Part 2: The Draft
WWF New York - (3/23/02)
Jonathan Coachman:
Allright, Ladies & Gentlemen, we are back with the draft, so let's recap the first 10 Rounds, What a SMACKDOWN Roster that Stephanie McMahon has had, King
Jerry Lawler:
Indeed Coach, Stephanie's first 10 picks are great, Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Hardy Boys & Lita, Kurt Angle, Booker T, Kane, Test, Edge, Goldust, Rhyno & Chris Benoit!. Meanwhile on the RAW Side, Eric Bischoff has got Trish Stratus, Chris Jericho, Sabu, The Steiner Brothers, Maven, Viscera, Lance Storm, Hardcore Holly, Mr. Perfect & the nWo!.
Jonathan Coachman:
Now, we have Terri in the SMACKDOWN Room, she is with Stone Cold Steve Austin!.
Terri with her microphone is with Stone Cold Steve Austin in the SMACKDOWN Locker Room.
Terri:
Stone Cold, your thoughts on being the first man drafted to SMACKDOWN!
Stone Cold Steve Austin:
Well as Dominant as I was on Monday Night RAW in the Attitude Era, I wish I could've been drafted to RAW. But you know what, Eric Bischoff, the guy who fired me on the phone via Fedex, I couldn't care less about that guy, So i'm happy that I'm not on the RAW show, cause I'm sure he would've fired me again. And as far as the McMahons go. I don't care about Vince, but i'm glad Stephanie made the right decision to draft Stone Cold to SMACKDOWN because Stone Cold wants to become the World Wrestling Federation Champion for the 7th time, but in order to do that. Stone Cold Steve Austin has to win that tournament and go to Backlash to become the Champion and that's the bottom line because Stone Cold Said So!.
We return to the WWF New York Stage with Eric & Stephanie getting ready to get their picks in.
Stephanie McMahon:
Allright, so we have the 11th pick for SMACKDOWN. The next pick is
(Drumroll Sounds as Stephanie gets the envelope open)
Stephanie McMahon:
My next choice is Raven, Quote the Raven Nevermore!
Jonathan Coachman:
Former WWF Hardcore Champion, Raven joining the Thursday Night Roster, but this could be a huge moment for him and he may have the World Wrestling Federation Championship around his waist.
Jerry Lawler:
As much as I don't like Raven. I gotta say that this is an impressive pick that Stephanie McMahon has, and although he came from that Bingo Hall Dump called ECW. He's still one of the most talented Hardcore Superstars in the WWF. I hope he doesn't invade RAW and take the Hardcore Title away from Maven!.
We see Raven enter the SMACKDOWN Room!
Eric Bischoff:
For our next pick, RAW selects!
(drumroll sounds as Eric picks up the envelope)
Eric Bischoff:
The man with the biggest ass in the World Wrestling Federation, he is a former Intercontinental & Tag Team Champion, he is Rikishi!.
Jerry Lawler:
Well, Coach. Rikishi is going to dance his way to Monday Night RAW!.
Jonathan Coachman:
Indeed he is, Rikishi is the former WWF Intercontinental & Tag Team Champion, but he's never won the big title.
Rikishi is in the RAW Room!
Stephanie McMahon:
Well you know what Eric, I know that Rikishi put his cheeks on my father's face. But Eric, if you get out of line with Rikishi, I just hope he puts his cheeks on your face. But anyway, here's my next pick. My Next Pick is.
(Drumroll sounds as Stephanie opens up the envelope)
Stephanie McMahon:
My next choice for SMACKDOWN is the World's Strongest Man Mark Henry!
Jerry Lawler:
Wow, Mark Henry is going to SMACKDOWN.
Jonathan Coachman:
And Mark Henry, a former olympian and former WWF European Champion may become one of the strongest competitors on Thursday Nights!.
Mark Henry enters the SMACKDOWN Room!.
Eric Bischoff:
Okay for my next pick is?
(Bischoff opens up the envelope as the drumroll opens)
Eric Bischoff:
She won the WWF Hardcore Championship at WrestleMania 18, And the second woman that is joining RAW. Molly Holly!
Jerry Lawler:
Well, we have Trish Stratus and now we have Molly Holly
Jonathan Coachman:
That's right, Molly Holly, formerly known as Mighty Molly has told us that she is no longer joining The Hurricane and that Mighty Molly is nowhere, she's coming back to return to Molly Holly!.
We see Molly Holly enter the RAW Room as she stares down Trish Stratus!
Stephanie McMahon:
For my next pick on SMACKDOWN is?
(Stephanie opens up the envelope with the drum roll sounding once more)
Stephanie McMahon:
She's a former WWF Women's Champion, and the Woman I beat for that title years ago, Jacqueline!.
Jerry Lawler:
Awwh, Jacqueline's going to SMACKDOWN. We needed her on RAW!.
Jonathan Coachman:
Well we've got Lita & Jacqueline both on SMACKDOWN at the same time.
Jacqueline enters the SMACKDOWN Room!.
Eric Bischoff:
For my next pick, RAW chooses?
(Drumroll sounds as Bischoff opens up the envelope)
Eric Bischoff:
The former WWF Intercontinental & European Champion, and former WWF Commissioner, and a Man I know very well from WCW, William Regal!.
Jerry Lawler:
Yes, we got William Regal to join the RAW Roster
Jonathan Coachman:
And I would say a great choice by Eric Bischoff to pick William Regal.
We see William Regal in the RAW Room staring down the Intercontinental Title that RVD has in his shoulder, Regal stares down RVD as there is set to be a rematch near the future.
Eric Bischoff:
Before you make your next pick, Stephanie. I want to announce that on April 1, 2002. There will be an Intercontinental Title Rematch between William Regal & Rob Van Dam!.
Stephanie McMahon:
Well, I think that should be a good match, but anyway here is my next pick.
(Drumroll sounds again as Stephanie opens up the envelope)
Stephanie McMahon:
I choose one half of the APA, Faarooq!.
Jerry Lawler:
Well we may see a breakup of the APA unless Bradshaw joins Faarooq to go to SMACKDOWN!
Jonathan Coachman:
Well, Faarooq, he is a former World Champion himself when he joined WCW.
Faarooq enters the SMACKDOWN Room!
Eric Bischoff:
Well for my next pick, RAW chooses?
Eric opens up the envelope once more.
Eric Bischoff:
He's also a veteran himself, former WWF Hardcore Champion. The Big Bossman!
Jerry Lawler:
Looks like we got Hard Times heading over to Monday Nights!
Jonathan Coachman:
The Big Bossman, who returned last December of 2001 looks to dominate the RAW Roster, and probably go after the Hardcore Championship as well, because as Eric Bischoff said, he is a former Hardcore Champion!.
We see Bossman enter the RAW Room!
Stephanie McMahon:
Well my next pick for SMACKDOWN is!
Stephanie opens up the envelope again
Stephanie McMahon:
Former WWF Tag Team Champion with the legendary Andre The Giant, Haku!.
Jerry Lawler:
Haku, one of the most talented veterans will head over to SMACKDOWN.
Jonathan Coachman:
We have a lot of veterans from the 1980s that have something still to prove against the Young Talent even though they haven't been World Champions at all.
Haku enters the SMACKDOWN Room!
Eric Bischoff:
Well joining RAW is
Eric opens up the envelope once again and has another smile on his face.
Eric Bischoff:
Well Stephanie, unfortunately for you, he may be a ladies man, but you won't be chasing him, because he's going to be soothing the ladies of the RAW Fans. Former Intercontinental Champion & European Champion, The Big Valbowski, Val Venis!
Jerry Lawler:
RAW is going to be more interesting around here and we have the Big Valbowski.
Jonathan Coachman:
we saw Val make his return at the 2002 Royal Rumble, he's been in the WWF for 4 years and it looks like he's continuing to get started.
