An open letter to the WWE Board,

WWE,what were you thinking when you decided to release Umaga,one of the best heels in WWE history?Look,I don't really care what happened,whether he spoke his mind(it's still a free country and not a fascist dictatorship,last I checked!)or some stupid politics backstage,but for you to release a top star of his caliber in his prime is a slap in the face for not only his fans,but for all of wrestling in general!I was so looking forward to an Umaga/Undertaker feud which would have seen the "Samoan Bulldozer" clash with the"Deadman"himself,in what would have been a classic battle between two of the most dangerous superstars in WWE history!!!!

I wouldn't be surprised at all if he decided to go to TNA or ROH at this moment,but you shouldn't let him go!!Bring him back and grow some balls and apologize to him!Make him feel at home again!Push him as the indestructable monster that you want him to be!Give him a pay raise,anything to keep him in the WWE,because your loss is the competition's gain!!!!And I'm not the only one who feels this way:listen to your fans and bring back Umaga!!!!!!

Thank You,

Sincerly,

Well,it has been one week since the 2009 Draft and already many of you are scratching your heads about it!!!While I wasn't surprised by seeing a few of my predictions come true(MVP to Raw,Jericho to Smackdown,etc),I was complexed by Triple H's return to Raw,after less than a year after going to Smackdown,not to mention a bit irate that ECW once again got the shaft!!!And Hornswaggle on Raw????I hope they have a Leprechaun Division created,because I can't see him in the same ring against The Big Show or Matt Hardy!!!!

So what can be done about next year's Draft to make sure everyone gets a fair shake on the Draft picks???Well,here is my solution!!!It might be a bit radical,but if done right,it could create new interest in the brands,and give all the entire roster a chance to shine:

1.Make The Draft A Week-Long Event: Let's have the 2010 Draft on all three shows,starting with Raw,continuing with ECW,and concluding on Smackdown!!!

2.Make The Main-Event Important For The Draft Picks:On Raw,have all three champions compete in a triple-threat match with the winner getting 3 picks for the Draft!!!On ECW,have the three best compete in another triple-threat match with the winner getting 2 picks for the Draft!!!And on Smackdown,in the final Main Event,have a 30 Man Over-The-Top Battle Royal,with 10 top stars from each brand,with the winning brand getting 3 picks for the Draft!!!!

3.Get Rid Of The Supplemental Draft Once And For All:It lessens the talents of those picked,and besides,with all the Draft picks on all three shows,you won't need or miss it anyways!!!!

So there's my idea on how to fix the Draft for next year and beyond!!!I think this will not only create new stars,but also give the entire WWE a much-needed shake-up as well!!!!!!!

OK,WITH THE DRAFT COMING UP,I FIGURE I'D MAKE MY OWN PREDICTIONS FOR 2009!HERE THEY ARE,ALONG WITH WHY THEY SHOULD GO:

RAW:

1.THE UNDERTAKER-THE"PHENOM"NEEDS A NEW SETTING AFTER BEING ON SMACKDOWN FOR SEVERAL YEARS!NOT ONLY THAT,BUT THE UNDERTAKER FEUDING WITH JOHN CENA WOULD BE QUITE THE MATCH!

2.EDGE-THE"RATED-R SUPERSTAR"COULD CONTINUE HIS FEUDS WITH JOHN CENA AND C.M.PUNK,AND EVEN ALIGN HIMSELF WITH RANDY ORTON AND CO...FOR HIS OWN MEANS!

3.NATAYLA NEIDHARDT-SINCE SHE'S NOT WRESTLING ON SMACKDOWN,A MOVE TO RAW COULD REVIVE HER CAREER!PLUS,A FEUD WITH THE"GLAMAZON"WOULD BE $$$$$$$!

4.MARYSE-COULD FEUD WITH MELINA OVER BEING THE HOTTEST DIVA ON RAW!

5.FINLAY-HE AND HORNSWAGGLE COULD USE SOME NEW COMPETITION,PLUS COULD GIVE THE IC TITLE A RUN!

6.JESSE AND FEUTUS-A NEW START,SINCE THEY NEARLY LOSE EVERYTIME THEY'RE ON SMACKDOWN!

7.MVP-COULD REALLY TEST HIMSELF AGAINST CENA AND RANDY ORTON,PLUS HE NEEDS A FRESH START!

ECW:

1.WILLIAM REGAL-COULD BE AN EXCELLENT TRAINER TO THE NEW TALENT ON ECW!

2.SANTINO MARELLA-COULD TRY TO PROVE HE BELONGS IN ECW....PROVIDED HE CAN PROVE HE'S HARDCORE!!!!!

3.HURRICANE HELMS-NEEDS TO POLISH HIS WRESTLING SKILLS AFTER BEING AWAY FOR SOME TIME!!!!!

4.JIMMY WANG YANG-MIGHT BE A FAVORITE IN ECW.....IF HE CAN WIN SOME MATCHES!!!!!!!

5.DOLPH ZIGGLER-HAS POTENTIAL,BUT NEEDS TO PROVE HIMSELF IF HE'S EVER GOING TO RAW/SMACKDOWN!

6.CHARLIE HAAS-HAS TO FIND HIS NICHE,AND ECW IS THE PLACE TO DO IT!

SMACKDOWN:

1.SHAWN MICHAELS-THE"HEARTBREAK KID"WOULD FIND NEW CHALLENGES ON SMACKDOWN....AND TRIPLE H!!!!!!!

2.CHRIS JERICHO-A PERFECT JERK-HEEL TO REPLACE THE PREVIOUS JERK,EDGE!PLUS,HE AND VICKIE COULD VERY WELL BE QUITE THE TEAM!!!

3.KATIE LEA-NOT ON RAW ANYMORE,COULD REALLY BE A FORCE IN THE DIVAS TITLE HUNT!

4.CHRISTIAN-COULD HAVE SOME GREAT MATCHES WITH THE SMACKDOWN ROSTER!

5.MICKIE JAMES-HER EXPERIENCE COULD BE USEFUL IN HELPING NEW TALENT ON SMACKDOWN!

6.JILLIAN HALL-A NEW START ON SMACKDOWN IS WHAT SHE NEEDS TO FORGET HER LOSSES ON RAW...THAT,AND SOME SINGING LESSONS!!!!!!!!!

7.CYRME TYME-A FRESH START,AND A RENEWED QUEST FOR THE TAG TITLES,COULD HELP THEIR CAREERS!!!!!

WELL,THAT'S MY 2009 DRAFT PREDICTIONS!I WELCOME ALL COMMENTS(GOOD,BAD,AND OTHERWISE)AS WELL AS YOUR OWN 2009 DRAFT PICKS,AND WE'LL SEE HOW THE DRAFT GOES IN APRIL!WHO KNOWS,MAYBE YOUR PREDICTIONS WILL COME TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
