Yeah it was, they should just strip all titles somehow and start over again, not entirely from scratch but just sort of make a fresh start. A good time to do this would be if they move back to the USA network. And yeah the brand split is retarded from both a business standpoint and a fans view. They're definately not going to care just as much for Smackdown as they are RAW. Smackdown's place and sponsors will always be secure since they're on the UPN network, nothing else could really surpass that show. RAW is on a cable network, and as of right now with the contract renegotiations they're gonna need some stronger rating for it, they should just end the brandsplit as it would make things much simpler for them. Backstage morale shouldn't be an issue anymore since the superstars on Smackdown are said to be unmotivated and not as upbeat about the product as they used to be anyway.
