Bad news for SmackDown

[Crayo]

WWE had to move fans around to make the arena look full at last night’s SmackDown tapings at the Van Del Arena in Grand Rapids, Michigan. There were between 3,500 and 4,000 fans at last night’s tapings. The Van Del Arena is usually set up for around 10,000 fans when WWE comes to town.

Serves them right.

B-show with B-booking, nothing surprising there. SmackDown is a real WWE midcard.

If stuff like this doesn't, what will make WWE realize they have to change a few things?

It's cause of the stupid Supershow.
If you see all stars on RAW what's the point of watching Smackdown?
Can't believe I dug Smackdown about 4 years ago.

I dug it about 4 months ago, infact there was a point where I enjoyed it more than Raw. But not now, Big Show and Khali have returned and neither Daniel Bryan or Mark Henry are champions so it's just crap.

Smackdown was so good about 4 months ago when they had Bryan, Barret and Rhodes running around and basically running the shows plots and still being able to implement stellar wrestling. The guys who are suppose to be the focus of stories now with the exception of Bryan are just so boring.

I enjoyed Henry's and Bryan's title reigns, but the Supershow concept kills Smackdown. The brand division should be strong, SD should be live and there should be more balance regarding star power between the brands. If that happens (which I know won't) we'd be able to enjoy both shows equally. I do find SD to be a great place to develop new talent, since there's not really much star power or anything, they can just walk in and be a part of the show.

This.

I was also a big fan of Henry's reign (and ofc Bryans). Man do I miss dominant heels.

Mo' Money Mo' Problems.

Besides it sucks live or taped either way.

WWE can easily afford to take Smackdown live weekly. It would also lover the risk of spoilers leaking which is most often a big turn of for people thinking of watching it. If they find out the entire show two days beforehand. Whats the need for watching?
