I like to put similar shows together on my list...
72.WCW Monday Nitro (1995-2001)
Sports Entertainment
Mega Mana's Ranking: Not on list
During the Monday Night War I was a WCW guy. My favorite wrestlers were DDP and Sting, I always watched Nitro instead of Raw, though I did still rent and watch old WWF pay per views. Honestly though, this show could be completely ridiculous even by pro wrestling standards, and the last years were just painful. But I still loved the prime of it, where you had a great tag division, and each week had a great cruiserweight or TV title match at the start of the show.
Interesting note: According to IMDB the people with the most episode appearances on Nitro were announcer Tony Shiavone (sp?) and wrestler Bam Bam Bigelow. That second one really surprises me.
71.WWE Raw (1993-____)
Sports Entertainment
Mega Mana's Ranking: Not on list
Raw won the war, and had the objectively better shows most the time. What more can I say.
Interesting note: According to IMDB the people with the most episode appearances on Raw are announcer Jerry Lawler and wrestler John Cena. Hard to believe Cena has already past the guys who were around when Raw started.
70.WWE Smackdown! (1999-____)
Sports Entertainment
Mega Mana's Ranking: Not on list
Yes, the exclamation point really is part of the title. Smackdown! is WWE's B show. It is supposed to be the weaker show. And for the early years it was, then came the brand split. For some reason, despite almost always having a far weaker roster, it seemed to often be the more interesting show. Better storylines, better matches, fewer dumb stuff. Maybe it was because all the celebrities want to be on Raw, or the headliners that we get sick of are always over there, whatever it is this has been consistantly true for the last like 5 years.
Interesting note: According to IMDB the people with the most episode appearances on Smackdown! are announcer Michael Cole and wrestler The Undertaker. No surprise there. What might be a surprise is that the next person on the list (6 episodes fewer) is Matt Hardy.
