"Raw" and "Smackdown" seem to have run their course -- any suggestions (new names may reflect the current state of the product)?

Go back to RAW is WAR and Warzone. The second hour of RAW is already labeled as RAWZone (for reasons unbeknownst to me), so that makes sense to me.

The word "War" is apparently too touchy after September 11th.
Damn political correctness.

Nitro and Thunder, ho, ho, I kid. Raw is fine, never liked smackdown as a name, don't know what to change it to though. How about the "Vince MacMahon Sports Entertainment Related Corporate Wrestling Product Extravaganza".

I never liked Smackdown as a show name really, never mind what were supposed to believe is its own product.
Raw and Nitro id rather have.
Just noticed
Monday Night Adultry
Thursday Bestiality
I also just noticed that they sound like names WCW would have used towards its death

Smackdown should be renamed Two Hours Without Triple H

Or as they're already commonly known as
Monday: the HHH show.
Thursday: that other show.

i always thought Raw should stay WWE Raw, and I've always thought Smackdown should be called WCW Nitro.

I think Raw is fine, although the "RawZone" second hour is retarded and makes no sense (War Zone made sense because it's a real phrase, Raw Zone is just stupid). Everyone knows it's a 2-hour show so just leave it with the one name, Monday Night Raw. Or just plain Raw, whatever works.
SmackDown needs a complete makeover. The name alone harkens back to The Rock's days, the show was created to be his showcase (and as competition for Thunder, I believe). If he's not there, there's no need to call it SmackDown (and that's a stupid name to begin with). I don't have any brilliant ideas on what to call it, other than maybe adopting Thunder since the SD is a blatant ripoff of that show anyway (the blue color scheme and whatnot).

the reason why its split in two is so they can say its two shows and have seperate ratings. You can say more stuff on cable if the show starts on or after 10 o clock.

I think the names are fine just how they are. Raw is known more to wrestling fans while Smackdown is known more to non-wrestling fans (due to the game franchise is my guess just like Madden to some non NFL fans)
