10 Reasons WWE SmackDown Is Already Better Than Raw

10. Two Hours Long

Look, it's a simple point, and it's been made before, but Raw is really, really long. If you watch it live in the UK, you are up until hell o'clock in the morning, and if you record it for later, you need to dedicate a whole evening to it. Three hours is too long to be watching wrestling on a weekly basis.

SmackDown meanwhile is a nice and respectable two hours. That's the length of an average film or a couple of episodes of House of Cards. It's just right.

When Raw is over and done with, you feel like you've come staggering, sweaty and panting over a marathon finishing line. When SmackDown's done, you almost fancy a little bit more.
