"Haven't watched in a while" = redundant opinion.

I have attempted to watch wrestling several times now. Each time, Cena shows up and I switch the channel.

Perhaps Ill try again soon.

Cena has been tolerable lately as long as he doesn't go into the "poopy" jokes.

Highly doubt the brand split is going to end I think this is just a test too see how the ratings do and unless they go up significantly enough it ainčt happening cuz having 2 shows touring creates more revenue for them.

One thing I figured is that WWE used to run SD house shows on Mondays, but obviously they either will have to stop that or run them with limited talent which would decrease interest a ton.

From what I understand, SmackDown guys will be on RAW while RAW will remain solely on RAW, so the guys in trouble are those like Drew McIntyre and Primo, but I don’t think it’s the end. It means we’ll see more talent drift over to RAW to compete every so often, but I don’t think it means CM Punk and John Cena are going to be on SmackDown, for example.

I don’t think it’s the end of the brand split for 2 reasons:

1. The commentary kept referring to people from shows: Jack Swagger from RAW, Sheamus from SmackDown, etc.

2. Triple-H said foreseeable future. These super shows will end at some point. This will go on for a month or two.

I don’t think it’s as long term as people think it is. This is more of a gimmick for some ratings that the show desperately needs (ex: guest host).

Yet you're an advocate for ending the split? You realise that would mean Cena on EVERY broadcast, right?

I think Theodore R Long gets the boot tonight. Either HHH puts Steph in charge or he just runs everything.

I actually like the brand split because of how many more wrestlers benefited from the split and even when Raw was just about Triple H in the beginning or Cena now, Smackdown had something different for their main events or focus.

Most likely this is just for the short term either because the Fall sweeps are coming soon or to at least keep people from just ignoring the show once Monday Night Football returns.

My $.02:

The "Raw Super Show" will continue through the NFL season, then will end. WWE knows they lose viewers during MNF and are trying this to hold on to as many as possible.


EDIT: Grrr... Had to deal with customers and didn't hit the submit post button in time.

I'm speechless that so many people miss the marketing here.
The stated reason for this is that there is little interest in the Smackdown brand.
To counter that, you mix both brands for a while to garner further interest.
When this is perceived as having been achieved, you ratchet up the split again, so that people who have been hooked on certain wrestlers have no choice but to watch Smackdown to see them.
Why is this so hard to understand?
