sheepy Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 A couple of shock moves I can see being made. Mysterio to ECW - I think its the best place for him and it means with the Raw / ECW link up soon to come into affect he'd still be able to appear on the flagship show whilst also adding the "star power" to ECW. I think his style best fits what the new ECW is trying to stand for. Vickie Guerrero to Raw - this way Edge can lose his protection from Vickie and finish his feud with the undertaker. Vickie becomes the RAW GM and then trades a big star (possibly Cena after he's done with Triple H) for Edge a few months down the line to reunite the two of them back together in a new setting.

infinitywpi Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 At this point, everyone can agree Umaga, MVP, and Punk are moving. I'd also suggest: Big Show and Jeff Hardy to ECW. Kane to Smackdown to feud with Edge over his brother's forced retirement. Murdoch to Smackdown to avoid getting involved in Lance Cade's... whatever. Jimmy Wang Yang to ECW (if they draft people who're suspended... in which case, Regal to Smackdown as well). Charlie Haas to Smackdown Beyond that, no idea. I'd love to see an extended London/Kendrik vs Miz/Morrison feud, but it could happen on any brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepy Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I'm not that sure that MVP is moving. I think a longer stay on Smackdown might do him good. If he does go then it'll be more or less a straight swap for Kennedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machinesxe Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share Posted June 23, 2008 Directly from wrestlezone.com [QUOTE][FONT="Arial"][SIZE="1"]Looking at last year's WWE Draft, it would appear that a lot more bad than good came about for a number of the draftees -- especially on the Raw side. After last year's brand changes, here is what followed over the next twelve months: eight drug suspensions involving six wrestlers, one career-ending injury, five wrestlers quitting, one double-murder suicide, and two firings -- both related to drug issues.

fatallylost Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 [QUOTE=machinesxe;448631]Directly from wrestlezone.com Does anyone know who was carrer injuried?[/QUOTE] I doubt it was this, but, would they consider Lashley for that? Other than that, I assume he's under the "quitting" part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ransik Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Yeah Umaga, Jericho and Punk I see moving. From all the reports I've read the last few weeks.... isn't Big Show in ECW already? As random as they try to make the draft look... they're not gonna move Morrison, they're not gonna split the Tag Champs up unless they for some reason lose their belts tonight on RAW which would make no sense since they're Smackdown Titles. There's no reason to move Batista... he got moved last time didn't he? Kane has already shown up on Smackdown several times to fight Edge, and ECW and Smackdown are basically one brand now... straight from WWE's own mouth. Using a draft on Kane on top of him being ECW Champion is pointless and would accomplish nothing. I dunno, I stopped watching WWE because it turned into one giant unorganized cluster f*** with the same forced feuds not drawing attention taking over the whole shows for months on end. I'll check the draft out tonight cause those kinds of things interest me, but I'm not expecting more than one or two actual good drafts to be made.

I am looking forward to this, actually I have never enjoyed wrestling as much as I have know because even though I know its fake my son has that same look I had in my eyes 16-17 years ago and it makes it a great thing to enjoy. My wife just started allowing my son to watch wrestling so it really is something I look forward to every week now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Gadzinski Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 RAW gets... Batista Kane SmackDown gets... John Cena CM Punk Shelton Benjamin ECW gets... Michael Cole Umaga Snitsky(is he already on ECW or still RAW?) That's just what I think currently .. I don't think there will be much big names moved.

GDE71 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 The sad thing is that almost all of us will either watch or DVR or Tivo it and basically it doesn't mean a damn thing as all the workers show up on whatever shows..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HBK spent more time on Smackdown the last few months than he did RAW to feud with Batista. Kane spends as much time on Smackdown as he does ECW... I just don't see why they feel the need to have the draft anymore. And whats this I'm hearing about a Smackdown Divas Title? So now there's gonna be 9 Titles (or 10 can't remember correctly) with 11 or 12 holding belts... and there's only about 50 actively on TV on a regular basis. So right now the WWE looks like SvR 2008... 1/5 of the people hold belts. Too watered down and not enough to make you watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AfRoMaN36 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Alot of the draftees with be fluff moves. They always cover up the big ones wit alot of meaningless draftees. But heres who i think will be drafted RAW: * Batista: He's run his course on Smackdown. He has nothing else to do there. * Michelle McCool: Months of trying to play her off as an athlete is probably gunna lead to her comming to RAW to compete for the womens title. But maybe she'll just end up on the supplementary draft? * MVP: Raw is in desparate need of a big time heel. TEW is even getting hard to play as RAW because every big name is a face. It's time for him to take the next step too. Smackdown: * Mr. Kennedy: His RAW run was a big waste of a year. He needs to return to a show that will give him air time. * CM Punk: He's become bigger than his own show. Now he can atleast challange for a big world title as Mr. Money in the Bank vs The Former Mr. Money in the Bank writes itself. * Lance Cade: He's gunna get pushed. Best to do it on a show with room for him ECW: * Rey Jr: Probably wont happen. But ECW has become the new Smackdown as its the wrestling show. This is a logical move. * Big Show: He's feuding with the current ECW champion * Dykstra: The kids got all the abillity in the world but no time to be used.... except on ECW.

AfRoMaN36 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 First Draftee: Rey Mysterio to RAW I dunno about this one. I dont think RAW needs anymore big faces, but we'll see how this pans out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Gadzinski Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 To be honest.. I really thought Rey was gonna get drafted.. he did. But I thought he was going to ECW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eisen-verse Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I was actually really shocked to see Rey Jr. jump to RAW. Especially since I thought I heard they wanted to push Smackdown strongly in the Hispanic community. All in all, He'll add some newness to RAW so I'm happy!

Tyler Gadzinski Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I thought Jeff was gonna get drafted but again.. to ECW.. Now I won't be able to watch Jeff as Smackdown isn't worth watching.. but then again they need a big face to get Smackdown watched when they move to MyNetworkTV.
