IYO: The WWE roster is losing depth

The whole brand expansion thing was really great when it started back in 2002 when Raw and Smackdown both had appropriate, adequate and amazing talents such that they kept them exclusive and even had brand exclusive pay per views. It's not possible to have a brand exclusive ppv with the amount of talent depth on the respective brands.

The brands have lost their identities now. You might argue about the ropes, lighting and the fact that Smackdown is more of a wrestling tv show but since the third draft took place, things have gone horrible. There was a time when you thought of Smackdown, you would think about Brock Lesnar, Angle, Taker, Cena and all. It's not the same now. They have over done the whole draft thing.

Plus bringing guys like Jack Swagger and Evan Bourne to Raw was one of the most premature moves I can remember. Feel free to post in your thoughts, thank you.
