[QUOTE="CerebralAssassin, post: 950486, member: 5933"] Though I haven't watched wrestling for the past 20 years (more like 7), I see your point regarding the IC title. I personally don't think Christian would make a good face, but I would like to see him be a competent wrestler & devious heel instead of a cowardly one. I agree with you about Nash, though I do feel that Flair and Michaels have a place in the WWE. I like Flair as a manager for Randy Orton whose mike skills are either non-existent or underutilized (I haven't been impressed with any of his mike time to date). I could see Shawn Michaels in the same capacity, though perhaps on Smackdown instead of RAW. Perhaps with Spanky (btw, please change this kid's name, for the love of God!). As far as the tag team situation goes, I agree that things are pretty screwed up, but that is true for both shows, not just RAW. Tag teams that IMHO are viable for each show: RAW: Dudley Boyz, La Resistance, Regal/Storm Smackdown: APA, Stamboli/Palumbo, Benjamin/Haas, Los Guerreros I think that they might be better off having one unified Tag Team Championship so that you don't get the same guys fighting each other all the time on each show. I also agree that the build up to the Kane/RVD split was much better than the execution. With regards to Goldberg-Jericho and Goldberg in general, I agree with most of what you said. I do think Goldberg could be a good signing, but we need a reason to care about him, and so far neither he nor the writing staff have given us one. Test is starting to develop a nice heel personality, but I don't think the WWE wanted to have Stacy getting her ass kicked every week on Cable TV to prove that Test is a jerk. Nor did I like the whole powerslamming (heck the whole appearance) of Mae Young. Smackdown does have a lot of good wrestlers, I think the problem both shows have run into is that the split of the WWE belt forced both shows to homgenize to a certain extent. When the RAW/Smackdown split first occurred, you had a lot of good cruiserweights on Smackdown, some good Tag Teams on RAW. You don't have that any more. I'd like to see the titles work like this: WWE Championship (titleholder on both shows) RAW Championship (formerly the IC title) Smackdown Championship (formerly the US title) Tag Team Championship (title holder on both shows) Womens Championship (titleholder on both shows) Cruiserweight Championship (as most cruiserweights are on Smackdown, you could probably confine it to one show, but guys like the Hurricane on RAW would make great Cruiserweight champions) [/QUOTE]
