[t-man]

You have got to have shiting me.

[The Show Off]

From Raw to Smackdown!

1. Christian (to strengthen up the US Title Scene)
2. Matt Hardy (to strengthen up the US Title Scene)
3. Shawn Michaels (to get some one new go for the WWE Title)
4. William Regal (to move him up to WWE Title)
5. The Hurricane (to go into the Cruiserweight Title scene)


Hired to Smackdown!

1. American Dragon (imagine Angle versus Dragon, classic)
2. Jeff Jarrett (more guys for the world title)
3. AJ Styles (AJ will give the cruiserweights some credibility)
4. Kazarian (same as AJ)
5. Michael Shane (same as the two above and then down the line he could tag with HBK)


From Smackdown! to Raw

1. John Cena (to finally set up the ground work for the Cena/Orton feud)
2. Bubba Ray Dudley (more tag teams on Raw)
3. D-Von Dudley (same as above)
4. Mark Jindrak (team him back with Cade more tag teams)
5. Billy Gunn (team him back with Pulumbo more tag teams)


Hired to Raw

1. James Storm (to sure up the tag ranks with...)
2. Chris Harris (to sure up the tag ranks with Storm)
3. Christopher Daniels (more tag teams with...)
4. Low Ki (so him and Daniels could mke up the better Triple X duo)
5. Raven (just to give Raw another main eventer after losing Michaels)


Basically what I'm going for is to give Smackdown some more name talent in it's ranks as well as giving the cruiserweight championship a huge boost, by adding... Hurricane, Styles, Kazarian & Shane to join Mysterio, Chavo, Kidman & London think of those cool matches if they used these guys...

From where I'm looking Raw is a pretty solid show except for it's tag team ranks so I gave the people so they can have these new tag teams... Dudley Boyz, Jindrak & Cade, Chuck & Billy, Americas Most Wanted & Triple X, that's 5 Wrestlers that you can add to La Resistanse, which is the only quality tag team on Raw, six tag teams should be good enough.

Ok.You are'nt shiting me!!

[The Show Off]

Ok.You are'nt shiting me!!

What are you talking about kid?

[t-man]

I thought you were lying. But you were telling the truth. Looks like TNA is pretty much screwed.

[Gouda]

..... I think he thinks that these trades/hirings actually happened. :wtf:

[The Answer]

5. Raven (just to give Raw another main eventer after losing Michaels)




Though I like Raven WWE already misused him once,what would a second run prove

[Wildcat789]

From Raw to Smackdown-
1. Christian (So he can get away from that loser Tomko, and grab the US title.)
2. Shawn Michaels (I would drool over a Kurt Angle vs. Shawn Michaels wrestlemania.)
3. Chuck Palumbo (Yeah, it's dumb. But the FBI could be a major heel stable with the three guys, and who wouldn't want to see that?)
4. Hurricane (This is a given. He's a cruiserweight with great charisma. Although he's pretty bleh in the ring, he'd still be a good asset to the division.)
5. The Rock (Quite franky, using the Rock to put people over always works. It worked with Eugene and the Hurricane. There is loads of young talent on Smackdown right now that could use this push. They could even do it for the new Tough Enough jackass that pops out of this dead end contest.)

From Smackdown to Raw-
1. The Big Show (He has jobbed to everybody on Smackdown. On that show, he just looks like a joke. It's a shame, since Show is so great.)
2. Michael Cole (What a bad announcer. Let him be an interviewer, like every other dingus who looks like a tard with bad acting skills. Tazz is so good he could do it alone.)
3. JBL (Now this could be risky. But if there is something Raw needs, its a guy who can really dominate the mic on the heel side. He wouldn't need to win the belt, but he could definately be in the top tier.)
4. Orlando Jordan (He can't do anything without JBL, so move em both.)
5. Rey Mysterio (I feel that this is the only way to get the Cruiserweight Belt to different guys. I'm not saying that Rey isn't good enough for it, nor that he has any backstage prowess in getting it back. But we've seen Rey Mysterio with this strap so many times, and if he isn't forced away from it, we'll see it so many more.)

