I think WWE should kill the split shows, I've said it a hundred times before, and I'm going to say it again.
Killing the Split. Phase 1
The Opening Blow that destroys the split should be taking the Belt from Brock...
Ok, before I continue, I have to say that in this War, Smackdown will need to be the "good guys" in the situation, and Raw needs to be the bad guys. Why? Well, look at Raw, They have all the heels they will ever need, and Smackdown actually has faces who the crowd love. So, I say let HHH keep his trophy for the war at least.
...It should start with a Raw wrestler coming to SD and annoying the hell out of Brock and Angle and Steph. I don't know exactly who would work here, but I am going to say Jericho because he has the Mic skills.
Every time Brock Fights, Jericho should come out to Ring side and try to make him lose, week after week after week, and at one point (a PVV) have Jericho almost cost him the title.
Then, the next week, with Jericho still under contract to Raw, Brock should Call him out and Jericho will deny every match he wants unless there is a title involved. Of course, Brock will accept a title match with Jericho for the next PPV... or, to make it even more blockbuster, the next Smackdown.
In this match Brock should beat the hell out of Jericho, but, in the end, have another Raw Roster wrestler interfere and put Brock to sleep so Jericho can win the title. Who should do this? HHH (and evolution) of course
Then, Jericho should make the painful announcement after the match that he is never going to show his face on Smackdown again...
ok, the reason for this set up (if you already haven't figured out) is to give Smackdown a motive to fight Raw, this is the start of low blows
On the next Raw, Bischoff should announce that it was all his plan to prove once again that Raw is the superior product. But after his gloating, Steph should come out on Raw and announce that Brock has a re-match clause in his contract, and that Jericho will have to defend his title the next Week against Brock.
Bishoff angry at first should get happy and be proud to announce that Jericho vs Brock for the Title will be on Raw, and Steph is fine with it... Then Brock comes out and announces that he wants a HIAC match to keep interference away. Brock and Steph exit the arena and the show is back to normal.
Ok, what have I done? If you really think about it, the shows have already been merged if this event were to happen, but read on, it gets worse
The night that Bischoff announced the HIAC for next week, he also announces that the Main event for the Show will be Jericho vs HHH, why? To solidify the Title as being Raw exclusive. Of course, everybody thinks Jericho will lose.
In the match Jericho and HHH will be battling it out, evolution will interfere numerous times to keep Jericho from beating HHH, and with a nasty ending HHH will pedigree Jericho, pin him, 1...2...
. At this point Brock will interfere, pull the Ref's leg and make the Match a DQ costing HHH the undisputed championship.
Once again, more motivation for a Raw/SD war, but this time it's not bickering between wrestlers, Bishoff has a reason to be mad at Brock now
The next Smackdown, Angle should have a match with Big Show, in which Angle will be screwed over by Ric Flair, and Big Show will demolish him. In a bold move Steph will come out and tell Bischoff that if he likes Big Show so much, take him, and trade him for Goldberg.
On Raw, Bischoff will accept the trade, and Goldberg will go packing to Smackdown, a place where he will get the respect he deserves (riiight
).
Of course, this same night there is the re-match for the WWE title. Tensions are high Back stage because a lot of people have it out for Brock, but he will be kept safe in a special Smackdown locker room which is going to be protected by Goldberg and Angle.
Before the match starts HHH will Challenge Brock to a match at the next PPV, and all titles brought into the match will have to be defended... No Reply from Brock. Then HHH will go on calling Brock weak, and talking about how he ran from HHH before and that he was scared to go one on one with him. At this point Brock comes out and gladly accepts HHH's offer, title, or no title. But... after acceptance, Bishoff comes out and says that he doesn't want HHH to fight brock and he doesn't approve of the match, and says that it will not happen.
Later this same night The Rock should make his comeback, and announce that he is angry with the trade Bishoff and Steph made and that he wants a rematch with Goldberg. He will also make straight blows at the audience for cheering him last time instead of Goldberg, and call them names and try his hardest to fight the fans head up.
Then, finally, the match to end this "turning point" show, Jericho vs Brock Part: II HIAC. Much unlike every other match I listed, this one will not have any huge interference HHH and Flair will come to ringside, but not lay a finger on anybody. Brock wins cleanly. HHH seems satisfied with the result.
ah yes, reminds me of the good ol days... any wrestling fan may say the end will be predictable, but eh, we'lll see
On Smackdown Steph and Bischoff will sign the Match for The Rock vs Goldberg 2, and now that SD got it's belt back, Bishoff thinks that Brock vs HHH should happen so he can win the belt back on Raw, and Steph agrees to it.
Also, on this SD Jericho will beg for another Re-Match, and Steph denies it, but gives him a match that can make him the #1 contender in a three way match vs Goldberg and Kurt Angle. In this match Goldberg will have control until The Rock comes out and takes him fighting back stage. Then Angle will go over Jericho cleanly to get a shot at the WWE title after the coming PPV.
At this point, a week will be skipped, why? Well, there is nothing in this coming week worth typing, and nothing that has anything to with destroying the split.
So, now we are at the PPV, there are two main matches that are about to happen, Rock vs Goldberg II, and Triple H vs Brock.
Rock vs Goldberg II: At this point, I still see the fans being on The Rock's side, but that is just fine. At the end of this Match Goldberg will spere The Rock, and Put him in the Jack Hammer. In the middle of the count Goldberg will stand up as none other than Steve Austin comes out. Austin and Goldberg will be in a stare down and the fans will definitely be on Austin's side on this. Rock Will give Goldberg a low Blow and try to pin him. Austin will kick him out and give Rock a Stunner, Goldberg wins, and Austin announces his allegiance with SMackdown even though he will remain the co-manager of Raw.
HHH vs Brock Obviously will be the most anticipated match of the year if it happened this year, even more anticipated than WM itself. This will be a complete toss up... to the fans at least.
after a good 20 minutes of fighting, like all HHH matches, cheating will start. First evolution comes out, and they get chased off by Angle and Goldberg. 5 more minutes of slow battling later and Stephanie McMahon comes out, and walks to the ring... then she steps back on to the ramp and waves somebody in from the back stage.
The lights dim nWo Music starts to play... but then out of nowhere BAM...
...
...
The Referee hits Brock Lensar over the head with a Steel chair, HHH pins and wins, and Steph just walks away with a crooked smile on her face. What just happened???
Stay tuned for phase two, the second step in bringing the shows together.
Discussion: What do you believe happend? Why do you think it happend? Why do you think I would go this route?
Well, just remember, the goal is to make two shows become one agaion, and every move I make gets it closer to that reality
