"RD: Every time something like this draft happens, everyone seems to get their hopes up like this. I hate to burst anyone's bubble, but no one in power seems to give two craps about Smackdown. There's a reason why Hunter is on Raw and not on Smackdown, and that's because those within the company consider it to be the flagship of the promotion.
The comedy there, of course, is that more people actually watch Smackdown (remember that network ratings have much larger audiences than cable ratings), so if Hunter really wanted to put himself over, we'd be watching him on Thursday nights.
Anyway, let's hope this draft is a bit more interesting than the last one, when NIDIA swapping shows was the highlight...

First off, RD I love the site and the books. I was just wondering why you are so pessimistic about the WWE. Is it to please the sect of fans who dislike the WWE? I am very excited for the draft. I think last years was great. Mock-HHH brand switch. Dudleys and RVD to Smackdown. Edges returns. I thought the draft was defiently above par. This year has tremendous potential. I have confidence that this draft will help rejuvenate both brands.
I normally would keep this to myself but what's with the pessimism? I don't mind when people bash things. Sidenote: I like the Diva search. However, the draft hasn't even happened yet. You dumbed down last years to Nidia switching brands. It's one thing to be biased about old gimmicks, but it just seems like beating a dead horse knockin on everything.
I would like to stress, I love the site and the books. This isn't a mean spirited rant at all. Read it as if I'm talking to you half-heartedly. But who cares? I like HHH, the Diva Search, the roster split, and the upcoming draft.
