Guest Lightning Flik Report post Posted July 8, 2003 I kinda find it scary that only 25 wrestlers are still remaining out of 56. Hmph... Still though, shouldn't that mean we'd be seeing a lot more new faces then? Cause both rosters need at least 30 to be realistically viable by themselves. Well, it explains a lot though.

Guest Jobber of the Week Report post Posted July 8, 2003 Both the top draft picks went to SmackDown, then, Rock flipped over to Raw. For some reason people think that Rock will return to Smackdown but he even has his web page moved to Raw now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Steve J. Rogers Report post Posted July 8, 2003 Also Benoit may be the only one to go from original show to new show back to original show. Actually now that I think about it, Benoit lost to RVD at SummerSlam, a RAW match for the IC title, how the hell did he jump back to Smackdown? Actually hejumped to Raw as it looked like Flair would reform the Horsemen before Austin jumped and now for the life of me I don't know how he and Eddy Guerero jumped back to Smackdown Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted July 8, 2003 Benoit won the IC title on RAW then jumped to SD! with the title. However, RVD had a rematch clause so the match at SS was RAW vs. SD for who gets the IC title. Benoit lost and remained on SD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

By my count, taken from the contract termination thread, each show has about 40 workers on it, including those who are injured. Don't forget half of OVW has joined WWE since the draft.

Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2003 I would point out the irony of a SOH mark saying that D'Lo Brown sucks, but than I would be banned for flame baiting. So nope, won't say it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest RavishingRickRudo Report post Posted July 9, 2003 D-Lo got fired cause Creative isn't. Dlo's interview on the law is a thing of beauty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JHawk Report post Posted July 9, 2003 D'Lo wasn't fired. His contract expired and wasn't renewed. And if you've seen any of his indy/TNA stuff since then, I'm not sure you'd still say he sucks. If you have...then I don't know what you're looking for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
