In the Ross Report, JR hinted that there could be trades coming up between Raw and Smackdown. Who would you want traded? I say O'Hare to Smackdown for Farooq.

Trade Bubba Ray for Kurt Angle. I want to see Angle against Brock/Gurrerro/RVD/Booker T and this way the Dudley's could get back together, they need tag teams and it could break Deacon Batista away from the stupid gimmick he's involved in.

those are pretty good trades exept for all intents and puposes chris benoit is pretty much already on raw...i know he was never officially traded but he seems to be on raw each week and not on smackdown...so why not trade deacon batista...another up and comming monster they could get over by having him have a program against lesner
STAND BACK.....THERES A HURRICANE COMMING THROUGH!!!!
Actually Farrooq will stay on Smackdown, while O'Hare will still be traded, but for uh Hardcore Holly? He could become a successful hardcore champ.
Might as well trade Bradshaw (after he drops the hardcore belt) to SmackDown for Benoit, so that Benoit will officially become a member of RAW while we get an APA reunion on SmackDown.

IMO O'Haire should stay on the RAW roster. Let him compete for the European Title. SmackDown, as it's the show I can't see, they already get all the cruiserweights, they shouldn't get all the developmental guys too!

Yeah the tag team title really needs to float. The Raw challenger would be some big bruiser team and the SD challenger could be some cruiser team. That would give them about a 1,000 different possibilities. The small plucky face. The unbeatable heel power team. The cowardly small heal team. The up and comer face team. All the old different types of teams. Right now there is B&C and that is really all. Regal needs to be moved over. His offense would work better with cruiser. That way he could overpower them. Plus SD really needs another belt that the bigger guys could work for.
I just have 13 words for you. How much wood would a woodchuch chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
The European Title needs to go to Smackdown, but I want William Regal on RAW, so something has to give there.
Now that Austin is gone, I say Benoit stays on Smackdown to reunite with his former tag team partner, Chris Jericho.
As for tag teams, I say keep the Dudleys seperate, seperate the Hardys, reunite the APA.

Excuse my ignorance, but if Vince now owns everything once again, why are they persisting with the split rosters thing? Wouldn't it make more sense for Vince to say "I'll tell you where and when you will wrestle" and re integrate the two shows?

no 1) it would say that Vince's idea didn't work 2) it would tell the stockholders that they don't have any long term planning 3) Linda keeps telling the stock holders that the split will go on as planned

well, crap, with what just happened on raw, you were right
d'oh

I can kind of see the reason for the split persisting. With the top guys spplit, there is room for the up-and-comers to have matches on TV. Although I support the idea, I personally don't agree with execution. I would end the split and add an extra hour onto each show.
As far as trades: -Bradshaw for Hardcore Holly. The APA is good together, craptacular apart. Reform them. Holly should get thrown into the IC Title mix. -Ivory for Skeletor. Ivory can bring a lot to the Women's roster if she wasn't stuck in Smackdown TnA hell. Terri can go to Smackdown and have fights with Dawn Marie in a pool of gravy or eggnog or fanboy drool or sulfuric acid or whatever. I won't watch so I don't care. -Jeff Hardy for Val Venis. Hardy can join the Cruiserweight scene and Venis will have plenty of lower mid-card guys to fight.
Only if you consider being a top cruiserweight worse than jobbing to The Undeertaker week in week out. Of corse he wouldn't have to face only cruiserweights, but I think that he could have some killer matches against someone like Rey Mysterio o.r Tajiri
Trade Matt Hardy for Batista. Matt can join the cruiserweights, and Batista can join the hardcore division. Two move wonders like Batista would be good there.
Trade Triple H for Boss Man. Triple H can join the nWo and Bossman can do nothing for the other team.
Then again...if Triple H actually joins the nWo, would that mean that HBK, Nash, x-Pac and Show could travel between shows? Remember that Flair drafted the nWo as a unit, and if HHH is nWo on Smackdown, then they could say that the actual nWo is on both rosters. I hope that makes sense.
Oh well...that's my ideas so far. Vinnie Mac...are you listening?

From the desk of Swordsman Yen So if Vince owns both shows, what would be the logic in doing trades since Vince would be only competing against himself? Perhaps they could have Vince develop split personalities after a chair shot. One personality controls Raw and the other controls Smackdown. That's right, it would be Raw Vince McMahon vs. Smackdown Vince McMahon, the money feud of 2002, which would culminate into a WM19 match for 100% ownership of Vince.
