To a large degree, I agree with both Kayfabeman and Corkscrewed. Not only would Smackdown 'most likely' be booked to look inferior, but the WWE also (for whatever reason) avoids 'solid feuds'.
Personally - I just don't see why the WWE doesn't just do the obvious.
A) It's obvious that the fans LOVE it when the brands 'interact' with one another. I'm not even advocating a roster unification here. Just some more "interaction". For one year (and one year only), wouldn't you agree that ratings and fan interest could potentially SOAR?......if we saw a RAW/Smackdown feud? After that? - things can go back to the way they are now (except with a 'cold war' between the two brands). Basically - a RAW/Smackdown year long (or even 8 month long) feud could act as a CATALYST for higher ratings.
B) Cena vs. Batista. Fuck the whole Batista/Lesnar or Orton/Cena "dream" match-ups. Cena and Batista is what the fans would be interested in *NOW*.
The funny thing is, Theodore Long on RAW spoke the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
-Cena and Batista are the two hottest commodities in the WWE right now.
-Cena and Batista perhaps have the potential to be the next 'great' feud.
For one year, and one year only...........I think the WWE should "blow their load" so to speak.
-Lets see more interpromotional matches and feuds due to the RAW/Smackdown feud.
-Lets see SD wrestlers attacking RAW wrestlers backstage on RAW and vice-versa. Lets see some 'gang' wars.
-Lets see a Cena/Batista match at Wrestlemania 22. Cena....the pride of Smackdown. Batista....the pride of RAW. Martry vs. Martyr. Blue chipper vs. Blue Chipper. Fan Favorite vs. Fan Favorite.
