Re: Im quite impressed with WWE's attempts to rebuild a tag division and improve the

When WWE start using the Intercontinental title and Tag Team titles on PPV on a regular basis then i'll be impressed with them using those divisions but right now neither title is any more important than it was last year or the year before, the last time it really mattered was Mysterio/Jericho in 2009 if i'm honest. There is potential in Christian/Rhodes to be a great feud and produce great matches especially with there being no Randy Orton, Alberto Del Rio or Chris Jericho involved in the show right now meaning more focus on them.

In Tyson Kidd/Justin Gabriel, Darren Young/Titus O'Neill, The Uso Brothers, Epico/Primo and Tyler Reks/Curt Hawkins there is a lot of potential especially the first four teams i've said but if they are going to only wrestle on Superstars or NXT then they don't matter because barely anyone watches those shows. I would stop using Kofi Kingston as a Tag Team wrestler because he is without doubt the most popular mid card face and actually elevates a mid card title when he has it or has great matches with the mid card heel holding the title, i'd like the mid card and Tag Team divisions to look like this.

Raw mid card

Kofi Kingston, Evan Bourne, Zack Ryder, Ted DiBiase and Santino Marella as the faces and The Miz, Jack Swagger, David Otunga, Seth Rollins and R-Truth as the heels

SmackDown mid card

Rey Mysterio, Sin Cara, Christian, Kassius Ohno, Brodus Clay and Richie Steamboat as the faces and Cody Rhodes, Dean Ambrose, Antonio Cesaro, Damien Sandow, Hunico and Drew McIntyre

Tag Team scene

The Usos, Darren Young/Titus O'Neill, The Rotunda Brothers, Tyson Kidd/Justin Gabriel, Epico/Primo and Curt Hawkins/Tyler Reks

That would leave a main event scene of John Cena, Randy Orton, CM Punk, Sheamus, Chris Jericho, Alberto Del Rio, Kane, The Big Show, Bryan Danielson and Dolph Ziggler with Brock Lesnar, Triple H, The Undertaker and The Rock around part time to boost buyrates at the biggest PPV's when needed such as WrestleMania, SummerSlam and Survivor Series.

Dean Ambrose on Smackdown. No. Raw is clearly the main show and this guy is going to be the companies main heel for years to come. Seth Rollins Heel. No. The love child of Jeff Hardy and JoMo his in ring work is already getting him massive pops at house shows. Rotunda Brothers tag. No. why waste Bray Wyatt and Bo is a natural face.

So Dean Ambrose is simply going to come in and instantly be the top heel in WWE straight off the bat then, no. People need to be built up over time and whilst some people know him as Jon Moxley and what he can do a hell of a lot of people who don't use forums or read dirt sheets have no idea who he is therefore much like CM Punk and Bryan Danielson will need to be built up first which on Raw isn't possible.

Even Stevie Wonder could see that Dolph Ziggler is a super talented in ring worker and potentially a top heel but he is lost on Raw because unless your in one of the two top feuds on Raw your basically filler for the show and just thrown on a PPV with no build. If Dean Ambrose is to be anywhere near as successful as people believe then he needs to be built up which is what SmackDown is basically for as John Cena, Brock Lesnar, Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, JBL, Rey Mysterio, Ken Anderson, MVP, Dolph Ziggler and Cody Rhodes can all be used as examples for over the years as people get over on SmackDown and get built up before they move to Raw and Dean Ambrose should be no different.

Do you really want to see Dean Ambrose get pushed for a month or two before WWE creative not knowing what to do after the initial push and then throwing him in with Vickie Guerrero or feuding with Santino and Hornswoggle because unless Dean Ambrose is feuding with one of John Cena or CM Punk or maybe Triple H in one of his two or three a year feuds then that is the outcome. Over on SmackDown it may be seen by people that don't understand the concept of SmackDown these days that he is on the secondary show but the reality is he will get much more exposure and become a much better all round talent with time on SmackDown and being a major part of a show that uses their mid card and main event scene quite close together rather than three or four minutes on Raw and going nowhere.
