Ok, first off, what the titles actually look like don't really make a lick of difference. For what its worth, despite what your opinion of the spinner belt was, it made sense for his white rapper character.

Smackdown not having enough talent is exactly
why they should have a draft. You send 3-4 guys to Smackdown that are never going to get a main event push (like Christian, Y2J, etc) and SD sends over one big name ( just to give a sense of balance) and a bunch of nobodies. The draft helps balance the rosters and opens up new storylines. Shelton benjamin as IC champion is the prime example.
As a matter of fact, the main reason to keep the brand extension is that the WWE's roster is so huge that if you had one roster for both shows, a lot of the midcarders would get no TV time, while 'names' like Flair, Triple H, Undertaker, Kane, Angle, HBK, would just end up on TV twice as much.
Basically, w/o a split, we never would've seen some of the midcard runs that we've seen the past couple years. It can be argued that Benoit, Eddie, Edge, Rey, Orton, and batista among others would be nowhere near where they are right now w/o the roster split.

You're pretty much an idiot. If the storylines wouldn't get better, than what the hell is the purpose behind scrapping the split? A show full of well-known names with crap storylines is, um......TNA.
As for this actual topic, JLR is right. The Raw after WM plus some big name cameos helped score a surprisingly large number (esp since the NCAA's pulled their largest ratings in years)
