Guest poland74 Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Maybe peoples opinion on how bad it is may vary but everyone generally agrees Smackdown needs some improvements. Heres my ideas. Tape it live, cut the adverts especially during matches (that really annoys me and rarely happens on raw), sack Michael Cole, bring in some different stars to have new feuds, bring in quality cruiserweights and dedicate a portion of the show to them. Scrap most of the useless diva's unless they can be used in some way like Amy Weber was. There is also no need for no name wrestlers to be on the show unless they are going to be regulars and cause an upset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chris Benoit Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Send a few Raw guys over, such as Jericho. He could have a feud with Dupree for example.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Russ Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 One thing I never understood about Smackdown! is that it's taped, but they have adverts during matches. Why? That's footage that they've taken the time to record, but is never shown on TV. It wouldn't be so bad if they took breaks and when they came back they carried on from the exact spot that they left, but they don't even do that. That would be the first thing I'd change about Smackdown!, it annoys me that I can miss like 10 minutes of wrestling action on each show for no apparent reason.

Guest The Beltster Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Cancel it. I'd enjoy SD! alot more if it no longer excisted! lol If I had to improve it, though, I'd simply end the brand extention and combine the rosters, but that int going to happen. SD! are thin on talent, NAME talent. The cruisers will never be used right in WWE and SD! is like a cruiser show, so that explains something right off the bat.

Guest Gooneronastick Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Replace the current writers and hire some decent talent is the way to improve SD IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Trips Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 They do have some good top card wrestlers such as Eddie guerrero, John Cena, Undertaker, Kurt Angle, Booker T etc. but the whole mid card needs sorting out, they need to find some more established wrestlers especially tag teams, cos apart from maybe Rey Mysterio and a few others the midcard is not good, maybe after wrestlemania if they have a brand split maybe some people like Jericho, Edge, Hbk or something could head to smackdown along with Val Venis who would make a very good mid card wrestler like he was back in 98,99, and maybe they could send some of the lesser talent to Raw or even release them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Slim Jim Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Im gonna go with TWO's member and heel of the week, BeltMark. The only way to make SD better without ending the brand extension is to ruin Raw by giving it all of Raw's talent. Join Raw and SmackDown and you have a decent sized talent pool rather than a mediocre one on Raw and a crap one on SmackDown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MartynJ Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 join them back (not gonna happen though) or get a few entertainers there like stonecold liven the show up more, or just get more writers in , but i agree with the above slimjim and belty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vulgarfictions Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 I agree with slimjim, belt, and jacko. I never understood why they did the split thing in the first place. It was much better when the storyline was continuous throughout the week, and one could actually look forward to smackdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DFA Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 The main diffrence between smackdown and RAW is that RAW focuses on the more on the story as smackdown choose to focus on the wrestlers and make them more and more diffrent from each other. I think Raw and Smackdown are equally good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ed_666 Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Ending the roster split would completely ruin both shows, and mean a lot of guys would have to be sacked to accomodate the main eventers being on both shows. One thing they should do on SD (and Raw as well really) is build a proper tag team division, instead of handing the belts to any two guys who happen to be over (see RVD/Rey) or guys who flopped as champ and/or have lame gimmicks (619 cam? lowrider? :roll). Having 4 or 5 decent teams like they used to in the late 80's/early 90's would be great. They should also ditch those two ugly bints Rochelle and whatever that Sable look-a-like was called, and show Michelle McCool doing somersaults some more. :xyx Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jung Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Move some guys to SD to equal out the rosters as its incredibly uneven. And get people who actually have a clue about wrestling to write the shows too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
