Did anyone else notice the silver ring aprons, posts, and even steps? I thought that looked really cool, and helps distinguish it even more from Raw. Maybe it has been like that for a few weeks, but I just noticed it tonight. A really cool touch.

I think it's a difinite (NOT definate) improvement! I think it's those small things, the attention to detail, that helps to distinguish one promotion from another (and in this case of course, two separate divisions of WWE). I dig the silver! And thank goodness the blue ropes are back! Keep the black ropes for the PPVs, so they have a distinct look for the ring.
It's funny, because I've always been interested with the different looks of WWE's rings, WCW's and other organizations' rings, over the years. Just one of those things, I suppose. (I always loved the 1994 WCW ring w/ the gray canvas, yellow WCW symbol and turnbuckles, and black ropes.)
Right on, WWE, for continuing to do the smaller things to separate SD! from RAW. Keep it up!
David Crockett sez it best, folks: "Look at 'im, Tony! Look at 'im!"
(Oh, I liked the ring by the way, I just felt the need to do that.)

Hey, do this big man a favor, back away from yourselves and your need to whine and cry about every little detail. Must you ruin everything? Take your Flinstones vitamin and grow up.
until taker came and joined smackdown, i was hoping they'd have the japan style ramp that is level with the ring...

I may not be a fan of the lighter colors but it stands in contrast to every other wrestling ring in this country. Kudos for at least trying something new.

So far X-Pac is looking like a pretty smart man. $10 bucks for bad interviews, Harris Twins and bad angles isn't going to last very long. Russo's problem seems to be that he just won't change. The man is stuck in the 1990's.
