Good on Smackdown. The product has been good since the move to Thursdays so I hope this positive trend continues for them.

I actually remembered that Smackdown was on this past Thursday (I usually forget it is most weeks) and decided to check it out. Twas was a good show. I was glad to see they centered the main event around the Intercontinental Championship. Hope to see more of that in the future. Centering the #2 show around the #2/#3 championships (at least much of the time) is definitely a gradual step to getting people to care about the midcard championships again.

It's been good and I'm liking what is seeming to be a big emphasis on the midcard titles - just put some bigger matches on it every now and then and it'll be so good. I forget to watch it but I hear it's consistantly decent now. Heck, some mostly SmackDown exclusive rivalries that lead to a big match there could be fun; just don't repeat boring matches and do things that go absolutely nowhere.

I have only been watching Smackdown this year and I really enjoy the wrestling and the storylines. I hope they continue on the upswing.

Good? Really? Not as shitty, sure. Decent at best.

Yes, good.

The Intercontinental Championship shenanigans have been worth it alone so far, so much that I'll actually be keeping an eye on future episodes and be recording them to watch on weekends when I'm bored. Yep, that's right, they turned from 2014 "who gives a shit?" Smackdown to 2015 "Oh, well, that sounds fun!" Smackdown. I think that pushing Bryan as the face of SmackDown is a good idea, and keep most of the fan favourites having great matches there while they put Reigns on RAW.

Admittedly I have been watching SD a hell of a lot more since it switched to Thursdays, the content seems to have improved a lot.

 

[Vicka]

Well, it's better right now but still I love RAW much more than SD.

Friday is a terrible night for TV regardless of the product

 

[C.M. Shaddix]

Well the show was on Friday, many people aren't home on a Friday. So on Thursday when everyone is home has everything packed for school or work tomorrow, "hey? Lets watch Smackdown!" Easy as that.

Good to know my one viewership added to the ratings over the last few weeks is helping out for the better !

 

[edge4ever]

It makes sense that the ratings are going up. They moved it to Thursday, more emphasis on storylines and matches, and they're making the overall product better.

Hell, the DB and Ziggler match proved how awesome smackdown can be.

Do you rekon I should start watching again?
