I think it already is. How long, though, is up to WWE. WWE will always try to push Raw as the flagship show, but it's becoming more and more obvious that SD's getting better. And yeah, about the endings, SD's ending was awesome, whereas Raw's was disturbing. Of course, SD ends with mentions of Taker, so that helps. But otherwise, if you think about it, SD just has had better wrestling, like Shelton Benjamin being pushed, while you have talent on Raw who aren't getting pushed. Triple H hasn't done much since coming to SD, so SD's getting by on a bit of everything.
I don't think you and I will have the popular opinion, though.
1. Hell in a Cell matches cannot be contested as a perfect match without blood. Disagree, Hell In A Cell matches can still be great if there's a couple of moments like someone falling off the roof or crashing through the side of the cell 2. Undertaker vs Edge at Wrestlemania 24 was overshadowed by Flair's retirement. Disagree 3. WWE should bring back the Cruiserweight division so guys like Evan Bourne, Chavo Guerrero and Kofi Kingston can contend for the title. Agree, Chavo career has died and Evan Bourne is not being used properly. 4. It was not the right time for AJ Styles to become the TNA world champion. I don't watch TNA 5. Wrestlemania will never ce the same without Undertaker and HBK. Right now, I tottatotallye Past, I disagree, Wrestlemania still had Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold, Bret Hart, The Rock, Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit. 6. Chris Benoit should be judged as a wrestler, not on his personal life. Agree, He was an awesome wrestler with tons of great moments. 7. Christian is wasting away on ECW and should be drafted to RAW or Smackdown as soon as possible. Agree, I was looking forward to his return but now that he's in ECW i'm not much of a fan of him. 8. Nigel McGuiness will have a more successful WWE career because he has more charisma. Who? 9. Hogan vs Flair in Australia will ruin Flair's retirement. Agree 10. Smackdown is the more entertaining WWE show, yet RAW is still labeled as WWE's flagship show. Agree, Raw just has DX for enterEntertainment I hate the new DX. We've seen it all in 2006 and 1998, It's just boring now.
No it will never be the flagship Smackdown is taped. Raw is live. But both shows are lacking big moments. When is the last im on either show a steal chair was used be beat the life out of somebody. The age of Rated RKO. Both shows need to step up why not throw John Cena and Batista in a cage. Why not Jeff Hardy versus Triple H in a TLC match where hardy finally captures a world title. Raw will always have history such as the biggest superstars ever like Stone Cold, John Cena, Undertaker (origannly), and Triple H (a RAW superstar at heart).
People are saying Smackdown will become the flagship show but I don't think it can happen. It doesn't matter if RAW lacks good GMS, refs, lighting, theme song, they are simply always going to be the best. Smackdown can't be the flagship show if they don't have the flaghship wrestlers. Even if all of those wrestlers are being used poorly it's a fact that RAW is the most delveloped program in WWE. Remember RAW still has Shawn Michaels, Rey Mysterio, Chris Jericho, Batista, John Cena, JBL, Kane, CM Punk, Randy Orton, and a few soon-to-be main eventers. Pretty soon Orton and Myserio are going to return and all 9 of those massive egos are going to clash and become competitive over one title. The momentum is going to pick up and the mid-carders like Lance Cade are going to get "rubs" from the main eventers on RAW. Meanwhile the supposed main-eventers on Smackdown are going to be stuck giving rubs to each other and developing each others characters. I was sure Smackdown would get screwed after the draft and thats why I was campaiging hard for Cena and Jericho to jump to Smackdown. That way all of the fans are turning heads just to see what he'll do next on Smackdown. It would have taken the attention off of RAW. The Undertaker or HHH could have their best match ever, but if the other superstars like Jeff Hardy, Mr. Kennedy, MVP, are being pushed aside to make room for The Great Khali vs HHH for Summerslam then they'll never get anywhere. Just remember RAW had to go through Evolution murdering half of the RAW roster, and Eric Bishoff screwing over the other half. But they survived because they continued to have the most innovative matches and biggest talent. Smackdown was the friendly "B" show having Torrie Wilson win bikini contests every Thursday while RAW was being dominated by Scott Steiner, Test, Goldberg, Stone Cold, The Rock, HHH, Shawn Michaels, Kane, Chris Jericho and many other wrestlers. I think Smackdown still faces that same problem with not enough attention being put on their product.
Yea. I have been watching RAW for ages and same as Smackdown! but i do think Smackdown! is getting better storylines especially with the return of the Undertaker and now that RAW has Mike Adamle which will spoil it. But you never know, Mike Adamle might throw in some storylines to turn RAW around, but i don't think he will do such a good job!
