Its a 15-man trade between all three brands. So, that should be about 5 new guys on each show. I wish they would announce who all is being traded.

Again, leave SD's core alone. This is petty of me, I know, but watching Vince invade SD last week I couldn't help but think this. With his ego being what it is, I wouldn't be shocked at all for him to hear all the time how SD is better than his baby, Raw, so he just has to do everything he can to get attention off SD and back on Raw. Like "how DARE YOU upstage my flagship brand". The show was perfect ... so "grrrr, angry Vince are angry" has to show up and bring his boring ass Raw character over to the blue show. He appears all over it ... for no real logically reason. Hassles Teddy Long ... for no real logical reason. Then there's the possibility they could gut some of SD's best talent with this draft. Again, I know this is probably not even close, but I can't say it didn't cross my mind more than once. This. A 1000x this. EXACTLY what I was thinking. If he wants, he can take Undertaker, Smackdown has been doing awesome without him. Leave everyone else alone. Both of these echo my sentiments. If they must switch talents around, do it with guys who are going nowhere. Send Brian Kendrick and Jamie Noble to ECW, give Bourne to SmackDown, etc. Do NOT take Edge and Jericho from SD. Half the greatness of the show will be gone at that point.

From various newz sites: Please keep Edge, Hardy, Jericho, Punk, Rey and Morrison where they are. Thanks. If you're not moving any of those guys it makes no sense to even do the draft. The problem with the company right now is that Raw is s***, and Smackdown is awesome. It makes absolutely no sense from their perspective to have the show that less people have access to which is on a worse night have such a far superior roster to the flagship show. It's not really a superior roster in terms of star power or wrestling ability. It's just been booked much better. There's no reason why RAW with its current roster couldn't be just as amazing. HHH, Orton, Cena, MVP, Kofi, Matt Hardy . . . There, you have a RAW 6 as strong as the Smackdown 6. And, yeah, I want them to leave Smackdown alone. It's back to where it used to be before the draft two years ago that gutted it. It's an hour of perfect wrestling, and I don't think I'm selfish for wanting that to remain as it is. That said, some moves might be good. Unfortunately, most of the moves I want are off of ECW: Harts, Bourne, Christian, etc. I'd like Kendrick to go to ECW and get a proper build as a singles' wrestler, but he's like the exception.

Seriously! They've got Matt Hardy, William Regal, MVP, Kofi Kingston, The Miz, the Colons, THE Brian Kendrick. Anyone of those guys could have an entertaining match with Cena, The Big Show, Orton, and Triple H. They've got a good roster, and they should be able to book a good show. The fact that they don't amazes me!

It be funny if they take Punk, Hardy, Edge, Jericho, Morrison, and Rey off of Smackdown and give them Bourne and Christian and Smackdown is still more awesome than RAW with their Dolph Ziggler vs Undertaker main-events.

Why do people keep saying that Punk's gonna get traded? He's the World Heavyweight Champion! They can't leave SmackDown! without a world title.

I'd much rather see Christian or Jack Swagger (or even Mark Henry, who I'm appreciating more and more) in the Main Event scene on RAW then what is already there. Congrats, you win! Twice!!!!!!

This scenario has happened........like, twice since the 1st draft. Maybe 3 times. It doesn't last long, but there have been voids where a brand (usually SD!) doesn't have a champion.
