The brand split was great for the initial few years, but when the roster got pretty thin about 2008/2009 and they had to start doing more crossovers it became pointless.

I loved the whole brand split from 2002-2006. I still love the time they teased Bischoff being replaced by Shane only to have Bischoff keep his job and get his ass kicked by Austin. Speaking of which, looking back, the Austin/Bischoff Co-GM period was better than I remember when I watch old YouTube videos.

Side note: I really hope there is somehow and some way that WWE can give us Punk vs Austin at WrestleMania XXX. The WWE '13 interview gave me goosebumps. It is such a natural and easy feud and Austin has been off of WWE TV long enough for it to actually be a huge deal when he returns.
