WWE Draft & Supplemental Draft 2008

[OIL]

I won't go through everyone who was drafted because it would take too long, and i'm sure you've all seen who has been drafted. IMO, the best drafts were:

Triple H to SmackDown! - The best pick of the draft. He needed the move, because it was getting boring seeing him in the WWE Title picture every week on RAW. Hope the WWE Title stays on RAW though, id preffer it if the WHC stayed on SD! Now he has a new scene, fresh fueds. His whole character will just seem fresher tbh.

Rey Mysterio to RAW - Another great move. He had fueded with a lot of people on SD! and needed the change. I was fed up of watching Mysterio vs Chavo 100 times. He could head the revival of the IC title IMO. He isn't worthy of the WWE Title yet, but him fueding with people over the IC title would bring back it's credability.

CM Punk to RAW - He again needed the change. ECW is very limited regarding the fueds, so he was starting to become stale to a degree. Now he has fresh faces to fued with. IMO he should challenge for the WWE Title. Hopefully win it by SummerSlam. It would just be a refreshing change, and he can use up that MITB contract.

Batista to RAW - Again, he had fueded with everybody and needed a change. Just please, don't botch anymore.

Carlito to SmackDown! - On SD! he can actually get the push he deserves. He was getting buried on RAW.

Kofi Kingston to RAW - He, along with Mysterio, could head the IC Title picture. Or, he could team up with someone and bring some more wrestlers to the World Tag Team Title picture. He has got a different style in the ring, which will be a nice change from the way JBL & Cena wrestle.

Kelly Kelly should have gone to RAW IMO over Layla. It would have countered Maria going to SD! I do see Kelly Kelly moving on pretty soon though. I'm sure the right storyline can bring her to RAW

Mr Kennedy should have stayed on RAW. Either him on Jeff Hardy. Hardy should have been in the WWE Title picture for sure, if he had stayed. Was not happy one bit about that.

Shelton should have stayed on ECW for a month or two longer and had Finlay work with him. At present, Punk and Kingston can work with Finlay when ECW merges with Raw for house-shows. He's good at building up promising talent (eg lashley), and would help them greatly

Agree there. Both Punk & Kingston will benefit greatly in that respect.

Shelton has all the talent in the world, he dosen't need anyone to work with him really. He could always fued with someone like Triple H on SD!, providing he dosen't get buried. He'll learn more as he gets pushed.

The only thing that will help Benjamin get ahead is if he gets a retainer to get rid that awful lisp. I know Ric Flair had one, but at least he knew had to compensate for it. Benjamin is as flat, boring and tasteless as a Dr. Pepper that's been left in the sun al day.

True. But that's why you get him a valet or manager to do his talking. His ring skills speak for themself.

If Layla went to SD! she could have done that. We already have the bodyguard for Chavo, so we don't need another so soon.

I think Teddy Long and Shelton Benjamin would work great together. Teddy Long was a fun heel manager who never got a talent worthy of his skills. Mark Henry? Jazz? Rodney Mack? MARK JINDRAK?! Come on.

Haha, yeah totally agree there. He was a brilliant manager. I don't really see the point of having him on ECW, it's not big enough tbh. They could have had anyone become the GM there, nobody could have cared less.

Long & Benjamin FTW!

I really think RAW got screwed over with this draft. Soon you'll see SD! ratings beating RAW's ratings, which is something I don't think the WWE want. They want SD! to improve on ratings, but not beat the main brand.

RAW dosen't have a star borderline to WWE Title/WHC material, which the popularity that Mr. Kennedy & Jeff Hardy had.

They only have CM Punk, who is a very good wrestler, but dosen't have that same popularity that Jeff Hardy or Kennedy had. In that respect, I can see RAW becoming less important.

I do eventually see Jeff Hardy or Mr. Kennedy moving back to RAW, maybe when either one wins the Royal Rumble.
