Wow, Smackdown really got screwed

Man, you do sound like Heyman.

1) This is not a bad idea. But that seems to be where the WWE are going with the draft this year. RAW is for the top names, the "draws" and the entertainment guys, while SmackDown! largely gets the pure wrestlers. ECW will probably again be a pen for veterans to help ease in new kids.

I'd love for each General Manager to actually get a philosophy for their shows going, but right now it's there, just understated.

2) I love the idea of fixed rosters. I don't mind it when there is an exception every now and then, but I definitely think a more fixed split is the way to go if you are splitting things. But no, the draft being held every year is good.

3) The third show being used for both sort of contradicts the whole "fixed rosters" thing. But I'd be lying if I said that more competition between the brands didn't intrigue me, in the very least.

4) More specialty events in general would entice people to buy PPVs, I believe. Unforgiven picked up the Scramble Match concept last year, which I definitely think is an interesting one. The Royal Rumble, No Way Out and WrestleMania all have their shticks. Night of Champions also has its, but I wish the WWE would replace one of their June PPVs with King of the Ring.