Val enters the RAW Room.
Stephanie McMahon:
For SMACKDOWN's next pick is!
Stephanie opens up the envelope
Stephanie McMahon:
I choose one half of the most decorated tag team in the WWF. They have been Tag Team Champions all over the world, But I choose one half of them, I choose Bubba Ray Dudley!.
Jerry Lawler:
Well, we may have one Dudley on RAW unless D-Von gets drafted to SMACKDOWN!.
Jonathan Coachman:
But I agree, Bubba Ray Dudley, if D'Von does get drafted to RAW could become one of the greatest singles competitors in SMACKDOWN History, and maybe the WWF Championship could be in his prized possession.
Bubba enters the SMACKDOWN Room as he waits in anxiety hopefully waiting for D-Von to join him.
Eric Bischoff:
Well for my next pick on RAW. I choose
Bischoff opens up the envelope.
Eric Bischoff:
Another legend from ECW. Former ECW Champion, Tommy Dreamer!.
Jerry Lawler:
Ohhh no, Tommy Dreamer, not him. Well Okay, But he is a hardcore legend too, he could be going after the Hardcore Championship.
Jonathan Coachman:
There's a lot of Hardcore Guys that Eric Bischoff has picked, so Maven's gotta be real careful.
We see Tommy Dreamer enter the RAW Room and stares down his ECW Rival, Sabu
Stephanie McMahon:
My next pick for SMACKDOWN, I choose
Stephanie opens up the envelope
Stephanie McMahon:
former ECW Star, who will make her debut in the WWF on SMACKDOWN. Dawn Marie!
Jerry Lawler:
Dawn Marie, I've heard a lot of things about her. She was formerly from ECW and now she's going to SMACKDOWN. I thought she was coming to RAW!.
Jonathan Coachman:
Well King, you had a missed opportunity bringing her to RAW. But let's see how Dawn Marie does on the SMACKDOWN Roster!.
Dawn Marie enters the SMACKDOWN Room as she enters in all paparazzi attire like she's at a "coming out" party!.
Eric Bischoff:
Well my next choice for RAW is!
Bischoff opens up the envelope and has a smile on his face.
Eric Bischoff:
Ladies and Gentlemen, he is Buff and he is the Stuff, Buff Bagwell!.
Jonathan Coachman:
Buff Bagwell, a former WCW Competitor has entered Monday Nights, hopefully he will have a resurgence of his career.
Jerry Lawler:
I've seen him wrestle in WCW. This guy is probably one of the most underrated stars ever.
We see Buff Bagwell, but wait a minute, he's not going in the RAW Room. He's live at WWF New York with a Microphone in hand to a standing ovation
Buff Bagwell:
So what, were you expecting me to join that RAW Room?, Well you know what, I have things to say and get off my chest, So WWF. As you know last year, WCW was sold by the WWF. Vince McMahon sold WCW and he brought in the WCW Talent to see if we could shine, so here I am, July 2. 2001, They announced to me that I was going to be in the main event to kick off the inaugural WCW Invasion, they told me I was going to face Booker T for the WCW Championship, After WCW was out of business, I was hired by the WWF. I was going to get a fair shot and get even square, no promises and no guarantees, this was the night Shane McMahon, your brother (points to Stephanie), showed up in Panama City, I was with the top talent and we see the WWF Trucks that were there, There was a meeting in the room, Shane and I were in that meeting and who was there, That was me, Shane says "We are hiring and firing some guys, hiring and firing some referees and that's it", So the first show came out, me and Lex Luger were going to be the Tag Team Champions, Vince was in satellite in Cleveland and it was live, And from there, we were depressed, my contract is up in 2 months, I'm in a real bad position, So what, and people are like what are we going to do. So I was making 750 at the time for a 3-year deal, I rented cars and hotels which is a ton of money and Vince, you came in and you gave me 6 month previous and flew me in, me and my wife, Limousine into Stamford, CT. And you bought the company, I had no stroke, leverage or creative control, and you gave me 175$, so I was forced to sell everything, I settled at 225 and 250$, and I had a $5,000 dollar house payment, a big mansion, and Vince, you promised me a fair shake, everybody was going to be nice to everyone, you hired 12 guys including me, 9 of them weren't stars like Shawn Stasiak, Sean O, Haire, Mark Jindrak, Hugh Morrus. But none of them were starpower like Scott Steiner, Goldberg, Sting. So the 3 top guys you hired were me, Diamond Dallas Page & Booker T!. And you know that, Vince!. You made us go to school and learned the 20 foot rings and the 18 foot rings thinking I was just going to play along, And the saddest part is, you knew Vince that Stone Cold Steve Austin was not going to play hardball with me, Stone Cold and I was cool back in the day, but we were now competition. And Vince, I understood your position, I came up to you and said "You wouldn't have to pay me for 2 months, and I wanted to sit at home, and I wanted $80,000. I'm in the prime of all of it, And you fired me, And you fired me over one bad match, you and Jim Ross fired me over one bad match against Booker T for the WCW Title. Jim Ross, your fat BBQ Hamburger loving ass caused me to get fired, and nobody was going to believe me, I called you out on it and you told me "It was a bad job firing people". So J.R., you have created a monster, you said that you never went out of your own way to do that. There's a round table meeting and JR. You had the audacity to blast me, Why did you rip me out in the roundtable?. My Dad told me not to watch it, Michael Hayes and Mike Graham and you are cock suckers (as it is censored out in camera). Look at yourself, JR. You screwed me, You tried to bury me, You're a fucking liar, JR. You started this fucking rumour that ruined my career, So your fat ass stroke face with one eyeball feels good about it, you cock sucking fat piece of shit. But now, Vince McMahon. You brought me back, and you better not screw me over, not even you, Jim Ross. You ruined my career once about talking about my mother, and you better not ruin my career again, because if you do. I will take the whole WWF down with me.
Buff then leaves the New York Stage with some of the crowd agreeing with his outburst, but some of the crowd are disagreeing.
Stephanie McMahon:
I really don't know what to say about that, but in that case it's time to move on for SMACKDOWN's next pick, I choose?.
(Stephanie opens up the envelope)
Stephanie McMahon:
One half of the Albert & Scotty 2 Hotty Tag Team, from SMACKDOWN. Former WWF Intercontinental Champion, Albert!.
Jerry Lawler:
Wow, Stephanie has gone with the big guns, but can you believe what Buff Bagwell said about Vince McMahon & Jim Ross?.
Jonathan Coachman:
I don't want to think about it, but anyway moving on. Albert, a very big talented competitor, and you are right King, Stephanie has certainly proved to have the big guns by her side, I mean she's got Kane & Test and now Albert!
Albert enters the SMACKDOWN Room!.
Eric Bischoff:
For RAW. My Next Pick is!
Eric opens up the envelope and he reads it and laughs.
Eric Bischoff:
Well Unfortunately, the APA is no more because Bradshaw is my next pick!.
Jerry Lawler:
Well ladies and gentlemen, It is officially the end of an era, Bradshaw is now moving to Monday Night RAW.
Jonathan Coachman:
Bradshaw & Faarooq, a decorated tag team are no longer going to be together as they will be taking separate singles paths.
Jerry Lawler:
But Bradshaw's a very intelligent strong athlete and maybe he could go for the World Heavyweight Championship!.
We see a clip of "earlier tonight" with Bradshaw & Faarooq hugging each other one last time before Faarooq headed over to the SMACKDOWN Room, then we see a clip of Bradshaw entering the RAW Room!.
Stephanie McMahon:
My next choice for SMACKDOWN. I Select!
Stephanie opens up the Envelope.
Stephanie McMahon:
Also a former WWF Women's Champion. Ivory!
Jerry Lawler:
Ohhh no, we lost another diva, I wanted Ivory on RAW!.
