I could see it. Raw has too many faces on it right now. If you consider that the company probably has at any time, about 10 top guys, there are a few clear ones:

Shawn Michaels (RAW-face)
HHH (RAW- face)
Orton (RAW-heel)
Cena (RAW- face)
Big Show (RAW- heel)
Jericho (SD- heel)
Batista (SD-face)
Edge (SD-heel)
Undertaker (SD-face)
CM Punk (SD- heel)
-Rey Jr is debateable. He's obviously very over, but not a legit title contendor, ditto Kane. There are a lot of guys they are pushing (Cody Rhodes, Morrison, Miz, Kingston, Christian, Swagger) but I think most would agree those are the "stars".

The talent is pretty evenly distributed, but RAW is too face heavy. Have Cena go to Smackdown, maybe with a little bit of a darker side (please?) and when Edge is healthy have him re-debut on RAW, maybe have Booker come back on RAW as well.

So whats next for Chavo? Are they going to make him job to little kids and old ladies at Wrestlemania Axxess?

[bearsfan_51]

Why does everyone care about Chavo? He's best known for being Eddie's nephew and being a clown that does funny things, why shouldn't he job? At 39 years old and as not-that-over as he is on his own, that's pretty appropriate, midgets or not.

His best gimmick was probably when he was friends with a pony on a stick.

plus considerin g that Dibiase is turning face according to rumors I guess you're right just still seems a bit hard to believe

Marty freaking Jannetty.

As for Chavo I think he should go to ECW he is never going to be more then he is but there he could help groom the young guys.

My bad I stopped watching ECW for a long time it was so bad just now started watching it again.

That said I still believe in my post he is wasting away on Raw as is Matt Hardy on SD.

[bearsfan_51]

Matt Hardy sucks. Sucks so much.

This. He's a midcarder at best.

Prowrestling.net is reporting that Nigel McGuiness is backstage at the TNA tapings today, and that Bryan Danielson may be on his way to the company as well. Apparently, they had agreed IN PRINCIPLE to WWE deals, but WWE may have dragged its feet and took their sweet time in signing them.

That would be a big time coo (Is that how it's spelled) for TNA.

Coup. But yes, I think both of their styles would fit better in TNA anyway. I'm a big fan of Danielson. Both would really help strengthen TNA's roster.

In addition, Tomko is backstage and is expected to work the tapings tonight, but it isn't known if he'll be back longterm or not.

[comahan]

Jim Ross suffered a third attack of Bells Palsy on a flight to the SD tapings. Its not bad, but he wont be calling this weeks Smackdown, and is flying back to OKC to see a neurologist

Best of luck to JR!

-The main event for next month's Turning Point PPV is rumored to be A.J. Styles vs. Daniels vs. Samoa Joe in a re-match of the classic Unbreakable 2005 main event.

-A.J. Styles vs. Kurt Angle is expected to main event a PPV in the near future.

-Daniels suffered a slight shoulder seperation and concussion in Ultimate-X, but is still expected to work.

-Daffney suffered a broken arm in the Mick Foley/Abyss match going through the barbed wire tables and is expected to miss some time.

-The finish from the Joe/Lashley match at Bound For Glory was botched by Earl Hebner. Hebner was supposed to wait for Samoa Joe to look like he was out of it and then call for the bell.

-The finish from the A.J. Styles vs. Sting was supposed to end with a Springboard 450 Splash.

-Abyss mistimed the referee counts, and thought that the first count wasn't a count, which is why he kicked out after 3.

-With the finish at Bound For Glory, TNA is discussing doing a Tara/Kim Couture pro-wrestling match on one of the next PPV's.

-The Kevin Nash Big Sexy Tour is still likely to be fixed. The early buzz was that Candice Michelle may be brought in using that route, but they are now reporting it could be a vehicle to introduce former WWE Diva Lena Yada. Lena was in attendance at Bound for Glory this past Sunday, though the event was in her home state of California and she was supposedly visiting good friend, Tara.

Thoughts and prayers out to good old JR.

That first bit of news is awesome!

[comahan]

From Meltzer on the F4W board.

Don't criticize WWE for this. Hopefully I can write the story in detail by tomorrow but all the key elements are still off the record. Suffice to say it's very different than being reported.

Bryan not part of this deal.

Also, there will be plenty more at TV tonight.
