Awesome though sometimes I miss the old way they did the draft by having the gm's come out and make their picks or pick them out like the lottery.

Looking forward to it. Cena's oddly advertised for Smackdown the next night too. So he could end up on Smackdown.

WWE Champion The Miz, John Cena, Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio, Big Show, Alberto Del Rio

Damn, is that the list of WWE's marquee stars these days? That's sad.

Some might say, why send Taker to Raw? I feel he should go out and spend the rest of his career (however much he feels he has left) on the A brand and live show.

I still also like the idea of putting all the Divas on one show and tag teams on the other so both belts get full focus on that one program and they don't have to share spotlights or flood lights in their cases

If they are breaking up Laycool then I could see her and Taker both going to Raw.

No ideas what this draft is going to throw up other than the usual bullshit of swapping over pointless lower card guys who will appear once a month if lucky and drafting back the same guys who were drafted this year.

Would like to see them weaken both the New Nexus & Corre aswell, by drafting 2 guys each way.

Also would love to see Bryan moved over to SD as he needs a new change already. He could feud with Drew, Cody & Wade which could throw up some good stuff.

Bryan to SD would be perfect and kind of needs to happen. Then again we've seen how SD has handled some younger guys and not giving them shit to do, but it is a toss up.

That's weird. Haven't pretty much all the drafts been three hour Raws? I think this is just a normal two hour one isn't it?

They didn't mention if it was 3 hours or not but if it isn't maybe they are gonna go with a different format on how they are doing the draft.

So i'm currently listening to the Wrestling Observer radio show, and they made mention of the fact that the reason the draft is happening is because of Edge's retirement. And Meltzer said there were plans to move Del Rio to Raw in June in the original planned draft with the World Title.

One I'm expecting the most is Sheamus to SmackDown, that would mean either he or Wade would have to drop their titles to a RAW guy.

Would be smart if they brought Wade back to RAW too, he was killing it up until he left for SD.

I'm half expecting Cena or Orton to get drafted to SmackDown too.

Roster is so weak these days.

Hopefully Smackdown gets a major boost in Midcard-Main Event talent as they desperately need it.

I remember watching that Battle Royal last week and knowing that the male roster has 21 active superstars with 12 used predominately (Corre, Show, Kane, Mysterio, Rhodes, Swagger, Kofi, ADR, Christian) kinda gives off a bad sign. The Divas are much worst. So bring in Sheamus, Danielson, Bourne, Yoshi Tatsu (Officially), DH Smith, Alicia Fox, Orton (probably), Ted DiBiase, and Zack Ryder (maybe) to reignite most of these guys and bolster some spots.
