Thoughts on the Draft (*May Contain Spoilers*)

The Phantom

For those who did not see the draft, here's a round up of who went where...

Raw: King Booker, Bobby Lashley, Snitsky, Mr Kennedy

ECW: The Boogeyman, Chris Benoit

Smackdown: The Great Khali, Torrie Wilson, Chris Masters, Ric Flair

Are you happy? Would you rather have seen some other superstars move elsewhere?

Let's heat your thoughts....

I expected ECW to get alot more than they did,but chris benoit will do sumthing good for ecw,i see him being the next ecw world champ feuding with Punk if hes still on the brand after this week.And i see BoogeyMan feuding with Kevin Thorn.I wasnt suprised to see King Booker and Kenndy go to raw.Intresting To see whats gonna happen with snitsky,Who hes gonna feud with on raw,I see Lashely and cena feuding for a bit.i didnt expect khali to go back to smackdown and i didnt expect to see torie go to smackdown either,Im glade Masters got put on Smackdown he realy needed a change it will do good for him.And idk whats gonna go on with ric flair,Who hes gonna feud with or what? Maybe Manage batisa till vengance then turn heel on him,and join up with edge? that would be intresting

And i wonder who else is getin drafted on wed..

As long as they give Masters a decent push on Smackdown I'm cool with him moving but its alittle crazy how they always fuck Smackdown over in favor of raw. They take Beniot and King Booker and give them Khali back plus a couple of Mid carders? That in no way Improves the situation on Smackdown right now.

Though ECW should get a decent boost with Beniot

Lol,Yea it sucked tht smackdown got kahli and torrie.When khali was doing alright on raw,and torries is just gonna suffer on smackdown because of the lack of womens talent on the show.But i see masters and flair doing alright for now.And Chris benoit is gonna do awesome in ecw,But personaly i think it shouldve been umaga instead of the boogeyman.

BENOIT NEW ECW (or velocity) CHAMP!!! no doubt this is gonna happen... maybe now just MAYBE lashley can beat cena for the title.. doubt it but maybe... and i believe someone said in a different thread about a heel turn for lashley.. that would RULE

KoRnFreak3204

I see benoit And punk feuding for the title and they have the title match at summer slam.With benoit coming out the winner.and its hard to say about cena/Lashely.Does the wwe want lashely to carry raw ontop of his shoulders just yet?

I thought some of the draft pics were a bit pointless, like Khali, who has moved brands eighty three times so far.

I was also amazed at how quickly the draft pics got out onto the stage. It's almost as if they knew ahead of time that they were going to be the next pic, and so were waiting in the gorilla position with their entrances all cued up. Marvellous!

Personal thoughts on each of the draftees -

Bobby Lashley - An obvious choice, Raw needed another credible face alongside Cena (watch them go and turn him heel now) in the continued absence of Hunter and Shawn. He could have a fine feud with Orton (if they hadn't just had him squash Orton and Mr Kennedy together pre-Mania!). He's been on Raw continuously for months now so it's no surprise.

Mr Kennedy - I don't like this switch just because it's taking away the logical money feud of him and Edge on his return from injury. I was looking forward to this one and, unless they just have them pair off anyway at Summerslam (in which case why bother doing drafts at all) it doesn't make a lot of sense. The guy is pretty over though so he should do well on Raw.

King Booker - Happy enough with this one. Book has been on Smackdown a while now and pretty much faced everyone there. This will give him (maybe) a couple of new guys to feud with and freshen him up again. I'm sure Melina will be happy to see her good friend Sharmell back on the same show!!

Snitsky - A waste of time, there's no money in this dud and switching him around between shows like a hot potato just shows how little of a "plan" they actually have for him. Not that I want their plan to be anything other than a "you're fired" plan anyhow!

Great Khali - Another obvious one. Khali has done a few jobs lately so, coupled with a need to get him on a show where "editing" may help him look a little better, this was logical.

Ric Flair - I'd have preferred Flair go to ECW and try and do what Funk did for that brand. I don't really see any great benefit to him going to Smackdown, I guess he'll be kind of aligned with Big Dave, maybe one will turn on the other. Who knows....who cares!

Torrie Wilson - Again who cares!! Seriously though, she should be on SD, she's clueless in the ring after so many years (frikkin hell Torrie, Candice has picked it up better than you in a third of the time) so stick her on the B show where she can look fat (well compared to Ashley and Michelle anyway!!).

Chris Masters - Don't give a crap about this guy. He's clearly "slow" judging by his mic work and still pretty rubbish to watch on the screen. Crap intro as well!!

Chris Benoit - If ECW had more performers (or at least a slightly higher quality of performer) this would be a good move. Benoit has done an incredible job raising MVP's profile and could do a similar job with ECW's younger talent (Burke and Punk in particular). Outside of those two, I don't see anyone else there for him to raise the bar for.

The Boogeyman - What's the point? A nothing selection, a guy that cannot wrestle at all.........I guess he's just here so we can have him fight a vampire!

Boy did Smackdown get screwed, lost three of its top stars and gained a blonde bimbo(not Ric Flair), a giant who cant wrestle, a muscular freak who can talk or wrestle and a washed up legend who should have retired 15 years ago

I was just thinking that myself about Smackdown. MVP has some promise, Matt Hardy is a long time favourite, Edge is a god, but until they get Taker and Rey Rey back they're hurting!

Be interesting to see what happens with Lashley's ECW belt too. I mean, he's just won that belt back, to lose it again hurts him and that belt.
