WWE Superstar returns to Raw this Monday in an attempt to improve the declining ratings

[LastManStanding]

it's NEVER the other way around where a Raw superstar goes over to Smackdown to help them out. Vince always uses Smackdown to help Raw. Fox execs gotta be sick and tired of seeing the blatant favoritism Vince has for Raw and their deal hasn't even started yet. if Vince had his way he wouldn't even bring Smackdown on the road anymore and would prerecord weeks of episodes at a time down at Full Sail.

what's crazy is that Smackdown has been the better show probably 60% of the time since it was introduced in the late 90's and it had the disadvantage of being a taped show up until the last few years. maybe things will change in October when the Fox deal kicks in because Smackdown will get better ratings than Raw simply because Fox is in more homes than the USA Network. but either way they gonna have to tell Vince to go sit down somewhere and just enjoy the money.

The spilt is a terrible idea, especially in this current climate. Theres just not enough talent to keep ppl interested. Doesnt help da story lines are trash

They gotta have 1 show that features da best of da best. I cant tell u the last time i watched smackdown

i respectfullly disagree
their is enough on the roster to carry 2 brands

- but fans are tired of the same storylines (even becky is getting old)
- same matches (Raw starts with someone on the mic for 15 minutes, there is a brawl & then a tag match)
- the same superstars being pushed down our throats (killed Braun, we all tired of Corbin, Drew is an afterthought, etc)
- Vince & his family getting all the camera time
- personally i am tired of the women's division only featuring white & blondes (vince really squandered Asuka & Sasha....2 womens match for the titles at MIB. All white women and challengers white blondes. Previous MITB winners white blondes. of the contestants in this year MITB match for white blonde women not counting Carmella. Wouldnt the match be better with Kari and/or askua. Could you imagine an insane elbow from top of ladder)
- NXT callups being completely wasted

we got a segment with 2 of the best tags teams in the world focused on back shaving and borderline homophobia...what year is this?

its the same shyt every monday

Actually they have an abundance of talent, they are just in shambles creatively and feature the same people every week.

the worst thing that will happen to Smackdown is Vince making it a priority
it has excelled of the 2 brands cause its the red headed step child and vince loves raw

It’s funny because :flabbyvince: being so meddlesome on raw and neglecting smackdown is exactly why smackdown is better most of the time.

These mofos will do anything but book a better product, that whole "reboot" they did last year is completely obsolete

A reboot that lasted literally 1 night

"Let's just remove Baron Corbin as GM! That's the only problem people have with the show right now!"

While on top of that, seemingly giving him a main event heel push

 

[HipHopStan]

Who? What? Where? When? Why? How?

 

[jwinfield]

They really got Shane involved in feuds on both brands

Deep into mania where he retired kurt angle

 

[FromStLouis]

Vince really can't figure this brand split shyt out, smh.

And instead of making Smackdown the alternative to RAW he's opening the door for AEW to be the alternative to WWE.

Mans is dumb.

This is the most bored I have been with wwe as a whole in a long time. Even in the terrible years like 2007, 2011 etc there was still fresh new storylines that happened. I'm happy for kofi, becky getting pushes but their like the only things that I look forward to each week.

Yeah the cycle was usually SmackDown killing shyt for a few months and then there's a report about Vince wanting to get more hands-on with SD and the entire show tanking soon after

Hold on a sec here.. their idea of a "reboot" was push Mustafa Ali for a couple weeks, bring all the McMahons back to television and bring up several more NXT talents, half of which were given NOTHING to do and don't even appear on the shows..

That were their grand idea to save the product

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

If all y'all stop watching entirely I'm gonna have to be the one to bite the bullet, on some three eye raven shyt this history must be recorded..
