I enjoyed randy orton when he was feuding with jeff hardy on RAW and I was excited when MVP called him out, but his feuds with Triple H and Batista are getting so stale. The undercard isn't bad, but they don't give the undercard enough tv time to get their characters to that next level and make the show better, especially those who are knocking on that glass ceiling.
They don't need to move anyone, they just need to have more entertaining matches and fresh feuds, like smackdown does.

As it sad that I'm sick of hearing how awesome Smackdown is and how much Raw sucks, because the vast majority of my favorite wrestlers (Kofi/Miz/MVP/Matt/HBK/Orton(when he's not HHH's personal bitch)) are on Raw? I know they're rotting away there, but they're still my favorites, and I don't like the idea that they're crap because they're not on the Morrison/Edge/Jericho/Jeff show. A showing being bad does not mean anyone is discrediting the wrestlers on that show, so I don't really 'get' that. It's obviously the writers that critics of Raw have the problem with, not your faves. Hell, Orton is one of my faves and he's on RAW (as well as Maryse and Mickie). RAW has the enough talent to be a good show, but the writers are to busy coming up with "How can we get Triple H in the title hunt" ideas. If RAW had the same writers as Smackdown's, there wouldn't be a problem. Although, the right wrestlers also help with the show's appeal, and Smackdown has the best of both.

I'd much rather see Christian or Jack Swagger (or even Mark Henry, who I'm appreciating more and more) in the Main Event scene on RAW then what is already there. Lmao, fat chance.

Tell you what...they can rape all of Smackdowns talent *IF* they move the Smackdown writing team to Raw and vice versa.

RAW gets: CM Punk Undertaker Jeff Hardy Edge Chris Jericho
Smackdown gets: Festus Hornswoggle Jamie Noble Jim Duggan and the bag that HHH keeps his gear in

Picture this: Smackdown this week, Christian shows up and runs into Edge in the back. Gives him the stink eye for going after the tag titles with someone other than him (nevermind the Rated RKO thing). Bam, we get the Christian-Edge feud, with roles reversed from the first time around.

Raw has all the on-screen talent to be just as entertaining as Raw, but the fact is their backstage staff either sucks, or just doesn't care. They've basically ran two storylines all year(HHH/Orton and Show/Cena) with shorter place-holder storylines to pad the show.

Triple H moves to Smackdown, Jeff Hardy to Raw.
Instead of Punk turning heel, Triple H wins the World Title in a 5:00 match on Smackdown on Friday.

The only thing I hope out of this draft is that Christian is sent to Smackdown, but I'm really afraid that they'll mess up what they've got going for them on that show.
Hell, I'd be happy if they moved Undertaker over to Raw.
Just don't move Edge, Jericho, Morrison, Hardy or Punk.

UGH!!!! Dammit! Just when SmackDown! is getting good, Vince wants to raid the talent and screw up the show in favor of RAW. Maybe he should fire the creative people working on RAW and bring over a few from ECW and SmackDown! RAW's got the talent; they're just not being used well.

I could see them switching the two Women's belts again as a way to get McCool on Raw.

I am sure as I type this every single Smackdown wrestler, especially the mid-card ones, are praying to God they don't get moved to Raw.
The only two that wouldn't get totally buried or ruined on Raw would be Undertaker and Edge because they are established as the top guys. I know Jericho is too but if he is on the same show as Triple H you can bet HHH won't be able to resist the temptation to beat him.
After all it must have been 3 or 4 years since he was able to beat Jericho and we all know how much he loved doing that.

I knew this was going to happen. SD! is too good. RAW is boring. but the question is who might be switching? Jeff to RAW would be okay since he can fued with Randy.

I personally like how the rosters are set up now even though some of my favorites are on Smackdown.

From what I've heard, Swagger & Bourne are headed to RAW, Shelton Benjamin is headed to ECW again, and Finlay is headed to SmackDown!.
Let's see how Swaggah does now that he's playing in the deep end of the pool.
Man, ECW is losing Bourne...That really sucks. He's one of the main reasons to watch ECW.

How typical, Raw sucks and can't make new stars so their answer is to steal them.
