I think that they need to merge the brands once and for all. When they split, it made sense since the WCW wrestlers coming in made it hard to push everyone that needed to be pushed, but now the brands are really thin with Raw having all the stars and Smackdown and ECW looking like mid-carders. (actually ECW reminds me of Heat)
If you merge the brands, you have one world title, the US and IC titles become more important, and the woman's and CW title will also be defended more, as there would be deeper rosters for both instead of the CW's moving from brand to brand and the women like Victoria moving away from the title for a while.
CoreG37:
I think they would run into the same problem if they ended the brand split and we would have to see the same people on every show and the people that needed to wouldn't be pushed and we would get three shows of the big names like john cena and triple h

That's what we get now... at least in a merge you add Undertaker, Batista and Edge to the mix... but my main thing is a merge would make the mid-card so much better. MVP vs Jeff Hardy, CM Punk vs JBL in a generational war, you have Morrison/Miz vs Rhodes/Holly, god someone please do something with Shelton, another feud with Carlito at least.
The current system is dying out, I say use Raw as the money show, and let Smackdown be mid-card heaven with a title defense that's not on Raw, like on Raw all the stories build up, and then have a US title or IC title defense on Smackdown, and get rid of ECW.
CoreG37:
I totally agree with you about getting rid of ECW. While I do think the midcard would be better without the brand extension I don't think deserving people would get deserved pushes.
On another note, I never liked Hardcore Holly. I think he really is jealous that he's been there for so long and never done much
Sikotic™:
The brand extensions isn't really a brand extension anymore anyways. Raw wrestlers are on Smackdown. Smackdown wrestlers are on Raw. ECW and Smackdown are essentially the same brand. They all share PPV's. At least when the brand extension first began, it was a big deal when a Raw wrestler wrestled a Smackdown wreslter (like HBK and Kurt Angle at Wrestlemania 21 or 22?).
