Join SmackDown! when the new era begins from Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Watch RAW to see the draft first-hand, and then tune into the first SmackDown! in this new era. SmackDown! General Manager Paul Heyman said that he welcomes change after his Superstars abandoned him two weeks ago when Stone Cold Steve Austin gave Heyman the Stunner, will he be happy with the results of the lottery? Watch SmackDown! and find out.

Β 

Which teams will be broken up? What rivalries will end? Who will be the first to engage in new rivalries? Watch RAW to see the draft lottery and watch SmackDown! at 8/7 CT on UPN to see the beginning of the new era. Don’t miss it!

A new GM and superstar trades lined up for smackdown!

Think Charlie Hass will go over to RAW?

Will Booker T go to smackdown?

Whos the new GM going to be? Triple h?

Whats gonna happen if stephanie mcmahon is new gm, between her and HHH?

Has shane got a chance of being GM or will Vince hoist himself in?

WWE.com has learned that the role of SmackDown! General Manager has been assumed by former WWE Champion Kurt Angle.

Β 

In replacing Paul Heyman, Kurt Angle’s first order of business was to mold the SmackDown! roster to his liking. In an attempt to do so, Angle has completed two trades with RAW General Manager Eric Bischoff.

Β 

The first trade sends F.B.I. member Chuck Palumbo and A-Train to RAW for the combination of the sexy Miss Jackie and Rico.

Β 

The second trade is a blockbuster three-for-one deal. RAW’s Eric Bischoff has agreed to send the Dudley Boyz and Booker T to SmackDown! in exchange for former World Heavyweight Champion Triple H. This announcement comes straight off the heels of Triple H being chosen by SmackDown! in the draft lottery just 24 hours prior.

Β 

Be sure to check back here as more information becomes available.

Β 

Straight from over at WWE.com

Β 

Ok...I wonder what they were smoking when they came up with this idea?

Β 

Kurt Angle as Smackdown General Manager?!?!...I didn't see that one coming.

HHH Back on Raw!?!?!?... What?

From http://www.liveaudiowrestling.com/WO

Β 

'WWE.com just reported that Kurt Angle is the new Smackdown General Manager, which was the major angle expected on tonight's show in Grand Rapids.

Β 

In addition, the HHH thing last night was a swerve. The explanation is that Eric Bischoff sent the Dudleys and Booker T to Smackdown in a 3-for-1 trade to get HHH back. The Rico & Jackie Gayda switch to Smackdown was announced as a trade for A-Train and Chuck Palumbo.'

DAMN THEM TO HADES...Xx;

Β 

I wanted to see how Trips would have been treated on SD!, but now I'm subjected to THIS.

Β 

Booker T, okay - not such a bad deal, but the DUDLEYZ?

Β 

<Thummbs down.>

Β 

NOT what I wanted to hear, quite frankly - I feel so feckin' annoyed now. Oo;

Β 

And also...RICO? <Claws eyes out.> NO, NO, NO!!!

Β 

GEEZUS H CHRYSLER...that's what I get for 'High expectations.'

Β 

Angle as GM...I'm not sure - gimme a few weeks to see how it works out. XP

Β 

But I'm still a l'il annoyed that Trips is now back on Raw. Xx; Son's of beeeyatches.

Angle as GM = INSPIRED Choice. Top marks, considering he can't wrestle.

well wasnt this shakup supposed to even out the rosters? hhmm

Β 

well it hasnt at all, which means surely they have to do some pushing thus top 8 each side should be *providing they get pushed or people who actually are getting pushed*

Β 

RAW-

Β 

HBK, Benoit, HHH, Orton, Jericho, Kane, Rhyno, Edge

Β 

SD-

Β 

Eddie, Booker, RVD, Undertaker, Bradshaw (read the spoilers unfortunately)

Cena, Big Show, and I'm still thinking of the last one.

Β 

Hhhmm still isnt very even, and the Bradshaw push 203# is still ridiculous, but well it has potential to do ok, providing they do actually push new people, and not just push the same as before. However that was what was supposed to happen last time, and it didnt happen. Hhhmm we'll see.

Angle as Gm! Fantastic

I love the idea of Kurt Angle as the new GM of SmackDown :xyx

Β 

Not sure about the rest of the show though :?

So will there be no more trades now?
Nope, that's it. SD is screwed.
Well the new draft has been a huge let down if you ask me.
smackdown is crap now never was any good but 1 major playa left taker wwe has messed sd up bad

Damit! I was really looking forward to seeing Triple H on smackdown.

I think the Kurt Angle as GM angle sounds pretty cool to be quite honest (well, to be honest he's probably the next best thing to Stephanie anyway! ,lol)

And on the note of waht the shows will be like now, well if trips has definitely been taken back to Raw then I think Smackdown's in a very desperate position. IMO they should get Cena to loose the U.S. Title asap (To be honest it would be quite cool to see a decent title change hands on raw/smackdown for once, I don't remember anything like that since HHH won the wwf title against the big show in January 2000) Anyway! so Cena should loose the title to whoever, RVD or somebody, doesnt matter really! Then put him into the WWE title stage against the Champ is at the time, this should put some pride back in the Smackdown show.

Sooo...

Β 

In short, nothing's really changed - and the lies stay the same. XP

Β 

Somebody had better have a damn good plan behind all of this, because from what I see, somebody has really screwed the dog this time.

Β 

Vince - I'm lookin' in YOUR direction...Oo;

ok guys this is my first post so i would first like to say high. now i would love to know what vince is thinking first samkdown could have been great with HHH, but know they traded him for mid card people. wich was a just plain dumb than they make kurt asthe gm please give me a brake kurt just sucks!!!!! he will never make the change from wrestler to gm as good as stonecold did. if they keep kurt as gm than why not trade stonecold to smackdown to keep kurt in line because they are great together it could make for some funny shows does any 1 else think that stonecold should be traded
Why the hell do smackdown get renee dupree thodore long and spike dudley? whta the shitaky is up with that? RVD yay but the othersd1 bloody hell. And i wanted edge too!

Β 

Yardbirds, that one BIG ASS run on sentence.

Β 

Anyhoo:

Β 

Kurt does not suck, and will be a great heel GM. I actually think he'll do a lot better in the role because he won't constantly be getting put over the actual talent, and if he does occassionally get in the ring, it will be a great match.

HHH back to RAW BLOWS, the stoyline w/o him was much more interesting
