"The juggernaught, the flagship show of WWE....Monday Night RAW"

[Kimo_bud]

He also shouldn't have said they competing ratings wise

Wwe is hard to watch right now. There isn't enough talent for raw to be 3 hours and no one is going to watch all that damn wrestling

 

[Berniewood Hogan]

RAW = Justice League
Smackdown = Justice Society

Lucha Underground = Planetary

NJPW = Some Obscure Manga

TNA = Doom Patrol

 

[WOAHMYGOODNESS]

Raw = rugrats
Smackdown = rugrats all grown up

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

Raw= flagship show
Smackdown=

 

[richaveli83]

Raw has always been the flagship show even during the original brand split. They never outright said it but we all knew it. It didn't become blatantly obvious until the last few years before the brand split ended.

 

[Notorious 1 E.Y.E.]

Raw = Doug
Smackdown = disney's Doug

 

[prophecypro]

Vince will overthink it and focus on Raw

Its on USA to remind him SD is now a live show on USA too and see what he gonna do

 

[PlayerNinety_Nine]

RAW = Broken Matt
Smackdown = Brother Nero

 

[ML29]

Not shocked by that at all. They're never gonna let Smackdown appear to on the same level of importance as Raw. Even If they try for a little while they'll fall back into the old habits. This brand extension will be as bad as the last one soon enough.

 

[Bryan Danielson]

RAW = Marvel
Smackdown = DC

 

[BodeineBrazy]

I agree that most of the big returns and segments will probably still be on RAW but I'm hoping that SD! can get to a point where it was in the SD! six days, just an enjoyable show with great matches and not much interference from Vince

yeah hopefull he forgets it exist and we get some good tv for a change

 

[FaygoMI]

He meant it, but I think he's also trying to make it seem like Smackdown is the underdog show and subliminally trying to get people to watch it so they feel like they're supporting the little guy.

Shane is on Smackdown because people love Shane.....

 

[WHolla09]

Raw = Jay-z
Smackdown = Memphis Bleek

"As long as I'm alive........."

 

[Spyro]

Raw - Michael Jackson
Smackdown - Justin Bieber

 

[jadillac]

Shane is on Smackdown because people love Shane.....

shane needs to come out next week and refute that claim of RAW being superior, just for PR purposes.

Only reason I still have a Network sub is b/c I had high hopes for this brand split.
