbers aren't at Raw's level, but it's hardly a failing enterprise. Would WWE like to see it do better? Sure. Does it actively have to do better than it is today for WWE to be content with what it's bringing in? No.
I'd miss Smackdown simply because it's still more of an old-time wrestling show than Raw. Daniel Bryan's push could never have taken place on Raw this past winter, but it worked like gangbusters on Smackdown.

Business strategist hereLets 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.
All those guys get on Raw every week anyway.Nah, even if it is usually lazily booked, some guys who won't get time on RAW can do so on Smackdown. Thus they can develop more, I watch Smackdown only for the parts that contain some of my favorites, and I bet lots of people do too. Whether its for Mark Henry, Cody Rhodes, Daniel Bryan, Del Rio etc... and others.
