I have the greatest respect for Ric Flair. He has had a fantastic career and what he's still doing today at his age ... simply fantastic

But SmackDown needs a strong heel (or two!) who can work single matches for the top contending belts (WWE and US).

Flair has a perfect role in RAW. He's part of the brand's heel faction and with Batista he has the best partner he could afford, considering Flair's age, to challenge for the tag gold.
His time for single title glory has passed, that's why it's pretty useless to bring him over to SmackDown. Certainly if you know that Flair has currently the perfect role cut out for him at RAW.

If Smackdown needs a heel or two then two suggestions I could make are HHH and Trishtian as I like to call the two. (Not sure why!)

HHH would give Eddie G one hell of a run for his money since I can't think of any other heel ready to take on Latino Heat right now. THIS COULD ALSO STOP THE HBK FEUD as it's been going on WAAAAAY too long! :nod:

Trish could add to the heel department on Smackdown's women's division. Whilst Christian could give Cena some competition for the US Title.

In exchange, Sable can join RAW as there are almost no face women on RAW. Plus JBL could fuck off to RAW to get trounced in the IC division. In the inevitable event that Edge get's the belt, JBL V Edge would be interesting.

HHH vs Eddie could sell.
But as long as WWE doesn't get enough with HBK vs HHH, it can't happen ...

Chirstian vs Cena would be good! RVD vs Cena?

JBL is barely worth IC division ...

Duffyboy

Oh yeah, and one other key point.....

Where's Goldberg?

NDD

Goldberg's contract was not renewed.

JBL is totally worthy of the WWE Title. I couldn't be more interested in the JBL/Guerrero storyline. It's awesome and there's a ton of heat. Smackdown! hasn't had such a passionate and interesting feud in months.

But this is a Bad Blood thread. So let's try to stay a bit more on topic.

MMB

Like Nick said, no new contract. He also had hand surgery recently.


Scott Steiner is slowly recovering from his hip injury, but his contract is running out in the early fall. I don't see him getting a new contract either



You're right.
But for once I was posting again in wresting topics ...


Who do you think Randy Orton will defend his title against?

And what about the tam team division with Edge and Benoit holding the gold? Two matches for Benoit at one ppv? Or could they drop the titles on RAW? Or after the ppv?

Duffyboy

I'd say La Resistance or another heel team will get a cheap win and win the titles off them before Bad Blood.

Sorry, but I don't think JBL is ready yet. I'd say Faarooq was more ready than him but WHO do they release?....

I know Randy said that he doesnt wanna defend his title againest Shelton Benjiman, BUT I could see it happening without Randy's permissition or maybe againest Edge again but make it a Ladder Match or something, that would be cool.

Orton vs Benjamin vs Y2J vs Edge.

That would rock. Tornado match!

NDD

I would like to see Edge get back to mixing it up with Orton. I was excited when I saw him interupt after Orton spat in Harley Race's face. This could set up another two man power trip like Austin and Triple H back in 2001, only this wouldn't be a power trip, it would be a face force. Edge and Benoit holding the tag titles and the two most prestigious singles belts.

That's what I want to see at least. But I really have no idea what to predict. I'm baffled. And I like that.

Realistically, I see Orton defending against Shelton Benjamin. It's hard to tell. But that's my gut instinct.
