I don't even think the WWE cares about the injuries on Smackdown. In the beginning of the brand split, it seemed like they were gonna both be equally strong brands. Then in the past year or two, its more than obvious that Smackdown is suppose to be the inferior label. They always made hints about it in the past, but now it's basically fact. That's why Vince used to make appearences on both Raw and Smackdown and now he's exclusively a Raw peformer.

So Raw is for the big leagues (all of his favorites are on this brand, including himself), Smackdown are the minor leagues (younger talent and a few oldies like Taker. Seems more directed towards minorities), and ECW is even a league before that. I guess that's cool and all, but it would be much more exciting if the WWE gave each brand equality. It would make for a little more competition.

Yall dont' get the full vibe of what's going on though... Vince isn't just going to join the labels back on a whim, he's got so much shit going on... he's got twice as many production crew as he needs, twice as many wrestlers as he needs, he's got 3 different networks PAYING HIM for his television shows... he's got 3 times as many advertisers as he'd have if he only had 1 show, he does 3 times as many house shows with the paying public buying tickets and giving him money than he would if he had 1 show, he sells three times the t-shirts and shit, he has three times the pay per view shows that he gets paid for...

If he collapsed it all back into 1 brand, it wouldn't just double up and stack on top of itself, he'd likely still have houseshows not to full capacity, he'd stilll not sell as many t-shirts, etc. 

They may be spread thin, but not thin enough that they'd make more money as 1 brand. 

This is *BIG* business; Vince McMahon is a Billionaire.  You, and I, have no idea what's involved with his company, he does, and his billion dollars says he knows what the fuck he's doing better than we do.

Chaos backstage at RAW, Stephanie McMahon goes into labor
Monday, July 24, 2006 at 2:02 PM EST

In a piece of breaking news, word has been received that Stephanie McMahon, who was backstage at the venue for tonight's RAW, has gone into labor.

Tonight's show therefore will need re-writing to some degree as Vince McMahon and Stephanie's husband Triple H are going back to Connecticut to be with her.

Trauma-san:
Good for her, I hope everything goes well with that.
