I can just see the brainstorm behide the name, "well smackdown has the wwe world championship whats bigger than the world? the universe."

Here are the first round of ratings between the two shows.

Quote: The first post-Draft edition of Smackdown drew 2.743 million viewers overall. This is down from last week's 3.170 million viewers for the Draft edition.

Smackdown, which slightly outdrew RAW last week in viewers, did much lower than RAW's 3.339 million viewers this week.

will take some time to get figures up again

If they can deliver consistently like the quality of this week it can only improve, just have to factor wether many casuals will tune in for this new programming.

A lot of attitude era fans will have to be open minded too and see where it goes.

It's just so stupid, if u wanted confirmation that we truly are in the PG era that's it there. I wanna see guys bustin their ass for a title that means sumin like the world title, not facking for a universe title because of the fans. Yh the fans are amazing for their devotion to wwe but come on now a title after them??

You want one moment look back at mania 20 when Benoit won the title, yh it's fake shit but look at the emotion and energy Benoit showed there, it's like wow I captured a meaningful title, that u can't fake. With this universe title, it's like Yh I won it but it don't mean nothing, the us title being better says it all

Your spot on with those points. I am really intrigued to see the actual design of the championship suspect it wont be far off, if they were smart they would of just kept the original world title all a long but its new era new everything.

Vince thinks Benoit brought shame on everyone in the company. With his, you know, wrestling ability

I think the name for the title is lame,but if its done properly,with meaningful reigns that last longer than a few weeks it will add prestige to it.When the belts are passed around aimlessly like they have been in recent years,that devalues them more than a crappy name.
