For some reason RAM is called "WWE Flagship Show"

Go watch your B show that if it wasn't because of NBCUniversal putting pressure on WWE's ass to do something about the low ratings or they would take SmackDown off their programming, Smackcuck wouldn't even exist today
>RAWtist SEEETHING this hard
>SmackKEK
>A show
These niggers are really delusional
Probably a mix of Big Scripts Ward at the helm along with Vince being too exhausted to meddle with the show.
>Smackdown won the last ratings battle
Give up RAMlets

Rawtist seething that Smackdown out draw RAM
Talking Smack is great, and helps them cut down on promos in the actual Smackdown episodes without sacrificing story. The authority figures don't hog the screen as much as on Raw. They also tend to save their ppv matches for the ppv rather than showing us Kevin vs Roman a dozen times. And the women have stories and are just treated like any other wrestlers, rather than every promo having to point out that they're women which honestly comes off as being just as sexist as the old ways but in a different style of sexism.
Also, it may technically be the B belt now but the WWE strap means more to people than the Universal strap. Fans would riot if they tried to turn the thing blue.
-It's got a smaller timeslot so there's less time to fill up with garbage promos and matches that nobody cares about; and speaking of promos, the SDL talent seems to be overall just better on the mic than the guys at RAW, especially the women.
-Better writers who are willing to take some risks and know when to let a good thing die for the sake of advancing the storyline and keeping thing fresh (i.e. James Ellsworth, Slyno dropping the titles, the Ziggler/Miz feud)
-Better commentary team (although they could cut Otunga imo)
-You literally cannot overstate how important Talking Smack was and still is to helping the talent and storylines get over.
-The talent pool is better overall: AJ Styles, BMJ, Miz, Ziggler, Orton, Bliss, Nikki Bella, Becky, and even Deanetty are better than their RAW counterparts. More important than who SDL has, though, is who it lacks - namely Steph, Cuck Foley, Cuck Day, and Roidman Gaynes, all of whom are to RAW as cancer is to a human body.
-SDL has a smaller-feeling, less pretentious atmosphere than RAW with all its flagship pomp. This, again, helps the talent get over.

It's literally one autist spamming the thread

Smackdown is a show where people are at least kinda allowed to be characters. They manage to do everything better with less time to do it.
Raw is three hours of screaming and generic as fuck babyfaces. Literally the only reason to watch Raw is the heels, BRAWN and Jerigoat specifically, whereas Smack can be entertaining in a new way every week.
It just doesn't compare
Having face or neutral authority figures helps storytelling a lot

Agreed. Raw is too long for too little meaningful content. Almost everything on SmackDown matters. On Raw, it's a bunch of weak heels getting shit on by super babyfaces, which isn't compelling television in 2017. SmackDown is an all around more cohesive product.

>Becketty better than anyone
Okay now I've seen it all
