Do you think they should retry the brand wars make the WWE champion appear on all shows, make IC-Raw US-smackdown Nxt-nxt make 1 tag belt set for each then bring the woman's belt back for raw make diva exclusive for stackdown. That way you utilize your talent and create stars that can rise on one of the three brands, then you have a potential 6 guys that are believable in the main event scene.

The brand split would be back in effect if it were up to me. Except this time, don't let Smackdown become the B-show, keep it on par with Raw. Each show has their own heavyweight champ, mid-card champ, tag champ, and womens champ.

It honestly seems like a good idea, and I'd be all for it. But I don't like the idea of one champion, but the titles just got unified two years ago. This could put the spotlight on more than just a few people, and help build stars on Smackdown and RAW.

I agree with you both, jeremiah and Scott Hall. It should, could, and would work out very well, especially today. It would also give guys who would never get a shot at the WWE Championship Title or the World Championship Title a trail run. Look at how difficult it is to crown a new / first time WWE World Champion. If there were 2 top Championships, they could keep the World Championship on Raw on an established, multi-time Championship Veteran, and then play hot potato with the World Championship on Smackdown with fresh, up and coming SuperStars. Yes, I realize they could do this with the Intercontinental and United States Championship Titles, but they don’t. Besides, it would have a better effect using the Big Gold instead of the Big White or the Big Flag.

God no. The roster is paper thin as it is. I thought the whole two world champion thing was very stupid. How can one company have two world champions?!

Please not this again. A brand split would destroy the company. How are you suppose to split a weak roster between 2 shows and fill a 3 hour Raw with half it's stars gone?
Also when the original brand split started the roster was huge but as the years went it got smaller and Smackdown started to get treated like crap and then they just pulled the plug which was the right thing to do.
WWE has its problems but a brand split is not the answer infact it would be the self destruct button.

Not if the company was split in two with warring brands competing to be better than the other... |

You drop raw to only 2 hours or you actually have time to put on great matches. 1 world champion 1 brand belt for all three, plus tag yes the roster would be thinned out but my god I would rather see a long one on one match then a quick spot fest 8 man tag.
You can't build stars when your rushed it takes time and since the IC and us don't matter why not make them matter and really make the world belt mean something again.

I really miss the brand split.  It was fun back when Raw and SD were both two hours long, and when they had their three hour shows every once in a while, they each felt special because you had both Raw and SD wrestlers on at the same time. I also loved when they had those Draft episodes and see certain people go to different brands to spice things up a bit. But unfortunately I don't see it being like that again, at least not anytime soon. |

I believe a lot of midcarders would benefit if WWE made another brand split. I'm for it if it ever happens.

You get about 20-25 guys on each roster. 10 each for royal rumble
Seperate brands except for the big four
3 brand type champs 1 female each show
1 tag each show smaller roster more ability to create place your part timers for wm or to help bud a new star ie Jericho
Place one top guy each brand
Cena-raw orton-smackdown Finn balor-nxt
Kane mark Henry and big show on to help make new stars
Give superstars the axe and make NXT the third brand and just don't only focus on raw
Don't just bunch up a bunch of guys and give them a stupid name Wyatt's work but the new four horsemen formula is outdated and played out. They want to focus on personality and athletic I dividuals then give the fans that.

The roster split ended because they didn't have enough stars by 2011-2012 to sustain it. The situation has not improved.
Roster split is an awful idea at this point and would only serve one purpose -- instead of the weekly "do a roster split" thread we would have a weekly "end the roster split" thread. Like we used to when there was a roster split before.

What I don't understand is that people complain about how bad and boring Raw is each and every week and yet they want to take half the roster away just for nostalgic purposes. 3 hour Raw's will not end because WWE makes too much money from the 3rd hour so that alone screws the chances of a brandsplit. Also the brand split will be remembered just like the Attitude Era, etc but it belongs in the past the WWE needs to move on not go back. |

A brand split would indeed work all it takes is longer matches and better storylines. The only reason the brand split ended was because WWE made Raw 3 hours long and they needed more stars on the show, thus ending the brand split. If you look back at 2002-2004 Smackdown or Raw episodes on the WWE Network you'll see how much enjoyable it was back then. I've always wanted to see Triple H go at it against Brock Lesnar in 2003 and 2004.

I'm not goingif f the current product I only watch the ppv's but look at NXT smaller roster more match time better character development. And since the writers only can handle 2-3 guys each it seems a small roster would help otherwise its just reigns cena being fed everyone and then random 4 guy factions and 50/50 ratio bookings which does nothing. Remember when WWF would showcase their talents squashing jobbers and saving fueds matches for ppv's not have 2 guys trade victory's week after week then end it at a ppv with not much of a point.
