At the time of the 2016 brand split, I hadn't watched SmackDown until sometime in late 2012 and Raw was little more than background noise for me.

When the split happened, I decided to give it a chance and I honestly loved both shows out of the gate. Unique presentation for both shows, distinct writing crews, wrestlers who barely got airtime now had more time to be featured, and most importantly - stories felt more cohesive than they had in a long time.

I'd gone from watching barely any programming a week to watching 5 hours, and I didn't mind because I actually enjoyed it.

Raw gradually got worse again by the end of the year/early 2017, and SmackDown took a hit with the Orton/Wyatt nonsense and Jinder becoming champ. But there were still enough positives that made me want to keep tuning in.

Now there's just......nothing. Both shows feel the same and none of it interests me.
