WWE Draft. Opinions on who should go where...

[MikeRaw]

I know we had a draft predictions thread a while back, but, I dont wanna bump a mont and a half old thread, and also, this isnt a predictions thread. I just thought Id post my ideas for what should happen at the upcoming draft, and I think it might. Also, please, comment on my ideas for the rosters, and feel free to post your own, even if its not as detailed as mine...

Now, theres like 4 or 5 changes to each brand on the draft day, and those arwe the big changes... But keep in mind, theres also the supplementary draft the day after where some other dudes are moved. So heres my plan...

ECW Gains:
From Raw: Hardcore Holly

Raw Gains:
From SD: Batista, Chuck Palumbo, Festus, Jesse, Mark Henry,The Undertaker
From ECW: CM Punk

Smackdown Gains:
From Raw: Carlito, Chris Jericho, JBL, Randy Orton, Shawn Michaels, Trevor Murdoch
From ECW:Elijah Burke, Kofi Kingston

Raw:
Batista
CM Punk
Jeff Hardy
Mr. Kennedy
Randy Orton
Triple H
The Undertaker

Chuck Palumbo
Cody Rhodes
DH Smith
Gregory Helms
Lance Cade
Mark Henry

Now, as you can see, the rosters are much better. ECW is basically the same, except they lose Punk, Burke and Kingston, but make up for it with Big Show, and face it, it doesnt matter because Raw and SD are much more important anyways.

Raw still shows off that its the dominant show, by having a slew of main eventers. It keeps the core of Orton, Triple H, Kennedy, Hardy and Umaga, but then adds Taker and Batista to where they belong, along with Punk to add the starpower.

And smackdown will be the biggest surprise. If this draft ends up like this, Smackdown would go through the roof, as instead of just having Batista/Edge/Taker all the time, theyd get almost an entirley new main event. They keep Edge, and MVP and Hardy, and since they lost Batista and Taker, they recieve Cena, HBK and Mysterios return as a huge boost to the main event.
Also, both Raw and SD would have a great midcard, and both have a mix of veterans and young guys with room to grow.

I am praying it comes close to this, cause these could be great rosters and would keep Raw on top, and freshen the faces, as well as make SD a whole hell of a lot more exciting.

Thoughts on these ideas?
Do you like my rosters?
And post your own if you like.

I would like but wont happen.
Taker, Tista, Edge to go 2 Raw Cena Orton Umaga to go 2 Smacky and for Punk 2 swap with rey and for Koffi kingston to swap with jeff like i say wont happen but i would like to see it. I just wanna see a huge shake up that meaning Main-eventers not just low and mid carders, A total shake up and change of the 2 main rosters with some little changes to ECW. On second thought why not make ECW a little strong 2 even out the 3 brands a bit

ECW Gains:
From Raw: Val Venis
From SD: Big Show, Shannon Moore

Raw Gains:
From SD: Batista, Chuck Palumbo, Miz & Morrison (dropped the belts), Matt Hardy,The Undertaker
From ECW: CM Punk

Smackdown Gains:
From Raw: Carlito, Chris Jericho, JBL, Randy Orton, Shawn Michaels, Lance Cade

Just made a few adjustments to MikeRaw's one, and I prefer this one tbh.

Ya, yours is similar to mine (which is fine) but I noticed you moved Orton to SD... I really want that to happen, I want him on SD, but when I did that, I notced my Raw roster was almost all good guys. So I moved Cena instead. I just hope that they do something similar to the lists that the fans suggest.

 

[Christian]

Chris Jericho to Smackdown!
Umaga to Smackdown!
Matt Hardy to RAW
CM Punk to RAW

Tbh, those are the only 4 that I am almost 100% sure will happen.

BTW you TOTALLY killed the ECW roster. Nobody from Smackdown will go to ECW, and nobody from ECW will go to Smackdown.

Alright, you decided to move (the only major talent) Randy Orton and Chris Jericho from RAW to other brands. But seriously having talent like CM Punk and Batista on RAW won't do any good with them or with RAW itself.

The roster is already stacked with loads of talented superstars who are doing no good and are left behind as mid-card talent and if CM Punk and Batista join in then the same would happen to them they would be left behind as un-recognized mid-card talent. CM Punk really needs to move on to Smackdown rather than Raw, I don't know about Batista... it's all good if someone big enough like Triple H goes to Smackdown to cover up the gain of a major superstar such as Batista... :shifty:

 

[kingovkings]

TBH cant see HHH or HBK moving from Raw but then again its WWE and never say never. If ever HHH or HBK moved to Smackdown would be awesome for that brand but i don't think it will happen Two of WWE biggest stars moving to the b Brand dunno just don't see it happening for some reason. Same as i would like to Cena on smacky ain't gonna happen because he put arses on seats and merchandise fly off shelves. So it will b samo same low and mid carders change with the odd exception of a main event gets moved if we are lucky Taker and or Tista might move in place of Umaga and Y2J if WE are lucky

 

[Christian]

If Jericho comes to Smackdown, then Matt Hardy WILL go to RAW.

 

[Conc3pt]

I see almost 0% chance of Undertaker going to RAW. He's going to be facing Edge in the title match next Sunday which is almost a guaranteed victory for him (getting fired? I think not) and unless WWE plans for both world titles to be on RAW (no way in hell HHH is moving to smackdown), Undertaker to RAW won't happen.

You are 100% correct. I don't know how many times I have to say this and still people don't seem to understand it, but HBK and HHH are NEVER going to SD!. The only way it would happen would be if they switched and made SD! the main show, which won't happen because VKM loves Raw. HBK has never even appeared on SD! prior to this Batista feud and him and HHH are way to close for him to leave Raw. It wouldn't be bad if it happens, but it won't.

RAW: Big Show, Batista, CM Punk, The Undertaker, Edge, MVP and Matt Hardy
Smackdown: Carlito
ECW: DH Smith

You are right that they raid SD!, but they won't decimate it that much. I mean that pretty much takes out every main eventer on SD! including the title holder, because someone will be champ this weekend.

Here's what I'd like to see happen. Edge wins this weekend over Taker solidifying his strangle hold as a ME on SD!. The druids carry off Taker after the match as he is forced to be "fired" from SD!.

At the draft all the selections are made except for the final one which no one knows who it will be. The gong hits and boom we have Taker on Raw. It would be a big surprise and could create some awesome feuds such as Taker-HBK which I've wanted to see for a long time.

Outside of that I'd like to Tista come to Raw and become a heel to set up a Cena-Batista WM 25 feud. Other than that I don't really know what will happen or what should happen.

 

[Soulpower]

Umaga to SD
CM Punk to SD
Shawn Michaels to SD
Rey Mysterio to RAW
Mr.Kennedy to SD
Jamie Noble to ECW
Paul London to ECW
Brian Kendrick to ECW
Natalya Neidhart to RAW
Victoria to RAW

That's all I've got for now.

Thats a good point. Shit, I forgot about that. But I like the WHC better than the WWE title, and it suits Raw more. If HHH wins at ONS, then Taker wont come over, because hed be WHC and HHH wont go to SD, but its a possibility that Orton could beat HHH at ONS, and Taker could come to Raw with the world title, while Orton takes the WWE belt to SD...
