Please NO to dividing the shows. Product didn't get like 100% better when they re-joined the brands (for the most part) but it did get better/less stupid.

I would have placed Xavier on that list a couple months ago but the WWE put him in a gold mine with Kofi and Big E.

I know I listed guys like Slater/Ryback and Ryback hasn't fizzled by any means and something has to be said for Slater doing his One Man Band shtick then the Three Man Band then the Legend Fighter now the Social Outcast thing. Dude's like a fucking cockroach... just won't go away.

The New Day is the perfect example of how to take 3 guys going nowhere and repackage them into a unified faction. Wyatt family is like that too. Rowan wouldn't have a job otherwise, but he gets to be a big bearded disciple in a unified faction. Things like jobbers wearing shirts and league of nations are just haphazard and "we don't know what to do with all these guys" factions.

Smackdown is already 1/2 Raw clips. The roster is really big and it's wasted space when they could be doing a lot with it and trying different things (Just rip off all of Lucha Underground's cool ideas) and fostering a rivalry with Raw.

I hate to admit it but I like how Lucha handles their roster that is pretty sizable but is mostly made up of Morrison, that Muertes dude, Fenix, Puma, the hunter guy, and a couple others but they still manage to make most of the matches feel important somehow.

So, I'm trying to think of NXT guys that got called up that completely fizzled.

-Fandango
-Bo Dallas
-Adam Rose (wish they let him keep his NXT character)
-Tyler Breeze

Like, seriously, when was Fandango last on TV and has Bo/Breeze done anything other than, well, job the last couple months (for Breeze basically since he debuted?)

I'm not including guys like Ryback, Barrett, Slater and them cause they were from the "Reality show" version of the product.

I wasn't big on any of them. Bo Dallas really should be put with his brother though, would do him a lot of good.

Adam Rose needs to go back to that Kruger character.

Make Breeze and Ziggler a tag team, package them as an updated version of The Rockers. WWE needs tag teams, no harm.

Fandango can't be saved.
 
Emma was a NXT call up that got sent back down only to rise again better.

Ziggler Rose Breeze and Fandango as the New Gay.
 
Fandango should be asking to go back to NXT as Curtis.
 
Cesaro lose some mass?
 
I'd like to remind you all that Sexy predicted Ryder would lose the belt to Miz (but on SD) and I predicted next night RAW plus Cesaros return on RAW (except it was Miz who he lost to).

That's not creative control, it's creative input and some degree of latitude.

Vince wants them to bitch, they ask how hard. Hogan would give Bischoff the finger :)
 
Man that Charlotte segment was brutal.

I really think WWE should transition Smackdown to an NXT show. That way we go back to having main roster WWE programming once a week, and get more exposure to NXT.
 
Okay, I'm off to work after working out and watching RAW and bitching on Sherdog sitting in the park in the sun :)
 
I don't know why some people in here are bitching about AJ Styles being No 1 contender after being beaten by Jericho at Wrestlemania. AJ had beaten Jericho one on one before and pinned Jericho in the four way, so it's not entirely senseless.

Raw was great last night. Enzo and Cass could be huge, as well as Baron Corbin.
