How to give SmackDown! some name power...

[darkpower]

Oh, I have to say something concerning this, as well.

I think that, seeing a thread title for Edge, I remembered about something I was thinking about for some time.

Maybe they want Edge to use the Money In The Bank for WM 22 because they want SmackDown to win the Royal Rumble this year and have THE Main Event at WrestleMania this year. I would think thatr this could be a very good way to give SD more name power, and if they don't have that in mind, to consider it.

Reason it would work is because RAW has been the holder of the Rumble victory AND thus the WM Main Event for two years in a row. That may have given them the big name reconigion, because of the calibur that Vince wants WM to be. And since they should make Edge want his shot at a PPV, and I don't see him using it for Royal Rumble, and No Way Out, as far as I know, will be SD again, so then next time he could do it on a PPV is Mania. That will leave the door open for SD to get that name power by winning that slot for the WM ME.

The timeslot hasn't affected ratings.

This is what needs to be done by all at WWE to make Smackdown a better show.

#Make it live on Friday Nights.
#Bring in someone big like Mick Foley to be General Manager. (Keep T Long in another capacity.)
#Have more Cruiserweight matches. (about 2 every week).
#Have Ken Kennedy (Sorry Mr), do a chat show type segment called The Kennedy Show, and make it controversial).
#Make Lashley a contender to the WHC.
#Bring back the Hardcore Title and put it on SD. This would make it a wee bit like the old days.

It'll probably never happen, but HBK should go to SD and Taker should go to RAW.

Taker hasn't been on RAW for years, so there might be some novelty there, and he could work with HHH.

HBK would be great on SD, especially if Orton is champion. Orton-HBK would be great way to help establish Orton as champion.

Ken Kennedy's Korner.

I mean, I don't know..It is so obvious that Smackdown is struggling at the moment, and due to some unfortunate events SD is not in good shape with Hassan being 'banned' (it was their fault though with the whole 'terrorist' angle, and it was also bad timing), Christian quitting (they should have capitalized on his crowd reactions and kept him happy), Batista and Kennedy being hurt (not their fault), Eddie passing away (RIP ).

So you would figure that they would ask Taker to be involved in each show just to add some star power. Also, I noticed, he's not even in the beginning intro to SD anymore. It's rediculous, I mean I'm as big of a Taker mark as you can get, but the guy has wrestling 2 matches in 3 months.
