I don't care what happens to Terkay. His manager should either go singles, or Burke and Terkay should go for tag team gold. Smackdown could use an extra tag team.

2: Push cruiserweights.

They had what was shaping up to be an excellent feud between the Mexicools, and it's just dropped for ECW. All the Cruisers need to stay on one brand, and that needs to be the focal point of that brand.

3: Get rid of the useless squashes, have longer matches.

Having longer matches would possibly reduce the total amount of matches, but the ring time could possibly increase. With SD's slim roster, this would also act as a bit of a.... masking agent, for the lack of a better term, considering you would need less wrestlers to do a better show.

4: Get rid of Khali, put Undertaker and Angle in the same brand. Preferrably Smackdown.

Angle needs to go where he belongs. Smackdown. Khali has to go. I don't care where anymore, if he can't go on live TV, then he sure as HELL shouldn't be on edited. He is just wasting time. Once he's gone, get another Taker - Angle feud going. That was a god damn good feud. One that made me think that MAYBE... just maybe Smackdown was on an upward spiral.
1. Sylvester Terkay = money. In a few months, everyone will be on his bandwagon. He's a big guy with talent. I love Elijah Burke, moreso than I do Terkay, and I think it is kind of shit he doesn't get the opportunity to show his stuff as often, but Terkay equals money, Burke just equals talent. We all know how the WWE usually fucks up talent.

This also goes with my "give SmackDown! another show which isn't plagued with recaps like Velocity used to be" idea. On one show of the week, Terkay can pick up the win, the next, Burke gets a victory.

2. I agree with this. The WWE has been pretty good to Gregory Helms, but right now he really only has Funaki and Jimmy Yang has potential challengers for the Cruiserweight Title. I was an advocate of putting Jeff Hardy and Shannon Moore on SmackDown! to compete for the title. Unfortunately the WWE is too stupid to put cruiserweights on the show with the Cruiserweight Title.

3. I'm fairly certain SmackDown! has longer matches than RAW and ECW. They also have more matches. That's part of the reason I like SmackDown!. I do agree that they should pick and choose their matches more carefully. This past week, Vito vs. Scott Fowler seemed out of place. I like Vito, but if they're not going anywhere with his streak, they really could have put it on hold for a week. I think a KC James & Idol Stevens squash would have made more sense in context with the show. Have Paul London & Brian Kendrick run out and attack James & Stevens after the match. Try and get some life pumped into the WWE Tag Team Championship feud (something they kind of did this week, but could have done even further).

4. If anything, The Undertaker should leave SmackDown!. Smackers doesn't need The Undertaker, Smackers doesn't need Kurt Angle. The less main eventers the better, in my opinion. It gives more time to the lower-card matches.
