Re-do the brands

[OGBoardPoster2005]

Who would you put on which shows?

Heres how I'd do it

To Raw:
Batista-He just seems to work better on Raw than he does on Smackdown.He was on fire during his the Raw Part of his first title reign and died down after Vengeance 05 and hasn't been the same since.

William Regal-Like Batista he's more suited to Raw than Smackdown.

Test-Anything to get him out of ECW a HHH/Test feud despite how terrible the matches would be could be an interesting feud in 07 plus it was never really settled in 99.

To ECW:
Joey Mercury-He's an original and at this point he's better off there.

Rey Mysterio-Same thing as Mercury

To Smackdown:
Carlito-Bring some fresh faces to the Smackdown Main Event on terms of Top Faces

Edge-I know its a demotion but Edge following this DX feud will have feuded with almost EVERYONE on Raw a change in scenery would help.

John Cena-He was at his best on Smackdown and most of his fan base is the Smackdown Crowd

Shawn Michaels-Needs a change of scenery a Michaels/King Booker feud could be interesting.

Lashley-Put him back on Smackdown

Shannon Moore-Team him with Helms and remake 3 Count.

Rene Dupree-Team him with Sylvain again

I'd switch the women and the cruiserweights around. With Trish and Lita gone, the women's division has lost two of its standard bearers. And while they have some developing talent, I think ti would be best to push the women back a bit till they have more experience under their belts and can put on better matches. The cruiserweights, on the other hand, have long deserved more attention, and since RAW is the flagship show, putting them there would be a good start.

ECW, I would just do a massive revamp. Right now, it is just a dumping ground for the RAW and Smackdown rejects. I would keep some of the younger guys who are totally new to WWE audiences (ex. CM Punk, Mike Knox) and drop some of the ones like Dupree and Holly. I would use the "originals" like Sandman and Balls much the way Terry Funk was used back in the day; to help carry the promotion, and to help establish new talent. A guy like Sabu does not really have much to lose by letting CM Punk go over him. Fans know and respect Sabu, even if he doesn't have a title around his waist. And I would probably try to start a fledgling tag division, to set up a return of the ECW tag titles.

To Smackdown
John Cena- Just doesn't seem right for RAW
Val Venis- I think he may actually be used if he was on Smackdown
Rene Dupree- Just think he should be there, not on ECW or RAW
Shannon Moore- Could be an addition tothe cruiserweight division
Test- Just to get him off ECW

To RAW
Batista- Same as Cena, just doesn't seem right on Smackdown
Jillian Hall- To boost the Woman's divison
Ken Kennedy- I would just like to see him feud with Carlito
Jazz- To boost the Woman's division as well
Mike Knox- Just to see him off WWECW

To ECW
Super Crazy-Well he's not doing much on RAW
TWGTT- Just so each show has a few good tag teams, so they can create some kind of interbrand tag team title, God I dream a lot
Jamie Noble- Meh I dunno why
Joey Mercury- Cause otherwise he's jobbing

[Mike Strike]

I'd make them seperate seasons. For 6 months its Brand A's Raw & Brand A's Smackdown, for the other half of the year its Brand B's Raw & Smackdown. This way everyone gets an off season & writers can plan out season long storylines yet there's still new shows yearlong.

October-March: WWE Roster
Batista

April-September: ECW Roster (For the lack of anything better)

ECW's old TV slot offically becomes the new Heat.

[H-Fist]

I'd make massive, sweeping changes.

RAW BRAND:
Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair, Edge, Randy Orton, Batista, Lashley
Chavo Guerrero, Johnny Nitro, Kenny Dykstra, Val Venis, Matt Striker, Vito, Snitsky, Rob Conway, Sylvan Grenier, Rene Dupree, Lance Cade, Viscera, Tatanka (Buffalo), Cryme Tyme, Highlanders

Mickie, Victoria, Jillian Hall, Melina, Jazz [still on the ECW page]

What I've done here is put together a very disparate uppercard and a weak tag division. Raw will ignore the tag division anyway, so why bother? Chavo, Val, and Tatanka will be the guys to guide the Kenny/Nitro/Striker type guys into being able to be legit IC-level guys for now. Basically, it focuses on the big names, a small midcard, and the women's division.

SMACKDOWN
John Cena, Booker, Chris Benoit, Umaga, Kane, Undertaker, Mark Henry, Finay, Mr. Kennedy, Test, MVP, Trevor Murdoch, Carlito, Helms, Noble, Yang, The Hardyz, London & Kendrick, WGTT, Regal & Taylor

Boogeyman, Miz, Scotty 2 Hotty, Funaki, Hacksaw Duggan

I've tried here to make a more fluid transition from the upper to the midcard. Guys like Kennedy can "graduate." I've put the tag teams here so that they could legit main event a PPV with a tag title match if booked well, which Hayes seems to be able to do. I think putting Cena here would let his ring skill grow to meet his mic skill. You know, I'd be willing to cheer for him if he didn't suck. Put him in a program with Benoit or Finlay. I see, eventually, a Carlito heel turn in which he, Mark Henry, and Umaga join forces under AAE's leadership. Helms, Yang, and Noble can hold down the CW division and incorporate Londrick and Matt Hardy when not busy with the TT belts.

ECW:
RVD, Sabu, Rey Mysterio
Sandman, Dreamer, Balls Mahoney, Super Crazy, Joey Mercury, CW Anderson, Stevie Richards, Hardcore Holly
CM Punk, Kevin Thorn, Chris Masters, Daivari, Shannon Moore, Masters
FBI, Burkay, Teacher's Pets, Knox & Nic Dinsmore

So basically its the ECW Original welfare line, and then about 9 other guys. Honestyl, I'd rather see OVW TV, split these guys between Raw and SD!, fire a bunch of people, and call it a day. But that can't happen. So I'll do this.

And Khali replaces Coach as GM of Raw. That is all.

[thiazzi]

I hate every suggestion the thread starter made. Wow.

[-Lithium-]

To ECW
Beniot
Mysterio
Mercury
Super Crazy

To SD
Lashley

Off ECW (Dont care where they go, hopefully gone.)
Test
Holly
Khali
Rene

Oh and I was just gonna mainly do ECW but I wish Umaga (atleast the gimmick) would go away and never come back...

[default]

Raw: Mike Knox (so he can form a wacky tag team with Gene Snitsky), Matt Hardy (can team up again with Jeff), Jillian Hall, Trinity

SD: Cade & Murdoch, Masters, Umaga, Eugene (all listed are more to me along the lines of SD's old school vibe), Shannon Moore

ECW: Benoit (I'd rather him be a major player on the third brand than second tier on the second), Mr. Kennedy (wouldn't be a permanent move, but I think he'd fit in and could be seen as a World Title player), Vito (FBI), Torrie Wilson

Oh, and for talent not on brands/TV... Nattie to Raw, Beth Phoenix back to Raw, Monty Brown to Raw, Harry Smith to SD (for now), Siaki to SD, Scorpio to ECW and Richards back to ECW

Also the women should be moved around. I dont know what Jazz, Trinity, or Jillian are doing not wrestling. They could be traded for eyecandy divas like Torrie or Candice that dont do a whole lot.

All I know with 3 rosters there really needs to be a draft, I dont know how many weeks we had to sit threw Batista/ vs. Finlay/Booker, and Cena vs. Johnny Nitro.
