Advantages: Good storylines, some title changes

Disadvantages: WWF title never changes hands

In my opinion, WWF Smackdown is a good show, it has all the top wrestlers, good storylines, and titles do change hads quite often unlike on Heat or Superstars, but I don't think Smackdown is as good as Raw and I don't think it even compares to the outstanding Pay-Per-View events (most of which are actually free to us Brits anyway). At Pay per Views, storylines are ended dramatically, great matches such as cage and Ladder matches are regular, anything can happen, and titles change hand a lot of the time. That makes the Pay Per Views much more exciting than both Raw and Smackdown, both of which never ever have a change of WWF Champion. The WWF title can only ever been won or lost at pay Per Views.

But why do I prefer Raw to Smackdown? Well, there's no big reason other than that the matches on Raw generally appear to be more exciting than those on Smackdown, the storylines more dramatic, and titles change hands more often, as you could often go a month watching Smackdown without seeing one title change. When Smackdown first appeared on British TV it appeared to be a better show than Raw, it kicked off with lots of exciting matches, but gradually the show became less exciting, although it is still good viewing.

Smackdown, though, is still a great show and I never miss it, because it does have some great matches, and all the top stars such as The Rock, Stone Cold, Kurt Angle and Triple H appear on Smackdown week in week out.

I give Smackdown4 out of 5, because its good but its not the best WWF show.
