Reboot!

[loopydate]

And, no I don't mean the weird CGI cartoon show from my childhood.

I was reading the Smackdown Six thread in the Q&A Forum and got to thinking about how exciting things were back then. A big part of that (at least for me) was the original draft itself. It was a really good opportunity for new guys to start coming through, and guys like Lesnar, Benoit, and the Guerreros jumped on it.

Now that things are as stagnant as they've been in a LOOOONG time, i think reshuffling the brands would be a good idea. I know a lot of people have been talking about how going back to the Brand-Exclusive booking style would help out a lot of guys, and I agree. Not brand-exclusive PPVs (although maybe one per brand per year wouldn't be too bad), but if you're drafted to RAW, you wrestle on RAW. No popping in on SD, no cameos on ECW. RAW guys are on RAW and so on and so forth.

Aaaaaaanyway, this is a long-winded explanation for something that's pretty self-explanatory.

I want to see how you guys would book a new WWE draft. Who would go where? When would they be drafted ('cause that will go a long way to help determine how you'd book these guys)? What new feuds would you develop? Where do the titles wind up? Do you split the tag teams?

Anyway, here are...

The Rules

1) 60 total draft picks: 24 RAW, 24 SD, 12 ECW (you can determine the order yourself, but for every two R/S picks, one guy has to go to ECW)
2) Obviously not everyone is going to be drafted, so afterwards divvy up the rest however you see fit (TRYING to keep it as even as possible).
3) Explain as much or as little as you like, but try to keep this somewhere in the realm of reality.

I'll post mine in a bit.
