Smackdown was exacally what I expected it to be. Filler.

 

[N.S.N.O.]

Wrestlemania:
Way too long again, 4 hours is more than enough...

Even with the botched finish (which spoiled it for me) that was a really cheap way to book the end of the Main event..
Becky's hair looked like 1980's Cindy Lauper..

HHH vs Bautista was weird....and long!..

And if HHH wasn't actually retiring, than that should have been the Stipulation for the Angle Corbin match instead..

Seth vs Lesnar was different, liked it...

Kofi vs Bryan delivered... Good spot on the card too while the crowd was still awake..

The Charlotte helicopter entrance was cool..


RAW main event:
Would have worked had it been Undisputed era running in instead of the Bar... or Bray Wyatt and Lars Sullivan

Now Raw and Smackdown were a bit crap.

But i have to say understandably so.

They’ve called up a lot of NXT people recently so there weren’t any really possible this time. All free agents in wrestling are getting signed up early. And there simply aren’t a lot of returns that could have happened.

The booking was horrific like but I saw the two as fillers really before next weeks shake up.

Not that brand split really means anything these days anyway.

Hardy boyz won the tag titles though it’s like 99 all over again

The big problem is that they've killed off the entire mid card by making them look like chumps, so no one at that level can be elevated up the card

You can move Dolph Ziggler to Smackdown and Owens back to Raw, but it's not like either of them will spike any interest in the show they end up on

The recent NXT call ups are all just regular roster members as well, none of them come across as special because they haven't been treated as such

They also drop things with no explanation either, like when they teased that Nikki Cross was going to ruin Alexa's hosting at Mania somehow, even to the point that Bliss called her out on social media, and then never mentioned it again

Having Cross scampering out like a mentalist to ruin Bliss' grandstanding would have at least led to a new feud and given Nikki a bit of exposure. But then again Bliss is the Triple H of the women's division, in that she is hardly ever booked to look weak and almost always wins, despite being pint sized and having no real discernible ability in the ring other than being attractive and blond

None of that will happen sadly.

Wwe only deal in moments these days. Not build.

And I think Ziggler is having loads of time off anyway!

Where they’ve mainly messed up is by having people swap brands all the time even though there’s meant to be a brand split.

 

[Gwladysstreetlad]

For the brand split to really work WWE need to keep their brands totally separate for at least a couple of years. The only time storyline wise that they should ever be together is at big four PPV's. No drafts or shake ups during that time, devide the "big stars" 50/50 and honestly start to build up the lower card and mid card. I doubt they'll do any I'd this and we'll continue with the same old mess we've been getting for years.

They tried to do it then realised they messed it up and had too many good women on smack down and too many tag teams on smack down

They will never stick to a brand split

I'm not arguing that it'll work, mearly that it can if done properly. WWE seem unwilling to let the brand thing die so if they have to really commit if they want to make it work. They simply have to unify the men tag titles, make it an exclusive to one brand and actually treat them as a prestigious championship with actual storylines. Put the cruiserweight championship on the other to balance it out. Have the woman's championship on one show and the woman's tag titles on the other. Make the brands diffent and distinctive. It worked quite well from 2002-05, no reason that it can't at least be that good again if done properly and planed well (that's the part that'll never happen). They need separate writing teams too.

Holla holla!

 

[N.S.N.O.]

They should just do away with the brand split, no one buys into anyways, and the scope for fresh feuds get smaller every year...
They should be able to book talent in a way that they only need to be at 1 tv show each week....

There's not enough women for 2 shows (2 World titles), barely enough for a decent tag division...

The Raw mens tag division is tiny, so just join it with the smackdown one and have 1 tag title belt..

Titles should be:
Mens:
WWE Title
Universal Title
Intercontinental Title
WWE World Tag team

Womens:
WWE womens Title
WWE Tag team Titles
