The point I'm making is that it would do these wrestlers more justice if they were actually given T.V. time on the MAIN SHOWS to showcase their stuff......where far more people actually watch.

Plus, since ECW is the developmental brand of WWE, it only makes sense that the bright ones get drafted to Raw and SD. I really don't see the problem.
The problem is that these guys get "elevated" to RAW and ultimately get buried. This doesn't help either RAW or ECW. It hurts ECW since they lose a top star, and doesn't do RAW any justice since a talent just gets buried.

Jack Swagger. Nuff said.

You always seem to want to restructure the brands, you make a thread about the subject rather frequently. In reality, the only brand that needs help is Raw. I am perfectly happy with ECW and Smackdown right now. Hell, even Superstars produces some good matches.
I make threads about the subject rather frequently because it's such a glaring problem......and yet it's a problem that is easily fixable.

The wrestlers putting on 5 star matches on ECW and Smackdown, should be doing this on RAW (#1 show) *WITHOUT* being held back by a ridiculous glass ceiling.

You are definitely right that RAW needs to be restructured, but it needs to be done in such a way where the other shows are not getting adversely affected (i.e. Batista's presence on Smackdown only hurts the chances of CM Punk being a legitimate top guy on the show).
