Save wrestling? Maybe not, but here's how we save Smackdown!

[Kane Knight]

Two words: Negro league.

Now, naturally we don't call it that. However, Smackdown's taking a clearly more "Urban" approach to their storylines, with a ghetto GM and a champion who raps. Since the idea of a black champion is laughable in the WWE, people like Shelton really don't stand a chance in the title scene.

While blacks aren't horribly prominent on Smackdown right now, the way has been paved by promininant Latinos. Perfect for that urban feel, and it gets their asses away from the real show.

So now we have a problem: Getting all the minorities over on Smackdown. This allows them to move Angle and JBL to Raw to continue their respective feuds over there. Bring Shelton over, and push him over Orlando Jordan for the US title. Start switching more wrestler's themes to rap, and slowly start weeding out the whites. Cena can stay, since we wants to be black anyway. Bring the Rock back to Smackdown!, and have him feud with Cena, who calls him "Uncle Tom."

Heidenreich can stay as well, as he's the steretypical white boy. Crazy, angry, ready to job. Replace michael Cole with 50 Cent (They're both about equally monotone) and have Tazz fake an outlandish mexican accent, and behave like a stereotypical lazy mexican. Open the ring up a bit more so that the "driveby finish" can be pulled off with minimal effort. In fact, put the ring on hydraulics.

I think given the current environment, this could sell well, especially if it was simulcast in ebonics.
