Hunter Heyman Hindu's Solution:
1) Push Kane Knight off a cliff.
2) Keep the brand split....COMMIT to it. However - do NOT have a draft every 13-16 months. Instead - make a COMMITMENT to a "solidified" roster split. If a guy is on Smackdown, he's on fucking Smackdown. Period. No showing up on the "other" show, no being draft to another show half-a-year later.
3) Have a lottery draft every 4 years...maybe 3.
4) Eliminate ECW (or the "3rd" show). The presence of a 3rd brand does nothing but hurt the depth of the other two brands. Eliminate ECW and disperse the talent to RAW and Smackdown. Or hell - have ECW take over Smackdown and just call the show 'ECW'.
5) Create a real rivalry between the two (now DISTINCT) brands. Have Shane manage one of the shows and have Stephanie manage the other. We should see a real "cold war" between the brands (i.e. planned backstage attacks every now and then). This "heated rivalry" between the brands can then play over on certain PPV's.
6) Have the winner of the 30-man Royal Rumble become World Champion of his respective brand. Let's face it. The 30-man Royal Rumble IS the main-event at the Royal Rumble. People could careless about the "world title" match. Hence - make the 30-man Royal Rumble worth something. The winner not only wins the world title of his respective brand, but he also is a "lock" for the final main-event match at Wrestlemania. Furthermore - he becomes the automatic 'special guest referee' at the other brand's main-event PPV match for the world title in February.
7) At Wrestlemania, the two world champions of each brand face one another. No title is up for line, but the winner gets a huge trophy and a (fictitious) $1,000,000.
8) Now that RAW and Smackdown are COMPLETELY DISTINCT (as I established earlier...due to the lottery draft now being held every 4 years, combined with the fact that wrestlers can't just "show up" on another show and wrestle in matches, etc.), add "fire" to the interbrand PPV's.
King Of The Ring: At King of The Ring, the winner of RAW's "tournament" (held on RAW) vs. the winner of Smackdown's "tournament" (held on Smackdown) face each other at KOTR....to determine the one TRUE king of the Ring of the WWE. Not only does this add to the RAW/SD competition (and bragging rights), but it also gives that ONE person the distinction of being "the next big thing."
Survivor Series: Main-event match. The best 5 wrestlers from RAW vs. The best 5 wrestlers from Smackdown. Not just any 5....THE best 5. The winner of this match gets some kind of reward (i.e. the next up-coming talent from the minors or something).
Anyway - those are some solutions that I have.
