What A Draft!!!!!!

I was really surprised by some of the changes that have taken place at this years draft. If one show ended up the big winner that would have to be RAW. Smackdown didn't do to shabby , but very little change happened to ECW. I was really hoping ECW would be able to get a bigger roster. Instead thay lost 2 major superstars and gained only 1. Here is a list of the draftees.


Going to RAW we have.......

• Rey Mysterio
• CM Punk
• Michael Cole
• Batista
• Kane
  

Going to Smackdown ........

• Jeff Hardy
• Jim Ross
• Umaga
• Mr. Kennedy
• Triple H
  

Going to ECW ......

• Matt Hardy
  

If we take a closer look at the results RAW is getting 4 major superstars that can be thrown straight into the title picture. All former Heavyweight champions. CM Punk, (a former ECW champion , a huge fan base, a huge merchandise seller, and not to mention the current Money in the Bank holder), is perfect for WWE championship contention, and with his huge popularity it would not be a mistake to give him the title for a couple of months. Rey Mysterio, (a former World champion) , I am sure will be right in with the big boys again when he gets back from injury. Although I have a feeling he will be tossed into another rivalry with JBL after his return. Batista , ( former World champion, and current #1 contender) could possible bring the World title to RAW, but I highly doubt it. Could easily be thrown into the title mix. Kane (former WWE champion, and current ECW champion) now this was a shocker! Kane will always be a top contender for any title. Possibly could bring the ECW title to Raw with him. With out a doubt RAW ended up with a bigger chunk of the draft, and the possibility have all 3 heavyweight belts being on RAW.

Smackdown did pretty good also. Triple H , (Current WWE champion) is the franchise of all the WWE.(Now that the Undertaker is gone), He could possibly bring the WWE belt back to Smackdown with him. I am sure Edge is shaking in his boots over this one. Jeff Hardy (former IC Champion) could easily be thrown in the title picture. Mr. Kennedy (former US champion) also could be. Umaga (former IC champion) again could be too but more than likely make a run a fall short again.

You can put in the record books that I said this! ECW GOT SCREWED AGAIN! Don't get me wrong Matt Hardy is a huge addition to the ECW roster, but he is all thay got. Plus they lost CM Punk and Kane. I know ECW is not considered one of the major shows, but it could be. It needs a bigger roster, another hour, and maybe another title. It's almost like WWE isn't even trying to keep it around. I am sure Matt Hardy will be in the title picture because he is the biggest name on the roster now! I really don't mean to downgrade his ability, but the whole situation is not fair to ECW and not fair to Matt. The WWE has 80 something wrestlers under contract down in Florida. What is stopping them from calling a few more up to fill out the roster a little? You are already paying them. Maybe I don't know what I am talking about. I am not and probably never will be on the WWE committee, but it just makes more since to me to try and make ECW successful.

One last thing. Michael Cole and Jim Ross have switched places. Although I love to see Ross and Foley working together it is sad to see him leaving RAW.

Vince McMahon was not lying when he said it was time to shake things up, the world of the WWE has been shaken up a lot, and it will be interesting to see how everything settles.
