But WWE are so protective of their stars that I don't see that happening.

If Orton can't break into the top tier, Punk doesn't have a chance.

Discuss.
The roster split is a joke...even ignoring the fact that half the wrestlers show up on other shows anyways. If it was up to me, here is what would happen...and why the shows would be better.

1) Each show would have a distinct identity...a unique value proposition of some kind.

2) Rosters would be far more fixed...with very limited roster movement. Movements would occur via trade. Drafts would only be held every 2 years - 30 months.

3) There would be a far greater rivalry between the 3 shows (I would actually make it 2 brands....with the 3rd show being a show where anyone could appear on). At the very best, we would see a flat out war between the two shows. At the very least, we would see a bitter cold war...with major tensions at joint PPV's.

4) The rivalry between the now two brands would lead to some more 'competitive' specialty PPV's. For example - the best 5 wrestlers from Smackdown take on the best 5 wrestlers from RAW...with the winner getting a lottery pick or something. Another example - bringing back King of The Ring. The winner of the tourney on RAW would face the winner of the tourney from Smackdown.....and would face one another at a KOTR PPV to determine who the real king is.

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.
