Brand Split, Good or Bad for business?

[Spiritchaser 107]

Hey :xyx

 

I goota go the logical route here, business is bad in WWE at present for a number of reasons, but the biggest one has to be the brand split.

 

The monotonous matches on PPV over and over again, with JBL and HCubed winning time and again is just becoming tedious, if the brands again merged would it make business better or worse?

 

For me it can only make it better, but please try not to give mights or maybes in this thread.

 

There are many reasons why RAW and Smackdown should remain as individual entities, but there should be interaction between the shows, as for too much talent, well it just gives the performers more time to recover from any niggling injuries and to be with their families a bit more, I mean The Dudleys have been gone for a while now and even when they come back there is no guarantee they will enliven things.

 

Where there is a will there is a way.

Against the Split!

No mights or maybes but they cant put them back together because of the amount of superstars, but they could join the shows back up and let some perform on SD and some on Raw and let them perform on each show different weeks.

 

But I cant see it happenining because it will be alot harder for the superstars to travel, plus other reasons but my answer to your question in my opinion is it would be better for us the fans.

The reason everybody is hating the WWE at the moment is because of long title reigns by heels. I enjoy that but the majority dont.

i am sick of the "fans" saying that the roster split sucks if it was ended every fued will be done to death and the WWE will be stuck like they were after the invasion angle.

This isnt even close to being true. The WWF boomed from 1984 - 1991 and survived from 1992 - 1996 before booming again in 1997 - 2001...throughout ALL those years, there was no stupid roster split. So you're saying that the WWE would be crap without the roster split when, infact, it was a much more profitable and more enjoyable company when there was no such thing.

 

No other wrestling company has a roster split either, or ever has...WCW never did, are you saying they were stuck? Nope...ECW, TNA...no roster split....

 

People are acting as if if WWE dropped the roster split, the company would go under or something rediculous like that, or that the company would grow stale...thats not true at all! The company worked fine running without any stupid roster split until late 2002, and it did great...it could easily revert back, drop all the dead weight and combine the big stars again...lets be honest, SmackDown! is a load of ****, its pitiful, its PATHETIC...if that show disappeared I doubt many people would give a rats ass, why? Because they have only half the stars they could have....as a matter of fact, their roster overall is a farce, and will never EVER be sucessful with the talent they have.

 

Roster split = slow death of WWE.

 

Dont believe me? We'll see.

[Guest Christian Rules]

The roster split would be good for business as the marks would love it. But i personally love the roster split.

[Guest PHIZZLE]

Listen when the roster split originally happened there was a need for a roster split as there were too many wrestlers after merging with wcw and ecw

 

But now after the many firings wwe do not have the depth of quality performers to have a roster split anymore

 

 

Look at the names that have gone

 

The Rock

Stone Cold

Goldberg

Brock Lesnar

Ernest "The Cat" Miller lol

 

Thats put a big dint in the roster that ending the roster split could help fix

[Guest FreeSpirit]

With all due respect to Spiritchaser-This is beating a dead horse over and over again-Ive had and read this discussion so many times that it totally annoys me nowadays. But to answer your question I think the roster split is a good thing as it allows more WWE talent air time and gives the talent less dates which makes them more fresher to compete. I personally would love to see the split continue.

 

But most WWE fans dont (or wont) see the benefits of a split (and never will) and maybe its time for WWE to at least seriously consider giving the majority of fans what they want by bringing the roster back together.

The reason everybody is hating the WWE at the moment is because of long title reigns by heels. I enjoy that but the majority dont.

 

The reason everyone hates the WWE right now is because of terrible booking. How many times do you want to see h3 with the title? I'm not trying to try and turn this into a h3 bashing thread, but come on. They should have a system set up where there is interaction between shows. We're getting tired of the same old fueds over and over. And switching 6 wrestlers or so a year really doesn't help either.

 

As for the split I'm undecided. It gets tedious seeing the same fueds repeatedly, but they have pushed some new talent since they don't have huge stars taking up all the tv time.

Please don't use quote marks around the word fans we are all fans of wrestling for whatever our personal reasons are, it is very insulting when someone does that.

 

I've been a fan for almost 30 years, so I reserve the right to feel insulted.

well said SC

[Guest RKODESTINY]

JBL+HHHRULES, Ya know you speak as if your not a fan yourself..As fans we have our rights to say what we want and how we feel about something on the show..So you shouldn't be so sh!#*y towards other peoples opinions.

[Guest MartynJ]

maybey the could leave the roster split, but have joint promotions at each ppv at least then they'll be all worth watching instead of the poor sd ones

[Guest Jung]

Someone please give me an actual reason as to why the roster split is bad. All I see reasons for it being bad is stuff like lack of stars etc. Yeah true they aren't building any new stars, but that's the writers fault, not the brand split's fault. In theory it should work, just unfortunately there is idiots writing the shows.

 

Thus when it becomes 1 roster, it will be the same idiots writing, the same feuds between the same people, and still no new stars being created, so what would be the big difference?

 

If anyone actually believes a roster split could be the reason for killing WWE, that's just stupid and ignoring the real reasons. I.e the booking is terrible, and making no new stars= the death of WWE

[Guest Gooneronastick]

I think the idea was good when it first happened. It gave all the talent a chance to shine. But I'm now of the opinion that if it is to continue, WWE needs more fresh faces with talent in the ring. (i.e. NOT guys like Tomko and Heidenreich). Otherwise they might just as well drop the roster split.
