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

Its about ****ing time!!!!!!! Damn you've pissed me off so many times with that shit!


As for the rest of your ideas...

Yeah, thats a good idea for sure. And any new talent should basically not be fed to current talent on the SD roster *coughundertakercough* Any current talent can easily be pushed to the top and accepted, but it's much more difficult for fans to accept new guys. Mordecai does not need to be fed to the Undertaker especially. He has a kickass gimmick and I haven't even seen all of his promo's. I look forward to seeing him in live situations.

Yeah that is another obvious idea also. I think that Big Show is an adequate main eventer when he is actually trying to perform well though. But SD is definately lacking in the heels department.

I would personally enjoy a Undertaker ministry type stable, but I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't work out. RVD as an extreme heel would be the best choice though. I really want to see a Heel ECW stable on Smackdown with Paul E. in charge. I've said before that I don't think redoing stuff that was successful in ECW might not be a good idea. But RVD is directionless on SD right now, and I know that with Heyman at his side, WWE could see a side of RVD we haven't seen yet. A small ECW stable would be a great addition to SD IMO.

No, just NO!!!!! The NAO would be a terrible idea, because we've already seen them reform like twice and both times haven't been successful at all when they try to reunite. I personally think they are the most overrated tag team in history.

Damn, you're an idiot! The CW division is fine right now. Chavo is a great champion, but the WWE needs to not do stupid ass things like putting that belt on Jaqueline (sp?) I agree that Cruisers should be also going after tag titles or the US title, but that doesn't mean that the CW belt should be eliminated? I would keep the belt around just for the thought of seeing another Chavo/Rey match. The only problem I have with the CW division is when Rey is booked to look like he is superior to the rest of the division. Chavo has been built up good, but people like Noble, Kidman, London, and others need to be booked to look stronger even if they aren't currently going after the title.

Yeah, lets take the most over guy on the roster and the only one who is actually a draw, and turn him against the fans? Sometimes I don't know how you can be such an idiot? Eddie needs to be pushed HUGE on SD because right now he is the only legitimate main eventer who could do the main event scene any justice. UT is too old, and only a "special attraction" Angle might not be back, and no one else is really an over main eventer yet. Bottom line: Eddie needs to be kept in the main event scene and needs to be someone that the fans want to see. Maybe when someone can adequately replace him, he could do a heel turn. But right now, He just cannot be turned heel. IMO, the WWE has no choice but to keep Eddie on top of the SD roster.



Also I believe that Booker T needs to be pushed to the top and he needs it fast. I promise that he will be a better main event heel than Bradshaw could ever be. My picks for top heels on SD would have to be Booker T and an "extreme" RVD with Heyman at his side. I actually think that a really important thing would be for Paul E. to get involved with SD as much as possible. Both on screen and off that is. SD was awesome a couple years ago when Heyman was reportadly doing alot of the writing. And I like the way RAW usually gives us one or two matches to look forward for the next show. One thing I am really enjoying right now by the way is Rico/Haas team. I just think they are hilarious. I also think that Cena needs to become more prominant. He has the chance to be a HUGE superstar like Rock, but he is just so stale right now. WWE needs to let him shock and piss people off like Stone Cold used to do. Shock Value is always a good way to get attention, and letting Cena say what he wants (with the exception of words like **** and shit like that) Have Cena become wild and out of control. He is probably the only person besides Guerrero on SD that is capable of being a draw. Cena could easily be SD's main star very soon, but the show needs to revolve more arround him than it does right now. Right now Cena is being treated like a midcarder unlike Orton on RAW who is obviously being treated as a big deal. Cena needs to interact more in the main event, and needs to quit being so stale and watered down.

1) New Age Outlaws: I think it would be good to get back Road Dogg, because it would make BABG useful again (seems like the WWE doesn't want to release him). New Age Outlaws would be good for live crowds because they like singing along. The team can also be used to put over up-and-coming teams. Also - NAO acted like faces when they were supposed to be heels last time. That's why their last run (and DX in general) didn't work during their re-unification. This time around however, NAO would clearly be face.

2) CW division: Ideally, the CW division would be run like the women's division on Raw (i.e, "a league of their own mentality", multiple champions, plentiful TV time, solid matches, etc.). Instead - the WWE has made their CW division a joke. They have ALWAYS had this mentality. I don't think this will change. Because I think it won't change, I think they are better off cancelling the entire division, and replacing it with the Hardcore 24/7 division. This way, more guys get TV time. Also - the Hardcore Division can provide for some good comedic relief (might be good for TV).

CW matches can still exist in the form of tag matches, and random singles matches. The rest of the Cruiserweights can be used to add depth to the other divisions (i.e. US division, hardcore division, tag team division).

Right now - it almost seems that if you're labelled a "CW", you will never be capable of winning the World title. With Guerrero becoming champ recently, the WWE can really erase this mentality (and prove that 'small guys' can still become champ).

3) Big Show: Big Show is a decent heel main-eventer, but the fans don't really "care" about him.....like they do an Angle, Lesnar, The Rock, Austin, Triple H, or Undertaker. Show has been a heel champ before (and it didn't do anything for ratings), and at a time when SD could use something new (change for the better), I think a popular face turning heel (and becoming champ) would be ideal.

4) Eddie Guerrero as a heel opposed to some others: I chose Eddie to become a heel champ for the following reasons:

a) Eddie Guerrero is a tremendous wrestler who can carry anyone: As a heel champ, he could easily have great feuds with the likes of Taker, Hass, Cena, and RVD. If he was face, he'd have to feud with Big Show, Bradshaw, Booker T, and Dupree. I think it's obvious where the "higher profile" opponents are.

b) The fans love Eddie, but I'm also certain that they'll have no problem chanting "Eddie sucks!" (would they do this with Taker or RVD?).

c) With Eddie re-aligned with Chavo, it could inadvertently get the CW division over again. Since Chavo could be CW champ (and be associated with Eddie), perhaps the CW title could look more important......especially if Eddie helped Chavo out in some of his matches.


d) While Eddie is a super popular face right now, it's not like guys like Cena, RVD, and Taker can't be just as popular. Much later on in the year if a guy like RVD feuds with Eddie (after getting a respectable build up), he can easily be just as popular as Eddie is now.

I'm not in total support of the Guerrero heel turn (I'm just speculating as to who would be the best one to 'turn' out of Guerrero, Cena,Taker, and RVD).
