I would personally like him to be with Sin Cara so that he can be a mouthpiece for the team and down the line set up the feud between them both for Mania.

I think this is a pretty good idea.  Mysterio is so boring as a singles wrestler, and Sin Cara hasn't been very over since his return.  This would be a good way to put some energy behind both of them as well as putting a dominant, exciting tag team in the division.
But I just don't see it happening.

If interested to see what they do with Otunga if he really is no longer aligned with Johnny.

Also I think switching Sheamus to Raw and Punk to SD might open up potential opponents for them freshen things up some where down the line once their respective programs run its course...

You CAN'T flipflop Show to a face this quickly.  WWE is hurting for heels, so leave him as is for a while.  He could use a slight makeover though as you said.
As for Punk and Sheamus, they're on every Raw and Smackdown and face whoever anyway, so it doesn't matter.  WWE will make whatever matches they want regardless of what "brand" guys are officially on.

To answer your questions...
Brodus is going nowhere.  He'll probably get squashed by Show at an upcoming PPV.

Otunga is an entertaining character but not a good wrestler.  And the IC/US Titles mean nothing, so actually, they'd be a perfect fit for him.

The belts already mean nothing, and you want to bring back more titles?  Santino doesn't even carry the US Title to the ring anymore.

Punk is not a ratings draw, nor has he headlined a PPV is months.

We don't need a GM.  Unfortunately, it's lazy WWE writers who have done the same thing for years and years and years instead of coming up with a new TV concept.

And we don't need any Shane o Mac.  Dude is awful and one of the most overrated "talents" in history.

For a wrestler to just rest on those ropes, when no one else EVER does outside of a match with Mysterio, is flabbergasting. 

It just makes no sense.

I hate the 619 as well.  Such a stupid move.

Right now, the task at hand is to negotiate with Flair a legends contract as well as a talent contract to compensate him for his work for whatever time he would be on television weekly as a manager for Ziggler.

It seems WWE creative is going in the direction of having Ziggler with a manager regardless, as Mason Ryan is being kept in the conversation, potentially if Flair doesn't end up in the role with Ziggler.

One source did say there is also some hesitation among some in WWE as to whether they want to bring Flair in for a weekly role. While Flair is always respected for who he is, his age as well as his history of going off script at times and doing things his way has been brought up as concerns in the Ric Flair creative discssion.

Again, nothing at the current time has been signed and put in place but we're told this is being entertained as a serious possibility if all negotiations get finalized.

There was an injunction put into place from the judge presiding over the TNA lawsuit vs. WWE that no TNA worker under contract within the last 60 days can be hired by WWE. The hiring freeze will eventually lift and the Flair thing will sort itself out but those creative plans will most likely have changed by then. This is somewhat of the reason why they re-established Vickie's relationship with Dolph this past Monday.

The major part of the reason is in my next post.

6 rings MJ, good catch.

Correct, and Jerry McDivitt stated to the judge that WWE has NO interest in hiring any TNA talent at this time.  This applies to both Flair and Morgan, who are in bad situations now as far as going to WWE.

Because Bret is a Wrestling Observer Hall of Famer and Sting is not.
 
Tonight (I assume)...

With Meth breathing down my back the last several month, PG-era Club has been toned down a bit, ill give you that...

But tonight, the revolution BEGINS! The era of a truly dominant champion will take the reigns, and a fighting (and frequently defending) champion is what this company needs.

Tonight, it all begins again.

I would just like to throw it out there that I would mark if WWE brought back Steiner for RAW 1000 to squash my favorite jobber... Heath Slater.

Steiner's at his very worst is entertaining. Regardless, he was solid at impact until his departure. Hell, he even pulled off a few frankensteiners. With that said I wouldn't mind a single match from him on RAW 1000 ala Vader.

CLUB26.. WE COMING FO YOU

Maybe. Eh.. probably. Game face on!

In what has to be considered a major success for TNA, Slammiversary did an early estimated buy rate of around 14,000-15,000 buys, which is almost double the amount of buys from last year, which was estimated at 7,500. The number is also way up from the average TNA PPV buy rate, which is usually around 7,000-10,000

SPEAKING OF TNA.. IT'S IMPACT WRESTLING NIGHT, BROTHERS

Did you think TNA wouldn't be able to top themselves last week? Well think again, because tonight, it's Open Fight Night.

Now that the Bound For Glory Series is underway and the 12 men involved - Samoa Joe, Bully Ray, Robbie E., Magnus, Kurt Angle, AJ Styles, Rob Van Dam, Jeff Hardy, Pope Dinero, Daniels, James Storm, and Mr. Anderson - have been announced, it's time for the participants to start earning points. And on OFN, the only way to do that is to call out your opponent. If you're called out, you have to accept. With six men making call-outs, and six matches to be decided, you better believe James Storm, who earned a huge lead with 20 points after winning the opening gauntlet match last week, will have a huge target on his back.

But first, opening the program, we'll hear from X-Division Champion Austin Aries and learn his decision to GM Hulk Hogan's main event proposal. Will he give up his hard-earned and defended X-Division Championship for a shot at TNA Heavyweight Champion Bobby Roode at Destination X?

Even more questions as future Hall of Famer Sting was viciously attacked by three masked men at the close of the program last week. Will we learn who and why? Even if not, one thing we've been guaranteed to learn is the truth behind the scandal that's rocked TNA, between AJ Styles and President Dixie Carter. They've vowed to come clean and reveal all tonight.

Plus, the Knockouts Championship will be on the line! KO Exec Brooke Hogan teased three challengers for champ Miss Tessmacher. Who will they be?

And if that weren't enough, the return of the monthly Gutcheck, where one newcomer will get the chance to prove themselves to the TNA judges with a tryout match. Will they make the cut? Find out tonight!
 
We will be running the KOTR results LIVE after IMPACT WRESTLING.

There will be a collaborative stream tube & NT posting at the time. Stay tuned throughout IMPACT for up to the minute NTWT KOTR details.
 
Are they tryin to make Austin Aries the CM Punk of TNA? Undersized wrestler, former ROH world champ, good Mic skills, and puts on exciting matches.
 
Starting up Impact a little late.  Catching up on the DVR.  Austin Aries time
