The frame is generally cheaper than the mattress + box spring combo =p Entity13 posted... I have to budget it all with rent and security deposit, setting up electric and Internet, supplying myself for groceries and keeping the place clean, and eventually paying my folks back for all their help getting me up here. Right, and there's the address change stuff and all that. tbh, you got back on your feet pretty quickly then. ParanoidObsessive posted... WWE loves the idea of the brand split because it allows them to run two house show circuits instead of one (and thus, in theory, make more money). It also (again, in theory) allows them to build more stars, because you get to put the spotlight on twice as many top guys, as opposed to just having the same top guys main event both weekly shows. Fans generally hate the idea of the brand split, though, because it creates the perception that any show you go to will only have half the wrestlers you actually want to see, and it makes it harder for certain match ups to happen (ie, if one wrestler is on Raw and another wrestler is on SmackDown, you're much less likely to see those two wrestle each other). Also, having two top champions, two mid-card champions, two tag champions, and two women's champions (and now women's tag champions and a 24/7 champion as well) kind of devalues individual titles, because there's so damned many of them. Plus with the lack of external competition, they've got to something to hype their product via a rivalry, right? =p Honestly, my only major issue with the split roster is the titles thing you mentioned. The mid-card titles don't matter, but I like having a definitive heavyweight champ. And the fact that the wrestlers only have inter-brand matches occasionally makes those fights seem more special, like the Champion of Champions match to decide which champ is the realest... which they then shat on by having Booker win with Kevin Federline's (a minor league only famous for Britney Spears's baby daddy) help. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:928891782] in Valley of ...
