Official Supplementary Draft Discussion
This is apparently coming up soon. Everyone place their bets on what will happen, talk about what should happen, etc.
Do you think ECW will get itself unfucked? Pfft Last edited by Mr. Nerfect; 06-25-2008 at 07:53 AM. |

I'm sure Shawn Michaels could sell for himself well enough to convince people.

Well, I'm not really sure the format this will follow, but I think the first pick for ECW should be Randy Orton. He's a big name, and this is for mid-carders, but Orton would at least give the appearances of a main eventer in ECW. Also, by the time he returns, ECW and RAW will have that probable talent exchange going, anyway. It will make it even more shocking when Orton hits an RKO out of nowhere on someone one Monday night.
ECW could really use one of the guys already drafted, too. I'm thinking Kane goes back, Umaga gets drafted to the other possible brand, or both. Umaga goes to SmackDown! was a sidestep, at best, and Kane goes to RAW seems done more for gasps than anything. Kane going back would be a "wow, that is an odd occurrence" moment, and set things right. While it may be considered a mid-card move, Chavo Guerrero going to SmackDown! should happen. So that if Chavo wins the US Title, it will be back in the blue. If the idea is still to keep the belt on ECW, then do the move anyway, and make people expect the switch, only for Matt to retain. Chavo is better suited to SmackDown!, I think. If Big Show or Mark Henry is going to win the ECW Title and go to ECW, just draft them there and get it out of the way. It may make it more of a foregone conclusion, but I'm sick of guys from SmackDown! winning the ECW Title, and then jumping. |

I'd like to see Tazz get promoted to RAW to work with Michael Cole, and Lawler get sent to ECW to suffer with Mike Adamle. Not sure how the chances are, though.

I would not be shocked if HHH went back to Raw, and Cena to SmackDown.

It just occurred to me that RAW almost has no mid-carders. I'm sure we might be heading towards a Cody Rhodes/Hardcore Holly split-and-feud, and Nick Nemeth will probably be called up soon, they probably shouldn't lose any more mid-card singles guys. That being said, I think Val Venis, Super Crazy and Carlito will leave RAW. Chuck Palumbo's a bit lost on SmackDown!, and I don't think the WWE will follow through with the Deuce vs. Domino thing, so Deuce moving to RAW is something I can see happening. When they return, ECW could probably really use D'Lo Brown and Ron Killings. |

Jobbers will be moved around, have no impact what so ever and nothing will change for the simple fact that the booking sucks.

Raw
Deuce - To join 2nd generation stable Michelle McTaker - To try and shake up the new women's divisions Stevie Richards - No reason, just filler Smackdown Highlanders - SD needs teams Melina - See Michelle McTaker ECW Carlito - Punishment Chuck Palumbo - Filler Super Crazy - Filler ---- I don't see Show or Mark Henry swapping |

