The 2011 WWE Supplemental Draft LD Has Till Five

[JGlass]

Alex Riley to RAW. I think we found our heel.

Literally every other heel drafted to Smackdown is more qualified for a push than Alex Riley. That man is a fucking mess in the ring.

 

[.]

It sucks that Riley is gone to SD. He was the best lackey since Virgil.

 

[The Doctor]

I just realized that Brodus Clay is still on Smackdown. He could be an awesome heel because of his look and mic work alone.

 

[Big Nick Dudley]

He more than makes up for it with charisma, something he definitely has. Needs more time in the ring, at least that's how I see it.

 

[JGlass]

What the fuck are all you people talking about Alex Riley has all the tools? He has approximately one of the tools, his promo skills, and they aren't nearly good enough to carry him.

 

[Coco]

FINALLY! Riley breaks from Miz's shadow. Watch this kid makes waves.

Just like he was supposed to on NXT?

 

[D-Man]

1) Sheamus didn't move in the draft.
2) Sheamus was feuding and beating veterans in Shelton Benjamin and Goldust
3) Sheamus is good at wrestling.

The big moves in the draft all make sense, but if you think Tyler Reks is ever going to even appear on Raw, let alone get a push, you are borderline delusional.

The draft is overinflated - of the 20 people to move today so far, 7 of them feature on television, and that includes whipping boy Ted DiBiase and Kelly Kelly. The other 13 will be 90% redundant moves. Maybe Tyson Kidd and the Usos will get a look in on Smackdown, but the other 10 are just going to be 10 wrestlers not appearing on their new show instead of not appearing on the other. It's taken 4 hours to get 7 significant moves.

Most of the time, the redundant moves end up with one or two appearances on television (each) with a sink or swim mentality. They check to see if the audience accepts them and if not, they're goners. At least they'll get a shot.

If you ran the company there would be more firings than anyone could imagine. You'd rather just toss them away then give them a chance.

 

[Coco]

When did we establish that Alex Riley isn't as bland as rice pudding on the mic?

 

[Tastycles]

Riley to SD huh? Well. they should have made better use of that year.

Ill say what I said about Kidd though, all the tools, and plenty of room for mobility

You think?

I think he's an absolute charisma black hole, but I really like him in the ring. I don't think they'll go that way again, but he could be a Benoit type figure, with a bit of investment.

You're talking shit. The audience accepts nobody after one or two appearances. It takes consistent exposure to build a rapport. Most of these guys won't get the chance so why pretend it's an opportunity?

 

[D-Man]

I'm speaking the truth. Everyone deserves a shot before they get future endeavored.

Who, Kidd?

He has obnoxious heel charisma. The hair alone. Just looking at him, very easy to hate.

What hair? He cut it.

Then give each man a month of exposure at a reasonable midcard level that invites people to invest their time and interest in them... Oh, wait. We don't have the time to give every new draftee that courtesy. Well, I guess maybe two or three of the will get to appear in a squash once or twice.

Yay opportunity!

Your standard for "a shot" is mighty low.

 

[D-Man]

Raw finally gets the Glamazon!

 

[Father Uncle Oscar]

Beth Phoenix to Raw to feud with Kharma???

 

[Planty]

Called that, now we just need Ryder to SD!

 

[.]

Beth to RAW as expected.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

What hair? He cut it.

Did he?

Oh, well he is gone

That's pretty ignorant. We all know they don't push every single guy that steps foot in the door but they do know that drafting them at least shines a small light on them for a short while. That might be their only window to do anything. If they use them, great... if not, no foul. At least they had a chance.

 

[The Doctor]

Beth Phoenix to RAW! Nice! Kharma vs. Beth, anyone?

A shame about there not being a Sisters of Destruction reunion, though.

 

[.]

Ryder isn't going to SD.

 

[Tastycles]

Kharma won't fight Beth for a while. Kharma's going to come in and attack the pretty girls, which isn't how Beth is booked. I imagine Kharma vs Kelly Kelly or Layla is the most likely starting point. Seriously.

Drafting them in the supplemental draft shines a light on them? Absurd. Curt Hawkins has no more light on him now than he did three hours ago. Regular television time is a chance. Shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic is something else.

One pick left.
