I like the ideas. Very good read as far as I'm concerned. Good idea to end the Invasion angle at Wrestlemania and NOT Survivor Series.

You know what I think would be interesting? Eddie Guerrero vs. Chris Benoit for the unified world title. Here's what would be the twist. Although Guerrero and Benoit are still friends with one another (who respect one another greatly), they are still in-between the whole Raw/Smackdown feud.

Leading up to this match, a lot of Smackdown guys would be backing up Guerrero (and pumping him up), while Benoit would receive that same level of support from his 'Raw' teammates.

Basically - it would be two friends, who are on the "opposite sides of the fence" so to speak.

I think it could be interesting.......not to mention, a great match.

start hiring the smarks who know what the hell fans want,

This could also be a problem. A lot of smarks do NOT know (or atleast sympathize) with what most marks want. Perhaps if someone from tpww was made head booker, the following could occur.........

-Chris Benoit gets a long title reign, with Benjamin, Shawn Michaels, and Chris Jericho as his main opposition.

-Triple H gets taken off TV (or gets a mediocre role on TV).

-Eugene loses his current gimmick

-Much less focus on sports-entertainment.

A lot of people on HERE might appreciate something like that, but would the marks?

I feel that the recent slump in PPV buyrates is because of the roster split and the "Brand Only PPV." People who regularly watch a show will watch the PPV, unless it's Smackdown (I don't have cable, I get just Smackdown and The Bottom Line). They decreased the number of people watching a show when they decided that they would have a different brand with a different show for a different month. F that. Bring the shows back together, and increase the alloted time to put more matches in.

I couldn't agree anymore.

The WWE has to realize that there are NO ADVANTAGES from the roster split.

Yes - new stars were created during the roster split, but these same stars would've been created without the split (due to the awesomeness of the gimmick).

Even though more guys became WWE champion during this time, ratings were not affected. Had their been a UNIFIED roster however (in which a new champ was crowned), perhaps things would've been different (since being made 'champ' would've meant more).
