Where yo' grandma stay.
Is it just me? SmackDown does a wondeful job of time management and storytelling but the show feels hollow. Personally I equate it to the fact that WWE fans have been conditioned to 3 hour shows for 4 years now and anything less doesn't feel like enough. Not that I want them to change what they're doing because its great but I'd like them to switch it up a little before it gets too formulaic. I dunno' maybe I'm reaching here but there is something off with the show that I can't put my finger on.

Yeah...I'm loving SmackDown...Alexa Bliss, Carmella, Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper
Rhyno, Kane, Dean Ambrose and of course A.J Styles.

Of course they could always benefit from some more star power...like say
Samoa Joe & Nakamura...but I'm really liking what they are doing with the
talent and time they have.

No, Your right @Botchie Botcherson I feel cheated when Smackdown goes off I guess I'm so used to watching 3 hours of wrestling now.

Smackdown is great, but having a couple more Superstars wouldn't hurt at all. Plus Raw had conditioned a lot of us to 3 hours of wrestling...

Won't happen Buddy

I know it won't. And it sucks.

But, I've given up on it, honestly.

Both WWE and the USA Network benefit from the show being 3 hours long, so just because we don't like RAW being a 3 hour show is not going to make WWE revert it to being 2 hours again.

I like the direction Smackdown is going in. But the addition of one or two stars from NXT, would give it a nice little bonus.

Do admit the time flies very fast, but that doesn't mean it's a bad thing. If anything, it makes the show much better.
