U saved me watching raw this week! Smackdown is better, but it's half of a product, I watch and I keep waiting for...something more, eps end and I'm left thinking 'is that it?'. It's solid, its safe, it's all a bit...bland, if anything it's not raw that's dull it's smackdown, raw is more 'joke' than dull.

This can't all be blamed on 'PG', WWE has been this way for years, difference is they've owned up now

Your saying Smackdown is dull? Seriously? It is by far the best show going at the minute with a stacked roster full of talent and great matches week in week out. You keep waiting for 'something more'? What like 12 run-ins, DQ title changes, young talent getting squashed and the odd dusty finish? Guys like Dolph Ziggler, John Morrison, CM Punk, Jericho, Hardy & Edge(before injury) have made it hugely entertaining wrestling wise, you may not like it because of the fact it is mainly wrestling based and your more into the entertainment side of it which is fair enough but to say its dull is just rediculous.

Each week its the 'WWE booking machine' randomly generating matches....

CM Punk vs Peter Pan
Jeff Hardy vs the 1914 All White Alabama Racketball Team
John Morrison vs - *error* file corrupt - contact administrator

There is absolutely no logic to the booking - nothing is ever on the line in these random matches, Punk vs Jesse in a non title match - who gives a monkees who wins?
You find it boring, fair play, each to his own, but there are plenty of magics with "logic" behind them.

The last 2 Main Events off the top of my head Jericho and Ziggler vs. Hardy and Mysterio w/ Punk at ringside.  Punk continues his Hardy feud, Ziggler his NEW Mysterio one and Jericho still has beef with Mysterio who he lost to in the previous weeks main event...

And so called random matches like....

Morrison vs. Punk
Morrison vs. Edge
Hardy vs. Edge
Ziggler vs. Morrison.

Are so damn good they could well be fighting for a trip to Universal Studios and I won't much care because they are quality matches, but as it happens, the guys are fighting to get ahead in the division, it can be that simple, win and move up the ladder?  It doesn't have to be, you ran over my cat, right thats it, lets fight!  2 guys feud, one in the feud fights another guy, dude he is feuding with scouts the match/interferes etc.  And heck lower down the card Cryme Tyme and Hart Dynasty are FEUDING.
