Thanks for the Fish

For Chris's sake I hope his wife and son died not of his doing and he couldn't take it and killed himself.

I thought RVD was basically understood to be "Willy the Worker" ...

I love that Viscera is in line for a repackaging and a big push. However I don't think ECW has enough wrestlers for a "monster squash run". How many times can you see Nunzio, Stevie and Balls destroyed afterall? I assume even the upper card guys will eventually have to put Viscera over - Burke, Cor Von and Punk, and he'll give Benoit a helluva battle on his way out. I think the Snitzky re-packaging did work in ECW. He was nothing but a foot sucking, receeding hairline midcarder. Now he'll be a flavor of the month Cena opponent. I still think he should have been unmasked as Fake Kane.

It's likely JBL's color commentary that's selling you on Matt Hardy. That's not meant to be a knock in any way as JBL is probably SD! most valuable member and no doubt the best in the business right now. Watch Hardy on mute and see if you feel the same way...

He and Edge work pretty well together, though the chances of Edge holding the title at that time is slim. I wouldn't be surprised if they give him one last shot at the title and pull a whole "Rocky Balboa" storyline. If it was against Batista, they could steal the Hart(?) vs Deisel finish where Deisel has Bret set up for the Jacknife, but pauses out of sympathy, and in that split second pause, Hart rolls him up for the win.

Konnan and Ron Killings quit TNA last night, and are going to work for exclusively AAA in Mexico. Does the wwe have any interest? Konnan is pretty much a mouthpiece these days, but he made LAX at their peak with his rantings. I don't think he'd be available because he's pretty committed to AAA, I believe he's booking it for the most part. Ron Killings has his heat with Cena, and tried to hype up their airport confrontation - does that help or hurt his chances to get back in the company? Assuming of course he wants back in. Did TNA release them from their TNA contracts, allowing them to work anywhere but wwe? Or are they completely free-agents?

ECW is already too short on faces for a heel turn. There really isn't need for the Punk vs Benoit feud to happen right now, especially given the Vegeance card. Benoit vs Cor Von or Benoit vs Burke would have been fine.

I doubt they'll give us Punk vs Benoit so soon, or at least they shouldn't.

I assume that The Majors Brothers will upset D&D on Smackdown this week to capture the titles, to set-up the rematch for Vengeance. D&D can make an open challenge saying that London and Kendrick are on Raw, as is Regal and that means there is nobody left for them. Majors accept and presto. Reguarding all the British Wrestlers signed to developmentals - There is talk of a UK developmental territory opening.

London was so obviously smiling in the back, it had to be purposeful i.e. scripted. Just another suspect...

Only one that makes any sense is the one with "ballin'" across the back...

I too would like to see a push for Dreamer. I'd have him upset his way into the tournement final(if that's where it's heading), maybe losing to Benoit in the finals. Benoit could make him look like a million bucks and Dreamer would sell like achamp and take a shit kicking to make it look good. I'm alos hoping for Viscera push. I'm crazy like that. Benoit vs Monster Viscera could even work for me. ECW Faces - Benoit, Punk, Dreamer ECW Heels - Burke, Cor Von, Viscera, Striker, Nitro, Richards

I think Finlay is heading towards a face turn and think he'll be next in line after Batista is eliminated. I think Edge and Hornswoggle will have great interactions with each other, and once the program is over Finlay could heel rather easily by just beating the stuffing out of Hornswoggle. MVP is another face possibility to challenge Edge. Sure he's a heel know, but I don't think it would be hard to turn him face if needed. Matt Hardy and Mysterio could be solid feuds for Edge as well. Batista - Finlay - Mysterio - Hardy - MVP - Undertaker - would make a pretty solid title reign.

So the final tally is To Raw - King Booker, Bobby Lashley, Snitsky, Ken Kennedy, London/Kendrick, Sandman, Daivari, Regal, Hall From Raw - Flair, Masters, Wilson, Viscera, Dykstra, Victoria, Khali, Eugene, Johnny Nitro To SD! - Masters, Flair, Torrie, Khali, Majors Brothers, Victoria, Kenny Dykstra, Holly, Eugene From SD! Chris Benoit, Booker T, London/Kendrick, Regal, Daivari, Hall, Boogeyman, Kennedy, Mizanin To ECW - Chris Benoit, Boogeyman, Mike Mizanin, Viscera, Johnny Nitro From ECW - Lashley, Snitzky, Sandman, Holly, Majors Bros Did Raw lose anybody that they valued? I mean seriously. ECW even worked over SD! Did Edge piss off HHH that bad that he's going to give him a brutally bad title run?

Dammit!! What the hell is Venis going to do on Raw?? Keep jobbing on Heat!!! Dammit to hell! What's with breaking up two couples on Raw??

its very possible, ECW has really gotten the worst end of the draft overall so i can see some guys from OVW down the road I think SD! got it worse than ECW actually...

If Raw gives ECW it's final draftee then all will be balanced, assuming teams are seen as one entity. Nine in and nine out for Raw and SD and five in and five out for ECW. I want Venis to get the JBL late career push. Should have never went back to Val Velis after his run as Chief Morley.

On a side, SD! and ECW must be getting a few call-ups each. Harry Smith, Paul Burchill, Jay Bradley, The James Boys, Idol Stevens are all ready...

Come on everybody - Venis! Venis! Venis! Venis! Venis! Venis! Venis! Venis!

Venis or Noble or WE RIOT!! At this stage I want Venis to ECW over Noble. Raw has no use for Venis anymore given all the mid and upper carders they just added.

Eugene is likely the last pick, complete with that stupid "Special E.D." superhero costume.

So the final tally is To Raw - King Booker, Bobby Lashley, Snitsky, Ken Kennedy, London/Kendrick, Sandman, Daivari, Regal, Hall From Raw - Flair, Masters, Wilson, Viscera, Dykstra, Victoria, Khali, Eugene To SD! - Masters, Flair, Torrie, Khali, Majors Brothers, Victoria, Kenny Dykstra, Holly, Eugene From SD! Chris Benoit, Booker T, London/Kendrick, Regal, Daivari, Hall, Boogeyman, Kennedy, Mizanin To ECW - Chris Benoit, Boogeyman, Mike Mizanin, Viscera From ECW - Lashley, Snitzky, Sandman, Holly, Majors Bros

I still don't understand why ECW stopped picking. And with Diva's moving around why one of extreme expose or Trinity didn't get moved...

Hell, Hall to Raw makes Victoria to SD! make even less sense. I was hoping we'd see them wrestle each other...
