2009 WWE Supplemental Draft
I don’t expect too much to happen here. There might be a pick that
would benefit in the long run like last years picks of Finlay and
Mark Henry to ECW & Kofi Kingston to Raw. To be perfectly honest some
of these picks might not seem smart or note worthy until much later
on. I am gonna comment as the picks are announced and then do some
wrap ups
#1 - Mr. Kennedy Drafted to Raw
And raw gets more Mid Carders. This might seem mote because Kennedy
him self has said that his shoulder injury might be too much for him
to continue. Time will tell if this is good or bad.
#2 - Shad Gaspard Drafted to Smackdown
So Cryme Thyme is going to smackdown. That or JTG is going to be fired again.
#3 - Alicia Fox Drafted to Smackdown
I guess they are shacking things up for the Divas division on
smackdown. All these women are the same to me
#4 - Primo Colon - Drafted to Raw
Well there goes my thought that they might actually be making Cryme
Thyme into a Tag Title contender. Fink is going nuts because the new
Unified Tag Champs are separated. He isn’t as cynical as me.
#5 - Mike Knox - Drafted to Smackdown
Wait didn’t Kane already have this spot? So I guess this means we are
going to be “treated” to Knox vs Kane and Knox vs Khali and Knox vs
Undertaker. Shoot me now
#6 - Ezekiel Jackson - Drafted to ECW
Well it looks like they want to try THE Brian Kendricks main servant
by him self. I see no problem with that. This is what I believe ECW
is for. A testing ground.
#7 - Nikki Bella - Drafted to Raw
Are they splitting up the twins? Is she going to make an impact on RAW
when she gets there? DO I REALLY CARE?
#8 - Candice Michelle - Drafted to Smackdown
I guess they are serious about pumping up the competition for Melina.
Good choice unless she injured her self again.
#9 - Zach Ryder - Drafted to ECW
Lets take a tag team that tried to be the Worlds Greatest Tag team and
failed. MISERABLY. I hope they are breaking up Ryder and Hawkins and
are at lest keeping Hawkins on smackdown
#10 - Chavo Guerrero - Drafted to Raw
If you didn’t see this coming a mile away you don’t watch wrestling
enough. Once Vikki Guerrero moved to raw this was an after thought. WHO
WOULD PUSH HER WHEEL CHAIR IF CHAVO WASN’T THERE.
#11 - Ricky Ortiz - Drafted to Smackdown
Ok sure. New talent to smackdowns mid to lower card
#12 - Layla - Drafted to Smackdown
So I guess they want to see if she can wrestle. All I can remember
her doing is walking Regal down so this is good.
#13 - Hornswoggle - Drafted to Raw
So is Finlay going to raw? If not is Horny getting fired?
#14 - DH Smith - Drafted to ECW
Ok so DH Smith can show what he can do and this time next year will be
upped to the big brands. Davey Boy's boy should do well on smackdown
#15 - John Morrison - Drafted to Smackdown
I call it right here an IC Title rain before summer slam. MARK MY
WORDS. This is good for a guy who was toe to toe in the talent
department with CM Punk two years ago.
#16 - Carlito - Drafted to Raw
So the new tag champs are on raw. I see them loosing to Legacy before
summerslam. Hell even June.
#17 - Natalya - Drafted to ECW
OK now I am mad. Natalya would benefit from the exposure and the
better talent in the woman’s division on Smackdown. Now she is in a
place where SHE WON’T WRESTLE. THAT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE.
#18 - Festus - Drafted to Raw
But what about Jessie? Meh I say MEH. Fetus will get crushed under
the weight of the Raw Roster.
#19 - JTG - Drafted to Smackdown
Thus Cryme Thyme reunites. That was a scary hour. I think this team
has the talent but management isn’t high on them for some reason. That
will continue and frustrate me.
#20 - Dolph Ziggler - Drafted to Smackdown
Fine he goes to a Mid card that is ripe of new talent. I don’t think
this is a bad or good think. All I feel is apathy.
#21 - THE Brian Kendrick - Drafted to Raw
THE Brian Kendrick could find him self in a place to shine or sink to
the bottom. I think he is talented enough to keep a float in the mid
card. Given the right situation maybe higher.
#22 - Charlie Haas - Drafted to Smackdown
I am going against the cool kids and saying “bring back the serious
Haas”. They probably wont but look at the bright side THE WORLDS
GREATEST TAG TEAM IS BACK ON THE SAME BRAND. They will screw this up.
#23 - Hurricane Helms - Drafted to ECW
WOW and some ones career might of just changed. Helms is a guy who
could make a run for the ECW title. If they push him to it. Also he
could have some great matches against Christian along the way. This
is good.
#24 - Brie Bella - Drafted to Raw
The twins are back together . . . yay. I just had a bad thought,
perhaps they are going to create a Divas Tag Titles. That makes me
said.
Thoughts
WHY WAS HORNSWOGGLE DRAFTED TO RAW!!! IT MAKES NO SENSE! Most brands
got a swap in the mid card that cant really be measured right now. In
the past some people have been fired before they premier on their new
brand. So who knows.
Draft Pick of the Draft TIE John Morrison to Smackdown & Hurricane Helms to ECW
I couldn’t decide so I picked both of them. I CAN DO WHAT I WANT. Both have to potential to be in their perspective brands main title hunts. I see both of these draft picks as a shot in the arm that both guys need. They should see this as the opportunity to show management they can be at the top of the card. It also might be there last change.
OVERALL
This draft while not as ground breaking as last years in terms of moves gives tons of guys a new chance to show what they can do. Raw is stacked to the teeth and obviously the only show Vince wants to succeed. Smackdown like always will have to put on great wrestling matches to show it’s a brand worth taking seriously. Pretty much normal stuff for this brand extension. I take away optimism from this brand extension that it wont screw any one over in the long run. Well every one except Hornswaggle.
Thus ends the 2009 WWE Draft. I hope every one had fun. Or at lest opened a six pack.
