Smackdown owned RAW in the early 2000s. It had most of the best talent with no HHH burying people.

2000-2005 were fucking elite

FUCK NO.. Raw was better, HHH made Big Gold the most important title in the company, when he dropped the belt to HBK/Beniot it was a major deal, where as the WWE Title was being passed around like a 2 dollar slut....
Plus Raws mid card with Jericho, RVD, Steiner, Christian, Orton etc was KILLING SD.. And Raws Diva division (Trish, Lita, Molly Holly, Victoria, Gail Kim, Stacy, Jazz etc) DESTROYED SD Diva division.
And Raw had based Bischoff and Austin as the GM when SD had boring ass Steph.. Raw was better in every way, only fat neckbeards still push that fairytale that SD was """better"""

>HHH made Big Gold the most important title in the company
This is true. Say what you want about HHH but he elevated Big Gold better than anybody in the WWE. When they put Batista on SD in 2006, Big Golds value dropped to slightly above US Title.

>HBK drops the belt to HHH a mere month later
>Vanilla midget has forgettable and redacted reign before losing it to Randy Boreton
>Loses it to HHH a month later again
Fuck off. Hunter couldn't draw Franklin Roosevelt to Wrestlemania. He fucked his way to the top like a slutty Hollywood starlet and will be as easily forgotten as one.

Check the pops HBK/Benoit got when HHH put them over (SurSer 02 for HBK/WM20 for Benoit), the best pops in both their careers and Benoit reign wasn't that forgetable, it just seems that way bc WWE erased him from history..
>He fucked his way to the top
HHH was already a 2x WWE Champ b4 he started sleeping with Steph, but he did use her to stay at the top combined with him being a GOAT politician

>raw's mid card killing Smackdown
The Smackdown Six wiped the floor with raw every. Watching both at the time, raw was a dull affair and Smackdown was arguably the best produced tv show in WWE history.
2009 was pretty good as well
