What a Supplemental Draft, ladies and gentlemen! I happened to have joined the live blog at the start of the draft at noon today and was I amazed at most of the acquisitions each brand has made! Several more predictions that I made on the Draft Pick game came true. This draft sure shook things to the core! It looked like alot of tag teams were getting seperated! Let's go through some of the picks.
Mr. Kennedy was the first to be drafted and was sent back to Raw! I thought he looked better on Monday Nights and man am I glad to see him back on Raw! Plus we got Shad who was drafted to Smackdown. At first I was thinking the end of Cryme Tyme but found out to my surprise that JTG was later drafted with him! WOOHOO! It's all about the Money, Money, on Friday Nights now baby! YEAH YEAH!
ECW sure got some nice acquisitions. First with Ezekiel Jackson! Former bodyguard of The Brian Kendrick. Now this man really needs a chance to spread his wings and now he has it. A big man like this will shake things up in the Land of Extreme and I'm counting on it. Watch out Vladimir and Mark Henry! Hell you too, Jack. Your ECW Title reign depends on it! The team of Curt and Zack have thus been split as of today as ECW has acquired Zack Ryder! And the possibly Hart Foundation 2.0 has been completed as Natalya was also selected by ECW. Will they form a new stable on Tuesday nights? This would sure push ECW on Sci-Fi in my opinion!
I was also shocked to see that the Unified Tag champions might've been seperated as Primo was selected by Raw early in the draft. I was shocked! Speechless! However Carlito was drafted to Raw near the end and boy was I relieved! Though the most tragic draft pick in my mind was of course when RAW selected Hornswoggle. It's not like last year when they were both drafted to ECW, this time the seperation is absolute. This is awful! Poor Hornswoggle! Another seperation that saddened me was of course Biscuits n' Gravy: Jesse and Festus. As Festus was acquired by Monday Night Raw. How can he be controlled whenever he hears a bell now?!
Also a possible seperation that could've been absolute was of course the Bella twins! Nikki was first drafted to RAW which had me shocked. They did just make up recently right? Well near the end Brie was also drafted to RAW! Woohoo! Identical twins can NEVER be seperated. It's not right! Plus twins like the Bellas are HOT! It's about time they get some Monday Night action!
There were also some picks that returned from wence they first debuted here in World Wrestling Entertainment. Such as John Morrison! He was selected by Smackdown and now he returns to his inaugural starting point. Same goes for Candice Michelle as she, too was taken to Smackdown. Beware, Melina! She's a former Women's Champion as well and you've damn sure got a line waiting for that belt! Charlie Hass was also drafted back to Smackdown. Awaiting is of course Shelton Benjamin! Could they possibly reunite as the WGTT?
Another sweet selection made by Smackdown was none other than Ricky Ortiz! This guy is great and i'm glad he's getting a chance to spread out more in the business. Congratulations on such a pick for Smackdown! Welcome to Friday Nights Ricky. Another shocking pick for Smackdown was none other than DJ Gabriel's dance partner Alicia Fox! Yeah remember that little fling Edge and Alicia had last year? Could it possibly rekindle now that she's on Friday Nights along with him?!
To close out this blog I'd like to state some thoughts of people who should've been drafted and to where.
WILLIAM REGAL to ECW - A brawler from Blackpool England. A real in-ring veteran in the WWE would be great on ECW to give the new blood on this brand someone to really shake 'em up and teach them a thing or too. He would've been great on Tuesday Nights!
MICKIE JAMES to SMACKDOWN - She needs serious competition in the Diva's division and most of it went to Friday Nights! Plus she's a multi-time Women's Champion. She would be a great match for current champion Melina now that she's on Smackdown.
JOHN CENA to SMACKDOWN - Since Friday Nights no longer have a world champion, he would be perfect to return to where he started. His home on Smackdown. Taking the World Title with him. I would love to see him and CM Punk lock up in a title match once he cashes in Money in the Bank. A match of the ages I tell ya! GTS vs. Attitude Adjustment!
UNDERTAKER to RAW - I know Kane was drafted this past Monday Night and people would LOVE to see the Brothers of Destruction again. But quite frankly Undertaker would be great back on RAW because back when he was initially drafted there seven years ago he really shook things up! He made historical moments on this brand. Namely the ladder match between him and Jeff Hardy for the WWE Championship. What a match that was! Along with other historical nights he's made. Plus he would have some serious competition on Monday Nights now as the roster is very well built for RAW.
JEFF HARDY to ECW - I say the extreme enigma would do nicely on ECW for awhile. I'd love to see Tommy Dreamer face off with this guy in a Hardcore Match. They both know what extreme is and I say it's about time they lock up on Tuesday Nights. what a dream match that'd be. Plus a saavy hardcore veteran like him would surely be the man to beat for the new blood that competes in the Land of Extreme.
Well that's all for me! The entire 2009 Draft has come to a close and possibly the biggest draft yet! We now look forward to the debut of WWE Superstars which is TONIGHT at 8p on WGN America! Finlay and Christian face off in the final match for the Championship Chase for Backlash and also a groundbreaking match. Undertaker vs. Matt Hardy! Tune in if you have WGN America and get ready for History to hit Thursday Nights! All brands compete and all wrestlers are eligible to lock up! BE THERE!
