Jonathan Coachman believes that WWE could release 85 percent of its current television roster without seriously hurting the product. He made the daring claim during an episode of “The Coach and Bro Show” while discussing WWE’s brand split with Vince Russo.
Russo argued that WWE should end the brand split and consolidate the RAW and SmackDown rosters. He said the corporate has to create an excessive amount of content with two brands, while the unique version of SmackDown worked as a direct continuation of RAW.
When Russo asked how much of WWE’s roster might be cut, Coachman gave a fast answer of 85 percent. He feels only a small variety of WWE stars are truly needed for weekly television, ticket sales, and major storylines.
Russo agreed with Coachman and said one shared roster could lower your expenses and make creative plans easier. He explained that WWE could use the identical talent across each shows and construct one ongoing story as an alternative of keeping separate rosters.
WWE has one in every of wrestling’s deepest talent pools, but Coachman believes having a big roster doesn’t all the time mean every name is important.
