Thanks for the Fish 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2007 ECW should add Paul Burchill, Jay Bradley and Idol Stevens to Benoit, Corvon, Punk and Burke and actually flesh out their roster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustJoe2k5 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2007 I hope they don't do a pick every half hour. This thing is going to drag if they do. They've already stated it will last four hours, the only question is how many picks they make in that span. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thanks for the Fish 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2007 A pick every half hour would have a total pf 8 picks made. I think it will be every 20 minutes... 12 picks total, four to each brand - I pick per brand per hour... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustJoe2k5 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2007 Pick every twenty minutes could be possible, four picks for each show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AntiLeaf33 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2007 I'd like to see a trade or two today for the novelty of it...but since only 1 brand has an official GM (And I guess Coach is running RAW now that Vince is gone) I guess that option is out the window. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dandy 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2007 I wish they would try to explain the rules of this. I know, I know...but if it is random, surely it couldn't be a tag team instead of individuals. But if it is "draft whoever that brand wants," why wouldn't they draft the main eventers? I'm beginning to think this is rigged. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2007 As quickly as Raw gains an exciting tag team from SmackDown, Theodore Long’s brand strikes back by selecting one of Raw’s brightest young stars. At only 21 years of age, Dykstra is already a former World Tag Team Champion, and has been quite impressive since branching out on his own months ago. While he has been teaming with Johnny Nitro in recent weeks, Dykstra heads to SmackDown solo, where he will look to make his mark just as quickly as he did on Raw. Dykstra also becomes the fifth Superstar to switch from Monday to Friday nights, following the selections of The Great Khali, Chris Masters, Torrie Wilson and former rival Ric Flair. --- When they say "Brand Selects...", does this mean "randomly selects" or is the Supplemental Draft not a lottery?

AntiLeaf33 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2007 When they say "Brand Selects...", does this mean "randomly selects" or is the Supplemental Draft not a lottery? I honestly wish I had an answer. I guess this is a lottery again, but if it is, how did Raw essentially get 2 superstars with one pick?? It's best not to put too much thought into it.

Thanks for the Fish 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2007 Tag Teams are considered one entity. Teams can't be split up - I guess Nitro and Dykstra were not considered an established team. First thing I hope SD! does is change Kenny's ring name. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2007 Off topic, Canadian Brandon needs a name change. Yeah I love Canada and all but the "Canadian X" gimmick is well past played. "Brandon" is also too close to "Dragon" and I get confused easily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the Fish 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2007 I assume ECW will get a Raw wrestler as well. And then SD! will take an ECW wrestler. If each brand is going to gain and lose four wrestlers, I hope they leave Punk, Cor Von and Burke on ECW (assuming Benoit is exempt from moving). Maybe lose Kelly Kelly, Thorn, Holly and Striker or something... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't see SD! to know if they were hyping the Suplaft as a team breaker. And if they were... it was because they were mistaken. Whenever something like this happens, a wizard did it. Or, the McMahon incident has put things into chaos and no one knew what the rules were going to be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just think the wrestlers didn't know and assumed they could be broken up. Of course they probably changed their mind, but it's a decent enough cover.
