Should WWE End The Brand Extension?

Question

Before any idiot replies with a dumb comment, look at this business wiese and as a fan.

Answer 1

I agree that there should be no brand factions to begin with. The whole draft lottery and all was a good idea, but having three different world champions in a single brand is just bad sports. I can see where they can have a ECW type of wrestling, but they already did with the Hardcore division that was created and a title set for it. With the brands all turning into one single unit, it allows more for better shows to be developed, not just have one particular wrestler assigned to that show. It's gotten to where there is only diva action on Raw, whatever you want to consider crusierweight on smackdown and nothing really to ecw, just now there for show now they have lost Heyman and Big Show and soon to be RVD. Wrestling has been going down hill for a while, wrestlers getting over worked cause of over booking on shows. On nights they don't tape, there is two different house shows going on at the same time, It's good in terms of money, but to work the wrestlers like that, it will show, as it already has with Booker T, Undertaker, Mark Henry, Mr. Kennedy, the list goes on with injuries. You have repeat story lines in same brand shows. It is time they bring back the Undisputed title and tear down the barriers of brands.

Answer 2

No. Bussinesswise it would be horrible. I estimate that the WWE has currently over 50 wrestlers on their roster. Maybe 100. I'm not sure. But I do know that if they ended the brand extension that would mean that you wouldn't get to see as many wrestlers on a show. People like Jimmy Wang Yang and Gregory Helms, who in my opinion are very good wrestlers, would never see their faces on a show. WWE would go with the Cenas and the Edges and the Ortons. The younger newer wrestlers would never really have a chance to prove themselves. Do you think that if there was a brand extension that wrestlers like C.M. Punk would ever be on TV.? What about Elijah Burke? Without a brand extension there would be no way to showcase these wrestlers skills. The reason being that the USA network probably wouldn't give WWE more than two hours to air their show. If by some miracle of God they were able to get three hours, it still wouldn't be enough. However, I think there is a solution. I think that WWE should take the Intercontinental off of Raw and put it on SD. They should take wrestlers like Carlito, Nitro etc. and put them on SD. The cruiserweghts on SD should go to ECW with the Cruiserweight Title going there. Then they should bring back the Hardcore Championship for ECW and have some of the ECW and RAW and Smackdown cruiserweights on there. But first they would have to find a way to expand ECW to two hours, fire the ECW originals (except for Sabu and RVD) and find a new stage set. If they did all of that there would be no reason to end the brand extension. Also they should have tag team action mainly on SD. There are no realy good teams on Raw and the ones on ECW are embarassing. If they put the Tag teams on SD, there would be no reason to have 2 tag titles. There would only be one which would raise the respect value of the tag team division to new heights. That is why the shouldn't end the Brand Extension.

Answer 3

I agree with you. Ever since the brand extension, the quality of their product has gone down hill and WWE has lost some of their fan base. Unless Vince does something soon, I predict WWE will be out of business in a few years.

Answer 4

They should end the brand, ok now that that is out of my system I'll give you a REAL answer. YES. I see it as if they are trying to create a competition and making themselves look foolish. To be fair last I watched wrestling it was still WWF and I stopped watching when they bought WCW. They NEED a real competition and a REAL alternative. With that interest will return to wrestling. That was the thing with WCW. It was a different style of show then WWF. WWF seemed to be about sex and show, the WCW was more about good guy vs bad guy(and yeah it had it's eye candy).

Answer 5

Yes, and I think they're about to, or at least merge them a little more.

The PPVs have recently all been combined. And you now regularly have wrestlers showing up on one show or another as their storylines see fit. They really do need to end the brand extension (And they need to accept that ECW is the minor league show and treat it as such, with no World Title).

Answer 6

I hate the entire draft enlargement. It has performed not something yet water down the product. i in my opinion think of they'd desire to unify the titles and function in basic terms one international championship given that could convey returned their status and make the extreme card roster extra aggressive and thrilling. I don´t know precisely while the signs and indicators began to look, yet i'm hoping the present type keeps and the kind branch is dissolved.

Answer 7

personally i neer understood the concept of the brand extention. it couldnt have been for compition perposes as you cant compete with yourself. since TNA came WWE should end brand extention and bring all three brands together. keep the shows but let every one compete against one another. give ECW back the TV title and Hardcore title, unite all three world championships and tag championships. it will create more storylines

Answer 8

I totally agree with you..I hate having to remember the time schedules of wwe shows...sometimes a big event is coming up and you don't want to miss the show...I believe that they should just leave smackdown and raw..TNA is driving me nuts, and ECW is not ECW..now i can agree with Jerry Lawler it's Extremely Crappy Wrestling

Answer 9

You know, i think that is the best idea i ever heard about wrestling! Seriously, i think we or they should. I am tired of seeing people swap all the time and i am tired of the separations. It's getting annoying and old.

Answer 10

no. because there are so many wrestlers in the wwe and there isn't enough time for all of them to be on TV wrestling.