RAW
Elijah Burke He really seems to fit RAW, in my opinion. He'd also be someone drafted with the purpose of going after the Intercontinental Title. This would be a good move for RAW, as they need mid-carders. Deuce He may or may not join the second generation stable, but I just can't see him doing anything more with Domino, and RAW needs mid-carders. Chuck Palumbo I don't know, he doesn't seem to fit SmackDown! anymore. His stuff with Jamie Noble was cool, and his mini-feud with Finlay wasn't half-bad, but I just don't think there are plans to use him effectively. Tazz Michael Cole and Tazz would work better together than Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler. Kelly Kelly Now that Torrie Wilson is gone, Kelly Kelly is the untalented blonde bimbo of the WWE. I'm sure she'll get her stint on RAW eventually. Why not now, and have the other talentless whores move to ECW to balance things out? SmackDown! Chavo Guerrero This move should happen to make the United States Title appear like it has a chance of going back to SmackDown!. I don't think the plan is to have Chavo float over to RAW/ECW, so why keep him around there? To be honest, though, Chavo would make a pretty neat mid-carder on RAW. But nah, keep him in the blue. Melina I thought this was going to happen before her ankle injury, but now I am sure. What is left for Melina working on RAW? Being second-fiddle face to Mickie James? Melina is still probably more talented than Michelle McCool, so moving to SmackDown! could allow her a nice face run with the Divas Championship. Plus, a feud with Victoria and Natalya as a result of her injury could be great fun. Stevie Richards He hasn't been used for a while, has he? Richards is a solid wrestler, and he recently got some very nice pushes. It'd be great to see him make a run for the mid-card on SmackDown!. He's an ECW Original, but he's one of those guys that doesn't seem as called to the brand as others. Maybe it's because he's had so many gimmicks and character changes outside of it? Val Venis I think he will be moving because his worth as a mid-carder has been watered down on RAW. I don't think he will amount to anything really special, but I think a mere change of scenery could make people take him at face value again. Matt Striker I don't think the WWE will keep him as Big Daddy V's manager. They don't really have a memory for that sort of thing. Moving him to SmackDown! gives them mid-carders, which they do need, and someone to take as many Pedigrees as Triple H feels inclined to give out. The Highlanders Big Vito 22 inspired me with this. I considered the possibility of Rory and Robbie McAllister/McCallister moving, but I decided it would be too meaningless. There is stuff happening in the RAW tag team scene, though, and nothing happening on SmackDown!'s. This move would remind people that these guys exist, and the WWE were trying them out on different brands before. ECW Kane It was fun while it lasted, but the joke is now over. You've got a RAW guy with the ECW Title, lined up to defend it against SmackDown! wrestlers. Moving Kane back would be a "whoa, anything can happen moment," and make it more crucial for either John Cena or Batista to win their match at Night of Champions. It also sort of unscrews ECW a little bit. Randy Orton By the time Orton is ready to return, RAW and ECW would have some kind of talent exchange, anyway (another reason Kane can go back to ECW, and still end up working on RAW). This would actually be a great move for ECW, by giving them a guy who has held a "real" World Championship. Mark Henry Yeah, I think he will go. SmackDown! doesn't need him, and to be honest, I don't think they really want him. On ECW, he at least wouldn't be too offensive, jobbing to Kane. Paul London To be honest, I wasn't sure whether or not to do this, but I think it's worth a shot. The WWE has thought about splitting up London & Kendrick before, but got cold feet. They might as well pull the trigger. Brian Kendrick can help Shawn Michaels against Chris Jericho and Lance Cade, and they can try and push him as something of a serious little man worker with heart, and London can go to ECW, do the London Calling, and develop some high-flying rivalries with Kofi Kingston and Evan Bourne. If that doesn't work, well when RAW and ECW get that talent exchange, you have London & Kendrick again. Jerry Lawler He wouldn't like this, but screw him. There's comedy in him being demoted to try and destroy Mike Adamle some more. Eventually he'd have the same RAW schedule anyway. Super Crazy He's an ECW Original, and he fits in with what they've got going with Evan Bourne and Kofi Kingston. There may have been plans to use him on RAW once upon a time, but I think those plans have long been scrapped. Jamie Noble A lot of people seem to think this is coming, and I can very easily see it. A move for Jamie Noble would give him something to do, as he's been free for a while. Since that awesome program with Chuck Palumbo, really. On ECW, he'd have lots of smaller guys to work with, and he was actually promoted to a producer role to work with smaller guys. Although I'd love to see him going after the IC Title on RAW, he could very easily do that when the RAW/ECW talent exchange thing happens. Ashley She's over with the fans, but she's not crucial to either of the two-hour brands. There is no harm in moving her, and she might make a few heads turn with the move. Attach her to someone like Evan Bourne, or something. Maria I originally saw her going to SmackDown!, but I think they are shaken up enough after the draft. They don't really need much more going on their way. ECW could use the slight publicity she'd bring hanging over from her Playboy deal. Last edited by Mr. Nerfect; 06-25-2008 at 11:29 AM. |

Carlito is someone that could very easily move, but for some reason, I can see him staying. Don't ask me why. I guess part of it is that RAW needs guys to work the mid-card. It's almost entirely main event talent and tag team guys now. If Carlito moved, I think there may be too much temptation to give him wins, and actually use him correctly. He's going nowhere on RAW, so if the WWE wants him to continue going nowhere, keep him where he is.

I've thought about that. That's one of the more likely moves, if you ask me. I'd ideally like to see them on RAW, used as a real tag team, but in reality, their best chances are on SmackDown!.
Although, with ECW usually leeching off other brands, it might create the illusion of depth if they were drafted there. Maybe the WWE will forget the WWE Tag Team Championship is SmackDown!-exclusive, make them ECW titles, and draft their teams to ECW/RAW? You'd only need to move Jesse & Festus, and maybe Zack Ryder & Curt Hawkins, Jimmy Wang Yang & Shannon Moore and Finlay & Hornswoggle. Ryder & Hawkins could make identities for themselves as a tag team in a land where tag teams aren't common, and Finlay & Hornswoggle aren't really a tag team. Jimmy Wang Yang & Shannon Moore could go either way, as they are still technically buddies, but who knows what the WWE plans to do with them? |

![]() I really, really like the sound of this idea. You know, if the WWE had the balls to do it. London Calling vs. Sui-Sydal Star Press/Bourne to be Wild/Evan the Score...OK, I tried naming it. But yeah, that feud would be pretty hot. |

I just wish they'd let London do his own thing, this way Kendrick can get in on the HBK/Jericho & Cade feud.

But yeah, the move is not very likely. Unless SmackDown! and ECW are still being taped together for a while, and there are plans to end La Familia, or bring in new "Edge Heads." I'd rather see Ryder & Hawkins stay on SmackDown!, by the way. I'm just brain-storming some ideas. |
