But Triple H isn't really worth anything more than anyone else on the roster.

The last 2 PPVs were headlined by HHH vs Benoit and Guerrero vs JBL, the show with JBL and Eddie drew a better number.

Also, HHH has put over Benoit many times, including the "bgiggest show of all time" and I dont think anyone would argue Benoit is the biggest star in the company.

So doing some wierd angle that will make the brand extension look worthless just to get HHH to do a JOB for Cena or Eddie is really rather pointless. Eddie's already on the same level on PPV in terms of drawing power and Cena has yet to be put in that position, but I'm sure when he is he'll do fine.

The other problem is Eugene, the program with HHH and Eugene cant end at Summerslam it has to go for at least 3 months to keep HHH busy and to justify all the TV time they've given those guys. So what do you do? Move Eugene to SD as well?

And I cant tell you how much I hate the idea of only certain guys being able to work on both shows, it makes no sense.

I agree with you about Hunter being a face, (even though I dont think he makes a particularly great babyface) given the movie commitments and Orton winning the title at Summerslam, I think HHH has to be the face going into Mania. If Orton was the one doing the chasing then I woudl switch it, but since they seem to be going with Orton as champ at SS, Hunter has to turn.

Benoit as a heel? I dont like it. I dont see him getting over as a silent ass kicking heel. For one, they wont book him strong enough, and second that gimmick rarely works in the WWE. I really hope he winds up back on SD at some point in the near future.

As for Ortiz, he still has a couple of fights left on his deal with UFC, and if memory serves me, he's guarnteed $250,000 per fight. He wont make nearly that much in the WWE, unless he takes off as a main eventer.

I know he's friends with Mysterio, and I think he'll get a deal if he wants it, and being friends with Mysterio would probably put him on SD. But HHH could always decide he wants to beat a "real fighter" and Ortiz would go to RAW. Personally I'd put him on SD (thats assuming he's any good in the ring and actually wants to come in).
