Smackdown was the absolute fucking tits during this era. You had the Smackdown 6, the cruiserweights, Undertaker; it literally was the best show on TV for wrestling.
RAW's advantage was that it was live, but Haitch would drone on and on and on at the start of every show. For 3 goddamn years he ran unopposed and everyone built up was just torn the fuck down. RVD, Kane, Booker, Jericho, Steiner, Goldberg all fell victim to the hammer. He put Eugene over, but that was never gonna go anywhere nor was it intended to. Hunter would only put over his friends and it was literally a full on glimpse of what the industry would have looked like had the Kliq completely took over which they somewhat did in the end. Burying hot and up and coming talent in favor of only wrestling and putting over your buddies. It DID succeed in making main eventers out of Orton and Batista and giving Flair a few more paycheques for his debts, but it took a lot of bodies along the way for that coronation. Hell, even Patterson got fired for telling the truth adter being told to find out what was causing the rapid decline in ratings and it was because people hated Triple H.
Smackdown was where the action was during that time. Triple H being so fucking ass for 3 goddamn years was waht made that show so fucking fire and big tits and that show during that era never gets the credit it deserves.
