Anyone get the feeling that VKM is reliving the Monday Night War era of "Sports Entertainment?" Think about it: 1) Monday Night Raw. Was not always like this, but here we have an unbeatable face champion that slays all the monsters put in his way. The WWE Title, IC Title, and Women's Title all reside on RAW. Of course, if VKM sees RAW as WWE, then he must have the "A" announce team on it, and if RAW is WWE, then... 2) Friday Night Smackdown is Nitro. Here we have a heel champion who will stoop to anything to hold onto the belt. We got the guy that WAS WCW for years: Ric Flair. You got the World Heavyweight Title, the US Title and the Cruiserweight Title (WWE called it the Light Heavyweight Title). Clearly, Smackdown wrestlers are a step down from RAW. Look at what happens when they shift them around and they have matches with RAW guys. Of course, VKM sees Smackdown as higher than... 3) ECW. Look at Lashley. Was doing OK on Smackdown, holding the US Title for a spot--Could not get over for the World Title though. Send 'em to ECW, and now all of a sudden he is a giant among midgets and wins the title right away (over a real life giant, no less). Now we got what Tazz once referred to as the "Land of misfit toys." Though Vince helped ECW back in the day, there was no way he ever thought of the company as more than at best a farm club for him. Now all you got in there is some young guys who cannot carry a show, and the (ah, what is the opposite of best and brightest).
