Some changes I'd make to the ECW roster...

[Mr. Nerfect]

ECW is filled to the brim with talent. There are rumours of releases taking place, but I think that is silly, especially with the need for some of these talents elsewhere. Here are some people I'd ship out of ECW camp, allowing ECW to focus more consistently on pushing talent, and to maybe allow some of the certain incoming talent to get decent pushes.

C.W. Anderson to RAW

Drop the "Christopher" crap and have this guy Spinebuster Ric Flair on an edition of RAW in the near-future. Anderson belongs around a mid-card title. He has the Intercontinental Championship on RAW. Come this time next year, Anderson's position on the roster will probably have to be re-evaluated, but releasing Anderson without testing the waters with him as a "Superstar" rather than an "Extremist" in almost criminal.

Jazz to RAW

She jobbed to Mickie James at Saturday Night's Main Event, and that is all. Bring her back to RAW. Stick her in another feud with Lita. With Trish Stratus and Lita leaving later this year, you need some veteran ladies to anchor the Women's Division. You have Mickie James and Victoria on RAW, with beth Phoenix as an outsider. You could move Jillian Hall over from SmackDown!, but they obviously want her there if they've kept her there for so long. Bringing in Jazz makes perfect sense.

Justin Credible to RAW

The most he's doing in ECW is jobbing. Yay. Bring him over to RAW, stick him with DX, just as The McMahons are about to get the advantage over the babyfaces, and you have yourself a talent benefitting from the DX stable (*GASP*). Credible's never been fantastic, but give him a kendo stick and a microphone when he's around his buddies, and I bet he has a chance of tearing the house down. You can even bring back Lance Storm on a part-time basis to be his tag team partner. The Impact Players on RAW? That would be awesome.

Test to RAW

Australia doesn't get ECW, granted, but it seems to me like Test and Mike Knox are both pretty much the same character. They've seemingly put them together, but that could hurt rather than help. Knox needs his own personality, and he's not going to get that with Test trying to do the same. Let Knox develop into a singles wrestler in ECW, and move Test over to RAW as The McMahons' latest weapon against DX. Test and Triple H go way back, and a feud between them would be kind of interesting.

Trinity to RAW

Mickie James, Victoria, Beth Phoenix, Jazz and Trinity; is that not the best you've seen the Women's Division? She's more of a logical trade when you see what I have later on.

Little Guido and Tony Mamaluke to SmackDown!

Without these two men, Trinity has nothing to tie her to ECW. Guido and Mamaluke could really help the tag team scene on SmackDown!. Both are cruiserweights, thus they'd also be able to go solo on occasion. Guido and Mamaluke are doing jobs in ECW, moving them to SmackDown! could find them moderate success. You could even have them "officially" remain ECW Extremists, and have their entrance consist of reminders that they are still ECW, and are only on SmackDown! under some kind of agreement by Paul Heyman and Theodore Long.

Shannon Moore to SmackDown!

He hasn't even debuted, yet, but he needs to help the Cruiserweight Division. Why they chose ECW for him is beyond me.

Al Snow and Stevie Richards to the Developmental Systems

Apparently Ohio Valley Wrestling is in chaos. Snow and Richards have a lot to offer the guys in OVW, and can easily take up on-screen characters, as well. Richards could also go to DSW. It just depends on which one needs him more. These two are currently doing nothing in ECW.

Agree? Disagree? Do you think ECW needs any changes to its current roster?

[JohnnyDrama]

I agree with most of your ideas. CW would be interesting on RAW, but I would have him partner up with Flair first, building on the Anderson legacy, for awhile before the obligatory turn. Then, if he gets some reaction, involve him in something else, if not, wish him better luck in his future endeavors.

Jazz to RAW is an obvious move unless they plan to bring in some women who can match up with her in ECW. If not, put her on RAW.

The FBI back to Smackdown is a good move. They don't have much going for them in ECW, and unless they plan to start a tag divison I would move them to a talent-deprived Smackdown roster. I might move Trinity with them though, as a boost to the Smackdown women's division.

Shannon Moore would fit nicely into the cruiserweight division on Smackdown as himself, not the Reject. Plus, I don't see how he would fit in well at all in ECW, as I agree with you that putting him there was senseless.

Al Snow and Stevie Richards are nothing more than jobbers, and ECW has enough of those, so put them where they can be more effective and helpful to the company; in the developmentals.

I completely disagree with the Credible and Test suggestions though. Credible on RAW would be as sucessful as his last stint there in X-Factor, terrible. He will always be shit on by WWE crowds. Therefore he's best suited in ECW where he can work in front of some fans who appriciate him as an above average wrestler who can put over new talent with the legitmacy of being a former ECW champion.

