So for example the main event would determine which show gets the #1 vs getting the #2 (or even #10 for that matter!) selection and would help to the order of the picks themselves. So regardless of what happens 5 would go to SD and 5 would go to RAW only the quality would be affected in this case. Although this would mean that the GM or guest host would actually be involved in this format which would be nice again for a change.
The month-long draft was actually pretty awesome. You knew the picks were made off-camera, and they all debuted with their new shows in different ways. Some guys showed up out of nowhere to interfere in a match (Orton), some guys interrupted promos (Hassan), Cena debuted on Raw as the guest of Jericho's Highlight Reel, etc.

The best was the last night. 6-man elimination match to determine a new SD champion (since Cena had gone to Raw a few weeks earlier). Christian was a surprise participant, as he had just been drafted. Anyway, JBL won the bout but was then told there was no need for a new belt...as World Heavyweight champion Batista was the final pick for SD.
