Reboot!

I am glad you switched the IC and US belts. I was doing that until I realized how long the list was taking. I don't think ECW's roster will ever be big enough to make ECW viable as its own entity, so I think it has to rely on the partnership with SD. I am fine with that because you see the tag belts defended more.

I’m going to assume that it would take a bit to hype this up, but that it would occur soon.

Special 3-Hour Raw (first 30 Picks)

Mr. McMahon open the show and states that the draft will be set up this way: There will be several “rounds”, each consisting of 5 picks. Raw gets first pick in round one, then SD! gets 2 picks, then Raw again. ECW being the crappy show that it is, will only get 1 pick after Raw and SD have each had 2. The second round will have SD! getting the first and fourth picks, Raw gets the second and third, and ECW gets the fifth again. Matches will occur between “rounds”. Estrada is visibly unhappy, Vince notices and threatens him. Estrada backs down.

1. HHH (Raw)
2. Edge (SD!)
3. Orton (SD!)
4. Cena (Raw)
5. Big Show (ECW)
6. JBL (SD!)
7. HBK (Raw)
8. Mr. Kennedy (Raw)
9. MVP (SD!)
10. Punk (ECW)
11. Undertaker (Raw)
12. Batista (SD!)
13. Lance Cade (SD!)
14. Y2J (Raw)
15. Umaga (ECW)
16. Matt Hardy (SD!)
17. Jeff Hardy (Raw)
18. Cody Rhodes (Raw)
19. Kane (SD!)

Before Estrada makes his 4th pick, he finally breaks down and tells Vince off. Vince knew it would come to this and fires him as GM of ECW, and introduces the new GM, Tommy Dreamer. Tommy has pity on the jobless Estrada and drafts him.

20. Estrada (ECW)

Bob Holly is seen backstage sincerely congratulating Cody on being selected before him. Cody takes it the wrong way and turns on Bobcore. The Raw GM gets word of this and drafts Hardcore so that the feud can continue.

21. Holly (Raw)
22. Festus (SD!)
23. Jesse (SD!)
24. Burke (Raw)
25. Kofi (ECW)
26. Kozlov (SD!)
27. JTG (Raw)
28. Shad (Raw)
29. Chuck Palumbo (SD!)
30. Charlie Haas (ECW)


ECW

Show opens with Vince once again in the ring. He noticed that none of the Divas were drafted last night, and he does like his ladies. Therefore, he is modifying the next 9 picks, and ordering all GMs to draft divas for the rest of the show. Dreamer goes to Haas and explains that he drafted Charlie because, regardless of Vince’s speech on Raw, Tommy plans to make ECW a brand to be reckoned with again. Dreamer knows that Charlie’s been overlooked before - this is his chance to show everyone what they missed out on.

31. Mickie James (Raw)
32. Candice (SD!)
33. Kelly Kelly (ECW)
34. Ashley (SD!)
35. Katie Lea (ECW)
36. Beth Phoenix (Raw)
37. Layla (ECW)
38. Natalya (Raw)
39. Maria (SD!)


Smackdown!

A previously-unseen Regal returns to demand that the King be returned to his proper placing on Raw. He continues to work the GM (whoever it turns out to be)


40. Finlay (w/ Horny) (Raw)
41. Morrison (SD!)
42. Miz (SD!)
43. Snitsky (Raw)
44. Kenny (ECW)
45. Greg Helms (SD!)
46. Deuce (Raw)
47. Domino (Raw)
48. Rey Mysterio (SD!)

At some point, Hawkins (or Ryder - they’re interchangeable) goes to Dreamer and said he’s heard about Tommy’s vision for the ECW, and he wants to be part of it.

49. Hawkins (or Ryder - whoever went to Tommy) (ECW)
50. DH Smith (Raw)
51. Rory (SD!)
52. Robbie (SD!)
53. Val Venis (Raw)
54. Stevie Richards (ECW)

Since this is ECW’s last pick, Stevie could view it as a sympathy pick, and turn heel.

55. Chavo (SD!)
56. Carlito (Raw)
57. Santino (Raw)
58. Noble (SD!)
59. Murdoch (SD!)

The Raw GM finally relents to Regal’s softening.

60. William Regal (Raw)

The rest of the rosters are filled out so that the women who can wrestle are on Raw, the Cruiserweight title is revived on SD!, and Burchill makes it onto ECW to finally carry through on the incest angle since ECW is on later at night.
