DISCUSSION - How can Smackdown become a BETTER show in your OPINION?

Yeah, thought not. Austin may be good for a draw, but if he's used like he was on Raw, he'll just serve to decimate the rest of the roster. Goldberg, I hate to say, has put asses in the seats in the past. He might be able to do the same. They do need some star power. Unfortunately, neither of these choices has me doing handsprings.

Nah - If Austin comes back to the WWE, he'd BETTER not be used in the 'sherriff' role. I only want him back if he can physically wrestle again (like Shawn Michaels is doing now).

Here's what I'm thinking: Austin still has some high profile matches left.

-He has never fought Hulk Hogan
-He has never fought Goldberg
-He has never fought Brock Lesnar (I have my fingers crossed that his football tryout fails ).

All 3 of these matches could still draw potentially HUGE PPV buyrates. Add to the fact, that "new" guys like Cena and Orton can fight Austin one day (once they become main-eventers).


I'm not sure what the condition on Austin's neck is, but is it possible for him to have his neck fused again? Yes - he'd be out for 10 months again, but he could then work full-time again (when Austin came back in late 00', he was around for almost a year and a half......and worked harder than anyone in 01').

What if Austin had the surgery that Angle had last year? Angle went strong from a few months before Summerslam, to Wrestlemania.

Going live would do nothing.

You want to know what hurts Smackdown the MOST?

It's their choice of colors. The Blue ropes wreck Smackdown.
