Going to assume Summer and Becky don't have bloated bowels and that they are "healthy"
Becky looks creepy there. Not at all what she looks like on tv. Arms look like a dead tree. Those selfies showing off your muscles in the mirror are maybe the douchiest pics one can take. |

SD would never be booked like NXT is.
Once you're talking about a main brand, the existing writers and producers will want to get involved. Pretty soon it will look no different than Raw. It's an odd time to suggest brand split when the main event talent pool is so thin |

And if you mean that there isn't enough "big" stars in WWE that's been the case for over a decade, and has nothing to do with lack of talent. WWE doesn't have any big stars outside Cena because they're inept at booking, period. There are plenty of guys that could be major players if WWE hadn't shit the bed every time they tried to push someone. |

The issue with the brand split is just math. If you split the brands, you have half the talent on each side. I think its BS to think there are a boat load of guys who could be headliners (who draw) but cant because their stuck in some bottleneck. The only guy who could lead his own tour was Daniel Bryan, but he's on the shelf. The next closest are probably Reigns and Orton, and neither of those guys will light the world on fire. I just dont see the benefit of splitting talent to create some fake form of competition. At the height of WWE their was no such thing as a brand extension, and plenty of dudes got over big time. |

Except the last time they split the brands, having two "diluted" rosters allowed guys like John Cena to prove themselves as headliners to begin with. If he was on the same show as Triple H when he came up in 2002-03, Cena would never have had the same opportunity.

I've said this ad nauseum for a while now but I just can't see myself ever going out of my way to watch SmackDown again unless they brought back the split. Nothing important happens on SmackDown at all. At least if they have a dedicated roster for there, I may actually watch it to see people I can't see on Raw.

The WWE actually does have a lot of guys who could potentially serve as hooks and get people more invested in the product. Dean Ambrose was getting really hot last year, and was almost as equally important to the show as John Cena was. Then they had Ambrose lose any sense of direction and start losing on basically every PPV until Extreme Rules. Bray Wyatt could have been a new era's top heel, but instead he's spent the last two WrestleMania events losing, proving that he's all talk. Cesaro was presented as a world-beater at WrestleMania XXX, then had the world beat him. Not one of those guys is John Cena, but not one of those guys needs to be -- after all, they still have John Cena. There's no reason you cannot present them in a way that allows fans who like them to feel that their emotional investment is going to lead to memories being made -- memories that invariably fuel their fandom of the product. Earlier this year -- despite me thinking it was possibly the stupidest direction to take a once great personality -- Damien Sandow got really fucking over building up tension between himself and The Miz. Where is Sandow now? He's nowhere. Don't tell me that guy wouldn't benefit by being on a different show right now. |

I don't even think they need an official brand split, but the benefits of one are ridiculously obvious. Even if they just blocked things out differently, so without official lines drawn, you had the Dolph Ziggler vs. Rusev feud happening almost exclusively on SmackDown, for example.

1) Cena got lucky. Had Lesnar never left Cena would be a nobody right now, period. 2) Cena was floundering badly until he changed to the Doctor of Thuganomics gimmick and they began to book him as more than just a generic turd. Without that change and the booking behind it he would never have connected with the fans the way he did. 3) Cena had the brand split to allow him to shine. Had Cena not been on Smackdown when he was he would have been crushed under the shadow of Triple H and the other big names running about RAW. Whether you want to believe it or not facts are facts. Superstars are made, not born. Sure, there's a measure of talent that some people are just born with, but that talent is worthless without the proper outlet and chances to foster its growth. The brand split would allow that environment to exist. I also love how you keep acting like WWE's current business model is working. The ratings have been stagnant for over a decade now. Wrestling is a dying industry at the moment and it's all because of people who think the way you do. You can't hold onto the past like a starving baby on its mother's tit just for a couple extra PPV buys in the present. Without risk there is no permanent reward. What happens when Cena, Lesnar, and Triple H can't go anymore? No one will be anywhere near ready to take over and it's all because they didn't take the chance and try to groom them. WWE would rather stew in mediocrity with the few big stars they have for a guaranteed buck, but that guaranteed buck isn't going to last forever. |

Literally my only problem with the brand split was 2 world titles. It does water down the "moment" of winning the title when instead of it signifying you're THE guy, it just signifies you're "one of the guys". There should always be one top champion. You can raise the IC and US titles to signify dominance on a specific brand and then let the World Champion go back and forth defending it between brands. Having a "WWE" and a "World" championship was always just silly.

How about having 2 different tag championships when there were, like, 3 tag teams? Didn't the Womens and Divas titles exist at the same time as well?
Not arguing for or against the brand split. Just loling. |

Still smh about the Divas Revolution. If you told me 3-5 years ago that at this time the #1 thing in WWE that upsets me would be the Womens Division I would have quit watching wrestling.

They should keep the tag titles and divas title exclusively to one brand. Having only one show top showcase those divisions elevates their importance and gives whatever show their something unique from the other.
