It will be interesting to see who moves. Its as good as a release tbh unless they try to make it useful and push the guys. Here's what I think........

Kennedy to ECW
TBK to Raw/ECW
Jimmy Yang may move
Jesse n Festus to ECW
Thats all that I can think of so far lol

[John]

Kennedy already gone to Raw, Not really a surprise, but i really thought that maybe he would retire.

SHAD TO SD :o....Wow, Hopefully he'll get some good matches.

[tommy]

Thank you for having this. WWE.com wasn't letting me join their live chat thing. How often do they draft a new superstar?

[John]

^ A guy called Corey announced one everytime his phone rings.....Could be anything between 1 minute to 5 minutes.

Alicia to SD is a good move, glad she broke away from the DJ.

[Nick, Your Indie Lover]

Thoughts so far:

!. Really...Kennedy to RAW? Why? TO ruin him even more. The past two times he has been drafted, I've praised it. Now it is ridiculous. Kennedy had an opportunity with the absence of HHH to be main event on Smackdown. Stupid

2. Shad to SD puzzles me. I thought JTG would go to Smackdown (and maybe he will to beef up the tag team division), but SD already hasits share of singles big guys.

3. Alica moving to smackdown may boost up the diva's division, but DJ Gabriel should atleast move with her, only to be a jobber.

[tommy]

My thoughts so far:

1. While I LOVE Kennedy to raw since I will see him every week, I agree he should have stayed on smackdown. He could have fueded with Edge finally, Jericho, even Jeff Hardy and CM Punk. Raw is overrun with the "big guys" who are main event, and moving Kennedy there will just get him lost in the shuffle.

2. Shad to smackdown is interesting. If JTG doesn't move as well, I think I could see this as a way to explain why Shad gets fired and JTG doesn't, since there is so much negativity on Shad. If JTG doesn't get drafted to smackdown, this may be a case of never debuting before getting the ax.

3. Alicia Fox to smackdown...who cares, unless they pair her with Edge again.

[tommy]

EDIT: sorry, double post. As long as I did it, might as well say...

4. Primo to Raw. I'm not a huge fan of this one. I don't want Primo and Carlito on RAW...they aren't that entertaining, IMO.

[JohnCenaFan28]

tommy it's about every 10 minutes or so a new draft happens. I'm not liking any of the drafts so far:(

[Nick, Your Indie Lover]

Primo to RAW? Wow. A pick that suprised the fuck out of me. But why? What tag team matches happen on RAW. What tag teams are on Raw.

Why does the WWE hate tag teams?

[tommy]

Poor Kennedy...drafted three years in a row, but this time pushed to the supplemental.

Damn, I will enjoy Kennedy on RAW though, no matter how disappointing it is for him...

[Nick, Your Indie Lover]

Knox to Smackdown is a horrible move. SmackDown is too much of a powerhouse. I'm thinking that this was made to make room for Mark Henry, but think of this...Khali, Kane, Umaga, Ezekiel, Shad, Taker, and now Mike Knox. Give Smackdown some purity.

[John]

Wow, I wanna know what's going to happen here, it will be really interesting to see how WWE cope with Primo/Carlito.

[tommy]

None of the big guys on smackdown are main event level though, cept for Taker. All of the main guys are smaller: edge, jericho, punk, mysterio. So yeah, they have all the big guys, but hopefully it won't become just about that.

I'm just glad Knox is off raw...that was terrible.

[Nick, Your Indie Lover]

there! My favorit epick so far! Ezekiel to ECW could mean a seperate push for both him and TBK or TBK dominating on ECW

[tommy]

I really hope TBK goes to ECW. I don't think Zeke is ready to be off on his own, and Kendrick's gimmick is great right now, he just needs a push. ECW is just the place to do that. Put the belt on Christian, have him fend off the bad guys like Morrison, TBK, and Koslov for a while while Evan Bourne goes against the younger talent like Swagger and Kidd. Then have someone beat Christian for the belt, move him brands, and let Bourne go after the heel champion.

[Nick, Your Indie Lover]

So, I'm not liking pick number seven. Not alot of pizzaz or importance. Maybe a force in the Divas division, but she has just been used for storylines.

[JohnCenaFan28]

Nikki should have stayed heel because she's now on RAW, maybe she'll team back again with The Miz?

[tommy]

It'd be interesting to see if Brie moves as well. If not, I'd have to imagine that they would switch themselves without telling the WWE, just for funsies. Either way, eh, that pick does nothing for me.

[Nick, Your Indie Lover]

Ryder on ECW bring a fashionable, cocky, athletic, flying heel. I love this. Too many heels on ECW. Turn or draft a face please.

[tommy]

I'm glad Candice is off RAW now, I never liked her.

Zack Ryder to ECW...does anyone else have a feeling that every tag team will be broken up today and the tag team division will cease completely?

