My own personal suggestions:

1) Turn Cena...soon. Not immediately, but before this character becomes entirely too stale to the mainstream fans. He'd get monster heat and an Eddie/Cena feud would carry you through the end of the yea.

2) Undertaker should be pushed as though he's basically a force of nature; destroying anything in his path regardless of face or heel. Tweener doesn't even capture it: if he's going with the Deadman gimmick than even his name should strike the fear of God in you. Upon his return, Big Show should joinhim a a two man Ministry deal.

3) Legitimize the CW division. Chavo is a great champion. They need to create some more legit contenders; Shannon Moore and Nova could both be given nice winning streaks to get them some heat.

4) Keep pushing the parts of Smackdown that are working: Rico/Haas, Rene Dupree uber-heel, Mark Jindrak as The Narcissist, and the Rey/RVD team.

5) GO LIVE...no just kidding. That's a fallacy. Ratings don't go up and a pre-taped show has the benefit of editing which should help with show quality if the WWE was more careful in its production. Plus, UPN would never allow run-overs and would be incredibly paranoid about content.
1. Naw, man, they just need to not sugar coat him. Make him the badass anti-hero type. He can be something like Austin. A face who getscheered for doing heelish things, someone who doesn't give a fuck about the lines he crosses.

2. Taker could very well end up hurting Smackdown. I'm afraid he's gonna kill some of the younger superstars.

3. This could work. The problem is, pushing cruisserweights goes against the notion that "Big men sell."

4. And rework the rest. Perfectly sensible. When somethign works, run with it.

5. Yeah. Ever since the "Monday Night Wars," it's been a mindset that if it's live, it's better.. Which is funny, since Smackdown was beating out Raw for quite some time there. That would indicate that it's less to do with the nature of the show (Live/Taped), but with the quality of the content.

However, some people are stupid, and will carry on, ramming headlong into a brick wall...
