Especially with the inter-promotional matches taking place or do you think they'll just stay the same as they are.

I don't think this inter-promotional thing is a good thing, I think if the plan is to keep them seperate then they should keep it that way. The switches have spoiled it for me as well.

I think it would be pretty cool. If they did another draft just to shake things up

The divas match means nothing. The Goldberg-Lesnar match is probably the best way to get rid of Goldberg, IMO. As for Kane-Undertaker, your guess is as good as mine.

I think it will. I think they figured in the eyes of many fans right now the Raw Roster is far superior to the smackdown roster. They need to change it up more. I know that I used to watch Smackdown all the time but there just seems nothing interesting on there enought to get me to watch any more. Raw has all the big name stars and the ratings and i think WWE has finally noticed it. Hopefully they will do another draft type thing and mix things up.

There's the possibilty of trading RVD for Taker after the tag team thing blows over.

Smackdown has far more viewers than RAW.

So this line of thinking that "RAW has more viewers, RAW is #1, RAW has all the top stars" is false. Smackdown has about a million more viewers per week than RAW, and Smackdown also has the biggest star in the company right now in Eddie Guerrero.

As for the rosters, Goldberg-Lesnar will be over at Mania cuz Billy is leaving. Taker will still be on SD, so if the fued with Kane continues, Kane will have to move to SD. I haven't heard anything about that, but anything can happen. And the girls fued, would anyone really want to see that continue? It'll be bad at Mania, so why do it again?

I dont like the idea of doing another draft. I mean where would the logic be in that? Vince comes out one day and goes "I'm bored, lets shuffle up the rosters".

They have worked for the past couple of years to build some sort of identity between the two shows, so why kill that? If you shake things up, yeah you'll get some fresh match ups for the next year, but then what do you do for Mania next year when you want to do some interpromotional matches? What are you going to have Lesnar form RAW vs Angle from SD....that'll be new, or maybe HBK from SD vs HHH from RAW.

The better idea is to continue to elevate new talent on each show to create new match ups for this year, and then at Mania next year you can do some interpromotional matches like say Austin-Lesnar or Angle-HHH or whatever.

Smackdown needs at least 3 or 4 more big stars in order to even out the rosters

Agreed, if RVD and Booker T weren't Tag Champs, I would have suggested those two.

Goldberg/Lesnar will probably be a loser leaves town sorta match. Thats the way I see it going down.

I indeed hope the rosters will change after WM in a good way that is.

There are no plans for Taker or Brock to go to RAW, Edge on the other hand is almost a lock to be on RAW.

I haven't heard if anyone is coming back the other way to SD.

Or maybe Austin is the one who somehow fires Goldberg

If RAW loses Goldberg, then Taker seems a logical choice to replace him as a big, powerful face.

I agree that RVD and Booker T would be great on Smackdown, but I reckon they should keep Booker T on RAW for the time being, but move RVD immediately, and then give him a big feud with Cena for the US Title.

After a few months, RVD can start another feud with Eddie, because I remember the matches they had on RAW a couple of years ago to determine who had the best frogsplash. Classic matches, pure dead brilliant!!

Goldberg is gone for sure after WM. I see him getting fired or pink slipped somehow for a storyline, as I cant imagine any other line they could pull without people scratching their heads.

Booker T is gone, I read in the Calgary sun that after WM, WWE is letting go of a few medicore wrestlers, which included Booker T as one of the names. though honestly I dont know now as he and RVD are tag team champs.
