RYAN HALL: RAW, Smackdown, Tough Enough.  RAW still gives the 'somewhat
unknown' feeling, and thus the edge over Smackdown.

PAUL ZOROVICH:  Smackdown always seems to work better as a TV show than
Raw -- maybe it's the couple of days' editing time they have?

STEPHEN TISZENKEL: It's sad that I have to pick Tough Enough as the best
show of the year, but it was consistently entertaining, which is more than
I can say for anything else.

SCOTT WORDEN: SmackDown is the best show this year.. Seems like the better
matches were on it and the longer ones too.. less tackling until recently
it seemed.

DONNY L: Raw over Smackdown just because of the Ross is one hundred times
better then Cole

JOHN C.: Smackdown comes in first because I never read spoilers and I find
that there's more wrestling content on that show. Raw comes in second
obviously with Tough Enough rounding out the top three.

YNAE316: I actually liked the Tough Enough concept, though them letting
Bobbie Joe on probably ranks up there in the "dumbest promotional move"
category.  She admitted to usingthe WWF as a stepping stone to Playboy.  
She would probably get there easier sending Heff a headshot orsomething.
They shoulda let in the Aussie chick they featured so much in the casting
edition.

BEE MONTEVERDE: At least Jakked had wrestling on it!

RAGEROCKRR: WWF Tough Enough was the only WWF show this year that I was
glad I tuned into it every time I watched it.
