Should Master's go to Smackdown?

[Sephiroth]

There is talk backstage of sending Chris Master's to ECW. But this would only further bury ECW as the place where the rejets go.

Masters has no credibility left on RAW. After having his "masterlock challenge" broken by a 140 pound guy during the Tribute to the Troops, his last claim to fame is gone. This is actually sad, as his in ring and mic work have actually improved.

Personally, I think he would be better sent to Smackdown. There are some options open to him there that don't exist in ECW. I could easily see a Masters/Boogieman fued. A Masters/Helms tag team would make sense, as they are both portraying cocky, self absorbed heels. Or perhaps a Masters/Mercury team (hey, could be M and M instead of MNM) And I think that eventually having Masters fued with Benoit for the US title would be a great way for him to get some credibility back. Perhaps even a brief Masters/Batista program for the title.

While I know Master's has few supporters here on the boards, I think the guy has potential. He needs a few years experience, but he won't look credible in the future if he continues as a glorified jobber on RAW. But I also don't think ECW is the place for him. On Smackdown, at least, he could have a chance.

Masters has really grown on me, I don't mark for the guy. But he really has improved on the ring and on mic, he's a decent midcarder and I'm surprized he's not already on Smackdown or ECW by now.

I don't know, the Masterlock has been "broken" before with this kind of interference, and it had lost a lot of juice anyway. Booking is Master's main problem now, he's barely a midcarder the way he's being booked. But Masters gets more interest from my casual fan friends than I would have expected, so I am not pessimistic yet about his future, because I think Vince looks for the casual fan more than anything.

Do not send him to ECW. They tried that with Hardcore Holly and it made no difference. They tried it with Stryker, no difference. They're best off sending him to smackdown. Its been mentioned, but team him with Mercury, Helms, or hell, even Kennedy. He could feud with Benoit. I think that a Benoit/Masters program would be so beneficial to Masters in the sense that Benoit could carry and make him a star. It would however be a mistake to book him into a title program with Batista anywhere in the year 2007. He needs to establish himself as a mid-carder at least before he even gets one of those random "Sylvan vs. Batista" matches.

Hell I just thought of a really dumb idea that might work actually. He could still build up the masterlock as the best, most unbeatable move, and he could go into wrestlemania in a Masterlock vs. Undefeated Streak role against the undertaker and have the undertaker break it. Have a legitimate main eventer break it and show that it really is a hard move to get out of. Undertaker could carry Chris Masters through that also.

I mean, in ECW he'd never be given the mic because they have one guy who has better mic skills than Masters and that is Khali. I do not see any interesting feuds for him in ECW, maybe against Test in a "Who gets more Crowd Reaction" match but thats about it.

Masters is actually growing on me too, and I think he'd be good on smackdown as a US title contender. He seems to have run his course on Raw. I don't think he'd fit in well on ECW. ECW needs a face that isn't an ECW original. It seems like it's everyone vs Dreamer, Sandman, Sabu, RVD, and the only nonoriginal face CM Punk.

If his credibility hasn't been completely mashed into the dirt and pissed on, he'd be a good fit for Smackdown.

[Sumbody Gon' Get Dey Kneelift]

As the ORIGINAL masters mark on these boards, I'd have to say yes, put him on smackdown, if only because he can get himself more over with better writers.

However.

I don't want to stop seeing him, and as I don't watch smackdown, therefore I don't want him to go.

[HRH The KING]

Masteroid shouldn't go to Smackdown.

He should just go away.

['Sweet n' Sour' A. A. Estrada]

Keep him on RAW, he's fine where he is. Eventually he'll find his niche.

actually....Super Cena broke it on raw a few weeks before the solider did


and I believe Masters should get off my tv

Chris Master's what? Hat? Steroids?

It's Masters, there is no '

[erik316wttn]

I think Masters should get an IC title run.

Build him up as a monster for about 4-6 weeks yet, then have him beat Hardy clean for the belt.

Who broke the masterlock?

I agree.

In typical smark fashion. Everyone was burrying this guy when he was getting a big push. Now that he's a jobber, everyone loves him.

During the Tribute show for the troops Masters had some little Sgt. come in who was about 140 lbs and slapped the master lock on him. JBL, dressed as Santa was layed out by the masterlock hit Masters from behind and the Sgt. broke the hold.

I think they should just release Masters. I can't see him wearing any kind of gold or anything. He is a waste. No character, no charisma, no nothing.

Not true. He is improving. His mic skills, his move set....
And a sombrero gimmick'd save him, no doubt.

I AGREE. go away totaly.

I am not sure about everyone loving him,I get the feeling people dislike him even more now.

I've marked for Masters since Backlash 2005, push this man.
