I just don’t get Vince man. I just don’t understand why u decide to do a brand extension and then get mad when the other show is doing better. So instead of making better storylines and pushing other superstars. You purposely sabotage the other show just to make the main show better. Like does Vinny Mac understand that he gets paid either way? :mindblown:
It really is baffling. WWE produces at least 7 hours of content per week (Raw, SD, 205/MMC, NXT), but the way they book the shows, you'd think the powers that be are perfectly fine with audiences watching maybe an hour of it total.

until they end the brand split for good, wresting will continue to be trash
there is not enough talent for two shows, and the writers are trash
raw especially, can only be three hours if there is a brand split
watching that shyt every week is a chore and its always the same fukking matches every week

smackdown needs to be an continuation of raw, like it was back in the day. 5 hours of wrestling with completely different wrestlers, gms, storylines is too much

and again, the writers suck

women need to get their own show and only make special appearances on the main show

There is enough talent, they refuse to use them, some wrestlers haven't been on TV in weeks, they book terribly with the constant rematches.

well they dont have enough 'entertaining' talent then
lot of good wrestlers, but very few personas that catch with the audience
rusev is hilarious to me
but i never seen him cause i dont bother to watch smackdown
make both shows three hours if anything, and put on the best of the best on both shows
i agree with you, the writing sucks
but imagine if during the attitude era, you could only watch the rock on smackdown
its dumb

Switch AJ with Finn and let Balor Club cook on SD. Heel Finn vs. Nakamura.

AJ can go over to Raw and feud with whoever got the fruit by the foot strap.

The thing that blows my fukking mind is they literally did the brand split to get smackdown over. SDs ratings were never as good as raw so Vince wanted to change that. So SDs ratings went up after the draft and then he changes everything cuz Raw is his baby. Makes no sense


Vince needs to do raw and let Steph, trips and Shane do SD and have a lil Monday night war type rivalry. I know they're on different nights but they can still do a ratings battle

It's almost as if Vince legit got mad that Smackdown was by far the better show than Raw for like the first 9-12 months after the brand split. He shut that shyt down by destroying the Smackdown roster after WM 33. As a result Smackdown is still a solid show, but nowhere near as hot as it once was. Hopefully they do a better job of balancing the star power this go round.

Think about the people Smackdown lost.... Undertaker, Cena, Miz/Maryse, Alexa Bliss, Bray Wyatt

Now compare that to who Raw lost... Kevin Owens, Charlotte, and New Day

Although Owens, Charlotte, and New Day are great, it's clear Vince wanted to stack the star power on Raw.

He put Stephanie as the face of Raw & Shane as the face of smackdown. He couldn’t have Shane even LOOK more competent even as fake commissioner

I think it’s more about Vince trying to establish his “flag ship show” as a good product than trying to sabotaging SD.

But they don’t realize that accumalating all that star power doesn’t mean shyt without a proper creative direction.

I think Vince should have went all the way and made Shane & Stephanie legitimate commissioners and have them hire the writing staff for their perspective shows, make Raw & Smackdown into real promotions and make WWE into the NWA. The very real life competition would lead to the best tv shows possible and the hardcore fans would have sky high investment in every twist and turn and wonder what it means. If you do everything half assed, the result will be the same.

They don’t let them cook at all! On social media and the wwe network shows like ride along, a bunch of those guys on the roster show far more personality and charisma than they ever do on tv. You never know what a guy can do til you just do it, sometimes. With a brand split like they did, why couldn’t they say put Xavier Woods in the title mix for fast lane. New Day throwing pancakes at teams, they aren’t doing anything, why the fukk not? See what happens.
