Does this tell the whole story? I would say no.
 
SD at the beginning of the split was better in all aspects. It even started beating Raw in ratings. Result, the talent swap ended Wyatt’s championship push, ended Miz and DBs white hot angle, Talking Smack cancelled, broke up AA, put Cena on both brands, made Ambrose stale, I guess Charlotte for Alexa is a push but Alexa was one of the big reasons SD was getting over, took Mickie and made the SD Women’s division shallow and finally forced Shane as the main event act.
Overall probably but I never thought that the main event scene was. In my opinion wyatt never should have been given the title and American alpha was bland. Talking smack isn't that big of a deal really. Cena on both brands is fine. Charlotte actually went a bit backwards like Miz but both are pretty much back to where they were now. Owens might have been hurt by it the most, where you would have expected him to thrive. I'll never get the shane thing but people cheer him.
 
Oh and forgot it took away an entertaining and over Rhyno/Slater team that were champs and straight buried them.
This I did hate. But the damage was actually done on smackdown where they did what they always do and sacrificed them to a short term super team for their feud.
 
Now that seems like some special snowflake shit.

I was told as a kid I was in Gen X but recently was called a millennial. I am FAR from millennial in pretty much everything. Born 1981
 
Cancelling Talking Smack must have been a Dunn and Steph move.

Talking Smack made SD must see after Miz. Like he said, creative had nothing for him so he went out and got himself over. Funny how that works
 
Reading that Xennial link and I saw an article about the new Kobra Kai series. Kinda can’t wait lol
 
Nope. Adds nothing to the product or event. Doesn’t add to a storyline. Nostalgia can only go so far. Def wasn’t worth 1/3 of his asking price.
The Hulkster should have Atomic Leg Dropped Okada.

Let Hogan have a long run as Champ.

That would have had people talking. It would have sold a ton of Hulkamania merchandise and put butts in the seats.

Brother.
