DISCUSSION - Should Tazz become the "Ric Flair" of Smackdown and wrestle part-time?

-If I understand correctly, Tazz wasn't "forced" to retire due to injury. He simply chose to become a color commentator because the WWE creative team had no direction for his character.

-At a time when Smackdown could use a 'well known' wrestler to compete, don't you think it would be a good idea to have Tazz wrestle part-time? (kind of like Flair on Raw). Tazz is very over with the fans. Because he has been a color commentator for a number of years now, Tazz should be able to garner very good crowd responses....heel or face.

-I'm also in favor of the idea of having Tazz becoming the "motivating factor" in getting RVD to turn heel and go after the WWE title. Here's what I'm thinking: Somewhere along the line, Tazz gets pissed at the fact that ex-ECW talent are 'underachieving' on Smackdown (himself included!). Tazz then gets the Dudleys and eventually RVD together to form a 4 man "ECW" stable.

-Tazz not only helps the Dudleys regain the title, but he helps RVD defeat Eddie Guerrero to become the new WWE champion. Furthermore, Tazz (with help from his stable mates) defeats John Cena to become the NEW United States Champion.

-So basically --> Tazz, RVD, Buh Buh Ray, and D'Von become the "Evolution of Smackdown" (but they refer to themselves as "ECW"). These 4 men become the dominant heel stable on Smackdown. Replacing Tazz as color commentator, would be Paul Heyman (or Theodore Long.....Mark Jindrak doesn't really need him IMO).

An EXTENSION to this idea, would be to have this "ECW" stable be in the 'good books' of Kurt Angle. Therefore - these 4 guys convince Angle to make more trades with Bischoff......to get MORE ex-ECW talent to Smackdown (so this way, guys like Rhyno, Taijiri, and Tommy Dreamer can join them as well).
