Yeah...I was so happy when Haas returned and WGTT got back together for a while. What they're doing to Haas right now is such a shame.

And yeah Mizorrison is a freak of nature. I don't think anyone expected them to work as amazingly as they do.

So see this could take the tag division from crap to decent. Will never be like it was back when we had in the 90's

I'd like to see:

ECW: Jeff Hardy, R-Truth, Jamie Noble
Raw: Undertaker, MVP, Christian
SD: Jericho, Dolph Ziggler

...and unify the tag belts on the the draft special so that the tag titles are cross-branded.

I don't think that Christian would switch brands so quickly after only being on ECW for 2months. If they draft were later like summer time, June, July I could see him moving but not now. And I wouldn't take Swagger off ECW yet either, he'd be pulled to early, prematurely, like Kingston and Benjamin were. Triple H may go to RAW to add to the Mcmahon/ Legacy angle. But I think it's too early to tell who's going where. I'll wait til after NWO and before mania to say who I think goes. And as what Airfixx said, on the special the draft special, unify the tag belts.

I think they have something planned to bring the draft so early, it's gonna be interesting to find out, it will probably will related to a big storyline

I know other people such as Airfixx I can see above have been mentioning this but the draft this year should be good.

It also proves my theory the other day about Christian being drafted to Smackdown to finish off the Edge and Vikie and Jeff storyline once he has some Mania momentum with title after beating Swagger.

Because just as soon as Christian debuted, they announce the draft.

But why take Christian off of ECW so early? If he does win the title at mania, what's the point of taking him off the show? What's the point of him winning the ECW title when he's not on the ECW brand? If the draft was in like June or something I could see it happening but not now. If he doesn't win the title, I guess it wouldn't matter, but if he does win the title, I'd be dumb.

I started thinking that they put him on ECW to get him over with the new crowd, to build him up, and give ECW a boost. That would all be killed taking him off after only two months. That's just my opinion anyway.

And with others, Swagger and Bourne for example, I wouldn't take them off of ECW yet either. It's too early. There's more that they could do on ECW now than what they can do switching brands and quite possibly getting lost.

He can take the title with him, that's happened about two years in a row now.

They would NEVER move the ECW title to another show. What sense would that make? The WWE and WHC...sure....but not the ECW title.

Last year Kane kept the ECW title and at the next ppv he lost it. Which was dumb. The year before Lashley just won the ECW title and was stripped of it when he got drafted. We don't know how it's going to work, but I think It'd be dumb for Christian to win his 1st title since returning, only to lose it a couple weeks later. He wouldn't get a rematch, he can't go back after the guy that beat him, he can't do nothing but move on. And to what?

Yes it's happened in the past but it was dumb how that went too. It's the ECW title, why be the champ when you're not on that show/brand? That means he's either A. Guaranteed to lose it within 4 weeks or B. Get stripped of the title. I was glad he was back, then disappointed that he was on ECW, but it makes since. There's a new crowd Christian has to entertain now from when he was there in 05. He needs to get over with the new crowd, prove to them what he has and what he can do, he needs to be built up 1st, he can carry ECW now.

It also proves my theory the other day about Christian being drafted to Smackdown to finish off the Edge and Vikie and Jeff storyline once he has some Mania momentum with title after beating Swagger.

That momentum that he would have coming off of that would be gone once he leaves ECW. It's too early for him to leave, too early for them to capitalize on adding Christian to that angle. You want to add Christian to that program, then what? It goes on for 2 or 3months and that's it? They can really make that feud go on for a while, they can make it one of the greatest in history... if played right. Adding Christian to it now wouldn't make it better, he'll be added in prematurely. Matt just got in on it and they're really done nothing with that yet. I don't even think there is no Edge/Jeff anymore. It's all Matt and Jeff now. Edge is busy with Triple H and Big Show. Where would Christian fit into that?

OH Man im gonna get screwed for a second time By the draft. I go to live show 20th and the draft is 13th. Bet my house that Trips goes to Raw and i miss him AGAIN :(
But id like to see Cena or Orton go to SD and Edge or Taker go to Raw. And id like to see y2j go to SD also.

I think that it wont be eventful with maybe the exception of a decent mid-carder someone like MVP or Rhodes maybe being sent down to ECW. Smackdown and Raw will likely trade main eventers and mid carders and ECW will get a few lower card guys and a mid card.

I'd like to see Jericho and Punk on SD! and Morrison to RAW.
Make R-Truth develop a bit in ECW and maybe Mysterio too. I'm tired of the masked one.

Still the bigger question is. How will Vince "kill" himself this year. Will he even be back by then. I say he will and lets see what can happen to Vince at this draft. Maybe a car will run him over.