Jonathan Coachman:
Well King, you've gotta respect Stephanie picking Ivory on RAW. There are 4 SMACKDOWN Superstars, Ivory, Lita, Dawn Marie & Jacqueline.
Jerry Lawler:
And let's not forget, the Women's Champion has not been drafted. So we're going to see if we have the Women's Title on RAW or if it will go to SMACKDOWN cause remember we are guaranteed to have a Women's Champion on RAW!
Ivory enters the SMACKDOWN Room!.
Eric Bischoff:
The RAW brand chooses!
Bischoff opens up the envelope
Eric Bischoff:
Former WWF European Champion, former WWF Hardcore Champion and let's just say has a current relationship with Mop, Perry Saturn!.
Jerry Lawler:
In my time away from WWF. Coach, I saw Perry Saturn have a relationship with Mop, why did he have to dump Terri for Moppy?.
Jonathan Coachman:
Well King, Relationship or not. Perry Saturn is a seasoned veteran in the Wrestling Industry!.
Perry Saturn enters the RAW Room!
Stephanie McMahon:
Well for my next pick, SMACKDOWN selects!
Stephanie opens up the envelope.
Stephanie McMahon:
A tag team formerly from WCW and they will dominate the entire SMACKDOWN Tag Team Division, ladies and gentlemen, Kronik!
Jerry Lawler:
Ohhh man, Stephanie has definitely brought up a big tag team in the force of Kronik!
Jonathan Coachman:
They were last here in the WWF in Unforgiven 2001, but people might remember them as Crush & Adam Bomb back in the old days.
Jerry Lawler:
That's right, before they were Kronik, Bryan Adams was known as Crush and Brian Clarke was known as Adam Bomb, and they are probably going to cause destruction on SMACKDOWN!.
We see Kronik enter the SMACKDOWN Room!.
Eric Bischoff:
My next RAW pick goes to.
Bischoff opens up the envelope.
Eric Bischoff:
A former WCW talent that I know very well, Mark Jindrak!.
Jerry Lawler:
That's a great pick from Eric Bischoff. Mark Jindrak will probably be one of the best names on Monday Night RAW!.
Jonathan Coachman:
And if you don't know what Jerry Lawler is saying, he's been a part of WCW and is a talented competitor.
We see Mark Jindrak enter the RAW Room!.
Stephanie McMahon:
For SMACKDOWN. I Choose!
Stephanie opens up the envelope again.
Stephanie McMahon:
He's a former Light Heavyweight & Cruiserweight Champion, Billy Kidman!.
Jerry Lawler:
What a good choice for Stephanie, picking up one of the greatest high flying athletes possibly in WCW History!.
Jonathan Coachman:
You are not lying King, Billy Kidman who was once a WCW Competitor will fly high on the SMACKDOWN Roster!.
We see Billy Kidman enter the SMACKDOWN Room!
Eric Bischoff:
Well Steph, if either a Cruiserweight joins your show, let's just say i am going to take the Cruiserweight Championship to RAW if I choose Tajiri!. But for my next pick is.
Bischoff opens up the envelope
Eric Bischoff:
He is a Tough Enough Scout & Trainer, he's a former Tag Team Champion, European Champion & Hardcore Champion, Al Snow!.
Jerry Lawler:
Well I'll have to be dealing with Al Snow on RAW.
Jonathan Coachman:
But again King, a good pick by Eric Bischoff choosing The Tough Enough Teacher, Al Snow.
Al Snow enters the RAW Room!
Stephanie McMahon:
For your sake, Eric. I hope we do get the Cruiserweight Championship, but the next pick for SMACKDOWN is
Stephanie McMahon opens up the envelope
Stephanie McMahon:
Chavo Guerrero!
Jerry Lawler:
Chavo Guerrero, the nephew of Latino Heat Eddie Guerrero who by the way is in the draft lottery too!.
Jonathan Coachman:
I gotta agree with Stephanie, if the Cruiserweight Title heads over to SMACKDOWN. Then hopefully we may see Chavo Guerrero be a strong contender for that Championship!.
Chavo enters the SMACKDOWN Side!
Eric Bischoff:
For RAW's my next pick, I choose
Eric opens the RAW Envelope again
Eric Bischoff:
Sean O. Haire!
Jerry Lawler:
Well here's another former WCW Superstar that is headed up to Monday Nights.
Jonathan Coachman:
Sean O' Haire, who was a part of the Invasion last year, and was a former WCW Tag Team Champion with Chuck Palumbo, but now gets to go on his own as a part of the RAW Brand.
Sean O' Haire enters the RAW Room!
Stephanie McMahon:
Well for my next pick for SMACKDOWN is!
Stephanie opens up the envelope
Stephanie McMahon:
A Man who will return to the WWF soon and when he does it will be on this brand, SMACKDOWN!., He is a former Intercontinental, Tag Team, European & Hardcore Champion and the man that had one of the greatest Summerslam Matches against Bret Hart in 1992, Davey Boy Smith, The British Bulldog!.
Jerry Lawler:
The British Bulldog is set to return to SMACKDOWN. I would've loved to see him on RAW. But Stephanie is not messing around, her picks have been solid.
Jonathan Coachman:
I have to agree with you King, Davey Boy Smith, a former competitor in the WWF. And let's not forget his first WrestleMania was when he & The Dynamite Kid won the WWF Tag Team Titles in 1986 sixteen years ago.
Jerry Lawler:
With the British Bulldog on SMACKDOWN. Hopefully he can become the World Wrestling Federation Champion, because he's tried countless times to win the title, but he hasn't done it.
Eric Bischoff:
Well for this next pick, RAW chooses
Eric opens up the envelope and smiles
Eric Bischoff:
Well, it looks like we will have the WWF Women's Championship on our show after all, because ladies and gentlemen, the WWF Women's Champion and the first ever WWF RAW Women's Champion, I give you Jazz!.
Jerry Lawler:
Yes, the WWF Women's Championship, well the WWF RAW Women's Championship is heading to Monday Nights!.
Jonathan Coachman:
And Trish Stratus and Molly Holly are the two ladies in that roster, so one of those two could go after that Championship!
We see Jazz enter the Podium
Eric Bischoff:
Jazz, it is with great honor that I present you with the WWF RAW Women's Championship.
Bischoff opens up a present and it is revealed to be the
Note: I know there's no image, but let's pretend this Image is the RAW WWF Women's Championship cause honestly in the draft lottery, there have should have been 2 WWF Women's Champions on the show, one for RAW and one for SMACKDOWN!
Jazz looks at the New Women's Belt and takes it.
Jazz:
Mr. Bischoff, I thank you for this opportunity and this is a message to all the RAW Women, especially you Trish Stratus & Lita, You cannot beat me for this title, Trish. I proved to you that I could beat you at WrestleMania, Lita. You're now on SMACKDOWN because it's pretty clear that you are clearly afraid of me. I will prove to everyone else that I run the face of the Women's Division on Monday Night RAW!.
Jazz leaves the stage and Stephanie gets down to business.
Stephanie McMahon:
My next pick for SMACKDOWN is.
Stephanie opens up the envelope
Stephanie McMahon:
The Former Intercontinental & European Champion, D-Lo Brown!.
Jerry Lawler:
Stephanie is not kidding, I know i'm the only one that wanted D-Lo to RAW. But this is impressive by Stephanie.
Jonathan Coachman:
We know D-Lo is a legend in this business and he's still got a long ways to prove if he wants to be the best of the WWF.
D-Lo Brown enters the SMACKDOWN Room and high fives it out with Mark Henry, his former Tag Team Partner!.
Eric Bischoff:
My next pick for RAW is.
(drumroll opens up as Bischoff opens up the envelope once again)
Eric Bischoff:
Another former WCW Talent, Shawn Stasiak!.
