Wow, that was a lot of reading, but a lot of good points, do I'll try to delve into a few.

First of all,

Why would I want to chase Mark Henry?

Anyway...

Brand Splits and One or Two Champs
Personally, I favor the brands being kept separate for a lot longer, maybe a couple more years, before I try to unite them again. Having a unified title essentially undoes the actions of the past couple of years. Granted, we haven't really had believable separate brands, but I think it still could happen. Even if they didn't try to make them look separate, time itself will make people more accustomed to RAW being RAW and SD! being SD!, without any mixing.

In short, I believe it is still too soon to unify the titles.

Benoit vs HHH?
If it gets Benoit the title, that's cool, but he won't be winning the WWE Title. He'll be winning the World Title, which would (as far as I know) be a title that he's held before. Furthermore, I really doubt Benoit, out of all people, would finally get a legitimate rub over Triple H. More likely (and yes, this is the pessimistic side of me speaking) he'll challenge, lose, then become a Chris Jericho or something like that.

On Long Term Booking
If these rumors are true, then this is quite welcome. I remember Wrestlemania 15 seemed to have a lot of steam heading into the PPV. It was literally the culmination of a lot of angles, as it should be. Some of the WM's since then have been a bit weaker in that category, with angles being only one or two months old at the most.

Now, an angle doesn't have to drag on continuously for several months to be good, but an angle can last several months without having direct feuds. Look at the Chris Benoit scenario. If he ends up facing Brock, and the feud ends at WM, you can say that it lasted a good half a year. Benoit made Brock tap at Survivor Series and has been in a program with Brock since then, at least indirectly. You look at Paul screwing Benoit, etc..., and it's all to avoid a Brock/Benoit match. So when you finally get one, you have a lot of history to it and it's a lot more intriguing seeing it all play out.

This is the sort of booking I want to see from the WWE: angles that are thought out and planned and are taken at excellent pacing.
