Raw. Just because it is has been around longer and has a more established viewer base.

Raw for sure, love the intro better, the pyro ;)Raw is always huge after a PPV, SmackDown ahs nothing. Bringing in SmackDown was a mistake anyway, the WWF should have stuck with one, or two if you count Heat, program on TV per week. Raw is way better.

I would choose Raw without even thinking about it...Also have to remember being that Raw is on cable you can get away with alittle more than being on broadcast TV on UPN.

Smackdown because ratings show more people watch Smackdown than Raw and I am a prima donna who knows that the entire world needs to see me in all my glory. If the ratings were even, though, I'd pick Raw just because of the history value of the show being much bigger than for Smackdown.

I don't know if that's true but if it is, maybe that's ebcause RAW is on a cable channel and not everyone in the country has cable (hard to believe, but it's possible).

Seriously, I'd wanna go on RAW. Smackdown! sucks because it's taped and the results are usually posted on the net the night of the taping, if not the following morning. If the show sounds like it's gonna suck, people won't tune in (like myself). If Smackdown! went live I'd still go to RAW only because cable allows for a little more in the way of censorship, not to mentoon RAW is always 10 to 15 minutes longer than it should be (why they just don't make the show 2 1/2 or 3 hours long at this point is beyond me).

And just what did you expect to find here? Something witty??

um, no. it is shown that more people watch smackdown in the ratings numbers, therefore this arguement holds no weight.

I would rather be on the Ric Flair show because I would be a worker and not some talking baby like the crock or chump hogan

i would say more people have cable or a dish than people that get STUPID UPN i know several people that have dish's that don't get UPN. by the way i want Vince to somehow get Raw cus it is the much more exciting show

From what I read in a rumor, the wrestlers will be jumping ship or showing up on each show pretty often.

Uhm.. could someone please explain the ratings thing to me? When I read about the ratings, Raw will do like a 4.7 while Smackdown does like a 3.9 or something along those lines. Raw is almost always higher and that is why I thought it had a bigger viewer base.

I've been to a bunch of both shows and RAW is much better. Smackdown! has too many long breaks in between matches.

I think cable ratings and broadcast tv ratings have different scales.

That is true. A rating is the percentage of people who have ACCESS to that form of braodcasting (cable or free TV) who watched. A share is what percentage of those who have access to the channel who were watching TV at the time watched, but we're not going to get into that.

So, as a result of cable having less possible viewers than free TV, less people can watch Raw and it will still get a higher rating number than Smackdown, but not a higher amount of people watching.

For example, let's say you have 10% of 20 and also have 5% of 100. 10% of 20 is 2. 5% of 100 is 5. The 10% is a higher percentage, but the 5% yields a higher number, which is the real thing we are concerned about here.

From what I know off the top of my head, a 3.9 rating in free TV on UPN is equivalent to about a 4.8 rating or so on TNN or a cable network. So, Smackdown usually beats Raw in cable ratings language by 4.8 to 4.6. It is not a dramatic beating, but I have found that just about every week, Smackdown beats Raw consistently. I guess MICHAEL COLE=RATINGS!!!!!

As for this week, if you are interested, ratings were higher than the past few weeks and Raw did it's best number since August at a 5.3 while Smackdown scored highly with a 4.3, meaning it was just about equal this week with Raw maybe slightly edging Smackdown out for once! Of course, the night-after-Wrestlemania edition of Raw would be expected to do that, so I'd imagine this was expected to be an odd week anyway.

I'd go to RAW mainly because that is their main show and there are better chances of surprises happening there.

Nothing big really happens on Smackdown due to the fact that it is taped and the secret would be out the next day on the Internet.
