(09 Aug 2015, 6:56 pm)MurdnunoC wrote To elaborate, RAW was considered the flagship brand the last time around. Certain wrestlers twisted on when they were drafted to Smackdown (or ECW) because it was viewed as 'second-tier' (or third-tier). Shortly before his little episode, Benoit was drafted to ECW. Reportedly, this caused him to grow even more despondent as he felt he'd been demoted despite being booked to win the ECW title from CM Punk (which, for obvious reasons, didn't happen).Am I right in saying that despite being the 'Flagship' Show, a Paul Heyman led Smackdown Show actually outdid Raw at some point???
Some wrestlers have fragile egos. However it is presented, one brand is going to favoured over the other. Being on the 'lesser brand' causes problems.
