I know its been done, repeatedly probably, but I thought i'd bring it back up, say a few things, and hear some ideas.

The worse that Smackdown gets, the more evident it is that the Brands must fuse once more. Things have reached a point where there is no longer equalibrium between the two shows, and i blame that in a big way on Benoit going to RAW. When he declared that the RAW heavyweight Championship was more important than the Smackdown championship, he was pretty much saying that RAW was better than Smackdown.

An argument that i've been hearing alot is "there are way to many people now for the brands to come back together!!" I can think of 3 solutions.

The first is layoffs. Pure and Simple. To much talent + bad ratings = time for layoffs. And not the layoffs we WANT, like Big Show and A-Train. People like Paul London and Tajiri would be getting fired out the shitter.

The second is combine the shows and deal with it. Hey, ya did it during the Invasion angle. Hell, so many people were working for the company that if you were lower card you might get lucky with a match a month.Come on now.

And the 3rd is kinda my favorite, but doesnt really concur with the attention span of the average person- Bring in the 3-hour RAW! 3 Hours = more time = more talent to show! TV time for everyone! And no more Striperella! Sweeet.

I hate to bring this thread up again, but right now its my only big solution to the Smackdown crisis.

The GM's would have to share power, and if you ever wanted good guy Angle again, Olympic Slam + Eric Bischoff = immediate face turn! So many possibilitys....well ill finish it up. Post your ideas people.
