5 things SmackDown Live Does Better Than RAW

#1 Focus

Very little wasted time from the blue crew

The three-hour format of RAW is a black hole. The show is disjointed, lop-sided and completely out of sorts. It’s difficult to stay engaged because the show jumps from story to story and back and forth.

There are unimportant segments slathered all over, and instead of doing anything interesting with guys like Golden Truth or The Shining Stars, WWE just puts them on RAW every Monday and has them wrestle each other while the crowd sits on their hands.

SmackDown has one less hour each week and uses it wisely. The fat is usually completely cut off and the show moves at a quick pace in a linear manner. RAW doesn’t seem to know how to get that done.

About the author

I got my first big break writing for 411Mania back in 2004. I did a small spot in a big weekly piece that was written by one of the site's top writers. I quickly added the duty of being the live recapper for episodes of SmackDown, and in 2005 was given my own weekly column, which I did for a few years. I gave up writing (mostly) to start a family but got back into it, still at 411, a little over 3 years later. For another couple of years, I wrote 2-3 columns per week for the website before finding paid work elsewhere, and eventually wound up at SportsKeeda.

I am also the co-founder of the RBR: Weekly Wrestling Talk podcast, which started in the summer of 2005 and is still going strong today, almost 15 years later. Due to school, work, and family commitments, I left the team in 2011 but still remain a part of the family.
