Well I'll go with the 12 who I think will change on the night, I can see SmackDown and Raw each getting 5 each, while ECW get the final 2, I hadn't read through this thread before I did the little draft game on WWE.com, but it seems my line of thinking falls in with what a lot of people have been saying in some place, while in others, I seem to go on the complete contrary.
First of all, it's Monday Night Raaaaaaaaaaaawr.
Draft One - Triple H - It just feels like a no brainer to me, he can't resist being on Raw at least once a month anyway, and it would be a perfect fit, he has no ties on SmackDown that he will be leaving behind in terms of tag partners, I honestly believe he will retain at Backlash and with 3 of the 4 Potential Title Holders post-Backlash being on Raw I see Cena losing to Edge who will remain on SmackDown and pretty much rule the roost.
Draft Two - Big Show - Instead of moving Edge, pair Vickie and Big Show together for real and it should mean that it keeps her fresh as a character, crowd reactions to her and Edge have been dwindling, still much greater than anyone else on SD! but not as loud as they were, a change was needed and it will only help Show and Vickie, as well as helping Edge have a break from it, which he really needs.
Draft Three - Christian - Why does he have to follow Edge around everywhere? Edge does not need Christian and Christian does not need Edge, not now anyway, while I look at CC in the highest light possible and he is one of my favorites, not everyone will have really gotten into the swing of him being back, let's see how he can handle the A-Show and make him into a worthy competitor for Edge, Edge needs to be in title matches, a Edge/Christian match would make no sense at all for now.
Draft 4 - MVP - Has to happen really, will add some charisma to the undercard division, he is in a hot run and putting him on a larger stage will give him a place to shine.
Draft 5 - Matt Hardy - One of them has to move, it's clear, but after the events on Smackdown, I see them leaving Jeff off of the Draft show altogether, so it's a case of Matt leaving, it might hamper his career to go to Raw, but I can't see a more logical way for this pick to pan out really, maybe it'll allow him to really find his feel being in amongst the big time players.
Next it's Friday Night Smackdown
Pick One - Jack Swagger - I was so hesitant on this one, because noone on ECW seems like they'll beat him for the title, save Christian, who will be on his way to Raw, however, this seems like a good move, maybe Finlay will get the title for a while, which would work for a transitional period, which the draft always is. As much as I dislike Swagger and his lisping interviews, he just gets ignored on ECW because of lack of contendors, Christian always tied up doing something else and everyone else sucking.
Pick Two - CM Punk - Arguably the smartest move they could make on the night, Smackdown will have Edge as Champion, which means the onus for him to cash in is actually there, he just won't cash in on Orton/Triple H/Cena, who will likely be champions for the next year, so get him on Smackdown, have him flirt around with the top superstars and really milk his Briefcase and get him to create another classic Raw moment.
Pick Three - Chris Jericho - Just make it so, he has nowhere to go now, none of the main titles have any niches for him to go into, so get him on Smackdown, have Edge, Jericho, Jeff, Taker and Punk be the main 5 on the show and people like Swagger, My next pick and Umaga play 2nd fiddle to them, and you've got quite a nice show dynamic with two of the best wrestlers today being the bad guys and then 1 of the best faces with a bunch of wrestlers who have potential to step up underneath him, I think that's the sort of show I'd like Smackdown to be, the only worry is if noone stops up we end up with the same scenario we had with Batista/Edge/Taker where we had the same match for about 2 years running.
Pick 4 - Rey Rey - No brainer with MVP moving to RAW, nothing to do with demographics for me, simply Mysterio fits Smackdown, I've never really taken to him that much but he is entertaining but it hasn't worked out on Raw, whether it be injuries or lack of meshing with other superstars, it's time for him to go back to where we all saw him at his best.
Pick 5 - Evan Bourne - Use him in Conjunction with Rey Mysterio, they can be a part time tag team but also double up as good wrestlers, while I see Bourne as being better at entertaining in the ring these days (since Mysterio put on some weight and got injured he hasn't looked as sharp as he did in his earlier career), Mysterio is still the king of high-flying, he's the one who's name is the first one named when you think of high-fliers. They'd be a good foil to someone like Kendrick, and I think that would be the first place Bourne should strut his stuff on Smackdown.
Finally, the Land of Extreme, ECW.
Pick One - Mr. Kennedy - Quite amazed everyone is saying the same as what I was on this one, but I think it'll be a similar pick to Mysterio last year, injured superstar called out on the draft to make a comeback, and he works for ECW and replaced the void Christian will leave, which was the void Matt Hardy left. Perhaps he can be the one to beat Swagger for the title, the only drawback is this elimination business, maybe he can talk about ECW needing it's identity back and then calling Swagger back for one more match on ECW to get the title back. It's obvious Dreamer will be champion, so my next pick will transition Kennedy and Dreamer.
Pick Two - Shelton Benjamin - Fits like a glove really, I think everyone knows Shelton's potential and it wouldn't really shock anyone if he won the ECW title from Kennedy, then you'd have a really good match setup for him vs. Dreamer, it's the prime, well tuned athlete against the blood/sweat/tears and specialist ability, I know a similar dynamic is there with Swagger, but let's face it, whoever Dreamer faces needs to be able to make the match stand out somewhat, Swagger does not have that potential, Benjamin, while not being extraordinarily memorable can make a match great in the moment.
As for the Supplemental, I don't really care, I beg them to keep Miz and Morrison together so I can see them with all the belts, I don't really care that they're on ECW, with 1 set of titles, it was said by JR, that it would be defended on all 3 shows, which means the positioning of tag teams will become irrelevant.
