What you would do to Smackdown thread.

[Drifter]

Once again, without changing up the roster.

Like I said in the RAW thread, Smackdown seems to have the opposite problem. In my opinion the only guys that Smackdown has in the main eventer pool are...Triple H, Jeff Hardy, and Big Show.

Not sure why they don't use Big Show that much. He seems to come along as the cocky guy to put other cocky guys in there place. I wouldn't mind seeing a bit of a Triple H/Big Show feud.

As for now, I don't see anyone taking the title off of Triple H. Possibly Jeff Hardy, but doubtful. I'm not sure if having Hardy and CM Punk beig the two main champs is a good idea. Hardy is a bit more marketable than Punk for now, but why have to work on two at a time.

I think it would be the perfect time to have Carlito come up as a top heel. I don't know exactly how they are repackaging him, but I didn't think he needed it. He just needed better matches and better storylines to me. His gimmick fit. I used to think Carlito could have been the next Triple H as far as heelwork went...should I dare even say Ric Flair.

Kennedy being out again is killing him. So as much as I like him, I won't say much about him at this time.

The only problem with the Brian Kendrick push is that WWE begins a push that doesn't last long. I see his being the same way. Possibly a U.S. title run, but that's a far as I see it going for him.

The Smackdown writers want to push Shelton Benjamin, but Benjamin doesn't want the responsibity. I like him in the mid card, at least they don't have him jobbing to everyone anymore.

MVP is probably one of the best potentials they have right now. Him moving into main event spots could actually work.

Kenny Dykstra is the man, in my opinion with the most talent on the Smackdown roster, and they have him jobbing to everyone on the roster right now, including Ron Killings. I would give Kenny an old school feel to him, kind of a throwback to the attitude era. You could back him up with guys like Hawkins and Ryder. Young guys coming in to prove they can take over the business. Kenny is one of, if not, the youngest person in WWE. That gives him plenty of time to prove himself.

My overall plan, bump MVP and Carlito up to main eventers, give Kenny, Brian Kendrick, Killings, and Koslov their current spots in upper midcard. When Kennedy comes back, he can go to a main event spot as well.

Trips's ego will drag down Smackdown as it did Raw as long as he's in a position of power. Considering who he's matched up against at Unforgiven, I believe he's the one who has the best chance of retaining in that idiotic "Adamle Original" Championship Scramble. Based on the spoilers for this week's Smackdown, it looks like more of the same: he builds himself, tears down his opponents and the other members of the roster. I don't care if people have warmed back up to him or not, imo, he's on par with Hogan as far as ego. Until he's knocked off his pedestal, he'll be the biggest star in his mind, in the writing sessions and on TV.

Now, onto more positive thinking. lol I'm sure I heard all smart marks shout for joy when they saw Spanky getting this new push. When he got traded away from Paul London, I was extremely nervous but I'm really glad what they've been doing for him. Hopefully this push does continue and THE Brian Kendrick will become THE World Champion, at least until Trips decides he wants it back.

MVP deserves a shot at the top spot. I wasn't a big fan of him when he started but ever since his feud with Benoit a few years ago, he's shown just what he has inside the ring. He deserves a shot. 'Nuff said.

Shelton Benjamin is the black equivalent to Paul Orndorff: phenomenal amount of talent and yet he's never been World Champion. He could/should be the top heel of Smackdown. There's already history with him and Trips, like when Shelton first got drafted to Raw and beat Trips the first night. There was never any resolution (there's that word again, lol) and they deserve to give him a chance to hold the belt or be a serious challenger even after the Scramble.

I agree that Dykstra is untapped talent and should be used much more. I think a stable with him, Carlito and the Edgeheads would be a great addition to Smackdown. Call them the Horsemen, call them whatever but call them a serious threat.

Jeff Hardy, I think, missed his chance to be on top with that drug failure. Yes, he's still considered a top star but he doesn't have anywhere near the momentum that he had at the beginning of the year. They need to rebuild him if they want him to be taken as a serious threat to Trips's spot on top.

Triple H needs to give the title up, I think no one is in his league yet but after a while the fans will want to see a new face with the belt, possiblities:

1. MVP
2. Jeff Hardy
3. Kozlov
4. Big Show

Kozlov seems like he has power but the whole head butt crap is getting annoying real fast. Not even Goldberg manhandled Triple H so quick so why make Kozlov the next big thing? Lesnar, Batista, Goldberg, Lashley, and Undertaker will all dismantle him.
