Does the tri-brand system weaken the WWE?

Question

only one show is live

and to me, why hasn't any of these superstars faced each other:

Morrison, MVP, Kennedy, Orton, Dibiase, Y2J

(orton/y2j far too short a rivalry)

why not a evan bourne V Morrison on ECW?!

two shows i would like! not 3

Answer 1

to the WWE ECW is were the growing talent is, ECW isn't suppossed to be a good show.

Answer 2

only one live show b/c they know they can't handle 3 .. the WWE is getting weaker and weaker and one day they will go out of business and TNA and UFC will take over.. WWE likes to hold back their superstar's talent's.. unlike TNA which actually give their superstar's a chance of making it in the wrestling buseness..? i mean why else have so many WWE wrestlers left the WWE .. it's not b/c they were rejected it's b/c there done with the WWE.. For ex Brock lesnar is doing great in UFC.. but in my opinion ECW is the worst show they've got..  

Answer 3

No. its good because it obviously gives more superstars air-time. And it saves matches and feuds from happening too soon. Such as Batista and Cena taking 6 years.

Answer 4

It does weaken the WWE but they probably knew that they would get a lot of new Rookie wrestlers coming in and if there were only 2 brands not everybody will get a chance to participate but if they brought back a brand that everybody used to like it would boost up their ratings for a while then all the Rookie superstars will have kind of their "own" brand.

P.S. To me the ECW Championship seems like the Cruiserweight Championship or the same value as the U.S. Championship

Answer 5

I do admit that the brand split really led to WWE's downfall back then, I mean eversince WCW, ECW gone, and WWE being split into brands, things gotten less entertaining per se. But McMahon's gotta do what he gotta do, that is to buy WCW, ECW. But recently WWE is getting back on its feet, Smackdown is the A-show now, Raw is the next big thing and ECW is the developmental show.
