Agreed. If they actually keep people like they are, it should be good. SD finally has star power, and they can actually make new stars on RAW. But I've got a funny feeling that HHH goes back.

I never got the knock on Khali being a bad wrestler. I mean, he's supposed to be a jacked up 7 foot 400lb monster. He's not going to wear you down with chain wrestling. He's going to hit you and hit you hard. Seriously. As in all sports, some guys just have a genetic advantage. Triple H will probably get traded for Kane, Cryme Tyme, and a fresh bottle of Trips water as a package deal. I have to say though, that was an awesome draft. They finally did it right. Send the big stars around that way they have all new fresh matches and feuds as opposed to moving midcarders around and doing nothing with them after they get drafted I can't believe that they'll do the trade 5 wrestlers for HHH thing that they did in the first draft. I read somewhere that Steph's due to give birth soon, so perhaps it's so he can spend some time with his family. I think it's pretty obvious that Cena is getting the title back though - they can pull some "Raw GM desparately wants the title on his show so he screws HHH over" shenanigans. You know, so HHH doesn't have to job to Cena. The draft looks good, and it was needed, but I think the problem isn't with the talent - they've got plenty of good talent - but with the presentation. These shows need more energy and urgency. Hopefully they'll start adressing that (more wrestlers involved in storylines, more matches, less [or at least shorter] backstage stuff, new guys being featured, stables, factions etc) otherwise in a few weeks it'll be same old same old. |

They could turn Batista heel or something like that too

I think the draft over all went well. The JR thing surprised me and kinda made me sad. I don't think Raw will be the same without him.

It's definitely going to be a weird adjustment but now JR and Mrs. Foley's baby boy can suck eachother off a little more. They should be ok together

They could turn Batista heel or something like that too There's some rumor going around about a Batista/Orton team or stable that, if expanded, would include Lance Cade and Jericho or something like that. I do think that Batista should go heel. I mean, Raw has Cena, HBK Rey, and Kane as established stars and now CM Punk who could easily move up. For heels there's Jericho, JBL (old, out of shape and injured), and Orton (who's hurt until Fall). Cade is still an unknown, but if the pedigree of his class is any indication, then just maybe he could be something. Batista would instantly be the top heel if he turned. |

Why not turn him heel. I think when he turned face he just turned bland.

Sorry to keep going on about it, but it's perfectly aligned to pull the trigger on the Wall Street story. You've got all those faces for heel Cena to mow through for the next couple years. And JBL tried to kill Vince to get him out the way and make the hostile takeover easier. |

To RAW: Batista MVP Taker Edge & his posse Kane Big Show To Smackdown Charlie Haas Kofi Kingston Cody Rhodes A ham sandwich a purse filled with Randy Orton Feces. You have to admit that the exact opposite of this happened. Smackdown is stacked now. |

I did not account for HHH actually caring about his knocked-up wife. |

I think the draft was executed really well. I'm looking forward to seeing what feuds bloom over the next few weeks.
