Trades

[Guest treble charged]

Ok, going from the current rosters, here are the trades that I would make:

 

Trade 1

From SmackDown: Torrie Wilson, Stacy Keibler

From Raw: Terri, Jacqueline

Reasoning: This way, SmackDown has Ivory and Jacqueline as women wrestlers, while Raw has Molly and Trish.  This way, Jazz has competition on both rosters.  (EDIT: Sorry, I forgot about Lita on the Raw roster.  I don't know HOW I could have done that?)

 

Trade 2

From SmackDown: DDP

From Raw: Crash

Reasoning: Now, all of the cruiserweights are on SmackDown.

 

Trade 3

From SmackDown: Lance Storm

From Raw: Big Bossman

Reasoning: Because the Bossman sucks.  Also, possible Impact Players reunion now (Though it will probably never happen).

 

Trade 4

From SmackDown: Chris Jericho

From Raw: Bradshaw

Reasoning: Strengthens Raw inside the ring, plus there is really no point in breaking up the APA now, since that's the only reason either of them gets any reaction at all.

 

That's all I'd make right now.  I think you keep the Dudleys apart, before they become too stale, so if they when the split is off, their reunion will mean something.

I would probably trade Maven and someone with little value (Saturn or whatnot) to RAW for William Regal. That puts the hardcore belt on RAW where there seem to be a lot of ECW guys, and gives Smackdown a more legitimate #2 belt.

[Guest muzanisa]

Raw to Smackdown

NWO, Undertaker

for Storm (impact players),Jericho, Benoit, D'Von

 

Smackdown to Raw

RVD

Rikishi

[Guest thebear]

Why did everyone get all up in arms when Maven was drafted last... I thought it was a good choice, and one of those situations, where being drafted can help push him..

[Guest One Bad Apple]

Trade 2

From SmackDown: DDP

From Raw: Crash

Reasoning: Now, all of the cruiserweights are on SmackDown.

ONE BAD APPLE:

 

Shouldn't the trades at least be logical?

 

 

IDIOT WITH A DERIVATIVE SENSE OF HUMOR:

 

Since when does the WWF have to be logical?

You was more than my girl, we was like brothers.

 

 

USHER:

 

Oh!

[Guest gangsteruwa]

I would trade the nWo for Lance Storm, Jericho and Benoit.  The nWo is still feuding with Hogan and the Rock so it makes more sense.  RAW needs better heavyweight uppercard talent so Jericho and Benoit would be the perfect choices.  Truthfully I can't see Storm being traded for the part of the nWo because he is not really over with the crowd, so it would only make the smarks and Storm fans happy.  But that is what I would do.

 

I would also trade Taker for Angle.  Vince was having a fit when Flair took the nWo and Taker so it makes sense that Vince would "do anything" to get them for himself.  

 

It would make for funny television with Angle getting traded for the Undertaker.  Angle crying "Why Vince, Why???"

[Guest muzanisa]

It would make for funny television with Angle getting traded for the Undertaker.  Angle crying "Why Vince, Why???"

 

That would be great.

The only reason I'd do my four and not Angle is because I get both shows and want Angle on Smackdown for good matches.

[Guest teke184]

Hmmmm....  The guy that won Tough Enough vs. REAL wrestlers?  Gee, I don't know who *I'D* choose.

 

Seriously, though, it's not Maven's fault.  It's all Vince's fault because he's rushing Maven's career for the sole purpose of selling Tough Enough 2 to the public.  When everyone saw Maven win TE1, everyone thought he'd have a tryout match on RAW then not be seen for years.  Now he's on the Big 2 programs more often than Saturn, Kidman, or plenty of other established wrestlers.

 

Also, I've been hearing that the wrestlers weren't informed who would be on what roster, so all the reactions in the back were a SHOOT, BABY!

[Guest gangsteruwa]

I also wanted to add this:

 

As treble charged said, "I think you keep the Dudleys apart, before they become too stale, so if they when the split is off, their reunion will mean something."  I believe this split won't last that long, if it goes for 6 months I'll be suprised.  I originally thought that the Dudley's and APA should have been kept together but now I'm not too sure.  This really doesn't leave too many tag teams other than Billy and Chuck and the Hardy's and they are in opposite groups.  Maybe they will trade Farooq or Bradshaw for Buh Buh or DVon and the teams will still be together.

 

Personally I think the whole trade thing that we are talking about is stupid and this should have been resolved on RAW.  The only reason for it to happen is to get Smackdown some ratings, and we aren't even sure its going to happen.

[Guest Brian]

I'd Imagine Vince would trade Angle, Benoit, and the rights top negotiate with Austin for the NWO.

[Guest teke184]

In the storyline, I could see that deal.  However, in the real world, I'd be wondering WTF he was thinking if he did that deal.  The nWo is NOT worth Angle, Benoit, and the first shot to negotiate with Austin because the nWo's roster went from Nash-Hall-Hogan to Nash-Hall-Xpac.  If it was Hogan instead of X-Pac, I could see that deal.

[Guest dreamer420]

I expected maven to go in the top ten.  he is the hardcore champion and all champions were drafted by either flair or vince last night.

[Guest teke184]

Tajiri wasn't drafted in the first 10 rounds and they're supposed to be bringing back the Cruiserweight division.

