I don't hate it, but it's obvious that this roster is dire. It's going to have to build a midcard and the main events are going to have to carry it until that happens.

Problem is, I don't know how to make people really give a poo poo about the tag teams or the women's division with nothing at stake.

They should be fighting for a number 1 contender spot and there should be a rule that the titles have to be defended once a month by the number 1 contender from the other brand.

I can handle mediocre Smackdowns while they work out the roster kinks. Commentary is gonna need time to hit its stride (mostly due to Otunga, JBL will figure it out sooner), but you've got a lot of jobbers that are going to be expected to step up and be better. Ryder may not be the best example, but his recent push is the kind of thing I expect to see from other wrestlers.

The roster can be serviceable, but it's gonna need some work to get there.

I agree 100% with all of this. Raw was like, close to flawless. This show is rather clunky and is exposing some flaws (commentary, shallower roster) but the thing is those things can get better through building guys up (like Crews and Corbin) and bringing back a guy like Shelton is PERFECT for SD's current deficits as well.

There is no way this show was gonna be as good as Raw but it's mediocre leaning good when basically all the show's star power is used up by the main event. If this is the new norm assuming SD hits more of its stride (which I think it will) I am SO cool with this brand split.

Smackdown feels like Vince is focusing all his effort and energy on it to make the ratings go up

I disagree. It would be significantly worse if that were the case.

American Alpha should be given a half an hour of the show every week. Sometimes they can wrestle but other times they can just like hang out in catering. Chad Gable would be a joy to watch doing anything.
