DISCUSSION - Is it best for business for Triple H to head to Smackdown after WM-21?

Bret actually put Austin over week after week after week, Ive yet to see Hunter do that with anyone, so no, your comparison has no validity. Beyond that, there were early indications that Austin was getting over in terms of house show numbers and merchandise sales.

But even with Austin, it took well over a year of having Austin kill everyone before he actually started to make a big impact in TV and PPV numbers. Nobody on RAW will ever get that kind of push as long as HHH is around.

And again you talk about guys on SD having no credibility, but you are just being biased, because the exact same thing can be said for the RAW guys. Eddie is the only guy in the company who has shown an ability to increase ticket sales, and he's on SD.

Guys on RAW will always have the issue of HHH to deal with. As long as he's around, nobody will get over on him, and nobody will become a star like Austin did with Bret. With Hassan, I dont see how beating Jerihco will mean anything, because Jericho is a worthless character right now, just like everyone else.

On SD there are still problems because of Taker, and to a lesser extent Angle, but at least Angle will JOB, and Taker can be fed telentless big guys to allow others to get over.
