i dont really care ither i just want smackdown to die and just have raw and ecw and put sd stars on raw or at least have another draft lottery.Kourtney_Game

you are really pessimistic, man you are making everything look bad as if nothing really interrests you in WWE. Some positive posts about any WWE related things are not forbidden.

Also Smackdown owns ECW, and goes even with Raw. Yeah lets have a loterry draft, let Kane come to Smackdown together with Kurt Angle.

ECW is DEAD.

So you don't like The Undertaker, Lashley,  Jeff Hardy (he was in Smackdown) etc.? interresting.

Good things? where? usually when I read your posts, it's usually ''they suck, hate them'' etc. why not stop insulting the superstars (e.g. John Cena)?

Mr.Game, this is only an advice to you.

okay I'll be fake now:

John cena is an awesome wrestler, i reallly love him

wait..no, i cant even fake tha, and no i dont like lashely, and the now undertaker, and jeff is not even in smackdown so dont use him, and if u dont like my *negative* but truthful comments, then just ignore me then, im not going to be sugar coated, i will be honest and strait forward on my feelings, or else i wouldnt be fair
