So do you prefer watching angles once a week or two? Obviously two, but do you think it's affected the product right now in a negative way or not.
I think that two shows over which a week could advance a storyline helped out a lot, though its current effect is diminished. Actually, I think two shows a week now is worth less than one show each from WWF and WCW. With the Raw rewind and the Smackdown Rebound! recapping the other shows instead of advancing their own product, with no true sense of identity...

I think two shows is better, but the current setup doesn't give a lot of time to establish fueds, with so many PPVs, so little time (as little as 3 weeks between a PPV to get a feud up) and almost no carry over between each month.
