Gert T 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2003 I think obviously people would like to see an RVD for Undertaker trade, but what other ones could be pulled off right now AKA who is really stale and could use a different environment? At least with Taker on Raw he could be a 'new' face for HHH to feud with for two months and then obviously move onto the Kane feud. I agree with the poster last week saying another RVD-Brock feud could work well with how they meshed last summer. The question is this, if an RVD-Taker trade went down, could you have Kane squash RVD on his way out and have Bischoff say he's pissed at RVD and will try to move him at all costs without hurting RVD's character for SD!

Guest JaKyL25 Report post Posted August 3, 2003 I saw an idea awhile ago that would precipitate this trade: Kane declares Van Dam his #1 target. He continues to haunt Van Dam's matches for weeks, and nothing can be done to keep Kane away from trying to kill Van Dam. Bischoff & Austin agree to trade him to SmackDown out of respect for his safety. And they get Undertaker in return, the one person who they think can attempt to deal with Kane. Kinda makes Van Dam out to be a coward, but eh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gert T 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2003 I think that would be a good premise, and let's be honest we have short attention spans, we wouldn't even remember why RVD was sent over after about 2 weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JRE Report post Posted August 3, 2003 Major trades right now?....nah, that's booking for the weak. Maybe in a few months. Minor? Rikishi to Raw to form a team with Rosey. Dawn Marie to Raw to manage Lance Storm. Maybe Scotty to Raw when he gets back...if they sign Brian Lawler....Raw needs Tag Teams. (The last paragraph was basically...what I've done in EWR) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Coffey Report post Posted August 3, 2003 I don't really want the Undertaker back on RAW. He was on RAW to begin with and then went to Smackdown. Hell, I think he was the champion when the champion was on both shows too. Keep him on Smackdown. I still think the best trade would be the Women's division on RAW for the Smackdown Cruiser division. Well, maybe not... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Choken One Report post Posted August 3, 2003 Hurricane...(for the Rikishi) Mae Young and Moolah (for Dawn) AKA bischoff's revenge of sorts Scott was never "drafted" so thus...he can just join raw on his own but only if they can get him a Brian Christopher to play with Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest JaKyL25 Report post Posted August 3, 2003 Moolah & Mae are non-branded. Remember that time Moolah showed up on SmackDown and a PMSing Steph made her wrestle The Big Show? Scotty WAS drafted by SmackDown. He wrestled one match afterwards to my knowledge--the blowoff to Albert's heel turn on him--and then went for surgery (two if Albert's heel turn was post-draft). But, as was the case with Bradshaw, apparantly anyone who went on the DL before the rosters were frozen last September can still switch brands freely.

Guest The Decadent Slacker Report post Posted August 3, 2003 Hmm...i'd trade: Booker for Cena, just since Cena would totally freshen up RAW, & Booker isn't worth much anymore in the way of drawing but could go in feuds with Benoit, Eddie, etc. HHH for Eddie, so HHH/Steph can reignite on TV & Eddie can go ME on RAW, & give Orton his own spotlight away from HHH. Matt/Shannon for La Rez, because one rules & one doesn't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Deviant Report post Posted August 3, 2003 I have both shows now, so they can trade guys like Booker and RVD to SD and I can appreciate why it is an incredibly good idea that salvages their potential for good, fresh matches. On the flipside, I can watch a piece of shit like Albert added to Raw and enjoy and even better SD. So trade away. The trades added a great element of unpredictability to the shows. My only note is that the trades should be very rare, with one a month at the most, no matter how many people you want on the other show. THat was the major problem the first time, Raw lost the vast majority of its good talent within a couple of months, leaving it for dead before guys like Guerrero and Benoit had all the potentially great matches they could have had(RVD, Jericho, Booker).
