WWE Draft 2008

Recommended Posts

I don't know why so many people are bitching about the ECW thing... once they move the tapings to the same day as RAW... everything will work out. The drafting of CM Punk and Kane was mainly for show. They'll still make the occasional appearance on ECW. Fuck, in reality... this is the one year that Smackdown didn't get fucked over. Umaga, Kennedy, Hardy, and HHH and they only really lose Rey and Bats.

Raw could really have a nice Junior Heavy division, now.

 

Edit---Yeah, KOAB, I think each show got better, or will have gotten better by the end of the supplemental.

Trevor Murdoch to SD! Surprise, surprise with that one. they needed to move him to allow Cade to get his push on Raw without the Murdoch issue always dogging him.

 

So looking at the first round, ECW got the highest profile/biggest impact player in Mark Henry, Raw got the best worker by far, and SD! probably got the wrestler with the most potential in Murdoch. If only they drop the country singer gimmick with him - hopefully Hayes will know how to use Trevor. Too bad Dusty stillw wasn't booking there as well.

Murdoch was on my list of wrestlers that I wanted to see get moved so they could get a new start. The others are listed below:

 

Kenny Dykstra

Gregory Helms

Brian Kendrick

Paul London

Elijah Burke

This should clear some things up:

 

SUPPLEMENTAL DRAFT UPDATE ON NAMES DRAFTED ON MONDAY

by Mike Johnson @ 11:53 AM on 6/25/2008

 

Ryan Mulloy sent the following....On WWE.com, they just announced that all draft picks from Monday are exempt today.

 

So, for anyone who expected Triple H or Batista (for example) to end up back on their former brands, it's not going to happen anytime soon.

Watch HHH get drafted right back..

 

Hmm.

 

 

They said earlier in the blog that anyone drafted Monday night was not eligible to be drafted today.

I agree, that would be a good ECW draft (save Burke who's already there) however Mark Henry is a brand buzzkiller. Dykstra is deep in the dog house right now, to the point where he could be released.

I like Henry in ECW. He is not that bad a wrestler. He is noticeably slower right now, but is better than Kane as champ at this point.

Ooh it's a snake draft.

 

Big Daddy V to SD! Predictable. He was supposed to move there late last fall to feud with UT actually. He's been sent home to lose weight, but is due back now. Now I hope they change his name again Nelson "Big Daddy" Fraizer would be badass.

I've never followed one of their live blogs before but I see they turned off the reader comments option fairly quickly and who can blame them?

 

While we're all excited for Jamie to be jobbed on raw, we're devasted that the epic Palumbo-Noble feud has come to a possible end

Didn't matter, the comments had to be approved. It was a good choice, they turned off the ability to comment, and the refresh time has sped up 100000x.

I think the reader comments are disabled due to the software problems with the chat. They weren't prepared for that many people.

What did Kenny do this time?

 

Just overall sucky attitude that hasn't improved. Self-entitled and the feeling is is that he got too much too soon in the business and he never had to struggle or work for any of it and what they have is the result. I really like the kids potential too, I've always pimped him as a future champion, but not when everybody to a man backstage supposedly hates your guts.

I like Henry in that he looks like a supreme badass. I just hoped the top of the ECW card would be filled with good workers given the size of their roster and the champ basically main eventing every show. However with Big Show, Kane and now Henry atop the roster, I think I see a pattern, meaning somebody wants a hoss in that role.

 

However subtracting BDV already more than makes up for the Henry add.