Jerry Lawler:
Shawn Stasiak used to be a former WWF Superstar back in 1999, and as everyone remembers, his father Stan Stasiak was the former World Wrestling Federation Champion, hopefully Shawn can follow in his father's footsteps and maybe become the World Heavyweight Champion!.
Jonathan Coachman:
But he needs to focus on the little things and stop hurting himself and stop running into walls so much.
We see Shawn enter the RAW Room all smiles.
Stephanie McMahon:
For SMACKDOWN's next pick is!
The Drumroll opens up again as Stephanie opens up the envelope.
Stephanie McMahon:
Last week, this man made his debut and destroyed everyone in the Hardcore Division and then last night destroyed The Hurricane & Molly Holly, ladies and gentlemen, managed by Paul Heyman, Brock Lesnar!.
Jerry Lawler:
Wow, not only 5 days later and Brock Lesnar is drafted to the SMACKDOWN Brand. I can't say I'm not sad about it, but I'm happy without Paul Heyman around on RAW because I know JR would kick the hell out of him like he did the night after Survivor Series!.
Jonathan Coachman:
Brock Lesnar, a new prodigy has already made waves here in the WWF. He not only destroyed Maven, Al Snow, Spike Dudley on RAW. But The Hurricane & Molly Holly on SMACKDOWN.
Brock enters the SMACKDOWN Room as everybody stares this man down.
Jerry Lawler:
Well like we said earlier, Stephanie McMahon has picked some big names from SMACKDOWN like Stone Cold Steve Austin, Kane, Edge, Booker T, Test, Kurt Angle and now this man Brock Lesnar. Who else can Stephanie get?.
Eric Bischoff:
For my next pick, RAW chooses
Bischoff opens up the envelope
Eric Bischoff:
Ladies and Gentlemen, RAW is about to get all aboard on the Ho-Train, The Godfather!.
Jerry Lawler:
Yahoo, The Godfather, I knew he would come to RAW!.
Jonathan Coachman:
Yes, the Ho Train is going to be happy because The Godfather is coming to Monday Nights!.
We see The Godfather enter the RAW Room with his ladies and also stares down Maven telling him that he was coming for the Hardcore Title!.
Stephanie McMahon:
SMACKDOWN chooses
Stephanie opens up the envelope once again
Stephanie McMahon:
Eric, you might as well stand back because A Hurricane Will be Coming Through SMACKDOWN. The Hurricane!.
Jerry Lawler:
The Hurricane, I may like super hero movies including Spiderman that comes out on May 3, 2002. But I'm not a big Hurricane fan. He pretends to be a super hero and all. I'm glad we're not going to have him on RAW.
Jonathan Coachman:
And I think Molly Holly can breathe a sign of relief, because The Hurricane can bring SMACKDOWN to new heights, hopefully if the Cruiserweight Championship is on SMACKDOWN. He like Chavo Guerrero & Billy Kidman can become a huge contender.
The Hurricane enters the SMACKDOWN Room!
Eric Bischoff:
Allright, for my next pick I choose.
Eric opens up the envelope and reveals
Eric Bischoff:
Also formerly from ECW. Jerry Lynn!.
Jerry Lawler:
Jerry Lynn made his debut with the WWF last year, and even though like I said i'm still not an ECW Fan, I was impressed with what he could do in the Light Heavyweight Division, but now let's see how he could fare well on RAW!.
Jonathan Coachman:
No nonsense attitude that Jerry Lynn brings to the table, the guy is all business in the ring!.
We see Lynn enter the RAW Room!.
Stephanie McMahon:
For my next pick, SMACKDOWN selects
The Drumroll sounds again as Stephanie opens up the envelope
Stephanie McMahon:
The Phenom of the WWE, A man who's been here for 12 years, he is a former WWE Champion, former Hardcore Champion, a man that has been undefeated at WrestleMania, 10-0. The Undertaker!.
Jerry Lawler:
This can't be right, The Undertaker is going to SMACKDOWN?. I Wanted The Phenom on RAW!
Jonathan Coachman:
Well King, The Undertaker and his new aggressive attitude could be what SMACKDOWN needs to Stephanie McMahon's brand, and who knows maybe he could win the WWF Championship!.
We see Undertaker with his leather coat and bandana enter the SMACKDOWN Room as he stares down Stone Cold Steve Austin talking trash saying "SMACKDOWN is my yard now son"
Eric Bischoff:
For my next pick, RAW chooses
Drumroll opens as Eric reveals it to be
Eric Bischoff:
Former Intercontinental Champion and one half of the Tag Team, E&C. Christian!.
Jerry Lawler:
Yes, We get Christian here on RAW.
Jonathan Coachman:
Christian can finally break away and have that singles push he always wanted, and hopefully a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship.
Jerry Lawler:
Yeah, but he's gotta stop throwing tantrums like a baby.
Christian comes in the RAW Room excited that Edge is not in the same show with him.
Stephanie gets ready to open her envelope and announces
Stephanie McMahon:
Eric, I know you wanted this tag team, but you're not going to like what I tell you, ladies and gentlemen, the next tag team to join the SMACKDOWN Roster is the legendary Hawk & Animal, The Legion of Doom!.
Jerry Lawler:
Ohhh boy, you wanna talk about big, How bout The Returning Legion of Doom!
Jonathan Coachman:
The Legion of Doom have not been seen in the WWF for 3 years, but they are back on SMACKDOWN and hopefully if the Tag Team Championship that Billy & Chuck are holding right now and if they do drafted to SMACKDOWN. I would have my eyes open on that now!.
The Legion of Doom enter the SMACKDOWN Locker Room as they get into a staredown with The Hardy Boys & Bubba Ray Dudley
Eric Bischoff: (After revealing the envelope)
Well Stephanie, I know you wanted this guy too, he is a cruiserweight, but it just so happens that he's a talented competitor, so Ladies and Gentlemen, the next superstar to join the RAW brand is Chris Candido!.
Jerry Lawler:
Here's another person that we have not seen in a few years in the World Wrestling Federation, Chris Candido!.
Jonathan Coachman:
Candido has been wrestling all over the world since he left the WWF. But he's got a second chance to make things right.
We see Candido enter the RAW Room!.
Stephanie McMahon: (after seeing the envelope)
SMACKDOWN's next selection in the draft is Scotty 2 Hotty!.
Jerry Lawler:
Scotty 2 Hotty?, I really wanted to see the worm on RAW!.
Jonathan Coachman:
Well the fans are not kinda happy to see a reunion between Scotty & Rikishi, but Scotty's partner Albert is on SMACKDOWN. So we are seeing the tag teams heat up on SMACKDOWN.
We see Scotty 2 Hotty in the SMACKDOWN Room high five Albert as they are once again reunited!
Eric Bischoff: (looking at his next envelope laughing)
Well Unfortunately, there's not going to be a Too Cool Reunion on SMACKDOWN after all, because joining RAW is Grandmaster Sexay!.
Jerry Lawler:
Well we may not have gotten the worm on RAW. But we've got Grandmaster Sexay and besides he is pals with Rikishi.
Jonathan Coachman:
Grandmaster Sexay, the guy that likes to dance, maybe he can dance his way to a singles title.
We see Grandmaster Sexay enter the RAW Room!
Jonathan Coachman:
Well i'm being told we have new WWE Announcer, Mark Lloyd as he is interviewing The Undertaker.
Mark Lloyd is with The Undertaker outside of the SMACKDOWN Room!.
Mark Lloyd:
Undertaker, how do you feel about being on SMACKDOWN.
