To follow up on the Stone Cold Steve Austin to Smackdown situation.
I was on WWE.com and on the main page they are advertising tickets for the March 3rd edition of Raw. What is interesting is that they are advertising Stone Cold Steve Austin to appear on the show. Like always the card is subject to change but if Austin was going to Smackdown right after No Way Out I don’t think they would be advertising him for Raw. But we will just have to wait and see. We here at WrestleView.com will keep you updated on the story.

Austin should be on Raw. He doesn't fit Smackdown.... We need him to whoop Evolution's ass, and whoop Triple H's ass. Thats the bottom line, because Blaze said so!  |

I've said it before and I'll say it again. AUSTIN IS RAW! NOT SMACKDOWN!

Austin is RAW and he shoulde be there. But I wouldn't mind seeing him on Smackdown to shake things up. RAW is doing fine the way it is. Smackdown seems dull.

I think Stone Cold IS RAW! In my opinion SD has alot more upper tier talent than RAW does so Austin is desperatley needed.

Once again, I know I'm alone in this but I think Smackdown lacks talent compared to RAW or at least in the way they use them. Austin would bring action to Smackdown, something I think the show really lacks. |

I'm sorry but I disagree with you Bruce. I think SmackDown EVER since Stone Cold left have been the superior program. I think SmackDown have the better roster and most definitaly the better upper echelon superstars. SmackDown: Kurt Angle, Brock Lesnar, The Rock, The Undertaker, Team Angle, Edge, Chris Benoit, Big Show, Hulk Hogan, Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio. These guys are the upper tier caliber stars they have. RAW on the other hand have very few: RAW: Triple H, Booker T, Scott Steiner, Chris Jericho, HBK, Batista, Kane and RVD. That is quite a difference if you ask me. Just my opinion though. |

I understand but I see things differently. I said RAW has better talent by the way they use them.
RAW has exciting angles and use every wrestler to their full potential. Smackdown is boring and holds back wrestlers and keeps them in redundant, stale angles. Using your lists here is how I see the top talent on each show:
SmackDown: Kurt Angle, Brock Lesnar, The Undertaker, Chris Benoit, Hulk Hogan
RAW: Triple H, Booker T, Scott Steiner, Chris Jericho, HBK, Batista, Kane, RVD, Randy Orton, Ric Flair
For Smackdown I took away the Rock because he just came back to the show last week and who knows how soon he'll leave again. I took away Team Angle and Edge because they are being held back and they're stuck in the same redudant storyline every week. I took away Big Show because I don't seem him as top talent. I think he's just a big Jeff Hardy. If anything, he might have been held back as well. Eddie Guerrero is not being allowed to succeed like he should either. After seeing that ridiculous promo last week who knows what they'll do with him. I took Rey Mysterio off because he has been made to job to A-Train twice and he only opens shows now.
As for RAW I added Orton and Flair. Keep in mind that Nash will be on RAW soon as well. Basically, I think Smackdown holds guys back and for whatever reason pushes only a few guys at a time. But on RAW, I think everyone gets the proper push with the exception of Kane. RAW uses the talent they have wisely and actually has good storylines. Smackdown uses a handful of guys and makes them all take turns wrestling each other week after week.

No I still think it has to do with how they use talent. Storylines and feuds keep fans interested not individuals. Individuals may help sell tickets and bring fans to the arenas but talent and feuds make people watch TV. Just because guys like Guerrero, Matt hardy and Edge draw crowds it doesn't mean they are being used correctly and Smackdown suffers as a result.

i agree but what im saying is, they always should have a balanced card, weather they use the guys right or not is erelivant, they must have a balanced card before storylines and feuds come into it
