WWE RAW Talkback thread. The RAW/Smackdown! Draft

**GK Punk** · 03-22-2004, 08:01 PM

Anyone else watching it so far?

Peanut · 03-22-2004, 08:04 PM

I am, but what the hell is going on?

*Taloniss* · 03-22-2004, 08:06 PM

Random thoughts:

-12 total picks? Weak, they should have just done a mass trade between Raw/SD
-First ever draft? Uh, what about the when they did the roster split? Gotta love revisionist history.
-Biggest shakeup in history? What about the original split?
-"Thank you for your irrelevent opinion" "You really attract a class audience Eric." - Paul Heymen. Paul owns.
-I bet Heymen gets "fired" from SD! Steph comes back to as SD! Gm, and Paul forms the rebel group "ECW" which will get the saturday time slots.
-Predictions: La Resistance, RVD, Booker to SD! Scotty 2 Hotty, Rikisi, and Bradshaw to Raw.
-They should have had the T-shirts on a table and when you got drafted, you pick up a T-shirt to wear all night.

**GK Punk** · 03-22-2004, 08:14 PM

Those are Good predictions... I personally am Hoping the two champions stay in place. (Benoit for Raw and Guerro for SD!)

I think it's going to be interesting to see what happens with Evolution, I almost don't see them staying together after this.

What part are you lost on, the Draft itself or why they are doing the draft?

If it's why they are doing the Draft, it's because BrockLesnar quit, Goldberg's Contract ended, angle is out with Injury so RAW has more Top card superstars than smackdown! And they are trying to even the odds a little better.

I expect to see the main event card be shaken up a little by the end tonight.

I'm lost on everything. I haven't watched for so long, but god damn...AUSTIN! I didn't even know he was still around. I just might get back into it. Does he still wrestle or is he just hanging around?

*Taloniss* · 03-22-2004, 08:18 PM

-Argh, Austin needs to get drafted to a nice retirement home.
-I'm thinking HHH goes to SD! He wants to fued with Edge (that way they don't have to move Edge) and then he has a whole new set of faces to bury, starting with Eddie.
-What happens to FiFi? Does Dupree get her or Conway/Grenier? Is FiFi in the draft pick? Why do I keep asking so many questions?
-I'm all for a Shelton Benjamin push, but do we need to split up tag teams? Couldn't they stay on the same show and be like, "well, we've done all we can as a tag team, lets try to conquer singles" and maintain a friendship in case a singles push bombs?

Austin kinda hangs around right now, his neck is a little too injured to take full bumps. Feel free to ask any questions for things you may have missed, I'll be glad to try and fill in any questions you may have.

I Wouldn't be too shocked. I just really hate to see Guerro job to HHH so soon >_<

*Taloniss* · 03-22-2004, 08:27 PM

Jindrak was a big pick? Jindrak's getting a push? Ugh. And again, why do we need to split up tag teams? Didn't they learn the first draft that single pushes for tag team members fail 99% of the time?

*Taloniss* · 03-22-2004, 08:30 PM

Little offtopic, but I just saw a commercial for a Guns N Roses greatest hits album! Must...have...album...

*EDIT* Everybody in the crowd chants Cena whenever Eric goes to choose

Yay, Nidia, she's actually been trained to wrestle! More women for the division.

Anyone else notice JR is wearing a blue hankerchief and Tazz has a red one...sign of things to come or coincidence?

lol I know seriously. I kinda like the Bubaray dudley singles push, but it could have been done better.

You are preaching to the choir my friend!! I Heard there is a DVD either coming out, or already out as well.

*Taloniss* · 03-22-2004, 08:35 PM

They didn't say anything about the DVD, but they showed a picture of it, so I guess it comes out with the album. Just checked Amazon.ca, and the CD is listed as out already, so I guess it's out now, or coming this week. Same with the DVD, and the DVD is their music videos.

Cena should go to Raw. His gimmick suits the live atmosphere.

I KNEW IT!!!!! TRIPLE H TO SD!

I totally agree.... Wait wait wait, HHH Is officially back on Smackdown.
Poor Eddie.

*Taloniss* · 03-22-2004, 08:40 PM

Damn, and I'd just read that Eddie was being looked as a long reign since ticket sales went up and WWE thinks he can draw

So much for that.

Maybe HHH just wants back with Steph in storyline...maybe he's changed! He did job to Benoit....nah, forgot who I was talking about.

HAHA, Raw lockerroom sends off HHH with a touching song. Guess they were tired of being buried and held down too.

*ZariusTwo* · 03-22-2004, 08:42 PM

Hunter obviously jumped to SMACKDOWN to be near Stephenie, who is returning probably tonight or on SMACKDOWN this Thursday

Nidia is on RAW, well, THAT was earth-shaterring...

I thought Britain didn't get Raw until the Saturday after it aired?

**GK Punk** · 03-22-2004, 08:45 PM

I'm with you guys, I'm hoping HHH Is just going to be with his Wife and NOT bury Eddie and other SD! Stars. Eddie has so much potential, and he's come such a long way to be where he is.

Wow, I didn't realize you guys got Raw so much later than us. I wonder why that is

*Taloniss* · 03-22-2004, 08:52 PM

EDDIE~! on Raw. And he'll get squashed by HHH already! Didn't take them long.

Well, at least we know that Benoit will still be champ, cuz I don't see them putting the title on Rhyno.