Undertaker:
You know it really doesn't matter with me where I ended up, whether it'd be on RAW. Whether it'd be on SMACKDOWN. It didn't matter, the fact is I am on SMACKDOWN and I plan to be in the WWF Championship Tournament, And I plan on winning the whole damn thing, And I'm going to show everyone why SMACKDOWN is my yard and I'm the big dog that runs it, whether it's Stone Cold Steve Austin, Kurt Angle, Edge or hell even my brother Kane. They are going to know for damn sure, now if you don't have any questions for me, then I suggest you get the hell out of here and leave!
We go back to the WWF New York Podium as Stephanie Is about to make her next pick as she already has read the envelope.
Stephanie McMahon:
SMACKDOWN chooses the Inaugural Light Heavyweight Champion, Taka Michinoku!.
Jerry Lawler:
Now that is a big pick, but Steph. Don't get a hold of yourself, we've got some also talented cruiserweights that are deserving to be on RAW and hopefully RAW will have that Cruiserweight Championship!.
Jonathan Coachman:
Stephanie's doing what is right and she is picking out some big legendary names.
Taka Michinoku enters the SMACKDOWN Room!.
Eric Bischoff: (after looking up at the envelope)
The RAW brand has picked a tag team, the tag team of Big Vito & Reno.
Jerry Lawler:
I don't know a lot about Big Vito & Reno, but they could be a dangerous tag team.
Jonathan Coachman:
Well they were a part of the WCW Roster, so everyone in the RAW Locker Room should look out!.
Vito & Reno enter the RAW Locker Room!
Stephanie McMahon: (looks at her envelope)
Before I choose this next woman, I just wanna say, that at Backlash, the 4 ladies that have been chosen on SMACKDOWN will compete in a Fatal 4-Way Match to declare the WWF SMACKDOWN Women's Champion, But my next pick is coming back to the WWF Soon, she is Sable!.
Jerry Lawler:
Stephanie McMahon has also taken another lady, this is not right Coach. I know Sable's coming back to the WWF. But she could've come back to RAW with us.
Jonathan Coachman:
Stephanie is making sure that the Women's Division on SMACKDOWN earn it's stripes.
Eric Bischoff: (After looking up at his envelope)
Well it looks like we will be dealing with more ECW. Because my next pick is coming to the WWF soon, The Sandman!.
Jerry Lawler:
And now we have to deal with this beer drinking swelling guy, i thought Stone Cold Steve Austin was the worst beer drinker, but this guy, The Sandman, he's even worser!.
We see Sandman enter the RAW Room!
Stephanie McMahon: (after looking up at the envelope)
Well Eric, I think looking the way that you're short on some Tag Teams, you ain't getting the WWF Tag Team Championship, because ladies and gentlemen, joining SMACKDOWN is the WWF Tag Team Champions, and the new WWF SMACKDOWN Tag Team Champions, (Stephanie carries a present) along with their manager Rico, please welcome Billy & Chuck!.
We see Billy & Chuck come to the New York Stage with Rico!.
Stephanie McMahon:
Billy, Chuck. it is with an honor that you have been officially awarded with the SMACKDOWN Tag Team Championship.
Billy & Chuck look at it and hug each other with Rico laughing in joy!.
Billy Gunn:
Eric, i got 2 words for you, (The fans start a "Suck It" but then he says) Sorry!
Billy & Chuck leave the stage
Eric Bischoff:
Well, Billy & Chuck, I'll have you guys know that you may be the SMACKDOWN Tag Team Champions, But I am going to make my own RAW Tag Team Championship.
Eric opens the next envelope.
Eric Bischoff:
But anyway, the next superstar that will be joining the RAW Brand is Chris Kanyon!.
Jerry Lawler:
Chris Kanyon, When I was out last year, I was watching the Alliance Era and I couldn't stand Chris Kanyon, but now he's on RAW and I have to stand that clown again.
Jonathan Coachman:
Sorry, King!.
We see Chris Kanyon enter the RAW Room!.
Stephanie McMahon: (After opening up the next envelope)
The next person to join SMACKDOWN will be joining the WWF as well and when he does it will be on SMACKDOWN. Jamie Noble!.
Jonathan Coachman:
We may not know a lot about Jamie Noble, but we do know he was a part of the WCW Roster!
Jerry Lawler:
Indeed Coach, and I believe he's got the tools and talent to take SMACKDOWN by force!.
Jamie Noble enters the SMACKDOWN Room!.
Eric Bischoff: (looking at the envelope and smiles)
Well Steph, for this next pick, I choose the 16-time World Heavyweight Champion, and a man that proved that even in his 50s. That he still has it in the ring, The Nature Boy Ric Flair! WOOOOOOOOOO!.
Jerry Lawler:
Yes, The Nature Boy is coming to Monday Night RAW. WOOOOOOOO!
Jonathan Coachman:
And that could mean one more World Heavyweight Title reign on that show as well.
Jerry Lawler:
Hopefully, The Nature Boy proved that this year that he still has it, he beat Vince McMahon at the Royal Rumble, but lost to The Undertaker at WrestleMania, but despite that loss, he proved that he still got it!.
Ric Flair enters the RAW Room!.
Stephanie McMahon: (looks at her next envelope pick)
From SMACKDOWN. I Choose Bull Buchanan!.
Jerry Lawler:
Well not a popular pick, but Bull Buchanan. A man we haven't seen in a while has joined the SMACKDOWN Roster!.
Jonathan Coachman:
He debuted here in the WWF in 1997 as a member of the Truth Commission, but he could be causing havoc here on Thursday Nights.
We see Bull enter the SMACKDOWN Room!.
Eric Bischoff: (looking at his next envelope pick)
I choose another Woman from Monday Night RAW. And she is a part of the Developmental Training Camp, but she will be joining RAW. Victoria!.
Jerry Lawler:
I remember this woman very well, she was a part of The Godfather's Ho Train. And she also danced with Rikishi & Too Cool!.
Jonathan Coachman:
Victoria looks like she's been doing well in the ring, hopefully she could get a chance at that Women's Championship!.
We see Victoria in the RAW Room as she engages in a staredown with Trish?.
Stephanie McMahon: (opens up the envelope)
My next pick for SMACKDOWN is the Tough Enough 1 Female Winner, Nidia
Jerry Lawler:
Well unfortunately, we lost Nidia from RAW.
Jonathan Coachman:
Nidia hasn't pretty much shined, but hopefully a SMACKDOWN Women's Championship could be in her future if she challenges the winner of that four way match.
Nidia enters the SMACKDOWN Room and shockingly enough kisses Jamie Noble as Booker T is on camera saying "Tell Me I Did Not Just See That"
Jerry Lawler:
Wow, it looks like Nidia & Jamie Noble are playing tonsil hockey, I wonder what that relationship is all about?.
Eric Bischoff: (looks at his envelope and laughs)
I have watched this next pick call himself the Houdini of Hardcore and I have seen his Hardcore Antics, and I'm glad to have chosen this guy, hell, I consider him to be the greatest Hardcore Champion of all time, Crash Holly!.
Jerry Lawler:
What, Crash Holly?. Well that means all 3 Holly Cousins are reunited.
Jonathan Coachman:
I would think so. Crash Holly, a former WWF Hardcore Champion, it seems like Eric Bischoff has drafted the entire RAW Hardcore Division.
Crash Holly enters the RAW Room!.
Stephanie McMahon: (looks at her next pick)
For SMACKDOWN's Next Pick, Also another Dudley, Spike Dudley!.
Jerry Lawler:
Well. I can't say that i'm happy that Spike Dudley isn't on RAW. But one half of his brothers is there, let's hope we pick D-Von, and Bubba & Spike can team up!.
Jonathan Coachman:
Or maybe Spike can go out and become a singles star and have a chance at the Cruiserweight Championship if Stephanie is going to choose it.
We see Spike enter the SMACKDOWN Room!.
Eric Bischoff: (looks at his next pick and smiles)
For RAW. I choose another woman that is joining the RAW Roster, She's got legs and she definitely knows how to use it, Stacy Keibler!.
