Alrighty, so my thoughts on the supplemental draft. My original draft reviews are earlier on this thing, and I only had to disagree with one move, oh boy what a difference a few days make.
London and Kendrick to Raw: Sweet Jesus, the raping of smackdown talent continues right away. This time they waste no time in this. It's kinda odd that a system of complete randomness, somehow manages to move an entire tag team, with back to back picks, to the same shows, what are the odds? Anyways, stupid move. These two will be relegated to heat in no time, yay banned moves list.
Kenny Dykstra to Smackdown!: don't have a problem with this one. What was the point of releasing the Spirit Squad and Joey Mercury, only to put both Dykstra and Nitro in another tag team? Again, another heel moves to Smackdown, which begs teh question, what the hell is going on...
Viscera to ECW: Uh, I guess get the freak shows on one show. Now I'm relegated to the team of Viscera and Boogeyman to open up ECW this week. This move, I don't care enough about to comment on.
The Sandman...To Raw???: Hmm, um, hmmm. I'm left scratching my head on this one. So the Sandman is disgruntled, and keeping him away from his friend Tommy Dreamer is the best solution to that problem, ok, works for me. I think this is a move to make the Sandman pull a Sabu and get himself fired. He was relegated to jobber status on ECW, so he'll be relegated to jobber status on Raw. Pretty much between Visc and the Sandman, you're swapping crap for crap.
Bob Holly to Smackdown: Yay, he's no longer Hardcore. Good news is, it keeps any possibility of a world title off of Bob Holly. That ECW title situation scared me, and now we don't have to worry about that little problem. Still, another heel to Smackdown...
The Miz to ECW: So does anyone care about the Miz. Hopefully they put him with Matt Striker so I don't have to skip out of two segments of ECW.
Daivari to Raw: So lets move 3 cruiserweights away from the cruiserweight title, and leave only 2 on the show that has the cruiserweight title. Daivari and Khali must have some sort of issues to keep them away from each other. Seriously, this is just dumb.
The Major Brothers to Smackdown: Hardy Boyz 2007 are going to the show that one of the Hardy's is supposed to be on, yet is never there because he's on the other show, even though brands are supposed to be exclusive. I think this is a good move. ECW doesn't need tag titles. There isn't enough time to warrant the development of a tag division on ECW. The best move they could do is bring back the Hardcore title for ECW. The Majors will help out Smackdowns recently depleted tag scene.
William Regal to Raw: What Mr. Regal wants, Mr. Regal receives. I don't understand the move myself. He was in a good situation on Smackdown beign with Taylor and Finlay. The only thing that could come good out of this is maybe he gets into a match with Cena and we have a repeat of Regal/Goldberg from Nitro about ten years ago.
Victoria to Smackdown; Why take a womens wrestler off the show for the Women's Title. This doesn't make any sense, unless Victoria wants the move, or th eWWE is trying to get her to go away. Another dumb/questionable move.
Jillian Hall to Raw. Good move. Hall really deserves a chance to shine on Raw with the women's strap. Some of the stuff I've seen of her puts the rest of the Women's roster to shame, except for James. So here is my shot at the "Candice Michelle Improving thread". Watch a Jillian Hall match and then you'll see waht a women's wrestler should be. The only thing Candice Michelle has been improving, is the ratings of the other channel I flip it to when her matches are on.
Eugene to Smackdown: Get the circus clown off of Raw I suppose. Honestly, I hope for Nick Dinsmores sake that the gimmick is dropped. He's a damn fine talent that I think can really do wonders for Smackdown, if he is given a damn chance.
Nitro to ECW: Good move. Quite frankly, I'm not impressed with Nitro myself. I find him boring and stale. A good gimmick change and a chance to fine tune his skills on ECW would probably work wonders. I see a CM Punk/Nitro feud going into Summerslam. Benoit can really teach these guys a lesson.
So overall Draft Review:
Raw: The Good: I get Cena/Lashley/Snitsky all on one show, which makes it that much easier not to watch, thank you WWE. Plus Jeff Hardy stays on this show, which puts to rest any chance at a world title, and squashes that pesky ECW championship rumor.
The Bad: Regal/King Booker/London/Kendrick Welcome to Jobber Status. See that line over there, go wait your turn in the "Get Fed to Cena" Line.
The Ugly: Mr. Kennedy getting the royal shaft treatment. How in the Hell did the WWE fuck this up royally. He was set for a monster push against Edge, and they dropped the ball. Yay he gets to work an angle with Triple H when he comes back, yippie. Another way for Triple H to say He made someone he didn't, this is a bullshit move.
Smackdown:
The Good: Edge is still World Heavyweight Champion.
The Bad: Matt Hardy and Ric Flair are the only faces left on the brand, which if Edge retains, means we're probably stuck with a shitty Hardy getting his ass handed to him by Edge all summer.
The Ugly: The whole damn draft for Smackdown: I teased the heels. Khali/Masters/Dysktra/Holly all coming aboard whcih I think means taht Batista is getting the strap at Vengeance, which means we'll have the Shockmaster become a Super Cynical Bastard, and probalby lose what shred of faith I have in the WWE completely.
ECW:
The Good: Chris Benoit comes on board, in a just world will get the ECW world title, and be the man that helps guide the younger guys along to the next level. Very good move.
The Bad: The Miz will probably get more air time, which is just wrong.
The Ugly: The inevitable S&M tag team of Viscera and the Boogeyman sucking ten minutes of life out of teh beginning of each exciting episode of ECW on Sci-Fi.
)and the fact he is and will always be thought of as an ECW star.Mcmahon won't push a wrestler he didnt 'create' and i fear that sandman will be a jobbed out and made to look like a little bitch on his way out(if his contract is expiring).
