So I don't mind if Angle or Taker were to job cleanly to JBL out of concern for making the WWE title look good once it's finally passed along.

Totally agree obviously in regards to "establishing" JBL. Like I said before - if JBL gets jobbed out of the title (while not getting a clean victory), then this last half year or so will be a COMPLETE waste.

I'm against the idea of turning Angle face because it would create two problems: First there would be too many faces on Smackdown in the main event/upper midcard which is exactly what happened to RAW. The only heels on Smackdown besides JBL would be Luther Reigns, Orlando Jordan, Mark Jindrak, Rene Dupree, and Kenzo Suzuki, all of whom are decent wrestlers, but too green to be main eventers.

If Angle made the turn, then I would hope that someone like RVD (SD's equivalent of Edge) could turn to counter it. RVD could then get pushed, while guys like Luther Reins, Billy Kidman, and Charlie Hass "stepped it up" as heels (for a huge push in the nearby future........kinda like the equivalent of Mohammad Hussan, Maven, and Gene Snitsky on RAW).

Ideally - you would have Booker T, Big Show,....and even Kurt Angle playing a similar role to what Kane, Benoit, and Jericho do on RAW (i.e. have the "appearance" of being a main-eventer, but being used primarily to 'put over' up-and-comers). Ditto for Undertaker (he'd be a bit "higher up" however.......kinda like HBK on RAW). Still - he'd be another guy who would put others over (maybe a small title reign before that though).

Finally - you'd have Cena and Eddie Guerrero (basically - your Orton and soon-to-be Batista equivalent).......going after JBL (the Triple H equivalent......if he gets victories over "credible" wrestlers).

As far as RAW is concerned, I'm not quite sure what you're talking about.

Faces
-Benoit
-Orton
-Jericho
-HBK
-Kane

Heels
-Triple H
-Edge
-Batista
-Snitsky (victory over Kane earns the "mention").

Along with that, you have guys like Simon Dean, Maven, and Mohammad Hussan who are emerging (which to some degree, will help counter Batista's up-and-coming turn).

As for JBL's theme, it's one of my favorites on Smackdown.

JBL has a good theme, but it's not.............."main-event" music in my opinion (don't know if that makes sense or not).


Basically - I've always felt that a "main-event" type theme should be more "forceful"......or something that can get the crowd's attention right away.

I'm not sure if JBL's music is really like that. I dunno.
