Best Raw Wrestler that could save Smackdown
I think its pretty much obvious that RAW has much better wrestlers than Smackdown, infact it seems whenever an average wrestler moves from Smackdown to Raw they become amazing. i.e. Chris Beniot & Shelton Benjamin. Smackdown has great storylines but its wrestlers are running low, for starters, they have a 'average' champion. Who do you think could be sent over to Smackdown and create massive fire works.
MINE: Randy Orton. Everyone has been broadcasting for Smackdown V. Raw about him and John Cena fighting, Cena could become heel and then they have a massive storyline where Orton goes for the United States championship. Who do you could make be sent to Smackdown to make it better? |

Chris Jericho could save it. Christian could as well, just as long as they pushed him and kept with his push.

I gotta say Kane also.
If you put Y2J or Xtian on SD! they'd just be used for one tiny push & then go the way of Eddie G. I can see the Xtian/Haas fueds now |

I personally would have picked Shawn Michaels. Then add Garrison Cade when he returns. Out of that list, Jericho is my first pick, with Triple H in the #2 slot. Rock (and Foley) should be their by default for random appearances, because like it or not, RAW doesn't need the help they provide as much as SmackDown! (I will give my left nut to see Rock and Foley on SmackDown! permanently).
Kane is a weird one. One would think he would do good there, and I would probably enjoy his work there (especially if he got the mask back), but there is just something about Kane and his character that scream RAW to me. |

Benoit. Legit main eventer who puts on great matches.
The best way to save the product is to put on great matches. Revolve the main event scene around Eddie, Kurt, Benoit and Booker T and thats a great start. |

I'm seriously saying HHH. He may be eating the company away like some kind of Xenomorph acid-blood, but he's still a huge draw. Besides.....if he's not on Raw, at least I'll be a little bit happier.

man I say nobody. SmackDown! needs nobody from Raw to "save" it. They ahve all the talent in teh world there. I mena the talent pool in there in comparison to Raw, SmackDown! has the better talent.
Smackdown! has the ability to put on the most awesome matches in professional wrestling. the problem is not the wrestlers but the booking team and creative writers in the back that give the SmackDown guys to complete and utter crap to do that we see on TV. It's Vince and company tellin folks to slow down in the ring so that they don't outshine the main eventers cause they can't move like that and they are supposed to be the big money makers. So SmackDown! needs nobody from Raw, as far as wrestlers go. All they need are better stories and booking then SmackDown! will totally dominate over Raw and show just how superior it really is. |

If it's Cena vs. Orton, Cena should be (face) WWE Champ by now. Orton should come in as the heel he was in Evolution. Cocky, stuck up, etc. Have him challenge Cena for the WWE title.
That's one way. The other way would be some sort of interpromotional style match. Face vs. face would be nice as well. But if Orton was face, I'd definitely favour Cena. I can't stand Orton right now. |

SmackDown's lower card talent is way deeper than RAW's. They don't need people to jump from RAW, they need to better utilize the guys they already have. Check this out:
I'm going to consider the "lower card" to be everyone outside of each brand's "top five" guys. RAW's Main Eventers: Chris Benoit, Edge, Randy Orton, Shawn Michaels, Triple H SmackDown Main Event: Booker T, Eddie Guerrero, John Cena, John Bradshaw Layfield, Undertaker RAW's Lower Card: Batista, Chris Jericho, Christian, Eugene, Garrison Cade, Gene Snitsky, Kane, Mark Henry, Matt Hardy, Maven, Rhyno, Ric Flair, Rob Conway, Rosey, Shelton Benjamin, Steven Richards, Sylvain Grenier, Tajiri, The Hurricane, Tyson Tomko, Val Venis, and William Regal SmackDown's Lower Card: Akio, Big Show, Billy Kidman, Bubba Ray Dudley, Carlito Caribbean Cool, Charlie Haas, Chavo Guerrero, D-Von Dudley, Daniel Puder, Danny Basham, Doug Basham, Funaki, Hardcore Holly, Heidenreich, Jesus, Kenzo Suzuki, Kurt Angle, Luther Reigns, Mark Jindrak, Nunzio, Orlando Jordan, Paul London, Rene Dupree, Rey Mysterio, Rob Van Dam, Scotty 2 Hotty, Shannon Moore, and Spike Dudley NOTE: I included Angle among the "lower card," as he has spent most of his time there over the last couple of months due to injuries. Just think if one-third of the "lower card" SmackDown wrestlers were used properly. They have a phenomenal tag team roster (Dudleyz, Bashams, Mysterio/RVD, Reigns/Jindrak, Dupree/Suzuki, and Carlito/Jesus could all conceivably have the gold at this point). The cruiserweights are always capable of stealing the show (if booked right). |

