So here's a guest editorial from the Torch on who should switch were there to be a draft. I wondered who you guys think should switch:

As everyone gears up for WrestleMania, I think the WWE should be planning the night after when a the Draft Lottery takes place. I see this as a crucial opportunity to refresh Raw and Smackdown and supply new matches to headline 2005's pay-per-views. I therefore present my lottery picks. I have tried to select from the perspective of what will be best for both brands future. I believe I have also worked within the confines of what is realistically possible in WWE's current climate rather than choose based on my personal preference.

FROM SMACKDOWN TO RAW:

The Undertaker: I know that Taker is a locker room leader on Smackdown, but hopefully my other picks will balance this out. Taker has wrestled and beaten everyone on Smackdown and this should give him something new to do. Plus Triple H will need big, high-profile opponents to tangle with while Batista establishes himself as champion. Plus a match with the new champ down the line could help elevate Batista.

The Big Show: Again, he has been on Smackdown for a long while now, again he provides a big opponent for Triple H. Again he could make Batista look good. Show can also take Kane's place as the guy to beat before wrestlers move onto the main event.

Hardcore Holly: Raw is full of lower card heels (Hassan, Simon Dean, Maven etc.) and no mid-card faces who they can take on. I perceive a gap between glorified jobbers in Hurricane, Rosey, and Val Venis and Shelton Benjamin at the top of the heap. So Holly moves in to give them a meaningful opponent to feud with before they move up the card. Plus good news for Renee Dupree.

Orlando Jordan: This is assuming WWE wants to push him. I assume the Cabinet will not stay together forever. Here is a chance for Jordan to make a splash in the Raw mid-card. Feuds with Benjamin and Benoit should give him a chance to improve.

The fifth Raw spot can go to a referee, announcer, general manager, diva etc. just to prove everyone is subject to the lottery.

FROM RAW TO SMACKDOWN

Shawn Michaels: No one wants to see him take on Triple H again do they? Now he can improve the work rate of Smackdown's main events and help replace Undertaker in the locker room. Potential for matches is great as Angle, Cena, Guerrero and Mysterio await him.

Kane: Again he should help replace Undertaker. Also with Show and Taker on Raw he will become the big man on Smackdown and probably feud with...

Gene Snitsky: I know Smackdown won't want him but he would be able to form a tag team with Heidenreich which would be something.

Rhyno: I think he can be a real mid-card asset and he has been buried on Raw for too long.

Chris Jericho: He has been in Hunter's shadow for too long. Here he has a chance as a babyface to get under JBL's skin or as a heel wind up Cena. Again he should help improve the workrate and could even wrestle the odd cruiserweight. Matches with Guerrero and Mysterio could be good.

So there you have it. The Game stays busy while Batista tries to become the man. Smackdown gains some much needed fresh main event talent and I feel there is a fairly even exchange of locker room leaders. I hope WWE puts lots of thought into the lottery so that there single-brand pay-per-views in 2005 are better than those in 2004.

If Anyone needs to go to Raw, it's Kurt Angle. He's been on Smackdown since day 1 of the Brand Split, and has ran out of people to wrestle that wouldn't be the same match he's had the last few years.

I disagree with putting the fucking UNDERTAKER on Raw. It's bad enough you have Trips on it, but put the 2nd biggest ego stroke and you'll have such great main event rematches from KOTR 2002's suckfest between the two.

Big Show was already on RAW, and was treated like a joke, plus he has no one to feud with except Triple H, and we all know how that will end.

The Draft (if it actually happens) should be moving midcarders around to freshen things up and MAYBE a main eventer, not main eventers who will just wrestle each other in 2 months and give us the same boring matches.

The only two on that list that make sense are Jericho and Rhyno. I don't like Rhyno, but the guy has shown he can get over. He should get the chance again.

Jericho should be a main eventer, regardless of which show he is on.
