wwe roster shake up:predictions...

[langden alger]

although i'm against it, i mean why bother splitting up the rosters if your going to keep shuffling them anyhow..just put the whole leauge back togeher again already!...but anyhow...here's how i think it might go down:

new smackdown
shawn micheals
edge
snitsky
hurricane
randy orton
la'resistance
chris "masterpiece" masters
jericho
christian

new raw
undertaker
luther reighns
jindrak
jbl
orlando jordan
eddy guerrero
booker t
heidenriche
big show
and if hogan stays around, i'll guess him for the raw roster

as usual i expecte el' big nose to stay right where he's at on raw again along with flair...but if anything they might surprise us and have flair get sent to smackdown and become the new general manager somehow..

anyone else have some predictions?

I actually wouldn't mind a unification of the brands, since there will be only one B-show come the fall. But problem is, HHH will still be on top. :sad:

As for my picks for the draft, I go with:

Going to RAW:

Kurt Angle. (as a face)

Paul London and the rest of the Cruiserweight division.

Big Show.

Charlie Haas (as a heel)

Mark Jindrak.

Bashams.

Going to Smackdown:

Shawn Michaels.

Christian.

Gene Snitsky (in a team with Heidernich)

Trish Stratus.

Randy Orton.

Hurricane.

[Patrick Bateman]

Here are my picks. Not necessarily who I think will move, but who I'd like to move.

To RAW:

- Charlie Haas (hopefully re-teaming with Shelton as heels)

- Eddie Guerrero (I want him on the same show as Benoit and Jericho)

- Rey Mysterio (He's outgrown the cruiser division)

- Luther Reigns (RAW just seems more his speed)

- Kurt Angle (Ready to see him mix it up with new blood)

- The Dudleys (Pretty useless on SmackDown)

- Miss Jackie (May as well)

To SmackDown!:

- Randy Orton (He needs to be on the show focused towards fresher faces)

- Christian (He really is stuck in the midcard on RAW. SmackDown could be just what he needs)

- Shawn Michaels (Just been on RAW long enough)

- La Resistance (I'd like to see them back with the direction-less Rene Dupree)

- Ric Flair (Sick of him as Triple H's lackey)

- The Hurricane (He needs the cruiser division in a bad way)

- Lita (Why not)

[NozeNuggets]

Being given that the Michaels-Angle match was a show stopper at WM21, I see Angle staying at SmackDown, and Michaels going over there. Here's my other choices:

From RAW to SmackDown
Shawn Michaels
Sheldon Benjamin (to re-team with Charlie Haas as a face tag team)
Kane
Robert Conway and Sylvain Grenier (to reunite with Rene Dupree)

From SmackDown to Raw
Undertaker
Big Show
Orlando Jordan (after losing the US belt, and being fired by JBL)
The Dudley Boyz (except Spike, who will likely stay at SD).

[Tapout]

I don't really care what happens as long as they stick the tag division on one show. Both are entirely useless right now, even with two new teams debuting in the last week.

[EinBebop]

I'm assuming we're drafting five from each show again:

From Raw:

Chris Jericho - Will fued with Carlito (loser gives up interview segment) before going on to the main event as a heel

Sean Morely - "Hey, JBL. You know how we're looking for someone to replace Orlando? An experienced chief-of-staff just transferred onto the roster!

Kane - Insta-Heidenreich fued, and perhaps a chance to get into the main event picture

Daivari - Will the conspiracy against Hasan never end?

Eugene - Another Heidenreich fued when he returns, and a chance to stretch the gimmick out longer with a new cast to play off of

From Smackdown:

KURT ANGLE - Everyone keeps suggesting him, but I think he's too important to the show to move right now.

Charlie Haas - not to team with Benjamin, but rather to fued against him

Undertaker - Just because we're moving Kane. Both on one show inevitably have to team up or fight, and I'm not in favor of that right now. And I don't really think it make a difference what show Undertaker is on.

All three Dudleys - (achieved not through draft, but rather trades) Let Spike continue to act as manager, and bring in a FOURTH Dudley who would concentrate as a singles wrestler.

BTW, just so he's not stuck as a Dudley forever, I'd have some little thing go like this:

Spike: We have a fourth Dudley! Barry Dudley!
Barry: But I'm only a Dudley by marriage. My dad's name was Horowitz.
Spike: You're our half-brother, and that makes you a Dudley!

Then he can just throw off the Dudley name when the gimmick has run its course.

Shame Molly left, cause I'd work her into the group as well.

I also like the idea of bring Chavo over, and giving him a shot at escaping the cruiserweight division. Rumour is he's on the verge of being dropped anyway, so it's worth a shot.

[bigddan11]

Well, I say it'll be 5 & 5 like last year as well, and I don't think any of the ones drafted last year will switch back, so I'm giving this a shot:

Raw to Smackdown:
Shawn Michaels wants a rematch with Kurt, so he'll probably switch. This tag match with Hogan is basically his last Raw hurrah in my book. It also puts all the Texan wrestlers on one show (I think).
Ric Flair- and hence the demise of Evolution forever :).
Gene Snitsky- There's got to be some reason that Viscera is with Trish and not Snitsky.
Tyson Tomko- He's got a lot of potential to be a great superstar, but he needs to get away from Christian to develop it. It'd be perfect for him against Smackdown's other big guys.
Garrison Cade- He's basically done nothing on Raw, so move him so he gets a chance to shine.

Smackdown to Raw:
Rey Mysterio- They've been having him in bigger matches (almost like they're planning on moving him from the Crusierweight divison).
Charlie Haas- To reteam or face off with Shelton.
The Basham Brothers- Danny seems to have some tension between him and "The Cabinet." This would be the perfect way to escape, and since these two are a tag team, they'd make for better competition against Regal and Tajiri than "The Heart Throbs" or "La' Resistance."
Scotty 2 Hotty- For the same reason I'm moving Cade.

[The Dork Knight]

SmackDown!
Randy Orton
Edge
Hurricane
Rob Conway
Val Venis

RAW
Kurt Angle
Doug Basham
Rey Mysterio
The Dudley Boyz (Bubba & D-Von)

I also think that the new roster split is going to lead to the debuts of Frankie Kazarian, Psychosis, Juventud Guerrera, and Super Crazy.