I picked Batista.
He's untapped as a main eventer, and would provide SD with a fresh new and legitimate main eventer. If you throw in Lesnar, the two of them could build up to a helluva program. Problem with guys like Jericho and Benoit is that they have been damaged by HHH and RAW, and I dont think fans take them seriously as potential draws. |

Orton and Batista wolud be huge in SD! Randy can come in as a stuck-up prick and after all he has at least 2 more legends to kill Angle and Taker. Batista can go after the wwe title.

I forgot about Shawn Michaels, I was struggling to think of wrestlers near the end. Shawn Michaels would be good on smackdown, i think.

Things to do or should of been done to help (not going to say "save") SmackDown:
1) WWE Heavyweight Title - JBL needs to lose the title. I understand what they're trying to do with him but the title picture on SD has gotten stale. They need to do something to breathe life back into it. I personally am not a big fan of his but I propose a John Cena title reign. He's pretty much the number one face on SD. This of course would lead to JBL feuding with Cena to regain "his" title. 2) John Cena should of never of gone to do a WWE movie. Why at that point in time did WWE decide, "this is pretty good time to pull our top face on our suffering show to go do a movie for us that will probably bomb." And while I'm talking about Cena, what was the point of him feuding with Booker T for the US title? After Booker won the title Cena should of been off after the WWE Heavyweight title. 3) I would build up the Cruiserweight division to rival the X Division of TNA. Any reason why we are letting our up and coming competition thrive off of the X Division while we have a pretty kick ass CW division ourselves? Why don't we use what we have instead of letting it go to waste? The fact that WWE had one of the world's best CW's voluntarily leave our company (Spanky) because he realised he was wasting his time here should of sent them a message. 4) Next I would build up the Tag Team division to actually mean something instead of it being the giant pile of crap it is right now. I'm talking about having established Tag Teams like the Dudley Boys, the Bashams, and not just throwing two people together like Dupree and Suzuki. This is something WWE has been missing for a few years. Think back to the days when there was actually a Tag Team division and the Tag Titles really meant something. Think about teams like the Steiners, Harlem Heat, Midnight Express, Rock & Roll Express, the Orient Express, the Smoking Gunns, the Bushwhackers, the British Bulldogs, LOD, the Road Warriors, DOA, etc... These are teams whose sole purpose was the tag team gold not individual gold. 5) As far as people I would like to pull from Raw to place on SD my top choices would be Rhyno, Hurricane, & Tajiri. Rhyno - I would push him as a heel and as the man beast that he was in ECW. I would have him capture the US title and then move into the Heavyweight title picture. Hurricane - Raw is doing zilch with him, he's a great talent and the Hurricane would help to strengthen the CW division. In addition to that his superhero gimmick could find new life and be really over in the CW division. Tajiri - Raw is doing zilch with him, he's a great talent and Tajiri would help to strengthen the CW division. |

![]() think about it Christian vs. Mysterio..Christian on the mic insulting mysterio would be priceless Jericho is my second choice just because He would probably get a good title run on Smackdown. Jericho vs. Angle would be classic |

Seriously, I'd just send Shawn Michaels, Christian, Chris Jericho, Randy Orton, Garrison Cade, Rhyno, Tajiri, The Hurricane and Rosey over there tomorrow if it were up to me. RAW has a lot of extra talent that could really aid Smackers.
