Imagine having to write a Game of thrones episode that was 5 hours.

That's great in theory sure. It doesn't guarantee an improvement in quality though for either or both shows, just that one show MIGHT be better than the other.
Not to mention the fact that one show (cough, Raw, cough, cough) will always be seen as the "premier" show by most people, including fans, talent, Vince, office, backstage, etc. Even if Smackdown actually ends up being better than Raw in quality content, Raw's been around longer, has the more established brand, is more iconic, etc. A brand split isn't going to change that, let alone all the other flaws in WWE's writing, creative, booking, production, content, etc. This is just a way for Vince and everyone to feel better about the product and distract the fans from the fact that nothings really going to change or improve. Same company, same folks in charge, more of the same.
