1. Match Result Don't Seem To Matter
There were five matches on this week's show with the following results in order: Submission win, no contest or announcement of a result, another match with no announcement, pinfall and pinfall due to interference while the heel announcer called it clean. When a show is struggling for ratings the way that SmackDown is, the best way to get fans back is to put on great matches with results that mean something. Having two matches end without any result is a message to the fans that if they choose to skip the show they are missing nothing because the results matter so little right now. Hey WWE, do you want people to care more? Show us you care by booking better finishes. Every match should have an announcement telling us who won or why the match ended in a disqualification or countout. Just going to a commercial isn't enough. They have to be more consistent with this stuff.