[JohnCenaFan28]

Zack Ryder could do wonders in ECW. Hopefully they give him the chance. That tag-team had them trapped as "clones" imo and no one could tell them apart. Now he might get repackaged so that no one would still have the idea that they're Edge's imitation.

[tommy]

Chavo to raw...now he can be a gopher there!

Once again...nothing. This is a let down so far.

[JohnCenaFan28]

Ricky Ortiz is awful, he should have just stayed on FCW forever and live as world champion there:dearme: I'm glad Candice is gone, I don't like her at all and Nikki is way better.

[tommy]

Ortiz to Smackdown...that'll work well. If you can't get time on ECW, how the hell are you going to get it on smackdown?

[Nick, Your Indie Lover]

Ricky Ortiz, lawl. Has he beaten anyone besides a jobber?

[tommy]

Layla to SD. Another pointless move. This draft is a vast letdown. The only possible game changer so far is Kennedy. And you just know they are saving Mark Henry for the last "big" one...and it'll just leave us all pissed.

[JohnCenaFan28]

I hope Layla gets a push on SmackDown! she really is a good worker and she just needs a chance.

[Nick, Your Indie Lover]

Ziggler to SD might not happen :( . Layla to SD was retarded. A lot of potential has been ruined in this draft and great things that could have happened, wo'nt.

[tommy]

Hornsoggle to RAW. What the hell, this is the worst draft ever. Why would they do this? He was awful on RAW the first time, why do it again?

[tommy]

Tag teams left alive in WWE: Rhodes and Dibiase, Jesse and Festus, and MAYBE the colons still.

[tommy]

DH Smith to ECW. So, looks like no legacy for him, but maybe he'll team up with Kidd?

[Nick, Your Indie Lover]

Hey, a tag team just formed possbly: DH Smith and Tyson Kidd.

Hoping ECW gets one more pick in the form ofHurricane Helms or R-Truth. I hope RAW gets a pick to strengthen the second tier/midcarders. I hope SD's final pick is Ziggler or a possible face main eventer (as in Ziggler)

[JohnCenaFan28]

Hornswoggle was a waste of a draft, I'd have rather someone else get a move like Helms but NO they waste it on Hornswoggle. Goldust needs to go to ECW!

[tommy]

Ziggler? Face main eventer? You can't be serious.

What NEEDS to happen to save this draft:
One of the following:
TBK to ECW
R-truth to ECW

One of the following:
R-truth to RAW
TBK to RAW

and Horswoggle must be fired.

[Nick, Your Indie Lover]

Goldust on ECW is around my ideals. I just want a high face on the brand.

[Nick, Your Indie Lover]

I'm high on Ziggler man. After reading the SD spoilers, I got excited.

Morrision to Smackdown opens so many doors for Ryder getting drafter as well as his push to a singles career. This is so far the smartest pick of the 2009 Sup. draft.

[JohnCenaFan28]

I'm so happy Morrison is on SmackDown! With the huge steal of talent that RAW did, Morrison will have space to truly shine! While The Miz will get lost on RAW! HAHAHA ROB! All I wish was Morrison got the main draft move shown on RAW instead but whatever, I'm still happy:D

[tommy]

Goldust is old and worthless, he shouldn't be with the company period.

[tommy]

Morrison to SD is a good move. There will be a lot of great matches between the top smackdown guys (taker, edge, punk, hardy, jericho, morrison, mysterio). Ziggler isn't getting drafted. Look who he beat in the spoilers...that screams that he is staying on RAW and entering into a program there. I could be wrong though.

[Nick, Your Indie Lover]

Yes! Carlito on Raw as expected! I'm still mad the tag team moved but I'm just relieved their together.

So Ziggler beating you know who isn't a way of passing the torch on Smackdown?

[tommy]

I guess that isn't too terrible, but I am not looking forward to seeing him back on raw.

[JohnCenaFan28]

Goldust is old and worthless, he shouldn't be with the company period.

He's not old and worthless! You're just being biased because he's old, but he's still got it and much better mic skills than a lot of the WWE guys.

[John]

^ Goldust would be great for ECW, He'd be better than Kozlov and also Jackson.

I agree that Hornswoggle was a waste of a draft pick. Carlito going to Raw is a good move......Now One of the problems is sorted.

[tommy]

Wow, WWE.com said DH smith was drafted from RAW. They don't even remember what brand he was on!

[Nick, Your Indie Lover]

Natalya on ECW did the Hart Foundation 2.0 justice! ECW's last pick should now be a dignified face.

DH Smith was never really on Smackdown because the plans fell through. I thought that they could have just moved them over silently.

[John]

Natayla to ECW.......Wasn't she already there?.......

