The Rollin remix was the better of them two.
Vince should've had a record label and snatched up Limp Bizkit, that was truly their favourite band. Vince probably looks at Fred like, wtf now.

I guess I just disagree with that as a core thought process. WWE's roster makeup as a whole and who gets pushed up and down the card is a lot different than it was even five years ago when the brand split last existed. Yes, Vince holds on hard to his "top guy" image, but there have definitely been changes in who can be "a" guy.
The brand split is the most exciting thing they have done in a long time for me.
More talent gets an opportunity to perform on tv (no more Ryder tweeting from an Outback during a show). There is less chance of injury due to the decreased workload for those who were working both shows. Most importantly, if they want 2 truly distict products, one can be wrestling focussed and the other can be the variety show that Vince seems to prefer.
Split PPVs aren't even an issue for me, if they happen. Either they add some network specials, or they put each show on a bi-monthly PPV schedule which gives stories time to grow.

Remember around WM when reports were that new marketing graphics were made for Raw and Smackdown?
Our potential future? (Minus those who are no longer with the company, of course)

Give Cena (or Roman), Rollins, AJ and the 4 IC contenders to smackdown and it's over. Won't have to watch RAW again for a long time.
Throw in sasha and bailey and Samoa Joe and Nakamura too and fuuuuuu
This is all super wishful thinking tho ain't it

They've used those graphics on the website since about December. Doubt they've had the split planned for that long.

Smackdown when Heyman was booking it was so good that it would beat Raw in the ratings.

The law of alliteration demands it.
I think he's talking about when it was originally launched.

Wow that's cool. I never knew all of that was under a label. It was founded in 85.
Precisely what I was thinking.
Yeah

Everyone jobbing to Cena on RAW and to Godking at Smackdown, with unification match down the lane? I could see it.
Yup

1) this was last yr
2) women are same roster and not with tag
3) Roman Always Wins
It was WM 19, in 2003.
Limp Bizkit were already well past their peak by then.

Eden's contract was up in 2 months so they pushed it up for her. She will now be making Monro blogging so everything is good.
I really like Harper in the Wyatts, but I don't think they use him to his full potential.
Plus he would be the best candidate to set off an internal Wyatt Family feud.

Congrats, Bryan fans
My first thought. I'd be surprised though if he was game to come back this soon in a non-wrestling capacity.
I need the gif of Kurt Angle ascending from below in his wheelchair

Good news. Bodes well for the brand if they separate it from the McMahon drama, at least partially.
Limp Bizkit is forever trash and that Austin/Rock "My Way" video package thing you guys are always circle-jerking all over is forever trash as well due to this.
Haha. See?
Take that back.

I'd imagine that if Triple H was running a brand separate from Stephanie, he'd be a babyface, which has worked wonders in NXT in the past (even though he isn't technically GM).

Actually one of the thoughts I had. Would help promote his Network show.
It's like Crunchyroll but for ducks
