You've lost me KK. You think anything anyone says/does is retarded though, so I'll just laugh that comment off.

How long ago did the roster split happen? And it's just now affecting the ratings? I doubt it. The shitty product is a much more realistic explanation. Combining the rosters isn't going to accomplish anything more than mucking things up even further. More talent will get buried if Cena, Umaga, DX, etc. appear on both shows, which they inevitably will.

3 years, and its been a problem since after the first year i would say. They've lost around a million viewers during that time, so its obviously not working anymore.Your point about wrestlers getting buried ridiculous though, wrestlers get buried regardless of whether there's a roster split or not. Plus it would force them to work a lot harder than they're now, and now there's ECW, anyone important who gets lost in the shuffle could be sent there. |

Who will get buried that shouldn't be? Realistically speaking. If we are going to talk about people getting buried, we should use KK's opinion in that that, historically, wrestlers getting buried have been in wrestling for years.

It's not so much who they have on the roster now (because a lot of them do need to be buried), but the time that they will allow themselves to build completely new stars. If the old faces are busy trying to make waves on Mondays and Fridays, that leaves a lot less time for the undercard to grow and improve. I see it causing the WWE to stagnate even further, which is the last thing that they need.

As much as i hate good talent being buried and 'old' faces being on the screen, you have maintain a level of "We are the best company" quality. If that means that you have to have familiar faces mainstreaming for a while, then so be it. I do not want to see Triple H burying a GOOD contender for the main event status, but i do believe that the dead weight will be obviously displayed. I know right now, Triple H is probably telling Vince "see what happens when the title is off of me", but even he can't boost the ratings by himself.
I just think that ending the roster split will make people "get on the grind" and try their best to be on the show. One thing that the WWE needs to do better in the future if they do end the roster split is to LISTEN TO THE FANS' REACTION(S). If Cena is getting booed, time to make him a heel. However, if a heel is getting cheers DOES NOT mean that you have to turn him. For every legit heel, there has to be a legit face. |

It's worth noting that WWE has botched Orton. They've botched Cena. They've botched potentially the biggest things in pro wrestling this time. They've had some potentially large stars that have basically fallen to the flaws of the WWE machine. To say that the problem is with a divided roster is to basically ignore the fact that they cannot handle their talent, and have squandered the talent that they have to work with. The lackluster rosters are due to that, not to some far-fetched ideal.
The same is true with ECW. What did they start to do when the ratings weren't up to par? Yup. They emphasised the part of the program that was shittiest. Occam's Razor. |

I'm sure they could fit them all into a 2 hour show, and send the rest who get left out to ecw, especially when they will have both raw and smackdown to use them on, ending the roster split will mean less squash matches, that's for sure. I just think you're just exaggerating to make your point seem logical tbh. It worked back in the day, so why can't it work now? Think about it for a bit.

I could be wrong on this one and am far too lazy to research the numbers, but I'm fairly sure that WWE employs more in-ring talent now than they did in the past. So obviously somebody's going to have to lose TV time if the rosters are combined. And shoving them onto ECW won't do much good. They've already got more people on that roster than they utilize.

No, seriously, for the most part you're right. Compared the the amount of programming, this is more talent than they would otherwise employ. Once people are on both shows again, the TV time is reduced, and the need for wrestlers is reduced. People will lose TV time, and it'll be to an extra DX segment, an extra Undertaker or Batista segment, or an extra Cena/Choomaga segment. It's totally naïve to think otherwise. |

OMG this is such a stupid arguement. Anyone who's been a wrestling fan for 10 years or more, can see that things in wwe are more terrible than they've ever been.

Again, I'm not criticising you because I disagree with you.
I am criticising you because of the actual content of your argument. And because you seem to dense to comprehend the difference. I know it's easy to cwy about the big bad kk, and shed widdle teaws, but honestly, you then have to ignore anyone I disagree with without condemning. And yes, I know you will play the "but there's nobody on that list" card. ...Why? Because it's easier for you to be full of shit than to actually come up with a reasonable argument. |

It's been on a downward spiral for years now, and it's most likely not going to get any better in the long haul. Why am I so negative about it? Because I've watched it for years, and it's never been looking as bad as it does right now. Unless something drastically changes (No, I don't count hiring more talentless bimbos as a drastic change OR something good for the product), then it will continue to slowly snuff out. And I don't see anything that will cause WWE to take a turn for the better coming for a long time...if even at all. |

Or just take him head on, and don't take what he says personally. I've lost a few arguments with him since joining up here, and been called a few choice names. But who gives a fuck? We've agreed on a few other things, and it all evens out.
But, oh yeah, fuck KK.

Oh, yeah, I know, I've agreed with KK on many occasions, too. But to be called a fucking retard out of nowhere is something I'd expect from a noob, not him.

![]() But seriously, what most people seem to be intelligent enough to get is that this is not a serious word for me. In fact, my use of it on this board directly ties to sledge's little blowup in 5 forums at once. You're "special," so I'll explain this for you. Most people get it, after they see me bust out "retard" in one thread, and then go back to normal discussion, even with the same person. Hmmm...It's almost like... Nah. Obviously, I'm just snapping at people. There's no other explanation. In your case, you're a hypocrite. There's a pretty good chance you're just not smart enough to see why, and that's why you seem to be whining about me. I ignored your remarks towards me for a long time, and only really started saying anything back after you had the balls to whine about me like a hypocrite. In your case, if you want, I can mean it when I call you "retarded." Will it make you feel better? Very well then. I'll help you nail yourself to a cross like the fucking martyr you are. |

LOL, yeah, KK, it's not the use of the word "retard" that bothers me. But of course if you had an ounce of intelligence in that worthless little brain of yours, you would've figured that out by now. (See what I did there? I pulled a KK!)
It's not the word that bothers me, it's the fact that you feel the need to resort to name-calling to get your point across. Quite sad, really. |

Hah, Kane Knight, seriously, you're ridiculous. I'm not going to back it up with soe long, contrived argument filled with name-calling and pedantic whining. Take it as it is: You're ridiculous.
