Rumor: WWE Reportedly Going Back To Dual-Branded PPVs

[YakSpiller]

shyt ain't worth the time like that outside the big 4. That's kind of why I bushed the network.

 

[Bubba T]

They have like their biggest roster ever. Just build up more people

 

[Potential Spam]

Abolish this useless entrance ramp for the non-big 4 events and bring back the In Your House set and name, that way you aren't locked into such shytty names for the other events and change it as you go, and do away with the forced gimmick PPVs.

Smaller stage means more available seats and more profit. Current set is an eyesore, probably eats up electricity, and it doesn't even show the matches anymore, so it is unnecessary. Use some of that new money for pyro.

History repeats itself. They eventually couldn’t sustain the brand split the first go round. I’m not surprised that they couldn’t sustain it this time, in even shorter fashion.

Fukk up thing is Vince didn’t even want to do a brand spilt USA was pressuring them with Smackdown finally being live to do something to shake up the show and instead of better booking/creativity he just settled on doing the brand spilt again.

History repeating itself and we are going to witness it twice when the XFL fails again

One PPV per month is the answer, but doing co-branded shows ain't it. Just do one show per month, and the brands alternate which one has a show that month. Keeps PPV matchups from being repetitive, and allows for each show to build to a big Raw/Smackdown on their off PPV months to pop a big rating from time to time if that's what they care about. Makes the PPV matchups seem more special since you get more than three weeks to build to them, and makes the big four shows seem even more special. Really not sure how this hasn't been an idea that has leaked as being seriously considered.

This won't fix the main issues. Star building and good booking.

 

[CBoz]

Or you just have another shake-up. Now less people will get chances.

 

[InstantKlassik]

We all knew this day was coming

 

[Yayo Toure]

It's their fault for not creating new stars.

Brock barely appears on RAW to promote any matches, when he does wrestle all he does is German suplex 12 times, F5 pin. Meanwhile there are a dozen guys on the cusp of stardom who they continually sabotage with shytty booking.

 

[FromStLouis]

The problem is they tried to make RAW and SD the same show, and so they split divisions in half and now none have any depth. The wrong brand split.

If they took a chance, they could have two different shows each with their own appeal.

One of the appealing things about having a network was that they'd now be able to support a brand split instead of pushing two 50 dollar ppvs a month.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

It's still going to be "repeat matches" because it's going to be the same guys getting the PPV slots

 

[DamienWayne]

Put Roman or Braun on smackdown problem solved

 

[FromStLouis]

Jason Jordan left a tag team on SD only to come to RAW and become part of yet another tag team. Why? Because people have it in their heads that Smackdown and RAW should be 'equal' or 'balanced'.

Jason could have gone to RAW worked his way up the card if there were actually more than two singles titles on the show, one of which we only see every 2 months.

Is he a singles wrestler or a tag team wrestler? Sheamus had a great match tonight but is he in a tag team or a singles wrestler?

It's the wrong brand split. It's directionless. You're just spinning your wheels, when you have two mirror shows. Is Cena on RAW or SD? Oh he's a free agent? WTF?

a hard brand split, a unique brand split, makes it a lot harder to do confusing shyt like that. It makes it a lot harder for Vince to raid SD for talent on a whim.
