Raw vs Smackdown PPV?

[Dorkchop]

A lot of people seem to really want to see matches like Orton vs Cena, Kane vs Undertaker, Goldberg vs Brock (Even though that one turned out to be complete ass). I can't really think of other examples right now.

Do you think the WWE should make an annual Raw vs Smackdown pay per view? Or would you rather them keep those few matches for Wrestlemania? I think they could easily make Survivor Series into a pay per view like that.

Also, what interprmotion matches would you like to see? I'd like to see:
* Angle vs Y2J
* Christian vs Eddie
* Batista vs Luther (That one would either be great, or god awful)
* Benoit vs Haas
* Big Show vs Raw in a gauntlet match (That match would kick ass)
* Kane vs Smackdown in an elimination handicap match (You'd have to tag your partner)

how about Haas V Benjamin. Why not? Cena V Orton is a 100% must for me at least, and Y2J V Eddie... i can just see it now. OH OH OH... SHIT, I JUST CREAMED MY PANTS IN ANTICIPATION

No I don't think there should be an annual Raw vs Smackdown PPV. Allow Wrestlemania to have some interpromotional matches - that way it should theoretically receive the best build-up and the highest buyrates

Ive said this before, but I think all the dual brand PPVs should have a RAW vs SD element to them.

Summerslam features the KOTR finals between one RAW guy and one SD guy.

Survivor Series has a RAW vs SD 5 on 5 elimination match, maybe in HIAC to make it like War Games.

Royal Rumble stays as is.

Finally, Mania has 3 RAW vs SD matches.

You assign points to all of these matches, by the end of Mania, one of the brands will be ahead and will win the Stephanie McMahon Cup.......maybe they could think of a better name. And the process starts again the next year.

As for a RAW vs SD PPV, I wouldn't do it. If they were to make a PPV that was entirely RAW vs SD it should be Wrestlemania.

You know what I think WWE dropped the ball on? Back when they had the lottery right after Wrestlemania XX?

(And I know I'll get some backlash for this)

I was honestly thinking that on RAW the HHH vs. Eddie Guerrero title match would end with a pinfall, most likely not clean, but of course in true Vince fashion they botch that worse than Lita botching trying to tell us that she doesn't botch.

There was a run in from someone and it turned into an all out war which for some reason is still cool to see (mostly because you actually see the entire roster(s) for once)

This might have actually saved Vince from the current state.
Think about it. WWE could have went in a few directions. I don't think they realized they could have been on to something with this:

1. Have HHH remain on RAW in the same way but have Guerrero cheat to win. This could spark a rivalry for the near future because HHH would be pissed that he lost for a major title by being cheated and would eventually seek revenge (of course this was done with Goldberg and soon to be ex-Viking Lesnar but this would be better because it would be HHH and Guerrero. After this it could have gone anywhere plus don't really know where to go from there.

2. HHH to Smackdown and he loses to Guerrero. HHH is fuming as always ends up ultimately losing the feud. He's pissed he wants to go back to Raw and Evolution (I know I know this is completely impossible but it would only solidify HHH a-hole status and maybe just maybe spark ratings and interest. The main heel in the WWE is on Smackdown which at that time was considered the worse of the two programs and he hates being there. But he hates being there because he's not winning, Smackdown isn't the minor league that the Raw and "those bastard internet smarks and fans alike" maybe thought too. HHH is viewed as a great sacrifical pivotal point which brings him some respect which he's lacked. And hell put him back on Raw in time for Orton winning the Worldheavyweight title thus picking up where we are now. HHH could have left Raw for months and it may have benefited (sic) everyone.

3. and what Vince probably considered at one point. (Vince in his office considering that the ratings are poor on Smackdown enough so that he thinks he'll repeat history. HHH will go to Smackdown and beat Guerrero on Raw. Then there is a whole new roster for HHH to undeservedly squash for another year and a half (give or take a few months depending on your opinion). Vince then smiles as he completes his masterpiece. Raw and Smackdown were only a cover for two volumes of programming entitled: "HHH's Ass Rapefests Volumes 1 & 2 now on dvd including bonus footage with Steph)

Who knows maybe this is nuts but I had an idea after tonight's SD! and a joint. Of course I turned it off before the JBL, OJ, UT utter cluster fuck (if they DQ anymore I'm going to throw my TV out the freakin' window.

As a wise man once said,
Of course that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.[I]

Without actually reading the responses by anyone, wouldn't they have to set up fueds by invading the other show?

That was the major problem with the Goldberg/Lesner feud. Well...one of them at least. I love Cynick's idea of making most of the interpromotional matches between Raw and Smackdown be for bragging rights only (IE: Wargames, King of the ring finals match, Royal Rumble) and with only one month of real interpromotional feuds (Wrestlemania) I think we the fans could grow to expect a little interpromotional invasion time.

With the addition of the Raw Lottery the following monday night, we could get a real feel for a wrestling "season". One would assume that Wrestlemania would be the World Series or the Superbowl of the WWE, with the following night being the preseason draft. When February rolls around, Vince can declare that the wrestlers have free range over either show, but may not compete for the other show's titles. Of course, there's only be a half a dozen guys who would actually take the opportunity (it'll be an unspoken "coincidence") That way they guys with feuds at Wrestlemania can really hype the feuds up.