Jerry Lawler:
Yes, we got Stacy Keibler on Monday Nights, Baby!.
Jonathan Coachman:
And King, I'm happy that you're excited about this pick more than I am, because RAW is now filled with 5 women now.
We see Stacy enter the RAW Room!.
Stephanie McMahon: (after looking at her pick)
Well Eric, you've had too many ECW Talent, it's time that I take some too, SMACKDOWN chooses The Blue Meanie!.
Jerry Lawler:
The Blue Meanie, I haven't seen this guy in a long time. I know he was in the WWF back in 1999!.
Jonathan Coachman:
The Blue Meanie, a former ECW Legend looks to hopefully take SMACKDOWN by storm.
Jerry Lawler:
Now i know why SMACKDOWN is the color Blue because The Blue Meanie is really Blue!.
The Blue Meanie enters the SMACKDOWN Room!
Eric Bischoff: (looks at his next pick with a deviant smile)
My next pick, I know this man very well. He's a former WWF, WCW & ECW Superstar, and he told me that he's ready to come back to the WWF. So the next person to represent RAW is Bam Bam Bigelow!.
Jerry Lawler:
Wow, we got a big gun on our roster, Bam Bam Bigelow!.
Jonathan Coachman:
Bam Bam Bigelow has been in the WWF since 1987, he's done it all and seen it all and who can ever forget that he was part of the Inaugural Survivor Series Main Event!.

Jonathan Coachman:
Well, D-Von Dudley has joined SMACKDOWN and The Dudley Boys Fans can rejoice because Bubba & D-Von are not going to split up,
D-Von enters the SMACKDOWN Room and hugs his brother Bubba & Spike.
Eric Bischoff: (looks at his next pick)
Well if you want the Dudley Boys to stay together, how bout I pick another legendary tag team that had won the WWF Tag Team Titles in 1991 and also were in WCW as well. Jerry Sags & Brian Knobbs, The Nasty Boys!.
Jerry Lawler:
This is what we needed, the Tag Team of Jerry Sags & Brian Knobbs, The Nasty Boys!
Jonathan Coachman:
And as Eric Bischoff said it best, they are a legendary Tag Team!.
The Nasty Boys enter the RAW Room!
Stephanie McMahon: (looks at her next pick)
SMACKDOWN's next selection is Steven Richards!
Jerry Lawler:
Well I'm glad we don't have to deal with Steven Richards on RAW.
Jonathan Coachman:
Steven Richards is indeed a talented competitor, but let's just hope he doesn't invade RAW and take the Hardcore Championship because after all he's told everyone that he is Hardcore to say the least!.
Steven enters the SMACKDOWN Room!
Eric Bischoff: (looks at his next pick)
So RAW's next pick is Terri!
Jerry Lawler:
Yes, More Puppies
Jonathan Coachman:
So the RAW Ladies are complete, hopefully we get one more. But Terri is the next person to join the RAW.
Jerry Lawler:
There's one woman that is yet to be drafted and that's Torrie Wilson, if she gets drafted to RAW. It will definitely be complete.
Terri enters the RAW Room
Stephanie McMahon: (looks at her next pick)
The next person to join SMACKDOWN is Christopher Daniels.
Jonathan Coachman:
If you've followed Christopher Daniels lately, he is an independent talented wrestler,
Jerry Lawler:
That's right, and let's see what he can bring to the table on SMACKDOWN.
Christopher Daniels enters the SMACKDOWN Room!.
Eric Bischoff: (looks at his next pick)
RAW selects another Tag Team, They are the former WWF Tag Team Champions, Mosh & Thrasher, The Headbangers!.
Jerry Lawler:
The Headbangers, the legendary Tag Team, and I just hope they make a good impact on the RAW Roster!.
Jonathan Coachman:
I agree with that King, they are the former WWF Tag Team Champions and hopefully a run at the RAW Tag Team Championship is what they may need.
The Headbangers enter the RAW Room!.
Stephanie McMahon: (looks at her next pick)
Now this next pick is set to make his debut sometime in the spring, and when he does. He will be a part of SMACKDOWN. He is the son of Bob Orton Jr. Randy Orton!.
Jerry Lawler:
I've heard a lot about this kid, Randy Orton and Stephanie is right. Randy Orton is the son of Bob Orton Jr. He is in our developmental talent called OVW.
Jonathan Coachman:
And although he is not a member of the RAW Roster. It's amazing to see what he's going to do on SMACKDOWN.
Eric Bischoff: (looks at his next pick)
RAW chooses a former ECW Champion, Justin Credible!.
Jerry Lawler:
Justin Credible, one of the former ECW Champions gets to join Monday Night RAW!.
Jonathan Coachman:
And he has unquestionable talent, there is no denying that.
Justin Credible enters the RAW Room as he stares down his former fellow ECW Friends
Stephanie McMahon: (Opens up her next pick)
Another talented superstar that is hopefully expected in the spring or summer, he like Randy Orton is also in OVW, He's John Cena!.
Jerry Lawler:
John Cena known as The Prototype will hopefully shine on SMACKDOWN.
Jonathan Coachman:
Well that's what rookies have come here to do, they shine and Stephanie is looking to bring some rookies to the SMACKDOWN Roster to shine!.
Eric Bischoff: (picks up his envelope, he opens it and laughs evilly)
Well Stephanie, you may have picked a lot of big guys on SMACKDOWN tonight, but you ain't going to get this next big pick, because my next pick from RAW is 7'2 500-pounds, former World Heavyweight Champion, former WWF Champion, Former WWF Hardcore Champion, The Big Show!.
Jerry Lawler:
Ohhh my gosh, The Big Show is coming to Monday Nights!.
Jonathan Coachman:
And talk about the game changer, The Big Show is now going to Monday Night RAW. Hopefully, we will see The Big Show become the World Heavyweight Champion on the brand soon enough.
Big Show enters the RAW Room as he stares down the nWo as he has history with them from their WCW Days!.
Stephanie McMahon: (picks up the envelope)
Eric. I'm really happy that you chose The Big Show, and don't worry we have a lot of bigger guys to handle on SMACKDOWN than the Big Show, but my next pick is Shannon Moore!.
Jonathan Coachman:
Another WCW Talented Athlete, Shannon Moore!.
Jerry Lawler:
Shannon Moore will get to join up with the likes of the Cruiserweights on SMACKDOWN .But Stephanie is really desperate to try to bring the Cruiserweight Title over to SMACKDOWN which is not going to happen!.
We see Shannon Moore enter the SMACKDOWN Room!.
Eric Bischoff: (looks at his next pick)
RAW chooses Kid Kash!
Jerry Lawler:
Another ECW Reject, but I do like Kid Kash's abilities in the ring. we've never seen him wrestle in the WWF but we will soon enough.
Kid Kash enters the RAW Room!.
Stephanie McMahon: (looks at her next pick)
For SMACKDOWN'S Next Pick. Eric, you know this guy very well, he is Ernest "The Cat" Miller!.
Jerry Lawler:
I remember Ernest Miller, he was formerly the WCW Commissioner back in 2000. And what a talented athlete he is.
Jonathan Coachman:
Indeed He Is!
Ernest enters the SMACKDOWN Room
Eric Bischoff: (looks at his next pick)
Stephanie, I know you want to bring the new OVW Talent to SMACKDOWN and i'm fine with that, but this next OVW Talent is coming to RAW. He is the monster and the levithan, Batista!.
Jerry Lawler:
Another OVW competitor that we have, the Levithan, Batista!.
Jonathan Coachman:
And when Batista debuts soon, he will look to strike terror on the RAW Roster!
Stephanie McMahon: (looks at her next pick)
Joining SMACKDOWN is Funaki, Indeed!
