You know what, I loved the draft!

[erik316wttn]

I know Smackdown got the complete and total shaft, but I really don't watch it anyway. Raw and EC-dub are my shows. I marked like a motherf***er when it was announced that Mr. Kennedy was coming to Raw. He was the one guy I wanted to jump.

However, don't look at it as a bad thing. Maybe. Just maybe Smackdown can elevate some of it's mid-card guys to the main event. After all, isn't that part of why this brand extention was supposed to be a good thing? Creation of new stars?

Granted, I know they don't have much to work with now with Torrie, Masters, Flair, and Khali, but they still have some good talent. Maybe the supplimental draft will be kinder to them.

But that was one of my all-time favorite episodes of WWE programming ever. I don't care what anyone else says.

Well, for the last few months, SMACKDOWN! was the only WWE program was a complete wrestling show to it in my opinion, and its been degutted.

For one thing, I'm a Benoit mark, and him moving to ECW gives me one less reason to watch SD!

Second, King Booker and Mr. Kennedy* are off to RAW, which means the WHC picture is Edge/Batista until Christmas (groan everyone!)

*=And Kennedy, that kills the would have been nice Edge/Kennedy program. Huh?

But the talent in exchange is....well, with Great Khali, does this make Edge a face or the other way around by default?

Masters sucks. His program with Marelli was going no where, and thats why he got sent packing to Tuesdays. He'll stink up the joint again.

But Flair and Wilson aren't bad. Its possible that Flair, in ROCKY BALBOA style, wants to prove that he can still cut the mustard, and challenges Edge for the belt....and hey, Wilson isn't a bad thing at all.

Question, will King Booker or Lashley feud next with Cena?

I disagree. I think after Vengeance, Batista will be pushed down into a feud with the Great Khali and I think they'll move Edge into a feud with Kane. Then there's Mysterio and Mark Henry and potentially MVP. If you give it a little while to re-develop, there is still a main event scene on SD. It's not as good as it was, but it's still there.

I don't see this one happening unless it's in a triple threat with Batista and Edge retains.

Masters sucks. His program with Marelli was going no where, and thats why he got sent packing to Tuesdays. He'll stink up the joint again.

Agreed.

Eh. Flair would be good elevating midcarders right now.

Question, will King Booker or Lashley feud next with Cena?

What about Kennedy?

[rra]

Ok, good points explodinglimo(how timely....)

(1) Ya you might be right about the feuds thing.

(2) Botchista wins at Vengeance?

(3) Glad I'm not the only one who thinks Masters is a total vacumn. He Sucks! (pun)

(4) Well, Flair's last WHC chase and helping to push guys like MVP into the top picture is nice.

(5) What about Kennedy? I meant NOW...as in, weeks and weeks before Kennedy can even arrive back on RAW.

Hell, with Triple H...some people are gonna get sledged!

[Mr. Mediocre]

I think Edge is going to retain at Vengeance, probably due to outside interference from Khali/Henry/Both. Sorry if I was unclear on that first part. Since Batista can't face Edge (yeah, right) Edge can then move on to Kane, avenging his brother, and Batista can be the second to pin Khali.

As for Kennedy, I misunderstood. I'll guess Booker will be first and they'll slowly build to Cena and Lashley for later on (Summer Slam? I'd say WM24 but I don't think creative can think more than 2-3 months ahead).

Potentially elevatable:

Matt Hardy
Kane
MVP
Paul London
Regal or Flair

Not too shabby.

Matt Hardy is just a few convincing wins from become a big time player. The crowd already respects him, he loves the business, isn't a flake and has the moves...If only he didn't st st stutter when he cuts a promo.
