I can either go to the RAW show tomorrow night at the arena 3 miles from my house, or to the Smackdown show in Detroit, which is about a 2 hour drive. I'm debating on going to both, but don't think I can afford it since I'd have to pay for both me and my fiancee to go. Here's the cards as posted on WWE.com:

RAW Saginaw Event:

All-Michigan team battles World Champ & Batista
Rob Van Dam & Scott Steiner vs. Triple H & Batista

Booker T vs. Christian

Kane vs. Jamal w/ Rosey

World Tag Team Championship
William Regal & Lance Storm vs. Dudley Boyz

Tommy Dreamer vs. Steven Richards

Women's Championship
Victoria vs. Molly Holly

Jeff Hardy vs. Rico

Christopher Nowinski vs. Maven

Spike vs. Red Dog


Smackdown Detroit Event:

WWE Championship
Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit

Handicap Match
Brock Lesnar vs. Big Show & Paul Heyman

Tag Team Championship
Team Angle vs. Los Guerreros

RAW vs. SmackDown! Kiss My Ass Match
Rikishi & Edge vs. Christian & Chris Jericho

Sean O'Haire vs. John Cena

Rey Mysterio & Funaki vs. Matt Hardy & Shannon Moore

Billy Kidman vs. Jamie Noble w/ Nidia

Special referee: Dawn Marie
Torrie Wilson vs. Nidia

Kanyon vs. A-Train

Nathan Jones vs. Bill DeMott

Smackdown. Angle vs. Benoit and Los Guerreros vs. Team Angle blow away the whole Raw card all by their lonesome.

The Smackdown card is about 1000x better than the Raw card. Hey, just like the shows!

I say go to both. Of course, given the choice, I'd say Smackdown just because its Benoit/Angle.

Say, why is Red Dog on the RAW show?

Oh, and I'd go to the Smackdown show.

Yes, the Smackdown show is pretty kickass. My main dilemma, though, is the location of each show. The RAW show is literally right down the street from me at the Saginaw Civic Arena. The Smackdown show is a 2 hour drive to Detroit. Ah hell, 2 hours is nothing for a Kurt Angle/Chris Benoit main event!

If ya can't do both, the Smackdown show is the clear choice. Make an event of it for the girlfriend, do it up nice and show her a good time!

I'll be the only one to go the other way : go to the Raw live show. Clearly Smackdown is the better show on TV & has the far better technical wrestling. I can't characterize exactly why, but for some reason, I've always have more fun at the Raw live shows. It may be as simple as a whole extra level of energy from the guys knowing that they're being broadcast live. It may be that the technical wrestling is better to watch via the close-up camera angles on TV. (A Crippler Crossface is pretty boring to watch if you happen to be behind the "show side" of it.) You don't get the added amusement of the Tazz/Cole commentary. You said the Raw show is at the smaller (more intimate) venue? I always like that better, & probably better tickets still available. Dunno exactly what it is. But if I couldn't go to both, that's the way I'd go.

Lets see the tale of the tape

Main Event- Rob Van Dam & Scott Steiner vs. Triple H & Batista OR Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit = ADVANTAGE SMACKDOWN

Tag Team Titles- William Regal & Lance Storm vs. Dudley Boyz OR Team Angle vs. Los Guerreros = ADVANTAGE SD

Women - Victoria vs. Molly Holly OR Torrie Wilson vs. Nidia (Dawn special ref) = ADVANTAGE RAW, oh no still no Trish

If you love Christian you win either way- Booker T vs. Christian OR Rikishi & Edge vs. Christian & Chris Jericho = ADVANTAGE RAW... You gotta love WWE planning LoL,

Cool Hardy or creepy Hardy- Jeff Hardy vs. Rico OR Rey Mysterio & Funaki vs. Matt Hardy & Shannon Moore = ADVANTAGE SD

Kane vs. Jamal w/ Rosey OR Brock Lesner vs. Big Show & Paul Heyman = ADVANTAGE SD

Tommy Dreamer vs. Steven Richards OR Sean O'Haire vs. John Cena = ADVANTAGE SD, unless Victoria comes out with Richards then it might be a push

Christopher Nowinski vs. Maven OR Billy Kidman vs. Jamie Noble w/ Nidia = ADVANTAGE SD

Spike vs. Red Dog OR Nathan Jones vs. Bill DeMott = ADVANTAGE SD. Just to see Nathan

Plus there's a Kanyon vs. A-Tain vs. nothing on Raw = PUSH. A Train is so bad it would have been advantage Raw if it wasn't for Kanyon LoL

It looks like 7-2 with one push in Smackdown's advantage. I just hope Christian has short cut from Saginaw to Detroit or vise versa so he can get to both shows as advertised

But, I think he means this weekends house shows, not TV Tapings, so no cameras at either.
If the RAW card even looked mediocre, I'd say save the 2 hour drive and go to it. But, the quality of the shows are so different the 2 hour drive might be worthwhile.
And, how is Kanyon is a face?

Something just doesn't seem right with that card. Why all of a sudden an inter-promotional match?!? Why would they debut Nathan Jones without telling us about it this past Thursday?? Red Dog was with John Cena, why the hell is he on Raw now?!?! Why is Paul Heyman wrestling?!? Are they figuring that nobody in the arena figured out it was Kanyon attacking Taker? So he's face now? Seems like a lot happening on Smackdown and no mention of the Rock/Hogan segment that's supposed to go down. I dunno, seems inaccurate. Where did that card come from??

Oops -- my bad -- not paying quite enough attention to the question. Sorry. Yeah, go to Detroit.
