Brand Split!

**The One** · 01-06-2005, 07:15 PM

I just realised why I hate the roster split so god damn much! Aside from the fact that I get to see the guys I like half as much and the guys I don't like more then I would like...and aside from the fact that there is no actual heat between the two brands...but here is what I dislike about the extention so much...

There is nothing different about them! Back in the heydays there was ECW (Extreme/Risk Taking) there was WWF (Their spoken attitude/fun gimmicks) and there was WCW (Old School style/Fancy Clean Atmosphere)...they offered a different feeling. Each of them had a different style of filming, a different feel to the air, different emphasises...but SmackDown and Raw are the same.

With that in mind, the fact that they are both the same, it makes me go crazy with the roster split. All their doing is limiting the air time of certain stars to get them over. I am sorry this sounds cold and heartless, but I don't like to see Reigns, Heidenrich, Tomko, and about a dozen other OVW guys brought up to fill in empty spots on the roster due to both brands needing 50 wrestlers. And I can't understand why WWE continues to do this? Financially it can't make too much sense, they are shelling out dozen of contracts they dont need to be spending money on.

Again I know this is their livelyhoods, but maybe they can find another way to get that income in. Or they can wrestle indie shows for $200 a night...I dont know...I just want this to stop and I want to have one mother fucking company again! We are coming up on 3 years of this and it has yet to work out for anyone...maybe Paul London got a bit more air time...but look at it now, he is a mid-card wrestler for a weak company as oposed to being a jobber for a strong company (hell Funaki was a jobber of a strong company and now gets to be the Champion of a weak one)...erghhhh! I think after WrestleMania 21 they should end the extention, cut the dead weight (and believe me there is ALOT of it) and move forward to never look back on this again...

*Sits back and waits for the Neg Rep I am bound to get for my "heartless" comments about the wrestler's jobs*
