It's been 3 months since the draft split, has it been a success or failure?

[2CT]

i see some people talking about they should've never did it but i've enjoyed it so far

the TSC turf wars are entertaining too TSC always makes shyt fun

Backlash and No Mercy were both dope, Blash of Bhampions was good

Shane and DB are good in their roles, Mick is cool on screen, Steph has been vastly oversaturated

what y'all think?

Success for SD Set

Well, they got me watching Smackdown regularly again which I haven't done in years, so, it's a success on that side

 

[R=G]

Smackdown has been good and Sasha, Rusev, Lana, Jericho, Owens, Cesaro, and Charlotte have been good on Raw.

Did I hurt your feelings? Don't c mad at me because you spend 3 hrs every Monday watching that wacc azz show

 

[Golayitdown]

It's an overall wash to me since the positives and negatives cancel each other out. Raw hasn't changed much at all (Jericho has been a consistent high spot and New Day/Owens/Rusev are always good). Smackdown is much better since going live and is always at least decent since more guys are getting a real look.

I must say that it's awesome that the whole main roster isn't subject to sharing screen time with Stephanie though

 

[Silkk]

Smackdown been fire

Dont need to waste 3 hours on Raw no more

As a supporter of #SDSET, I have enjoyed nearly everything about the show and the booking has been great. It's hard to argue that. People are INVESTED in characters like Miz and Ziggler for the first time in a long time. The women's division, every female has a character and motivations. Slater has resurrected his career. :styles: has been THE main event in all of WWE. He has reached new heights for his career. CoDean is cutting the best promos of his WWE career. the heel turn for the Usos has revived their career.

So I would say yeah, from an entertainment standpoint and a booking standpoint, SDL has been a success. They are trying new things and they are letting people get into their characters.

But all that said, I will admit that SDL is also graded on a curve. It's doing well FOR Tuesdays. The ratings are good FOR Tuesday night and the 18-49 demographic number is good.

But obviously it's not going to be viewed the same because it isn't Monday and I acknowledge that.

RAW hasn't hit its stride. Balor injury was an issue. But look at the feuds right now. Nobody is in a better place now than prior to the draft outside of Owens/Jericho. The women are doing well but it's being driven into the ground. The cruisers are only getting 2 minute matches and very little in character development. The tag division is a bit stagnant. Rollins is stagnant. Steph and Mick all over the shows. Nobody wants to see them. Reigns is still floundering as well. So far I'd say:

SDL - A (but graded on a curve, not an A+ because of Bray/Orton/Kane shyt)

RAW - C-
