#3 Worst: Promoting the other brand, during a war!
Ad
How are we supposed to take the brand rivalry seriously, in this case?
It is widely speculated that the brand split happened to emulate the Monday Night Wars, where viewers could pick a brand to get behind. But how do we take this brand split seriously, when Michael Cole is congratulating Smackdown Live for completing 900 episodes?
Also promoting a Cruiserweight Show that is exclusive to Smackdown Live must mean that Kalisto is going over Brian Kendrick at Survivor Series, isn’t he? This is as bad as Tony Schiavone giving away Raw results on Nitro. Nobody believes that the two brands are working against each other. It seems like one big happy family.
