So although this thread has been dead and the PS room has been pretty active, I wanted to post in here anyway because of some pretty big upcoming changes in the wrestling world. The first, of course, is the revival of the WWE Brand Extension. This was a brilliant move back in the early 2000s to deal with the influx of performers brought in from WCW and ECW, but while it was great in theory, it ended up not succeeding too well for multiple reasons. The two biggest reasons it failed were because there was never a point when both programs were truly great (Smackdown was the better show early on but RAW was better by the later years, albeit not by much), and because Superstars kept making appearances on both shows which defeated the purpose of even having separate brands. I do think this is a great time to do it though as there is so much more talent that can be properly pushed because of this (and hopefully this finally means an important title run for Cesaro), and it means that it'll be one less day that talent has to work, which could give them a bit more resting time, which leads to better performances overall. I am personally skeptical of how the titles are going to be handled, because if a second world title is brought in, it won't have any meaning to it for quite some time, but I don't think we'll have to worry too much about that right now.
The other news I wanted to bring up, which actually isn't that big but it's cool to me, is the start of a new wrestling promotion! WhatCulture Wrestling, a YouTube channel dedicated to wrestling content (mostly WWE but some other stuff, too) is starting up their own promotion, WCPW. It's going to be a weekly show and will feature well-known talent. The first wrestler that we know that's gonna be involved is Rampage Brown, former PROGRESS Champion. I'm excited for this because I think that the WhatCulture writers, especially Adam Blampied, can create some interesting storylines, and we'll definitely get some great matches out of it.