Test fits in well as the WWE prototype in ECW alongside Heyman. Knox is too new and unknown at this point to be Heyman's 2nd guy behind Show to battle Sandman/Dreamer. Although I figure they'll reveal Heyman's sercurity guards to be the Basham's (much to Alienoid's delight), I still think Test fits in best with ECW.

However, they need to bring back the TV Championship to give Punk, Knox, Thorn, Holly, Striker, Balls, and the like something to fight for.

[Pepsi Man]

Didn't you say all of this exact same stuff in the thread about ECW talent being on the "chopping block"?

[Afterlife]

I want Stevie on my tv. :(

[Mr. JL]

I like the idea of putting Justin Credible with Triple H and Shawn Michaels in D-Generation X. I think it could really work for him, although realistically speaking, he'd never be more than a mid-card guy.

Plus, Ric Flair with CW Anderson is a nice idea that could potentially work well too. Although, at the end of the day he's in the same boat as Justin Credible.

But I think Test really needs to stay in ECW for now. He's actually getting some good reaction from the crowds, and looks like he's being protected from the stupid angles, and drama that he would have been given if he was stuck on RAW.

[The One]

You do realise you basically moved more then 1/3 of the entire roster off the show right?

[Mr. Nerfect]

You do realise they only use about 1/3 of their roster, right?

[The One]

Eh, I say keep Test and Credible on ECW, and all the other people you wanted to move can just be released.

[Crippla]

If anyone should be moved in my opinion, it's Mike Knox. I just don't think he fits there.

<font color=goldenrod>I think there's a fairly easy way to shake up the rosters. RAW is always boasting its divas, SmackDown boats the cruiserweight division, and ECW always boasts that it has the most extreme variety

Solution? 3-Way Deal

RAW: Raw will get Smackdown and ECW's women. Jillian Hall, Jazz, and Trinity could do wonders for the division especially with Trish and Lita on the way out. The division will definately be beefed up...especially when you consider that the skills of Victoria and the other talented women can rub off on the unexperienced ones like Kristal, Layla, and Ashley

SmackDown: SmackDown will inherit the Cruiserweights. Therefore, the likes of Shannon Moore, Little Guido, and Tony Mamaluke from ECW. And from RAW, they can get guys like Johnny and Mikey (it would be a way to somewhat sever the Squad which I believe is still in plans)

ECW: Well, the fact that guys like Hardcore Holly, Rene Dupree, Matt Striker, and eventually the Bashams appear to be headed to decent success in ECW shows that they are trying to build up the undercarders from the other brands. Therefore ECW can get some of the guys from ECW not doing much...decent results can follow. Conway and Sylvan aren't doing jack, so move them to reunite with Dupree. Simon Dean? He hasn't been on TV in forever, you can probably have him redebut as Nova without much trouble (bWo with Stevie?) And obviously there are others you can move but I can't be bothered to think of them.

The only real problem I see with this is that once its all said and done, the ECW roster will probably resemble TNA's in that its big and there's no way in hell you can fit everyone on in a one hour slot. But odds are, it'll get bumped to two soon so until then you have a big roster.</font>

I've wanted to see something like this for a long time. Every woman to RAW seems like a bit of a stretch, though. Leave Kelly Kelly and Ariel in ECW; Ashley, Layla and Michelle McCool on SmackDown!. You should probably move Maria over to ECW, as well (so she can be with CM Punk).

I'm not sure if they're billing him as weighing more these days, but if you do that cruiserweight thing, Carlito could move to SmackDown!, as well. This allows them to actually do something with Carlito. A feud with King Booker would be some nice shit. Jeff Hardy would go as well, which would allow them to re-unite The Hardy Boyz. If they did this next week, they may be time to build to a Paul London & Brian Kendrick vs. The Pit Bulls vs. The Hardy Boyz TLC Match at No Mercy.

<font color=goldenrod>Yeah I was thinking they could have some sort of provision in the deal where managers could stay on their brand (technically this would also mean Trinity stays on ECW but this is WWE here...they could just re-debut her on RAW without saying anything.

Thinking about the guys to move to ECW, I was thinking you could potentially ship Shelton Benjamin as one of the guys to go over there. Have him play off the legitimate athlete role and Angle's release and have him say he's going to pick up where Angle left off. Bam, you have a new main event player in ECW.</font>

[Destor]

This seems like a good place to unvail the new sig:

[Indifferent Clox]

I think they should move super crazy and kid kash to ECW and get test out of ECW. I went to an ECW show last night and the only ecw rules match was the last one....

[weather vane]

So just get rid of ECW?
