Not enough talent anymore for two brands

  Excuse me, but there are 40plus Superstars/Divas on the main roster. About 80 percent are active, some competing exclusively for SUPERSTARS & NXT.

    You’re excused. You are giving me numbers which is fine. You mine as well add Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler to boost your numbers. I’m talking quality main event caliber wrestlers. When you have to stretch and add Kahli as a 5 chamber opponent you really don’t have depth. When the brand split first occurred there was plenty of talent to go around

If WWE made all Smackdown programming's LIVE, wouldn't it be a better step for ratings. Maybe if WWE stopped treating smackdown as a lower brand for once, more people would watch it rather than going on WNW to read the results every Tuesday. Although I still encourage fans to go to WNW everyday regardless, the best WWE news website that exists! #kissingAss

  I see where you're coming from (And as a writer, I'll take some of that arse kissing!), I see two small flaws in your logic:
  1) Tuesday is an especially stiff night of TV competition. Smackdown would suffer mightily in the competition(Even though most of the shows absolutely suck, there are idiots out there that enjoy them).
  2) Not putting Smackdown live doesn't make it look like a lower brand. In fact, the programming looks cleaner than Raw's in that fewer botches make it to TV, not to mention that Syfy is a little less willing to negotiate overrun time with Smackdown than USA is with Raw. 90% of the time, the Raw time overrun is USELESS or is caused by useless filler.
