Sometimes it does make sense to blur the draft lines. I mean, the extra hype for the interpromotional matches at WrestleMania makes sense. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure that there were only two matches at WrestleMania that were confined to the brand split (JBL/Rey and Matt/Jeff). I guess you could count Jericho vs. The Legends as RAW stuff, but The Legends seem to be in a class of their own.

For a draft to mean something, I agree that it should lead to the rosters being more solidified. I think that's the route they should have gone with WrestleMania -- the PPV would close chapters like Cena vs. Edge vs. Show and Orton vs. Triple H unless the draft opened them up again. Alas, that was not to be, but we'll see how it goes.

I'm still thinking that we may get John Cena and Triple H swapping brands, anyway, which could be good. Things do settle down, and even if they don't, what the draft still does is lead to new direction for talent. John Morrison moving to RAW and Kofi Kingston moving to SmackDown!, for example, are moves that might not shake the world, but would at least give each guy a new lease.
