every week we get dolph ziggler vs kofi kingston matches it seems and with beth phoenix injured tiffany suspended
the smackdown diva's division is close to dead (michelle mccool layla kelly kelly rosa mendes and serena are all that's left)
we won't count rosa or serena too much because we have yet to see rosa wrestle on smackdown and serena only has been in a mixed tag team match
raw on the other hand is stacked with talent(it doesn't help that every nexus member and daniel bryan were also shoved onto raw making the roster even bigger)
sure this won't affect anyone who watches both raw and smackdown but if your someone whose a big smackdown fan and that's all you watch most of the time
then the smaller roster will effect your opinion on the show after all nobody wants to see the same matches over and over again every single week
but also nobody wants to see john cena beat the nexus with one hand tied behind his back either
so it's a tough decision to make do you want the smaller roster where guys who usually would never get a main event push do or do you want the larger roster where the guys who have been main eventing since you can remember are still main eventing and the younger guys are either low mid card or pure jobbers fed to guys like sheamus or cena?

From what I understand, WWE is just waiting until Smackdown moves to SyFy to move some more talent over there. After all, what's the point of moving bigger name guys over there right now when MyNetwork TV isn't going to be promoting the show that much with WWE leaving them?

i guess your right but it's not like syfy's gonna treat them any better when they could put all their time into promoting their syfy original movies and shows

SyFy could do that, and then WWE will pull their shows off NBC Universal cable networks because there's no promotional value and move somewhere else.

AJ Lee is going to debut on Smackdown from FCW soon. And, after this season of NXT I believe whoever the winner is will go there as well. The move to SyFy is pretty vital.

even though syfy is a pretty meh network that's not gonna net any wrestling company much viewers

Even before it went off the air wasn't ECW SyFy's highest rated program?

Yeah, it was. SyFy has turned away from just Science Fiction. That's why its letters were changed from SciFi to SyFy.

Mostly because that was its original theme and it still has its original viewers for that reason, but its also able to draw in others for its different type of programming.

its still a bad network choice for smackdown whose gonna sit through dozens of commercials asking them to watch the syfy premiere of original movies with stupid names like the revenge of rockman or super devil vs super knight

next thing you know their gonna put nxt on fx Why not? Wrestling is actually a good fit for the type of programming FX puts out there. For those that have been with SNW since the beginning, you might recall that according to storyline, Guys Night Out was originally aired on FX.
