There has been recent talk of splitting the current WWF roster into two separate rosters. Vince McMahon has delayed it a few times already and the question has been raised of whether he should or should not make the roster split. Will the split help the world of wrestling or will it hurt it?

My take is that it can only help the situation. Let me explain what I mean. If Vince splits the WWF roster and possibly creates a separate show for the second group, we could at least have a little bit of variety. Not only could he use the wrestlers that split off from the current WWF roster, but he could also use the current wrestlers in Ohio Valley Wrestling and other developmental federations. OVW has many wrestlers that are very good and could make a tremendous impact on the wrestling world.

Even though the same company would own both groups, it at least gives fans something to compare. We can have interesting debates on which group is better and possibly arrange fantasy matches between each group. It would be as if we had another WCW all over again, except better. Keep them separate for at least a year and let fans form their opinion on which group is better.

Now, let me present this question. Which wrestlers do you split off from the current WWF roster? Do you keep all the main event guys in the WWF and try to form new main event wrestlers in the new group, or do you bring over some of the main event guys to help give the new group a bigger push? I believe there are two sides to this. If you do not bring any main event wrestlers over to the new group, you can create new stars and give guys such as Kanyon, Edge, Christian, RVD, and Rhyno chances to prove their abilities. On the other hand, if you bring current main event wrestlers such as Angle, Kane, Stone Cold, or Booker T to the new group, you give that group a better chance of gaining popularity very quickly.

Now, this is assuming that the roster split will even take place. It’s possible that we will not even see it, but the latest news is that it could happen sometime after Wrestlemania. The nWo is poised to make a big return to the WWF very soon. That should really shake things up a bit and give the fans some very interesting storylines. I can’t wait to see how McMahon will add his own little twist on the nWo group. Some wrestling fans are against the return of Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, and Hulk Hogan. Others, like myself, are for it completely. I think they will make a great impact and really add some spice to the current storylines. I like the idea of mixing old stars with some of the new, younger talent. We can see Hogan square off against The Rock, Nash face off against HHH, and Hall go up against Angle. Now that the WWF has brought in Curt Hennig, Goldust, Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, and Hulk Hogan, it will be a very interesting blend of the old and the new. I can’t wait to see how all of this develops. It will also be interesting to see who will become part of the newly reformed nWo.

One last little point that I would like to bring up is the situation with the current WWF title. Are we going to see the current champ walk around with two belts from now on, or is the WWF going to scrap the old WCW belt and just go with the current WWF title? If the roster split does take place, they can use the old WCW title as the world title for the new group. If they don't go that route, I would like to see them make a new belt. Since the two belts have been unified, maybe they could come up with a design that blends the look of both belts into one. That’s just a little thought that is running around in my cranium today that I thought I would share with all the fans. I am curious to know what the fans think.

In next week’s column, I will be addressing the Intercontinental title race. The IC belt does not seem as valuable as it once did. If you think about, the IC belt sort of acts as the world title to the mid-card wrestlers. It’s about time that the belt regains its importance and I know just the wrestlers that can make that happen.
