DISCUSSION - What exactly do you want to see with the new Roster Split?

For those of you who have had the (dis?)pleasure of reading my posts and threads on here on a regular basis, will know damn well that I will experience and erection of the penis this Monday when the new rosters are set.

The question that I have, is what exactly do you want to see? Should Raw (or Smackdown) become the 'A' show (where all of the top stars compete on that particular show), whereas the other show becomes the 'B' show? (almost like the old Sunday Night Heat.......where up-coming stars are built up. Once they are ready and are 'over', they can move to the 'A' show and receive an immediate push to capitalize on the momentum).

If the rosters do stay 'balanced', would you like to see a unified World Champion?.......a Champion that appears on both shows? I have talked about this to death in the past, and so I won't go into a lengthy description here.

How about certain feuds that you are looking forward to? An RVD vs. Billy Kidman feud could help re-vitalize both men's careers. Jericho vs. Angle could be solid as well. Orton vs. Cena could very well be the next The Rock vs. Triple H.

Regardless of what happens with the roster split, here is what I would like to see happen

1) Rob Van Dam needs to be put in a position to "main-event" on whatever show he gets put on
-With guys like Brock Lesnar, Goldberg, and perhaps even Kurt Angle (re-aggrivated neck injury?) all out of action, the WWE needs new stars to emerge. A re-push of RVD would be key. Whether he gets pushed and built up as a face, or becomes a cocky heel like he was in ECW, RVD needs to be a main-eventer. Prefereably, I'd like to see him on the same show as Eddie Guerrero. Whether both men are faces or heels, I think the two men could really put on a series of great matches. This could be one of the greatest and most entertaining rivalries in recent memories.

2) John Cena and Randy Orton on the same show

-Like I've alluded to many times in the past, I think a Cena/Orton feud could be the equivalent of The Rock/Triple H feud from 1998 (i.e. where both men ultimately get elevated from the feud regardless of who goes 'over').

3) Keep Undertaker and Kane on separate shows
Unless you are a moron who occassionally likes to have sex with men, I do not need to elaborate on this topic. Taker vs. Kane have been done to death. Kane always ends up looking inferior to Taker when they are together. At a time when the WWE needs new main-event stars, Kane needs to look credible.

4) Add Matt Hardy, Spike Dudley, and the Hurricane to the Cruiserweight Division: It's obvious that the WWE don't have a fucking clue on how to push Matt Hardy. Put him in the CW division to give the division credibility. Make him a face or something. Put him back with Lita. Once he gets over again, then push him somewhere else.

Here is my suggested roster split idea...........make one show full of "main-event virgins", while the other show gets stacked with people who have been World Champions. This will help eliminate the glass ceiling.

Basically - Smackdown's main guys will be people who haven't won the world title, but have a strong chance to one day. Raw's main guys however, will be stacked with guys who have been multiple World Champions (or have won the World title before).

Smackdown
-Eddie Guerrero (the only person on SD who has been world champ before)
-Kane (I won't count Kane's one day title reign in 1998)
-RVD
-Edge
-John Cena
-Randy Orton
-Dave Batista
-Booker T
-Christian w/Trish Stratus
-Matt Hardy/Hurricane/Spike Dudley (get put in the CW division)

Raw
-Triple H
-Goldberg (if the WWE sign him).
-Shawn Michaels
-Stone Cold Steve Austin
-Undertaker
-Chris Jericho
-Big Show
-Chris Benoit
-Kurt Angle
-The Rock (when he appears)
-Mick Foley (when he appears)
-Ric Flair
-Brock Lesnar (if he ever comes back)
-Sable (with Brock and Vince no longer eating her out on Smackdown, she can move to Raw with the other women)
-Torrie/Dawn Marie/other women: Can move to Raw to compensate for the departures of the "CW's" from Raw.

Other than that, I'd like to see everything stay the same.

Oh yeah.....I'd also do the following:

-Break up La Resistance: They are gay. I'd put them on separate shows and give them new gimmicks.

-Break up WGTT (Hass/Benjamin): Both men are talented wrestlers. With different gimmicks and identities, both men could become future stars on their respective shows.

-If the rosters are unbalanced in terms of #'s (the way I made it), then balance it out by sending a few mid-carders to the other show.
