I've been reading a lot of anti-brand split sentiments, and whilst I share the negative opinions to an extent, I actually like the idea of a roster split.
Firstly, a lot of other people are getting a chance to shine - who here honestly believes Christian would get a IC reign if the rosters weren't split? Who thinks Brock wouldn't have been pinned? Ultimately, I don't think that WWE will get a WWF/WCW competition going on, but there is more variety and people to see, and that is a good thing IMO.
Don't get me wrong - Bad Blood was a let down for me, and people who read my post a week ago know I was looking forward to it. But even though there were man things wrong that doesn't mean its the way its always going to be - this is the first one! Sure, if I was paying it may be different, but I'm not.
Compare the first Raw to nowadays - sure, there are some things that will never change, but one thing I always feel from a lot of wrestling sites, and this forum quite frequently, is negativity. Instead of looking the negatives all the time, be optimistic - there's certainly something you like, otherwise you wouldn't still be watching.
If we all had a shot at something, then someone shot us down immediately at the stuff we'd done wrong, then we'd think it was unfair. The roster split may indeed not work, but the least we can do is give them a chance to improve.

What? Hurricane has got a good gimmick, probably the best since they dropped that whole 'every wrestler has to be a character' thing of the 90's.
But he's simply not big enough to be seen as a threat. Remember when he had HHH and SCSA in a double chokeslam at RR? That was quality.

IMO Hurricane jst ain't that good.
Certainly a different view on the brand extension.
I think I get bored with WWE as it's the same thing week in week out. I don't watch it anymore. This is mainly because Hurricane rarely gets a look in anymore and some of the storylines are just pathetic.
Still, good arguement, hopefully we can all loosen up and begin to accept the WWE for what it is now.

I can see what you're saying and I agree with you in the way that it gives more wrestlers a chance to shine. The only thing I have against the roster split is that it's not mixing things up enough. We see the same wrestlers going against each other in varied matches week after week. It needs some variation.
They could swop a few wrestlers around but on the other hand, this might not be enough... In my view, the roster split has done good but it's starting to get to the time that the whole roster should be back as one.

Yeah, also Maven never got the break he really needed. RVD should go for the IC Title.
You have a valid point. But even with the roster split some people are not being given a good enough opportunity that they deserve. RVD springs to mind. He should be fighting for the World title; he's way better than Nash etc.
Good points there but I still think it will be better without the split roster.
