And unless I'm mistaken, Kofi Kingston is in the top 5 faces for that brand (out of active singles wrestlers). Now nothing against Kofi...but when out your top 5 faces is rounded out by a solid midcarder, maybe you need to reorder the roster a bit.

Well look at Smackdown's faces...Jeff Hardy and Triple H. I think after that the next big face is The Great Kalhi. V_V

And on Smackdown, the top 5 faces is rounded out by either R-Truth or Hurricane Helms.

That being said...maybe they could shrink down to one brand...

Oksy, looked through the SD roster and realized I missed Undertaker, but since he's only part time anyway, I tend to get he's there (that and I don't watch SD).

I as someone struggling for work right now feel wrong for what I'm going to say, but will stick behind it...WWE needs to start letting half the roster go, and merge their rosters back together. Honestly alot of guys are going to waste, and the roster's talent pools are weak. Most of these guys would probably be doing fine on the independent market, or maybe realize it's time to get into another career (just noticed from another post that Steven Richards moved into the tech field and seems to be doing well).

Again, it's something wrong to say, and I congrad WWE for not placing as many people out of work as they could (even if it's not to be kind), but I think it's time it happened.

They used to have so many more wrestlers, at least I thought they did. But I think they fill out the roster pages with announcer and Stone Cold. Hell the raw page alone has 11 filler people on it: D'Lo, Duggan, Hardcore Holly, Lawler, Lilian, Cole, Vince, Ron Simmons, Stone Cold, Noble and Val Venis.

Smackdown has only 4 fillers, depending on if you count DH Smith who hasn't been seen in months.

Still doesn't take away from the fact that I was more entertained by 2 hours of Raw on television that 4 hours of a live show with Smackdown this week. Hell, the ECW Champion and the Raw Tag Team Champions had more airtime in the last two shows then most the Smackdown roster.

Well Kofi IS over. At least someone like Ortiz isn't up there.

There's nothing wrong with having a solid midcarder in your top 5. Quit being so picky.

Can't please you people. It's either "they don't push the midcard" or it's "they push the midcard too high."

Calm down. Breathe. It's ok. There is nothing wronig with this.

Yeah, there's nothing wrong with it, to be honest. Especially when your other four guys are John Cena, Shawn Michaels, Rey Mysterio and CM Punk. They are all very over, and all move merchandise.

On SmackDown! you've got Jeff Hardy, Triple H, The Undertaker, The Great Khali and then Mr. Kennedy. Plus, with the ECW talent exchange thing, both brands have access to other top faces like Matt Hardy and Finlay.
