The next time you "learn" me on something will be the first.

Once again, keep that smack talk in your stupid flame thread.
If you can't see a company providing new content as a lure for subscribers as smart business practices, that's on you....If you think they should lose money because you can't keep up, that's also on you.

Gotta say I agree with Deezy...

Wasn't too long ago that I thought I had to watch every PPV just cause it was on. But this past fall, I said fuck it. Missed the CWC, Summerslam, Night of Champions, Hell in A Cell and most of Survivor Series.

Having the content is good for the fans but we're not obligated to watch it

I've only watched SmackDown and dual-brand PPVs since the start of the brand split.

I think both shows are doing better. Even though Smackdown is slightly better than Raw both shows have improved a bunch.

It's pretty rocky now, but WWE is also like trying to figure out what works, and while i get concerned for the amount of shows/talent. Im starting to think WWE doesn't think fans are going to watch all that stuff and is instead creating content for each individual market. So much so that i would not be surprised if WWE launched a women's only program in the next 5 years

They're already gearing up for a Women's only tournament this summer.

You're only gonna have to wait a few months for that

I think the brand split is a good idea. It has brought out new stars that we would've never really been exposed to before. I think that they are trying the hardest they can to have certain titles be equal, (For instance: WWE=Universal) but I just can't help but think that the Universal title kind of is starting to feel like a midcard title.
Also with the brand split, comes new commentators. And they're too many of them. It'd be fine if all the commentators had the same energy, and were all good at their job, but they don't and they aren't.
The brand split might end up like the CWC, it'll be bad for a while, but it'll start being great again.
