The draft was actually surprising. Kane and Rey Mysterio are the ones I'm most surprised about moving to Raw. Kane was good on ECW why put him back on Raw. Rey Mysterio going to Raw will be interesting. I also can't believe Triple H is going to Smackdown. Unless they do like they did back in 2004 and just trade Triple H back to Raw. Holy shit I just realized that John Cena is going to win at Night Of Champions. Noooooooooo!

Not necessarily. Edge could lose and Batista take the WHC to RAW. Trips could win and take the WWE Title to Smackdown.

Trips is definitly the biggest surprise. I thought Cena would get drafted to SD.

im pissed about the draft, cause now either cena or batista has to win... and i dont want to see that

I higly doubt Edge will lose. The Undertaker and Edge are suppose to continue their fued up until Summerslam meaning that John Cena might win.

Yeah, I think this draft was definitely a disappointment. First off, Smackdown lost ALL of its faces. They gained Triple H, but now look at their main event: It's two VERY seasoned vets, Trips and Taker, and two fairly seasoned vets: Edge and Show, all of whom play more of a tweener role than anything. It would've been decent, except that Matt got drafted to ECW (what is the logic in that?). because then we'd at least get a longer Hardy Boyz reunion. Umaga going to Smackdown as well, great, I guess we're bound to see more Jeff vs. Umaga matches.

As for Raw, Rey and Kane make no sense to me. Rey was Smackdown's biggest face and now you have no one in that role. There aren't even any draft possibilities that could really fill the hole he left. Kane, what are you going to do with him? He's the ECW Champion meaning he's pretty much as far down the card as you can get without being a jobber. Kane here, Umaga there, who cares? Punk, I guess it was bound to happen, but like I said either he or Rey should be filling a spot on Smackdown.

Batista is probably the most sensible decision. I could see him doing well on either show.

As for Cole and J.R. switching, WHY?! The only thing that makes King bearable is having a pro like J.R. there next to him. Foley doesn't need any help, and he had a good thing going there with Cole, as did J.R. with King. Cole and King is going to be a fail of Coach porprotions, but not quite of Adamle porportions.

I think this is just bad decision after another. The draft was a chance to move wrestlers who weren't getting exposure around and instead they just move big names around and leave holes in the brands. The only way this draft would make sense is if they finally did away with ECW so that they could take the best people on that brand and move them to other shows, mostly Smackdown.

....Or just keep the ECW talent....ready for this one....? Keep the ECW talent ON ECW TV. Don't have one ECW guy(Morrison)and one Smackdown guy(The Miz)hold the WWE Tag Team Titles(Smackdown Belts)and defend them on Smackdown and ECW. Don't put the ECW Champion on Raw and Smackdown either(Kane). What the hell is the creative team in Stamford thinking? I watched a tape I made of Raw/Nitro highlights from 1999 and the action was so much better back then. Wrestling(WWE)has hit such a stalemate that they don't even know how to get their steam back again, when TNA grows a bit more they won't just be beating ECW in the ratings...and if Ring of Honor picks up their production value a bit more they are bound to become the ECW of the 21st century!
