Okay..that was an unexpected supplemental draft.

Trips isn't moving back to RAW...oh my...

RAW gains...

Kofi Kingston
Layla
Matt Striker (WTF?)
Chuck Palumbo (Who?)
Deuce
Jamie Noble

ECW gains...
Mark Henry

Spoiler:

theres your new ECW champ

Super Crazy (Lets hope they use him well)
Finlay
Hornswoggle

Smackdown gains...
Carlito
Shelton Benjamin
Maria
Brian Kendrick (so we'll never see him or London on TV again)
Big Daddy V
Trevor Murdoch


Okay seriously...I think I understand...3 of those trades. I can see Finlay and Hornswoggle helping the ratings for ECW and seeing JR increase the ratings for Smackdown.

Personally, I think a Kofi/Bourne tag team would have been pretty sweet because WWE..seriously...the whole "David/Goliath" angle has been played out by ya'll too many times.

Kane vs Show vs Henry sounds like an awesome match to me. Giant, brute strength... Now if it was an elimination chamber and you throw in Umaga and Snitsky in the mix... hmmm... and with... ECW extreme rules... HMMM....

Para, better add one more to the mix there because the Elimination Chamber usually houses six opponents. How about the Great Khali? XD

Okay, Raw's gain...I only know about two of those people. I can't believe Striker is still around and I only know about Kofi because I tuned into ECW about a week or two ago...plus this previous night when he lost to JBL.

But who the hell are these people?
Layla
Chuck Palumbo
Deuce
Jamie Noble

Actually I know who the three guys are because they've been mentioned many times on this thread, but I've never seen them in action.


Smackdown getting Maria is a shame. Christy Hemme went that route and eventually ended up in TNA. Carlito isn't that big of a loss, of course that's one more tag team down the drain. Shelton Benjamin moving up to Smackdown is alright, but I wish they would put him back on Raw.

The other drafts I don't care much for except for Finlay and Hornswoggle. I miss seeing Hornswoggle making Monday nights enjoyable to watch. The stuff he did with Coach is just classic.

LoL. Well, Chuck Palumbo started out in WCW teaming with Sean O'haire. During the Invasion angle he eventually began to team with Billy Gunn creating the infamous Chuck and Billy tag team, and eventually joined by Rico before he defected to 3 Minute Warning. After that Chuck soon teamed with Nunzio (little Guido) and Johnny Stambolli (now known as Rellik in TNA) as the Full Blooded Italians. He was then released and came back now using a greaser style gimmick. He had a thing going with Michelle McCool and a feud with Jamie Noble.

Deuce was part of the 50's team of Deuce and Domino, with Cherry. Deuce shows a whole lot of promise (not to mention, if I remember right, he's the adopted son of Superfly Snuka) and IMO, he's a much better performer than Domino. The two also held the tag titles.

Noble was the dude who was with Nidia, if any of you remember her, and also had the Pitbulls tag team with Kid Kash before he was released.

Layla...only thing I know is that she has boobs and danced on ECW a lot and I think feuded with Kelly Kelly...who also has boobs and danced on ECW.

Oh snap! Chuck from Billy and Chuck? I didn't know he was still around. I take back what I said, I've seen him perform but only during the Billy and Chuck angle. Actually, remembering that tag team is bringing a bad taste to my mouth. Ugh.

Noble, I barely remember him and Nidia on Smackdown because I barely watched the show back then. Now I don't even watch it at all.

I've never seen the Deuce and Domino tag team, but the name definitely rings a bell.

If that's honestly all that Layla was for...then why the hell would you move Maria to Raw? Lemme go find a pic of Layla.

OH! Isn't that the same chick that was with Extreme Expose' and the Miz? Jeez...should've moved her to Smackdown and kept Maria on Raw.

Jamie Noble is actually a amazing performer. He held the ROH World Title back in 2005. Now, if only he would stay away from the steroids for good now...

So, D.H. Smith is also going to SMackdown! I guess there goes Ted Jr's partner...

not necessarily mort. WWE could be doing this as a move to sway peoples thoughts and make them go "who is it"

Jamie Noble was awesome during the invasion era. Him, Taijiri and Nidia were hilarious. Infact there was a Smackdown show I went to with a friend of mine, and you could hear us on TV in the crowd goinh "HECK NO I'M JAMIE NOBLE, BOY!" In that over-exaggerated southern accent. My favorie skit so far is when they were in that italian resturant and Nidia uses a noodle and kisses Taijiri and Jamie was like "Hold up son.. ME NEXT BABY ME NEXT!"

Gonna be interesting to see how everything is once the dust from the draft settles. Who knows, it could be for the better (and maybe Kane will get a real title run)

Or maybe...just maybe...yes, I can see it now...

Ted Jr. "Everyone has a price...except for me who is priceless. ANd one other..."

*Cue in the Million Dollar Man's Theme and out comes the original Million Dollar man himself*

Spoiler:

Wow to NoC.

Rhodes turns on Holly. So Hollys essentially fucked.
Kofi beats Y2J for the IC title.
Raw has no champion

Yeah...I agree...sleep was better

Slash you're missing the most important point:

Spoiler:

Cena is NOT the champion! YES!! They'll either:

1. Unify the titles on Smackdown and hold a tournament on Raw for the new champion, much like they did when Smackdown didn't have a champion until Batista was drafted over.

2. Edge will go to Raw to serve as the champion for that brand or, more likely, HHH will go back to Raw.

3. Have Smackdown start a brand war, whichever brand has all the titles will be the dominant brand.

Also, Mark Henry as the ECW champion? Meh...ECW isn't as extreme as it used to be when it started up again.

Spoiler:

I'd rather have a heel Cena champ personally.

Spoiler:

This isn't going to work out for ratings. All three brands are kinda messed up :/. Y2J lost the IC title to Kofi, who I think is in ECW. ~_~ RAW only has the tag titles. Btw that stunt Cody pulled was the product of once and while brilliant writing.

Spoiler:

Kofi was drafted to Raw in the supplemental draft. and I think Kofi is an amazing performer. Hopefully they will keep him face and not have him turn heel because he is very exciting

Spoiler:

Triple H won't go back to Raw, not for a while at least, because the move to Smackdown will benefit him greatly due to him about to have a second kid. Vince had told JR he "sacrificed" Triple H by moving him to Smackdown, but it was for Trips benefit.

Well, I'm sure everyone knows the draft by now, but I think all the RAW superstars that went to Smackdown will greatly benefit smackdown as well.

HHH's name pulls a lot of power, much more than Batista.
Jeff Hardy will pull a huge fan base over.
JR will bring a lot of people over as well as help the commentating crew for SD!

Mainly because the two big names on Smackdown were Batista and Edge ever since Taker was "fired"

HOLY SHIT!!

Spoiler:

Oh my God, I did not see that coming at all. Damn, I'm actually proud of CM Punk pulling that off. Cashes in MitB after Batista destroyed Edge, becomes World Champion (thus solving Raw's problem of being without a champ), and best of all...IT'S NOT CENA!! Punk being champion though...absolutely brilliant. It'll definitely cause some new feuds to happen on Raw.

Seriously, Edge will just get HHH's title.
