[MVP]

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).

I see what you're saying, but HHH is the only heel that is ever gonna be the main focus for a significant amount of time since he runs the show. Edge might get a World Title run which would be great, but it's likely to be short, second-fiddle to whatever HHH is doing, or both. I love Snitsky, and I want to see him be a serious upper midcarder/main eventer, but with his inevitable JOB to Kane coming up that's likely to kill his momentum.

Then there's Muhammed Hussan who I have really high hopes for, and he's probably gonna go over Jericho at NYR; which I think is a GREAT idea because Jericho is still credible in even the casual fans' eyes, and like you said, would put over an up-and-comer.

I'm still against Angle's turn despite your points because they're valid. Show and Booker being used to put over up-and-comers similar to HBK and Jericho on RAW.

After seeing LC's post about the ratings, Angle is really the only main-event heel that can draw, and to turn him baby would really kill anything the heels on SD have going for them. Don't get me wrong guys like CCC, Dupree, and Reigns are great heels, but
they're not in Angle's standing.

I know heels are supposed to be hated, but JBL's drawing power cannot stand alone or else we have another Diesel on our hands.