Jerry Lawler:
Funaki, Well i'm glad that Funaki is going to SMACKDOWN because I don't want him anywhere near RAW. But then again it would be nice to see Kaientai reunite and become SMACKDOWN Tag Team Champions.
Jonathan Coachman:
Anything is possible, King!
Funaki enters the SMACKDOWN Room!
Eric Bischoff: (looks at his next pick)
The Next pick on Monday Night RAW is Eddie Guerrero!.
Jerry Lawler:
Things are looking up for us here on RAW because Latino Heat is here on Monday Nights!.
Jonathan Coachman:
Eddie has missed out on the entire 2001 due to a personal problems with his addiction, but says that he's clean and looking to put the past behind him!.
We see Eddie on the RAW Room!.
Stephanie McMahon: (looks at her next pick)
Eric, you know the reason why I chose all the high flying talent is because the Cruiserweight Championship is coming to SMACKDOWN. Ladies and gentlemen, The Cruiserweight Champion, Tajiri!.
Jerry Lawler:
Well I gotta hand it to Stephanie, they can have the Cruiserweight Championship and the SMACKDOWN Tag Team Championship!.
Jonathan Coachman:
And what a coo this is for the SMACKDOWN Cruiserweights, the Cruiserweight Title is now a part of SMACKDOWN.
We see Tajiri enter the SMACKDOWN Room!.
Eric Bischoff: (looks at his next pick and smiles)
Steph, you are not going to believe who is the next to be picked, a man that has told me that he's ready to come to the WWF cause he hasn't been there at all, he's a former WCW Champion, he's probably the franchise of WCW. And he will be the franchise of RAW. Ladies and Gentlemen, Sting!.
Jerry Lawler:
Ohhh my god, We got Sting on RAW!.
Jonathan Coachman:
Sting is set to come to the WWF on Monday Nights.
Then we see suddenly on the stage, Sting, he shakes the hands of Eric Bischoff & Stephanie McMahon and hugs Vince McMahon who enters the fray.
Jerry Lawler:
Ladies and Gentlemen, not only is history being made in the Draft Lottery, but history is definitely made because The Stinger is here with us live tonight on WWF New York!.
Sting:
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!. Hell has frozen over tonight in New York, you know I missed most of the Invasion Era, But everyone has wondered why, why did I miss the Invasion Era?. And a lot of guys have asked the same question to Hogan, Nash, Hall. The Steiner Brothers & Randy Savage, Ooooh yeah, They've asked the question, why did they miss the Invasion Era and why did I miss out too, they said I missed out a great opportunity on facing The Undertaker last year. But with all due respect to The Undertaker being on SMACKDOWN. Don't think that I'm going to be coming for him because I will soon enough.
We see Undertaker on the SMACKDOWN Room looking at Sting speaking on the TV.
Undertaker:
We will soon enough boy, you just wait!.
Sting:
But the reason why I didn't show up is because Time Warner didn't want me, the nWo and Goldberg to come to the World Wrestling Federation. But before WrestleMania 18, my contract with Time Warner was up, and I called up old Vince McMahon, I said to him, Hey Vince, I want a shot at the World Wrestling Federation, I had been in WCW. But I want to be in the WWF in where I can face the likes of Triple H, The Undertaker, The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Kurt Angle, Chris Jericho & the best the WWF has to offer!. But now, The Stinger is finally here on Monday Nights!, and I also know that the nWo are here on Monday Nights, you know me and the nWo, We go way back, whenever the nWo was causing trouble. I was the one that stopped their terror and I was the one that stopped Hulk Hogan's terror and took that belt away from him. So nWo. It's going to be a same Monday Night, but it will be a different show because you guys are on RAW and I'm on RAW too. So whenever you cause trouble, you can rest assured that the Stinger will be there to stop the trouble, So WWF. Get ready for the thrill of your life, because it's showtime WOOOOOOOOO!.
Sting then hears the chants of his name as he raises his arms
Jerry Lawler:
What a moment, we have Sting in the World Wrestling Federation and we have him on Monday Night RAW.
Jonathan Coachman:
And you heard what he said, he said he was going to stop at nothing to stop the nWo's reign of terrorism once again!.
Stephanie McMahon: (looks at her next pick)
Well I am happy that Sting finally found his home in the WWF. But the next pick on SMACKDOWN is Evan Karagias!.
The commentators don't know much about Evan Karagias, although they say he was a member of 3 Count in WCW.
We see Evan Karagias enter the SMACKDOWN Locker Room!
Eric Bischoff: (looks at his next pick)
The next pick to join RAW is Psicosis!
The commentators again don't know much about Psicosis as they are speechless by Sting's words still, but we see Psicosis enter the RAW Room!.
Jerry Lawler:
Psicosis has been chosen as we have 6 rounds left to go.
Stephanie McMahon: (looks at her next pick)
For SMACKDOWN. Another Cruiserweight has been added and he will be in the WWF soon enough, as a matter of fact, April 4, 2002 will be his SMACKDOWN Debut, Former WCW Cruiserweight Champion, Rey Mysterio!.
Jerry Lawler:
Now there is a lot to know about Rey Mysterio, he is a former WCW Cruiserweight Champion!
Jonathan Coachman:
That's right King, and it looks like the first SMACKDOWN is going to be shaping up cause we not only have the Tournament, but Rey Mysterio will make his SMACKDOWN Debut on that same show!
Eric Bischoff: (looks at his next pick)
For the next pick of Monday Night RAW. I Pick the former World Champion, a man who was formerly from WCW. And a man who was also in the WWF. Stephanie, It's going to be Vader Time all over again, because RAW selects Vader!.
Jerry Lawler:
And Eric Bischoff has gone all out, he may have struck Stephanie with another fatal blow, Vader is headed to RAW!.
Jonathan Coachman:
Vader, a former World Champion and a former WWF Competitor is looking to destroy the competition on RAW.
We see Vader enter the RAW Room as he engages in a staredown with Bam Bam Bigelow.
Stephanie McMahon: (chooses her next pick)
My next superstar to join SMACKDOWN is Bill Demott!.
Jonathan Coachman:
Bill Demott, formerly Hugh Morrus will be entering the SMACKDOWN Roster!.
Jerry Lawler:
You talk about a big stud, he is one of them!
We see Bill Demott enter the SMACKDOWN Room!
Eric Bischoff:
RAW's next pick is a man who is also in OVW, Shelton Benjamin!.
Jerry Lawler:
Shelton Benjamin, a young athlete hopefully we will see this kid on the RAW Roster someday.
Jonathan Coachman:
I agree!.
Eric Bischoff:
Well Steph, it looks like we have 4 rounds left, and 8 more superstars to go. So Steph, as they say. It's your move!
Stephanie McMahon: (looks at her next pick)
Unfortunately for you Eric, you're not going to get this next lady, because joining SMACKDOWN is Torrie Wilson!.
Jerry Lawler:
No, Torrie Wilson is headed to SMACKDOWN!.
Jonathan Coachman:
Torrie Wilson, the next woman to be drafted to SMACKDOWN. So the Women's roster has been successfully cleared out.
Torrie enters the SMACKDOWN Room
Eric Bischoff: (looks at his next pick)
RAW's next pick is Juventud Guerrera
Jerry Lawler:
Well although, he isn't going for the Cruiserweight Title, i've been impressed with Juventud and he looks like he could be a major star on RAW.
Juventud enters the RAW Room!
Stephanie McMahon: (Looks at her next pick and has a "ugh" look on her face)
SMACKDOWN's next pick is the former WWF Champion, Former WWF Intercontinental Champion, 2000 Royal Rumble Winner, and a man who beat Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania, The Rock!.
Jerry Lawler:
The Rock, Stephanie McMahon has definitely chosen some big names and she finally got The Rock!.
Jonathan Coachman:
We wondered when The Rock would be drafted to SMACKDOWN.