[Guest dreamer420]

But X-Pac was and on the WWF's title website he was still listed as LHW Champion the last time I looked

[Guest]

The trade I want to happen, probably will happen, will provide Smackdown with more of the Sportz Entertainment quotient and will balance both rosters IMO.

 

nWo for Angle, Benoit, Jericho & Edge.  

 

The nWo has to be traded because there's no legitimate feud they could have on RAW, and they aren't finished with Hogan yet.

 

This trade is equal.   Angle is the man in Vince's eyes, and the fans respect him... but Jericho has been made to look like a total loser recently, most fans have probably forgot about Benoit, and if they remember him they don't care anyway, and Edge is an upcoming star that would make the trade even IMO.

 

I'd also like to see Taker traded, but doubt it happens.  Taker was the 1st pick... so he could possibly be traded for say Angle & Jericho or Benoit or Edge... but I doubt it, as I think Taker and Flair will be setting up another match someday.

 

I think Austin also goes to RAW, and it leaves the main event scenes like this...

 

RAW:  Austin, Angle, Taker

Smackdown:  Rock, Hogan, nWo

 

Also, the midcards would be even if Edge & Benoit or Jericho go to RAW.

[Guest AM The Kid]

Take the whole Smackdown roster and transfer it to RAW.

[Guest Zack Malibu]

I don't think Vince will trade for the NWO.  I think he'll use them as a ploy to wipe out Flair's group from the inside.  If he does trade for the NWO, then I can see the same thing being done with Undertaker, or perhaps whomever Vince trades with.

 

I really can't predict an exact trade, but it would make sense for Flair to get Maven somehow, since most "hardcore" guys are on that roster.  Vince's side actually seems to have the cream of the technical/cruiserweight crop.  Hopefully Flair's hardcore division will have some "old school" mentality rather than the "I hit you, you hit me" crap.  Some well booked brawls by Heyman, and maybe Flair or Arn Anderson could be really good.

[Guest wolverine]

From WWF:

 

RVD

 

From HWA:

[Guest AM The Kid]

Once again, Flair doesn't ACTUALLY own WWF RAW. It's the exact same writing team for both WWF Smackdown and WWF Raw. Flair's stuck with the lugs.

[Guest The Fett]

I'm fairly pleased with how the roster was split so I wouldn't make any major trades. I think the wrestlers for each roster go well with the other wrestlers on their roster. Raw with more sports entertainers and ECW wrestlers while Smackdown is more old school wrestling. It's like Raw is WWF Attitude and Smackdown is more traditional wrestling like WCW used to be.

 

On Raw, is mainly the bigger wrestlers that are brawlers, power wrestlers, and hardcore wrestlers. On Smackdown are the smaller wrestlers with a technical and high flying style. They mesh well with each other.

 

A few trades I'd make:

-Send Maven to Raw and Crash Holly to Smackdown. Have the hardcore division on Raw and Crash can go to the Cruiser division on Smackdown

-Send D'Von Dudley to Raw and William Regal to Smackdown. D'Von can reuinite with Bubba and continue to throw people through tables. Regal goes to Smackdown where he can wrestle with all the technical wrestlers there.

-Send Taz to Raw and Shawn Stasiak to Smackdown. Because their wrestling styles fit better there.

[Guest]

-Send Taz to Raw and Shawn Stasiak to Smackdown. Because their wrestling styles fit better there.

They have the same wrestling styles... job in under 2 minutes to everyone.

[Guest El Satanico]

I'd only do one trade

 

Raw gets:

 

Jericho, DDP, Venis, Tazz

 

 

Smackdown Gets:

 

Kane, Stasiak, Goldust, Crash

 

It would even the sides up a little and give Raw a few more guys that are decent wrestlers while giving up a few big slow guys.

 

And one thing we have to remember is that Vince is gonna make sure he looks good no matter what so he isn't going to give Flair that many of the good big name guys. And guys like Storm should stay on Smackdown since they have most of the smaller guys and they would have more guys to do good matches with.

 

Then hopefully the free agents will give Raw some of the younger guys that haven't been on TV much but are still better then some of the bums both sides have now. Also Austin's return(the internet was fed bs) to Raw will help even out the sides.

[Guest Ripper]

Just get RVD on the same show with Angle, Jerhico, and Beniot, and I am a happy camper.

[Guest Downhome]

Also, I've been hearing that the wrestlers weren't informed who would be on what roster, so all the reactions in the back were a SHOOT, BABY!

 

That is true for everyone, except The Dudleyz & The APA. They were told beforehand that they would be split up, just so they wouldn't be totally shocked. Also, all four of them are said to have been totally ok with being split up, so, it doesn't look like they are upset about it or anything.

[Guest Kahran Ramsus]

To RAW:

Hulk Hogan, Test, Maven, Mark Henry & Faarooq

 

To Smackdown:

Booker T, Mr. Perfect, Bubba Ray Dudley, William Regal & Brock Lesnar

 

That way Smackdown will be fantastic and I won't need to watch RAW at all.

[Guest saturnmark4life]

Somehow GET SATURN AND RAVEN ON THE SAME SHOW.

[Guest Kahran Ramsus]

Somehow GET SATURN AND RAVEN ON THE SAME SHOW.

 

Get them on A show first.
