If recent history shows us anything, the WWE Supplemental Draft usually means that if a wrestler is selected, they:
A.) Get a push after being underutilized
B.) Wind up in purgatory
C.) Are on the Fast Track To Future Endeavors.
2008:
Mark Henry went on to become ECW Champion.
Brian Kendrick had a failed push on Smackdown (although he was interim WWE Champion in a Scramble match!)
Kofi Kingston beat Jericho in his first match as a member of the Raw roster.
Other than that though, Finlay lost his push he had on Smackdown, DH Smith was unseen for a year, Noble was a comedy character with Blue Balls, Murdoch didn't even make it to TV, and Big Daddy V was gone in months. The rest are forgettable moves.
2009:
Zack Ryder came from nowhere to be the awesome Long Island Guido we all know and love.
After being gone for awhile, Zeke eventually became the last ECW Champion.
Ziggler had a strong start and then went like 1-26 (this is an actual stat) in US Title matches, with the one win being a DQ.
The rest... Chavo began a horrific losing streak to Hornswoggle. Kennedy was hurt, and then was released. Cryme Tyme did nothing on Smackdown. I don't think Ricky Ortiz wrestled one match as a member of the Smackdown roster. Mike Knox did nothing and was just released. Festus had one moment on Raw where he sang vs. Jillian in a sing-off. Then he was gone for months and resurfaced repackaged on Smackdown. Kendrick left the company jobbing to Lawler. Haas did nothing and got released. Helms did nothing on ECW and was released. Morrison has been an all-around bust since being on Smackdown.
So, what are your hopes for the draft this year? What success stories do you want to see?