The Rock then shows up on the titantron via satellite
The Rock: (Via Satellite)
Finally The Rock has come back to WWF New York. So The Rock says tonight is draft night, and The Rock just found out that he's drafted to SMACKDOWN. The same show that started it all, the same phrase that The Rock came up with, the same very catchphrase that The Rock said "layeth the SMACKDOWN". Now, The Rock has no love lost for Eric Bischoff or Stephanie McMahon, but it's pretty obvious that Stephanie McMahon made the right choice in drafting the jabroni beating, pie-eating, trail-blazing, eyebrow raisin, all around smack it down People's Champ, The Rock, and although the nWo has been drafted to RAW. The Rock says that he still has unfinished business with you guys, Hogan. What you did to The Rock, what you did to me was disrespectful, I shook your hand and you told me that I was the better man and never in my wildest dreams did I think that you would attack me like that, you see Hogan, when you and your buddies attacked me at WrestleMania, just like you did when you tried to put me out of action, The Rock vowed redemption, and whether he's on SMACKDOWN or RAW or UPN or TNN or ESPN or HBO or other kind of show, The Rock says, he still wants to get his hands on the nWo!. You see, nWo!. It's real simple, here's how we can make this work, You can have 4 of your guys and The Rock can pick 4 of his partners and we can just kick your roody poo candy ass at Backlash!. Whether it be a RAW or SMACKDOWN Member it just doesn't matter, the fact of the matter is, The Rock will get his revenge one way or the other, But as for SMACKDOWN. After The Rock takes care of the nWo problem. The Rock is going to go away for a while, but when he comes back, he is going to SMACKDOWN and whoop some more candy ass and then whoever the WWF Champion is. The Rock is going to take that WWF Championship again. So if it's Stone Cold Steve Austin, Kurt Angle, Kane, Booker T, Edge, The Undertaker, Spike Dudley, Michael Cole or somebody else for that matter, The Rock is going to win the Championship. If You Smell What The Rock is Cooking!.
Jonathan Coachman:
Strong words from The Rock, although he says he's going to be a part of SMACKDOWN. He has vowed that he is not finished with the nWo!.
Jerry Lawler:
And I guarantee you the nWo on the RAW Room was listening to every word The Rock was saying!.
Eric Bischoff: (looks at his next pick)
Allright let's get moving on with the draft, Cause we have about 3 rounds left to go, the next person joining RAW is Super Crazy!.
Not much is said about Super Crazy except for his talent in ECW as he enters the RAW Room!.
Stephanie McMahon: (looks at her next pick)
My next choice, ohhh look, another Cruiserweight and another WCW Legend, I choose the Ultimo Dragon!.
Jerry Lawler:
Stephanie is really kicking Bischoff right where it hurts as she is taking WCW stars from Bischoff left and right.
Jonathan Coachman:
And it really doesn't full good as The Ultimo Dragon who is indeed another cruiserweight will be a part of SMACKDOWN.
Stephanie McMahon:
Eric, before you make your next pick, I also wanna say also, that not only will Rey Mysterio make his debut on April 4, 2002. on that same night, we will see The Ultimo Dragon take on Rey Mysterio.
Jerry Lawler:
Now that's an amazing matchup i'd like to see on SMACKDOWN. Why can't we get it on RAW?.
Eric Bischoff:
Okay, well i'll be sure to tune in which I probably won't but for my next to last pick on RAW. I choose Gangrel!.
Jerry Lawler:
Gangrel?, we haven't seen him in a while.
Jonathan Coachman:
Well King, he is known for his entrance tactics with the red liquid and he will hopefully do that again.
We see Gangrel enter with his goblet of blood drinking it as he sprays it in the RAW Room!.
Stephanie McMahon: (looks at her next pick)
The next to last pick from SMACKDOWN is another Cruiserweight Sensation as well, He has competed everywhere, he is Jushin Thunder Liger!.
Jerry Lawler:
What a choice Stephanie has picked, Jushin Thunder Liger, hopefully he will get a Cruiserweight Championship push in the near future.
We see Jushin enter the SMACKDOWN Room as well!.
Eric Bischoff: (looks at his final pick and reads)
My last pick on the RAW Roster is Disco Inferno.
Jerry Lawler:
Disco Inferno, I don't know much about this guy, do you Coach?
Jonathan Coachman:
I know a lot about his dancing,
Disco Inferno dances his way to the RAW Room.
Stephanie McMahon:
My final pick for SMACKDOWN is a former ECW Champion, former WWF Hardcore Champion. A man that has competed in ECW. WCW & WWF. Ladies and gentlemen, the final pick is Mike Awesome!.
Jonathan Coachman:
And what a way to end the draft with the final pick being Mike Awesome.
Jerry Lawler:
This guy is so talented, he is probably one of the most biggest guys in the WWF is this Mike Awesome dude.
The SMACKDOWN Room has now been complete as Mike Awesome enters the room.
Eric Bischoff:
Well Stephanie, Stephanie, Stephanie. I just want you to know that I intend on kicking your ass and the SMACKDOWN Roster's ass because you may have a lot of cruiserweights and a lot of big main event talents, but there's one thing that you won't do what your father did to me, i'm going to put SMACKDOWN down and i'm going to bury it to the ground!.
Stephanie gets in Bischoff's face.
Stephanie McMahon:
You think your threats of burying SMACKDOWN to the ground is going to scare me?, Eric. Look in the mirror for once, you are just mad cause you couldn't get The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Undertaker and others, and you know what I'm okay with you getting the nWo. Chris Jericho. Eddie Guerrero. Rikishi. Sting & The Big Show, because whatever roster you have Eric, it really doesn't matter with me because in the end there's going to be only one dominant general manager in the WWF and Eric, you're looking at her!.
Eric Bischoff:
What i'm looking at is a lady who had her heart crushed when her ex-husband dumped her at the altar after you lied about being pregnant, and how will it feel knowing that he's now the World Heavyweight Champion, how will it feel to be watching him on Monday Nights dominating everyone in his path, because besides Steph. I have lots of competition for him!. Just like you couldn't do in bed, you couldn't give him much competition, cause he stated weeks ago and what was it that he said, I can't remember?. "Ohhh I remember now". Maybe it was not so much that it was The Game that was short, maybe the field that he was playing on was too big and that even a 747 looks small when you are flying into the grand canyon!. And Steph, your field was very big, you couldn't get him satisfied, but he was more satisfied at WrestleMania, Steph. You came up short in getting the World Heavyweight Championship, but congratulations in making your own WWE Champion and hopefully The Rock says it may be Spike Dudley! Ha ha ha ha ha, But Steph. Whoever is your WWE Champion, they can't withstand the level of Eric Bischoff's Monday Night RAW!.
Stephanie McMahon:
Ohhh yeah, well if my field is very big, then it is really big, your field is going to be so small that when 2002 is over, you're going to be looking at WWF.COM saying that SMACKDOWN was better than RAW and you know it, so I suggest you be watching on April 4, 2002. And I want you to watch how the entire SMACKDOWN Roster will be having much more talent than your RAW Roster could ever do, so Eric. Have fun building your new Monday Nitro, have fun letting the nWo to attack more stars and have fun with Buff Bagwell harassing Jim Ross. All of that, but there's one thing you're never going to do and that is beat SMACKDOWN this year in the end.
Stephanie walks off as Eric starts talking trash telling Stephanie "You can't beat me"
Jonathan Coachman:
Well folks, next week there will be a pre-empted edition of RAW & SMACKDOWN as we have the Best Of and we will see the best matches of 2001 & 2002!
Jerry Lawler:
Indeed Coach, and then on April 1, 2002. We will have the new and improved debut of Monday Night RAW!.
The Draft Lottery ends with Eric leaving the WWF NY Stage as well!
