| A few brief ideas -
1 - Have a decent play by play guy alongside the very good Tazz
2 - Change GM. Long doesn't cut it for me.
3 - Be a completely different show to Raw. When S/D was outperforming Raw they were putting on a show (written by Heyman at the time) that featured longer matches, really highlighted the wrestling element, dealt in very few promos and interviews. All the while the show looks like "just another version of Raw but not as good" it will suffer. It has to have a very different identity.
4 - The company itself needs to show it cares about S/D. All the while it treats the show like it's illegitimate red haired son fans aren't going to be attracted to it.
5 - Goes without saying that I believe they should push cruisers on the show and allow them to perform as they can.
6 - Build properly the feud between Raw and Smackdown. Stop doing these half hearted nods to a feud and really concentrate on building it. It's what the fans want to see (witness the stand off between the rosters at Rumble) and would give Vince a chance to show S/D is competitive with it's big brother. |
