Realistic last-minute trades between RAW + SD!
I would go with...

Hurricane/Rosey/Stacy Kiebler
FOR
Mercury/Nitro/Melina

- swapping the tag champs could be a good idea...

Tomko/Grenier/Simon Dean
FOR
Heidenreich

- Heidenreich is made out to seem important... Sending 3 low-midcarders over for him is a good idea... This allows for Snitsky/Heidenreich on RAW, Grenier/Dupree, Tomko/Morgan on SD! and something new for Simon Dean to develop...

Tajiri
FOR
Haas

- Realistic trade sending Tajiri to the cruiserweight division and Haas to challenge for the IC title...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any ideas?

I would also like to see Kane sent over to SmackDown! somehow, but no trade seems likely... Kane/Heidenreich is hardly a fair trade...

I'm thinking Tomko for Matt Morgan.

I definately agree with the Haas/Tajiri trade. It would be good for them both.

I think tajiri should be traded to smackdown, he probably wasn't in the draft because he wouldn't of made that big an impact as other wrestlers. I want Haas on smackdown, because i don't want there being any chance of Shelton going back into the tag division again.Not sure who Tajiri should be traded for though, maybe Matt Morgan.

Agree with the tag champs, so that all the "WCW" belts are on one show.

I think they should trade the tag teams to Smackdown. You could have the Dudleys, MNM, Hurricane/Rosey, Heart Throbs, Simon Dean/Maven, Bashams, Mexicools, and possibly reunite the Worlds Greatest Tag Team. And maybe tag Val Venis with someone.

I hope they do something like this. They wouldn't mention the midnight deadline if they didn't have anything planned, I assume.

Haas/Tajiri works, and also the tag champs should switch shows. The World Tag Team champs need to be with the World Champ, same with the WWE Tag Champs and the WWE Champ.

Tajiri for Charlie Haas probably won't happen. Haas has just married someone on SD!, if he's going over to RAW, she is going as well. Here are the drafts I can very easily see taking place:

-The Hurricane, Rosey & Stacy Keibler for Joey Mercury, Johnny Nitro & Melina
-Tajiri for Mark Jindrak
-Jerry Lawler for Tazz (or Jim Ross for Michael Cole, but that is less likely)
-Candice Michelle for Miss Jackie (so you can now trade Haas)
-Charlie Haas & Hardcore Holly for Simon Dean & Maven
-Sylvain Grenier & Tyson Tomko for Heidenreich

Tyson Tomko and Matt Morgan can team together as Captain Charisma's Problem Solvers. Heidenreich can team with Snitsky as a babyface, or feud with Carlito for the IC Title. Sylvain Grenier can join up with Rene Dupree, or try to make it on his own in the (what would be) dying US Division.

Charlie Haas can do something with Shelton, Hardcore Holly can team with Val Venis, or be fodder for the IC Division. Simon Dean & Maven can continue teaming on SD!, or go their seperate ways in the CW/US Divisons.

Candice Michelle does nothing, Miss Jackie does nothing, but has wrestling training, it makes sense to trade these two.

The first thing you hear when you tune into a wrestling show is the commentators talking. If you swap a major commentator, you will know immediately. Someone who hasn't watched RAW in ages will have their interest spiked if it is JR & Tazz at ringside, or Michael Cole & Jerry Lawler or even Michael Cole & Tazz on RAW and JR & Jerry Lawler on SD!.

Tajiri can team-up with Funaki and Akio to battle The Mexicools. Worse things have happened. Mark Jindrak can do something with Chris Masters (he might actually get over if he breaks The Masterlock, or teams with him) or become a lackey for Triple H, Kurt Angle or even Carlito.

The Tag Team Champion swap makes the most sense, as it allows The Hurricane to be closer to the CW Division, allows Rosey to be on a show with fewer big men, gets Stacy Keibler and Torrie Wilson together, and if Stacy ever decided to do Playboy, it would probably boost SD!'s ratings. Melina on the other hand can be closer to the Women's Division (I'm pretty sure she can wrestle) and get more attention as a lead Diva on RAW. If the WWE wants to bring up the past, they can have Eric Bischoff continue in his tweener role, by constantly punishing MNM for Nitro's past with Bischoff, Mercury's past with ECW and the fact they carry belts spawned on SD!.

Apparently his profile briefly appeared under "Smackdown Superstars" on WWE.com...so, that possibility may be closer than you think.

I definitely agree with Hurricane/Rosey/Stacy for MNM. Not only because it reunites the title belts, but it also gives Hurricane access to the Cruiserweight division when he and Rosey lose the gold.

I also agree with Morgan for Tomko, as it gives Carlito and Christian their sidekicks back.

Throw in Tajiri for Heidenreich, and I think you've got a pretty solid set of trades without totally altering either roster.

Well, looks like the time for speculation is ovah:

* Rene Dupree: Former WWE Tag Team Champion; former World Tag Team Champion
* Danny Basham: Two-time former WWE Tag Team Champion
* Kenzo Suzuki (with Hiroko): Former WWE Tag Team Champion
* Chavo Guerrero: Five-time former Cruiserweight Champion; two-time former WWE Tag Team Champion


SmackDown! brand gets:

* William Regal: Four-time former WCW Television Champion; three-time former Hardcore Champion; four-time former European Champion; former Intercontinental Champion; four-time former World Tag Team Champion
* Candice: 2004 RAW Diva Search contestant
* Sylvain Grenier: Four-time former World Tag Team Champion
* Simon Dean: Former RAW sponsor
* Steven Richards: Former two-time ECW Tag Team Champion; former 21-time Hardcore Champion

Watch RAW on Monday (9/8CT; Spike TV) for more on this trade.
So, it looks like the folks who predicted an under-card and mid-card shuffle were right.

Okay, that makes no sense. Chavo to RAW? I know you just injected a new stable of cruisers onto SD, but that's no reason to continue depleting their roster. It was bad enough last year when they sent Tajiri over.

Pretty much every other deal I agree with, although Dupree for Grenier is a bit of a head-scratcher. Are they just going to repackage Grenier as the French Phenom and hope that people don't notice?

Happy to see Jindrak, Danny, Stevie, and Dean getting new surroundings. Maybe one of them will emerge as this year's Shelton Benjamin. And I would worship at the altar of McMahon if he had Dean revert to Nova-ness and team up with Stevie for a bWo reunion.

What the hell is this crap moving Chavo and keeping Dupree and Grenier apart? That sucks.

But thumbs up to Simon Dean and Stevie Richards on SmackDown.

Yeah, Chavo and Dupree to RAW confused me, as Chavo's a top cruiser, and Dupree was just traded last year, with much success. Separating Regal from Eugene makes me wonder exactly what they're planning for Dinsmore's return, if anything. And Sylvain is probably the least likely La Res member to get over in singles competition...

I think this'll be good for at least one of the midcarders Loopy mentioned. They're recognizable faces that have stagnated recently, and can only gain from this trade.

But whatever will Simon Dean do without a Viscera or Rosey to feud with? Maybe this will mark the return of "Super-Heavyweight Holly"?