[JohnCenaFan28]

DH Smith got drafted to SmackDown! in the last draft. Anyway, I thought Natalya could have just appeared on ECW without a draft move, since she's been there for months anyway. A wasted draft move but I'm excited to see where this goes:)

[tommy]

Now, if WWE wants to do something right, they need to group together Tyson Kidd with the newly drafted DH Smith and Natalya as a stable and build them up very strongly on ECW for an eventual Legacy fued...

[Nick, Your Indie Lover]

I don't know what to make of this pick. Festus will possibly just be a simple-minded big man. He'll keep his gimmick, but have it without Jesse, who might go to his OVW gimmick.

[John]

Well......Festus to Raw, a good move imo......He will do good on Raw, Now his team is destroyed, he can hopefully get a new gimmick.

[tommy]

Festus to RAW...and then there were two tag teams left in the WWE. Something tells me those unified belts are going on Legacy and then never moving for about a year until Hart Foundation 2.0 is ready for the fued...

[JohnCenaFan28]

^ Yeah, which is gonna suck. It'll be like when Cody Rhodes and Hardcore Holly had the titles except better by a bit...

[tommy]

It's a good bragging right...but I would prefer the olden days of tag team glory.

[Nick, Your Indie Lover]

Meh, couldn't care much for Cryme Tyme on SD!. They'll possibly go unoticed like on RAW

[tommy]

Cryme Tyme is reuinited. Three tag teams in WWE.

[John]

It's a big shame JTG is now on Smackdown.......I had big things planning for Shad, He could have gone far on his own, instead of with JTG hanging around.

[JohnCenaFan28]

I could have swore the big guy of Cryme Tyme(the one everyone said had major heat backstage) was going to get fired while the other got pushed.

[Nick, Your Indie Lover]

I think we know where I stand on Ziggler getting drafted to Smackdown....

Definately one of the best picks today

[JohnCenaFan28]

Ziggler will be a great addition to SmackDown! I just wish my dreams would come true:sad: Goldust to ECW!

[Nick, Your Indie Lover]

Kendrick to RAW is a hit and miss. Kendrick will get more TV time because he has established himself, but he hasno Zeke and competition in MVP, The Miz, Kofi, Hardy, Kennedy, and...Festus? I don't know.

[John]

Great! TBP to Raw, this is a truly fantastic move! I can't wait for him to show off his talents on raw with the likes of - MVP, Kofi.

[JohnCenaFan28]

The Brian Kendrick to RAW is good and bad, I hope he doesn't get lost in the shuffle but he's a great heel. I think he might get new muscle in Festus, if he stays there without Jesse. And maybe someone will have to try and help Festus get out of Kendrick's control, or something:dunno: All I know is that I'm happy I can see him live again:)

[John]

I am really happy about this, i feel that WGTT may re-unite......This can only get better from here!

[Nick, Your Indie Lover]

Hurricane hittng ECW and giving them a possible ECW champion!

[christianedge]

hopefully we'll see dh, natalya, n tyson team up...hopefully knox, big zeke, and kendrick get something good out of this...and carlito is back on raw, now that's cool!

[tommy]

My thoughts on the last picks I missed:

20. Dolph to SD: That makes no sense, after getting that huge win over a RAW title holder this week. Hopefully they have something in mind (reshaping his character) so that he can be effective.

21. The Brian Kendrick to RAW: This should be good, if they don't drop the ball. Get him out there doing his thing, give him mic time, and push him!

22. Charlie Haas to SD: This may just end up holding Shelton back, if it does anything.

23. Helms to ECW: That's a good move, as he has not been used for anything lately. Now the ECW faces are: Christian, kinda Finlay, Evan Bourne, and Helms.

24. Brie Bella to RAW: whatever.

[christianedge]

helms! now i can watch christian and helms on ecw! brie bella is hot. hopefully they keep charlie away from shelton

[lɐuǝɯo⊥ǝɥԀ]

A mixed bag in terms of draft results, Morrison, Kendrick etc. are good, others like Hornswoggle to RAW are just bad. An overall ok but could have been alot better

[Xan20]

Maria should have been brought back to Raw

[John]

20. Dolph Ziggler To SmackDown!

This is a good move imo, Him going to Smackdown is a good start, A fresh clear start.

21. The Brian Kendrick To RAW

Yes! I hope he gets treated properly.

22. Charlie Haas To SmackDown!

23. Hurricane Helms To ECW

Really Good Move!

24. Brie Bella To RAW

The sound of no-one caring is so deafening right now.

[Kellie]

Great work EeL, thankyou

[Kenpachi Zaraki]

Kennedy to RAW n Helms to ECW surprise. I hope they dont release them as is the norm. Interesting to see how Kendrick n Zeke works out although it would b interesting to watch Zeke n Mark Henry :P

Ryder n Hawkins separated so thats 2 releases coming as far as i can see and Jesse n Festus separated that's gonna b intersting as well. Rest I am not sure about
