A wrestling legend has lashed out at WWE recently. He wants a former personality reinstated.
Hardcore Holly is the latest to lash out at WWE. The company's product has come a long way from when Vince Russo was the head writer. Back then, the brand split actually meant something. Superstars who were drafted to RAW or SmackDown would only show up on their respective shows. Additionally, each show had its own PLE. This allowed storylines to play out more naturally. In the modern era, the WWE Draft has become nothing more than a gimmick used to make the show feel more authentic without adding any substance. Superstars on RAW and SmackDown show up on both shows irrespective of where they belong. Therefore, the brand split has received its fair share of criticism in recent years.
Hardcore Holly recently took to social media to lash out at World Wrestling Entertainment for the current brand split idea, calling it "stupid." He also called for Vince Russo to be hired as head writer if the company wants to improve the product.
>"The brand split was stupid back in 2002 but I understood it from a business standpoint. In 2025, it's just stupid, ignorant, lazy, and senseless. End the brand split, bring in Vince Russo as head writer and maybe two assistants, no shackles. Must-see TV would return."
