1) New Age Outlaws: I think it would be good to get back Road Dogg, because it would make BABG useful again (seems like the WWE doesn't want to release him). New Age Outlaws would be good for live crowds because they like singing along. The team can also be used to put over up-and-coming teams. Also - NAO acted like faces when they were supposed to be heels last time. That's why their last run (and DX in general) didn't work during their re-unification. This time around however, NAO would clearly be face.

2) CW division: Ideally, the CW division would be run like the women's division on Raw (i.e, "a league of their own mentality", multiple champions, plentiful TV time, solid matches, etc.). Instead - the WWE has made their CW division a joke. They have ALWAYS had this mentality. I don't think this will change. Because I think it won't change, I think they are better off cancelling the entire division, and replacing it with the Hardcore 24/7 division. This way, more guys get TV time. Also - the Hardcore Division can provide for some good comedic relief (might be good for TV).

CW matches can still exist in the form of tag matches, and random singles matches. The rest of the Cruiserweights can be used to add depth to the other divisions (i.e. US division, hardcore division, tag team division).

Right now - it almost seems that if you're labelled a "CW", you will never be capable of winning the World title. With Guerrero becoming champ recently, the WWE can really erase this mentality (and prove that 'small guys' can still become champ).

3) Big Show: Big Show is a decent heel main-eventer, but the fans don't really "care" about him.....like they do an Angle, Lesnar, The Rock, Austin, Triple H, or Undertaker. Show has been a heel champ before (and it didn't do anything for ratings), and at a time when SD could use something new (change for the better), I think a popular face turning heel (and becoming champ) would be ideal.

4) Eddie Guerrero as a heel opposed to some others: I chose Eddie to become a heel champ for the following reasons:

a) Eddie Guerrero is a tremendous wrestler who can carry anyone: As a heel champ, he could easily have great feuds with the likes of Taker, Hass, Cena, and RVD. If he was face, he'd have to feud with Big Show, Bradshaw, Booker T, and Dupree. I think it's obvious where the "higher profile" opponents are.

b) The fans love Eddie, but I'm also certain that they'll have no problem chanting "Eddie sucks!" (would they do this with Taker or RVD?).

c) With Eddie re-aligned with Chavo, it could inadvertently get the CW division over again. Since Chavo could be CW champ (and be associated with Eddie), perhaps the CW title could look more important......especially if Eddie helped Chavo out in some of his matches.


d) While Eddie is a super popular face right now, it's not like guys like Cena, RVD, and Taker can't be just as popular. Much later on in the year if a guy like RVD feuds with Eddie (after getting a respectable build up), he can easily be just as popular as Eddie is now.

I'm not in total support of the Guerrero heel turn (I'm just speculating as to who would be the best one to 'turn' out of Guerrero, Cena,Taker, and RVD).
