YES!!!!!  They better not pull any bulls*** like last year, when they bumped the supplemental draft several days because "Mr. McMahon was dead". Since he's just "injured" this time, hopefully were good to go. |

Taping Smackdown before it is pretty strange.

This may help out ECW, which got humbled on Raw in the old country way.

Taping Smackdown before it is pretty strange. They can just add in "this is so and so's last night on SD" comments in post production. |

All things considered, last year's Supplemental Draft ended up being pretty significant.
ECW picked up Viscera, Johnny Nitro and The Miz. Viscera turned into Big Daddy V, who received a monster push and played it well, going as far as to recieving an ECW Championship match at No Mercy. Nitro became Morrison and won the ECW Championship, turning it into a three-month long reign, before teaming with The Miz to win the WWE Tag Team Championship. Aside from those two having a great reign, The Dirt Sheet has become one of WWE.com's most popular segments and has really made these two into stars.
Raw got Brian Kendrick and Paul London, Sandman, Daivari, William Regal and Jillian Hall. Aside from The Sandman and Daivari who were released shortly thereafter, these superstars ended up being pretty successful. While Kendrick and London never really gained the momentum they had on SmackDown, they were at the very worst entertaining to watch. Jillian Hall morphed into a Britney Spears/Brooke Hogan character and has become one of the more hateable heels in WWE. And William Regal was the General Manager and King of WWE, receiving his biggest push while in WWE, only to drop the ball and get a 60-day suspension.
SmackDown acquired Kenny Dykstra, Hardcore Holly, The Major Brothers, Victoria and Eugene. Hardcore Holly never stepped foot in a SmackDown ring, Eugene was given his release in the summer, Dykstra started off strong on SmackDown but has vanished since, Victoria has floundered due to the lack of a Women's Championship on the brand. However, the Major Brothers became Ryder and Hawkins, sided with Edge and La Familia and became embroiled in SmackDown's biggest feuds.
I can't wait to see what this year's Supplemental Draft gives us. This year's draft really changed around the main event status, now let's see what they can do to switch up the stale mid-card.

So he'll still be wearing the SD tights ;D OK, if this happens I'll be all for Funaki switching shows. They could book him in cross promotional matches and have him still try to wrestle on the Smackdown side and have him do interviews still proclaiming to be "#1 Smackdown announcer!". Good stuff. ;D |

I'm pretty sure Snitsky will end up on SD as well as the Highlanders. Maria or Candice or both are SD bound for SD needs more face divas. Ashley and Kelly Kelly will switch brands most likely. Chuck Palumbo to ECW as well.

Well, here's what we ended up with when all was said and done:
