Pretty interesting shake-up. I'm really interested in the aftermath. WWE.com could play a major part in that. Now that it is RAW's top title, the ECW Championship should be renamed the "RAW Championship," at least until it ends up back on ECW.

Theodore Long needs to make a statement on losing his World Champion, and what he plans to do about it. The US Title wasn't good enough to headline his show when they lost John Cena in 2005 -- is it good enough now?

If I were Joey Styles, I'd ask Jim Ross and Vince if I could run an angle where it would be reported that Jim Ross has given his notice to the WWE, unhappy he was drafted, and that he may not be on SmackDown! doing commentary.

How is Vickie Guerrero going to react to the US Title basically being a confirmed ECW title now? Is Big Show going to win the RAW Title from Kane, and make it the SmackDown! Title? Is SmackDown! big enough for three World Champions?

The WWE needs to voice those questions, if only to promote Night of Champions the week's television.

Which would lead to what? Enough of the announcer angles already. They cannot be resolved in the ring, which is what the business is all about. It's just wasted TV time.

"JR's gone... again!" won't sell a single PPV, won't especially encourage very many people to watch SmackDown, and won't make a blind bit of difference when he's back behind the desk three weeks later.

Fuck it, they needed to take him and Lawler out of their comfort zones anyway.

There will obviously be a supplemental draft because they do it ever year. Keyboard is mental, so obviously everyone goes insane.

Triple H will most likely still be on Raw. Remember when he got moved but still stayed on Raw a few years back? He pissed until he got his way-hay!

Yes, they did need to be taken out of their comfort zones. To be honest, I think it will either make both better, or will make Jerry Lawler so unbelievably bad that he needs to be released.

As for that angle I suggested, it plays off JR's attitude. It talks about why JR is as upset as he is that he was moved from RAW to SmackDown!. What does he have against the blue brand? Commentators are how people relate to the action, and having a grumpy commentator will effect that. The more in-depth the WWE goes with it (without giving it major TV time, of course), the more people sympathise or dislike JR for it. The commentators are a major part of the dynamic a show creates.

It won't be a ratings boost, or anything, but it creates a story for SmackDown!. "Who will be calling SmackDown! this week?" is a question that piques interest, much like "Who will Ted DiBiase's partner be at Night of Champions?" or "Who will be drafted next?" Real marks care about those sort of aspects of the show, and not looking after your commentators, referees, lower card talent and mid-card talent can effect people's level of attachment to the show.

My personal thoughts:

- There were some major shakeups, alright. I was calling the entire HHH or HBK being moved being THE shocker, and it happened. HHH got the nod to move. Rey moving from SD was expected for me, but to RAW? ECW got ass-raped this time, I agree. Kennedy, for me, was a weird move last year, but they corrected this a year later (let him be face on SD). The Umaga move was expected (I actually liked the different name Adamle gave him instead of Bulldozer. It fits him a bit more now that they don't have him squashing every single person.)
- Also, was it me, or did every single commentator dog on Adamle the entire night? At least Adamle seemed to not mind it any (even played around with it a little bit. Did he say that he was being RIBBED left and right during that Umaga stuff? That's the first time I've heard ANYONE use THAT lingo on-air before).
- I like that Cole got promoted to RAW. Good for him. The guy deserves it, though I didn't expect the JR move. I was expecting more of an Adamle/Cole switch for some odd reason. Hearing JR on SD will feel VERY weird. Still, nice to have the WWE try this. And I'm very happy for Cole. He gets shitted on by the IWC too much when he does really well.
- I'm confused with this whole McMahon thing. Outside of writing off the Million Dollar stuff, what else was it supposed to accomplish?
- I don't know if anyone else caught it, but when the camera went to Triple H following us finding out about his drafting to SD, Cena was upset about something in the background, pulling on his RAW shirt. Not sure what that was about, but something tells me he was legit shocked at that. Maybe he was told he was going to SD and they changed it at the last minute (maybe he wanted to go to SD, too). I'm interested to find out what that was all about.

I think Cena was upset cause he didnt know if he was still getting his title shot.

Then he would be the stupidest fuck ever to live because they said countless times that the NOC matches would go on as planned regardless of how the draft went.

And if it was in kayfabe, then the WWE must think that we all have THAT short of memories (then again, why do I actually expect the WWE to roll like that?).

I'm pretty confused/excited. Alot of change has occured. I think the JR will be back on Raw within a few months, but other than that I have no idea what will happen. Not to say that I don't like Mick and JR as a team, in fact a friend and I were discussing how amazing that would be earlier, but JR didn't seem happy and Micheal Cole/King is not good television.


Also, I'd rather they retry the death angle than have a paralysis angle or whatever else this might mean. Magdalene said the ambulance should have blow up after the show, that's the best idea I've heard so far.

Yeah, they tried to make it all look real by having Vince call HHH 'Paul'.

The way the whole thing happened though like the set falling apart was really cheap-looking and looked more fake than Cena's punches.

My thoughts on each pick:

Rey Mysterio: Solid move...I definitely saw Rey moving although I had him ticketed for ECW. I'd love to see Jericho and Rey revisit their old WCW rivalry.

Jeff Hardy: Another good move...could work a program with Edge. He actually has a chance at shining on Smackdown.

CM Punk: Another guy I saw getting drafted, although I got the show wrong. Punk on Raw could be all kinds of awesome though.

Matt Hardy: The US Title on ECW could be interesting, and it'll stay on that show since Chavo and Matt are fighting over it at NoC, both on ECW. If the ECW title stays on for the long haul, I'm sure they'll either add a new belt to SD or bring one over.

JR/Cole: Good for Cole. He really deserved a promotion IMO. Hearing JR on Smackdown will also be very different, probably the first time he's called the blue show since the Alliance angle in 2001 before Tazz took over full-time.

Batista: Saw this one coming a mile off. I like it though because Bats badly needed to be freshened up. I'm sure his never-ending rematch clause will finally cease to exist on Raw.

Umaga: This one needed to be done. I think he'd fit better on ECW, but whatever. Hopefully they won't make him jobber to the stars on SD as well.

Kane: This one genuinely surprised me, didn't see it coming. I love Kane, but I fail to see how he won't get lost in the shuffle on Raw. I can see either Kane or Batista turning heel for a feud with one another.

Mr. Kennedy: Good to see them undo a move that never should have been made to begin with. And he already has an unresolved, custom-built feud with Edge ready to go. Kennedy seemed to be pointing at Edge when he got picked, reminding Edge of how he once screwed him over.

Triple H: I figured either Cena or HHH was moving...but my money was on Cena, because I was certain HHH didn't wanna work Tuesdays. This greatly helps Smackdown, although I do worry that Jeff Hardy and Mr. Kennedy will stay as upper-midcarders, hence why they need a second singles title on that show.

--------

All in all, awesome job of shaking things up. I'm thinking the fact that ECW lost Punk and Kane...plus Tazz seemingly being furious about ECW getting hosed, helps plant the seeds for the eventual Raw merger. And the title situations intrigue me.

I liked the CM switch, but I swear I see the guy on Raw all the time. I dunno. I hate Rey, but Vito brought up a good point of him and Jericho maybe feuding. It's going to be strange not having Ross around anymore. HHH gone is a plus for me. I don't know why Kane is moving to Raw. to be a jobber I guess. Didn't care to see Kennedy go. Batista is cool because I haven't seen him for a while and he can feud with Orton. Jeff leaving is no big deal. Not really a Jeff Hardy fan.

The one move I was dissapointed about was MVP not coming to Raw. Come on..

My first post before I get started, all though I have been checking out the tpww forums on a weekly basis...

After being a wrestling fan for almost 11 years, I've seen some awesome storylines and match's. The Raw draft this past Monday was awesome from a standard point of view.

I am glad JR moved from Raw to Smackdown because when Cole called Raw back I think was 1999 when they where planning on turning JR heel. Cole was a lot better at calling it to be honest. And I can see why they ditched good old JR to Smackdown because Smackdown need an extra hand at the moment.

But please for the love of god, I seriously hope they do not make another Cole and Jim Ross feud, because it only lasted a week or two last time because the fans still chanted for Jim Ross.

Anyway back to the draft, Triple H being drafted to Smackdown I can see why this happened because Smackdown need the ratings and in order to do that then they need to bring some good top selling guys in such as Umaga and Jeff Hardy etc. But why also move Matt to ECW if they wanted Smackdown to be a success then they should have kept the Hardy Boys together as a tag team.

And as for the ending of Raw, Well that is WWE for you, I would have to say it is Owen Hart coming back from beyond the gravy and causing mayhem. What next??? Vince Mcmahon highers Ghost Hunters to sort out the problem.

I can see where there going with this though, Does the "leg angle" remind you of the storyline beetween Kane and Undertaker and McMahon remember when Kane slammed the steel steps on McMahons legs back in 1998 which forced Vince to be wheel chair bound. Wonder if it will all be because of The Undertaker??. and we might see Taker vs Cena this year thank god.

Well that is my two cents on the draft.

If I am talking out of my ass forgive me, it's really late over here in the UK, and I've been up half the night ha ha. So sorry if I've talked alot.

Peace
LEE

I'm pretty much in the same boat with Vito a few posts back.

Rather surprised that none of the Divas got switched around. We'll see what goes down on Night of Champions on the Smackdown side.

You know what I find a little funny?

-I find it funny how Triple H semi-hugged Batista before the Inter-brand battle royale began....like they were best buddies or something. I mean - isn't Batista the guy that kicked Triple H's ass not once, not twice, but THREE TIMES back in 2005? (one of matches of which, took place at Wrestlemania). Why haven't these three ass-whippings "burned a hole" in Triple H?......like the ONE loss to John Cena did? (two years ago).

If Ultimate Warrior gets inducted into the hall of fame next year, can we expect Triple H to attack him with a sledge hammer? Warrior beat Triple H in less than 10 seconds if I recall correctly. Perhaps that is still "burning a hole" within Hunter?

Warrior didn't beat anyone in less than 10 seconds. That was his last hurrah, he got embarrassed in WCW shortly thereafter. HHH had the last laugh.
