Are Brand Exclusive PPVs better Now or in the Past?

[Dog Based Gremlin]

1st ever Brand Exclusive PPV (SD brand)
Vengeance 2003

Last Brand Exclusive PPV (SD brand)
No Way Out 2007

1st Smackdown Exclusive PPV in 9 years
Backlash 2016

3 distinct eras of Exclusive brand PPVs

Which was better?

 

[GOATpernick]

Going strictly by these cards I'm taking 2016 by a landslide

1st ever Brand Exclusive PPV (SD brand)
Vengeance 2003

This one was VERY good

 

[Silkk]

They did a much better job building storylines back then

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

Smackdown had better ppvs back then. Better build up. Batista, taker, angle, rey, booker t, Eddie, etc.

Raw is pretty much the same maybe even better just knowing cena not main eventing every ppv for the wwe title.

On Paper, it SHOULD be new Brand Exclusives just off of talent alone.

But the past Brand Exclusives had like 2 months in between PPV Exclusives each (4-6 PPVs each, and the Big 4 PPVs) to build up everything to make it flow better and devote time to every part of the show.

Right, each brand had a PPV every other month so you didn't have 14 day Cena reigns like earlier this year.
But I'd say the single brand PPVs today..

Talent wise this era is better

 

[TobiOT]

They actually tried to make the brands feel different and special when it was a cross branded promotion, this era should be better since it's the best in ring talent in a long time but nope.
Only thing this era has better is that you don't need to pay full price for the ppv's anymore

talent is better now?
the talent on them top 2 ppvs is shytting on backlash.

Now

Better roster of workers

Each show you at least get 1 good match and sometimes a few

 

[Legal]

Roster is better now, but the fact that there's basically a PPV every two weeks between the two brands isn't helping anything. They need to go back to each brand having their PPV every two months.

 

[Playaz Eyez]

The roster may have better overall workers currently, but the 03 roster was loaded with legit star power, and that was the WWE in general, not just SD. Eddie, Rey, Edge, Angle, Benoit, Rock, HHH, HBK Booker, Taker, Kane, Brock, Big Show....I mean...come on

 

[Bob Loblaw]

I'd rather watch a show from then. These new jitterbug stuntmen gymnasts can go s a d aside from AJ

 

[Chris Cool]

how is it better talent now?

dean ambrose over guerrero?
bray wyatt over hbk?
hype bros over hardys?
