Well, we are now one night removed from the 2009 WWE Draft, and let me tell you, I'm still feeling the after-effects. Here's Rob:
"8 days have been removed from probably one of the greastest Wrestlemanias ever, and it was time to shake things up again with this year's WWE Draft. All the matches except for the main event was for a pick in this year's Draft, so here we go.
"First match out of the gate was to me, a dream match that came true as the Intercontinental Champion, Rey Mysterio from Raw, took on Evan Bourne from ECW.
"Even though Bourne used his high-flying manuevers against the Master of the 619, it was no match for the experience of Mysterio, as Bourne was nailed with the 619 to pick up the win and the first Draft pick for Raw, which was none other than the United States Champion, MVP.
"Big things poppin' on Monday nights and little things stoppin' on Friday nights."
My thoughts: Wow. What a great first pick for RAW-- MVP, the U.S Champion. I can't wait to see some awesome dream matches for the belt on Monday nights now. And the Rey-Bourne match was in my book the most awesome way to kick off the matches.
"Another match for a second draft pick saw Kane from Raw taking on the Brian Kendrick from Smackdown, with Ezekial Jackson in Kendrick's corner. Kane had the height advantage being almost 7 feet tall, and the weight advantage over Kendrick, being at 323 pounds. Even though Kendrick had Big Zeke in his corner, it was no match for Kendrick as Kane picked up the win using his size and strength, earning Raw a second draft pick, that being the Big Show.
"This match should have been Kane vs Ezekial Jackson, because we probably could have seen a different ending."
My thoughts: 100% agreed, Rob. I bet Kane vs. Zeke would have seen a different result, with Kendrick in the corner. But as for the Big Show coming back to RAW, that is another awesome pick for Monday nights.
"In 6-diva Tag Team action, the WWE Women's Champion, Melina teamed up with Kelly Kelly and Mickie James to take on Michelle McCool, Natalya and the WWE Divas Champion, Maryse.
"This match looked to me like the aftershock of the Diva Battle Royal, but it was the Smackdown Divas earning the win, and a first draft pick for Smackdown, that being WWE Women's Champion, Melina. A match between Melina and Michelle McCool is something that I would pay to see."
My thoughts: Well, that is shocking to me, seeing the WWE Women's title coming over to Smackdown. I bet Divas like Michelle McCool, Maria and Gail Kim will be aiming for Melina now on Friday nights.
"2 Draft picks were up for grabs as the World Heavyweight Champion, John Cena took on the ECW Champion, Jack Swagger in a champion vs. champion non-title match, even though Swagger told Cena that once he beats him, he will become the new poster boy for the WWE.
"As great as this match was, Cena came out on top with Swagger tapping out to Cena's STF, giving Raw 2 more draft picks, Matt Hardy and the WWE Champion, Triple H.
"After the match was over however, Cena was attacked from behind by his opponent at Backlash, Edge, but Cena turned things around and chased the Rated R Superstar from the ring.
"What a night it had been for Raw thus far, huh?"
My thoughts: Oh, definently. The WWE title is comin' back to Monday nights, and Triple H will no doubt take his feud with Randy Orton full circle now that he's on the same brand Orton is in now.
"Another draft pick was up for grabs as Santino Marella from Raw took on the Great Khali from Smackdown. This match was from last Friday night on Smackdown when Santino would not allow himself/his twin sister Santina to be on the Khali Kiss Cam. Well, Santino's girlfriend, Beth Phoenix had a talk with Raw General Manager, Vickie Guererro, and the Glamazon told him that if Santino loses, next week, he/his twin sister Santina will be a guest on the Khali Kiss Cam.
"Just like last Friday night, Santino lost to the Punjabi Playboy, and he/his twin sister Santina will be on the Khali Kiss Cam and Smackdown earns its second draft pick in CM Punk."
My thoughts: Oh, poor Santina-- LOL I bet he/she ain't gonna like the breath of the Punjabi Playboy once Khali gets a hold of her. And I think it's pretty cool that Punk is gonna head over to Friday nights, and bringin' the MITB briefcase with him as well.
"Another draft pick was up for grabs as The Miz from ECW took on Kofi Kingston from Raw. The Miz lost the match by DQ due to outside interference from the Miz's partner, John Morrison, earning Raw another draft pick in the Miz himself, ending his partnership with John Morrison, and perhaps ending their show on WWE.com."