I'd Hire-
1. AJ Styles
2. Chris Harris
3. James Storm
4. Kazarian
5. Jeff Hardy
6. Chris Kanyon
7. Sting
8. Goldberg (Shut up and listen here. Yeah he's really shaky, but he is such a HUGE star, and quite frankly I thought he was a really credible heavyweight champ. As long as he is realistic with his schedule, he'd be a good sign.)
9. Sabu (He can team with--)
10. Raven (Screw their feud. It's good and all, but they have a history and would be so solid together. After a few reigns together, they could split to different shows and try to draw alone)

LOL you fuckin idiot.

Steve Austin RAW

[Mr. Nerfect]

OK, I may a few faulty choices, IMO. I think I could do a better job with this than my first:

Five to SmackDown!
1. Chris Jericho
2. William Regal
3. Eugene Dinsmore
4. The Hurricane
5. Shawn Michaels

Five to RAW
1. Eddie Guerrero
2. Nunzio
3. Johnny Stamboli
4. John Bradshaw Layfield
5. Dawn Marie

Ten Hired
1. Michael Shane (SmackDown!)
2. Frankie Kazarian (RAW)
3. Petey Williams (SmackDown!)
4. Chase Stevens (SmackDown!)
5. Andy Douglas (SmackDown!)
6. Raven (RAW)
7. Kanyon (RAW)
8. Christopher Daniels (SmackDown!)
9. Abyss (RAW)
10. The American Dragon (SmackDown!)

NOTE: I would have The Rock return to SmackDown!, but a trade wouldn't really be needed. He can basically show up anywhere and just claim he singed a new contract because his old one expired.

Though I like Raven WWE already misused him once,what would a second run prove

Practically every single person I seclected to be hired from the WWE, with the exception of AMW, I doubt the WWE would use correctly, however I made all my pics based on what I think they could do, which is why I'd bring in Raven, because he could be awesome if he was used right , though I doubt he ever would be used right, just as I doubt that AJ Styles would be built up good in WWE, but if used good... just imagine a AJ Styles v. Rey Mysterio match almost as good as my afformentioned American Dragon v. Kurt Angle match...

No breaking up Michael Cole and Tazz!

From Raw to Smackdown!
1) Christian (Really push him hard, give him a good US title run, then bring him up to the main events)
2) Shawn Michaels (Just to get a big name)
3) The Hurricane (He's just wasted on Raw)
4) William Regal (Spice up the US or rather... BRITISH!! title division.)
5) Stevie Richards (Push him hard!! Yeah!!!)

From Smackdown! to Raw
1) Eddie Guerrero (Maybe reclaim some of his fire and momentum. As well as give a fresh face to the main event scene)
2) Mark Jindrak (IC title? Tag title?)
3) Rey Msyterio (He doesn't need the cruserweight division and could easily be made the IC champ)
4) Charlie Haas (As a heel, have him feud with Benjamin over the IC title)
5) Paul Heyman (Let him wreak havoc on the superstars of Raw for a change)

As for people to hire, I honestly don't know much about TNA people or old ECW people so the only one I can think of is Chris Kanyon. I'd put him on Smackdown! Maybe form a union (not necessarily team) with Christian.

Oh.... Also:

From Velocity to Raw
Bill Demott! Replace The King!

[John la Rock]

lol Bill Demmott replacing the King lol

you're serious?

[Nowhere Man]

Raw to SD!:

1) Chris Benoit= he's really not doing anything on Raw now that Orton has knocked him out of the #1 face spot, and bringing him back to SD would get an already-established main event face back into the WWE Title scene. A line-up of Eddie, Angle, and Benoit could more than offset the Undertakers and JBLs stinking up the main event scene on SD.

2) Rhyno= He never really got much of anything during his last run on SD, but I think he would make a killer U.S. Champion, especially if put in a program with Rob Van Dam or Cena.

3) Tajiri= I still don't see what the point was in moving him over to Raw. He was one of the main players in the Cruiserweight scene before the move, and could be again. Have him mix it up with Paul London and the likes could really breathe some life into a division where the top heels are Spike Dudley and Billy Kidman (who I like, but has the charisma of a wooden plank)

4) The Hurricane= Another talented cruiser doing nothing on a show with no cruiser division. No point in him being on Raw except in the undeserving jobber spot.


5) Kane= a move to SD could mean a possible escape from the godawful Lita/Gene Snitsky/Shane McMahon storylines, and maybe a whole new direction for the character. Plus, if you run out of ideas, there's always Kane/Undertaker part 497.

