Re: Brand Split 2.0

Nice job. I like it. Those drafts over the final years of he first split were pretty lackluster.

Re: Brand Split 2.0

The stylistic differences between the shows will be minimal, because WWE's own "rules" limit what they do. Bring back Shotgun Saturday night, with a TV-MA rating lol.

Re: Brand Split 2.0

Decided to try out WWEs fantasy draft thing

http://fantasy-draft.wwe.com/#/shared/ab4d2f6c124fc6facb9979330a61d60f

I wonder if the WWE.com fantasy draft is an indication of who might be drafted, when. The order they got set up begins with Cena,AJ,Rollins,Ambrose,Reigns. Taker,Lesnar,Eva,Rosa are draft eligible, but some like Rock,HHH,Kidd aren't.

Eh? Rules? Who the hell follows self imposed rules.

In other words: explain please?

I'm pretty excited for this.

Re: Brand Split 2.0

It would be nice if smackdown got away from the pg rating. Or raw did. I think they will do it a lot better than last time. Definitely will not have anyone appearing on both shows I don't think.

I think PG is just fine.

Re: Brand Split 2.0

Really do hope set wise,things change. Raw,SD,PPV literally use same set,just diff graphics/lighting. Doesn't make anything look different. At times felt like one big show divided up into 3 days.

Raw needs the red ropes and black ringposts, SD the blue ropes and white ringposts, and ppvs should be black ropes or something. Small thing, but little things like that help distinguish brands alot.

Hopefully each show does feel like a diff brand. Past few years, SD was just "Raw recap", Dudleys at one point literally word for word had same in ring promo on both shows. In dying days of old extension, SD was basically "Raw jr/B show", featuring big show,sheamus,del Rio main events.

Really was a far cry from the Smackdown Six days. Here's hoping we get a new era like that and Smackdown isn't simply used as a pillaging ground for Raw again.

Re: Brand Split 2.0

Is this the first time Smackdown has been live? As long as it's live I don't think it will be treated like the B show

PG can be fine, but a formulaic, sanitized product is not. We at least need the illusion of spontaneity every once in a while. Little things like the "guy gets thrown out of the ring cue for commercial" spots need to go.

Re: Brand Split 2.0

I just hope that if the ratings start going down on one show we don't suddenly start seeing people from the other brand just to boost the rating. I'm dead against having a commissioner and a GM on each show. That's more lines that get written when their is to much talking in the first place.

Well, if Raw ratings go down, all bets are off. They'll hit the panic button and all this competitive rhetoric will go out the window.