My thoughts: I think because of this, Miz is probably gonna make "The Dirt Sheet" his own show, sans Morrison. If not, don't worry, all you Dirt Sheet fans, me and Rob will continue to bring you THIS Dirt Sheet.
"It was time for either ECW or Smackdown to get a draft pick, as Christian from ECW took on Shelton Benjamin. Captain Charisma showed why he earned the name as he picked up the win, earning ECW their first draft pick in Vladimir Kozlov."
My thoughts: Well, alls I got to say is the ECW roster just got more and more vicious, as the Moscow Mauler is bringing a whole new era of violence to Tuesday nights. He made his intentions clear on WWE.com: "I want the ECW title."
"5 superstars from each brand took part in a 15-man Tri-Branded Battle Royal with the winning brand earning 2 draft picks. The final 3 men were the Big Show from Raw, Mark Henry from ECW, and Edge from Smackdown.
"For the second year in a row, Edge wins the Battle Royal earning Smackdown 2 more draft picks in Chris Jericho and Kane."
My thoughts: Well, I hope Jericho doesn't make Smackdown a bad place by his presence, neither does Kane. Well, at least there's a possiblity to see the Brothers of Destruction reunite on Friday nights.
"Already Raw and Smackdown were putting their new draft picks to work as Matt Hardy from Raw took on CM Punk from Smackdown. Matt Hardy won this match by DQ when his brother, Jeff came in and attacked Matt after what happened last Friday night on Smackdown when Jeff lost to Matt in a Stretcher match, and sends Jeff flying to the ring. Raw gets another draft pick in the WWE Divas Champion, Maryse."
My thoughts: It looks to me that the RAW Divas locker room got a whole lot more sexier with Maryse's presence. And I tell you, it would be pretty cool to see Maryse take on Divas such as Mickie James or Candice or Kelly Kelly.
"In the final match in the 2009 WWE Draft, it was Chris Jericho from Smackdown taking on Tommy Dreamer from ECW. Jericho proved that he is a great addition to Smackdown as he won the match over the ECW Original, earning Smackdown another draft pick in the Intercontinental Champion, Rey Mysterio.
Here is who has been drafted so far:
Drafted To Raw:
MVP
Big Show
Matt Hardy
Triple H
The Miz
Maryse
Drafted To Smackdown
Kane
Chris Jericho
Melina
CM Punk
Rey Mysterio
Drafted To ECW:
Vladimir Kozlov
"This draft ain't over, because tomorrow at Noon eastern on WWE.com is the 2009 supplemental draft."
My thoughts: Rey Mysterio is a great addition to Friday nights, and I definently can't wait to see who else gets drafted where in tomorrow's Supplemental Draft. I just hope Vickie Guerrero gets drafted away from RAW, because I can't stand her anymore-- LOL
"In the main event, it was a 2 on 3 Handicap match as Ted Dibiase and Cody Rhodes from the Legacy took on Shane McMahon, Batista and the WWE Champion, Triple H. The Animal, McMahon and the Game each were at odds as to who wants Randy Orton in the worst way possible.
"The Animal wanted Orton for him being out of action for 4 months, Shane wanted Orton for what he did to his dad, and the Game wanted Orton for what he did to his wife, Stephanie McMahon.
"Vickie Guerrero told them whomever scores the pinfall over Rhodes or Dibiase will face Randy Orton next week on Raw and whomever gets pinned, that person will face Orton and the Legacy next week in a 3 on 1 handicap match next week.
"During the match, it was clear that Batista, the Game and Shane McMahon were more concerned with getting a win for themselves than as a team.
"Rhodes and Dibiase did their best to take their opponents strife. And Shane McMahon went as far as to stop the Animal's pin attempt.
"But in the end, it was Triple H who pedigreed Ted Dibiase to get the win and next week on Raw, it will be a Wrestlemania rematch as he will face Randy Orton.
I hope that the WWE makes this match a little better than the match at Wrestlemania."
My thoughts: I hope so, too, because after this match, I was sure we'd see a Triple H-Batista feud boil over again, but that ain't the case, thank goodness, but you never know what can happen.
See you all tomorrow with the ECW Dirt Sheet!:D