SD! to Raw:

1) The Big Show= SD's got enough big lumbering hosses as it is. Plus, Show can be used a bit more effectively on Raw instead of just smashing cruiserweights on a weekly basis.

2) John Cena= His character's gotten kind of stale on SD, and changing rosters usually gives faces a bit of a jump-start in momentum. A Cena/Christian feud has the potential to rule quite righteously, and then of course there's the Cena/Orton feud people have wanted since both guys showed up in '02.

3 and 4) The Dudley Boyz= Face, heel, whatever. There's really nothing you can do with these guys anymore except give them a five trillionth title run. However, I feel they'd be more at home on Raw, which has been dying for an established tag team since the roster switch.

5) Charlie Haas= The stuff with Rico has gotten old, and he's going to need to break away if he's ever going to make it on his own. On Raw, he could come into his own in the I-C Division, maybe feuding with Shelton or re-forming the WGTT.

Indy Talent I'd Hire:

1) Abyss= talented big man who'd fit in very well on Raw or as part of a stable with the Undertaker on SD. I'd definitely change his gimmick a bit though, since it's a bit too much like Kane's.

2) Teddy Hart= I know the guy's got a bad reputation behind the scenes, but he's a great performer in the ring, and could really bolster the cruiserweight division. Plus, the Hart name alone should bring in some ratings if only out of curiosity.

3) Juventud Guerrera= based on the Super-X Cup tourney that TNA ran last year, I'd say the guy can still go like he could in the 90's. He could easily be another hit for the Cruisers, since he's a pretty well-known luchadore, and might bring back some more of the old WCW fans. Just as long as he can behave himself backstage.

4) Psicosis= see above.

5 and 6) America's Most Wanted= a very good tag team that would fit in on either roster. I'd personally put them on Raw, since the tag division there is all but dead.

7) Jerry Lynn= yeah, he had a lousy run before, but since he wasn't around for very long, I doubt it'll be remembered too much. He'd work pretty well in the cruiser division on SD, maybe start up his old feud with RVD. He could also fit in well on Raw, although I'd probably pair him up with somebody else (though I can't decide who)

8) Steve Austin= I know what you're thinking, but provided he can get his personal life worked out, I'd like to see the Rattlesnake come back one more time, maybe just pop up sporadically like the Rock. The problem would be finding how to give him a role without taking TV time away from the full-time wrestlers.

9) Mike Awesome= another guy who was completely misused during his WWE tenure, but I think could get over pretty big today. He'd have a hell of a lot more going for him than schmucks like Tyson Tomko or Heidenreich, that's for sure.

10) Kid Kash= Can you imagine how much a Kash/Jericho feud would rule?

[Aussie Skier]

i'll jsut do 5 to raw and 5 to Smackdown:

Chris Jericho for John Cena
The Hurricane for Eddie Guerrero
Val Venis for Heidenreich
Batista for Rey Mysterio
Chuck Palumbo for ?

I have no idea actually. These all seem to forced.
trades need to happen in order to elevate a wrestler or brand.

10 guys to bring in:
Jerry Lynn
The Rock :yes:
B.G. James
Konnan
AMW
Ultimo Dragon
AJ Styles
Christopher Daniels
Chris Sabin

[Mr. Nerfect]

I like the idea of Abyss being like Kane. If the WWE would smudge the line between kayfabe and reality a bit, you can say that Kane was born in Madrid, Spain alongside a twin brother. The doctors there wouldn't allow the "devil child" to live, but Kane's parents snuck him away and to this day Abyss has become an "abyss" of humanity.

It would be interesting to see how Kane would react to the situation. Abyss could want to avenge the lost of Kane's baby for him, and Kane could want to embrace the return of his brother, remembering how painful it was tryong to please The Undertaker. If you moved Abyss to SmackDown!, and had Kane show up, and have each have motive for destroying each other, you could have a great Triple Threat match at WrestleMania.

For some reason I think of Abyss when I think of water. Maybe the third Calloway child could have been drowned, or chained up somewhere where he was kept alive only be evil visits of someone (Paul Bearer, perhaps?) or his sheer determination to survive? I could really see Abyss as a mainstain in the WWE. But that's only if they signed him.
