But you're forgetting - if Jericho goes to Smackdown and feuds with Edge, he'd be face again. We all just got what we've been begging for. Now you want to switch it back?

Anyone see this yet.... This is what happened to all of last years draft picks.
Raw
-- Bobby Lashley: Went down with an injury in the summer, quit the company in January due to "circumstances beyond his control," likely due to personal problems with Michael Hayes.
-- Booker T: Wellness suspension resulting in a 60-day suspension, later quit after feeling that the company had turned their back on him.
-- Daivari: Chose not to renew his WWE contract after going to the creative team and finding out that they didn't really have anything in mind for him on Raw.
-- Jillian Hall: Found a niche with her singing gimmick, but hasn't come close to being a viable contender for the WWE Women's Title, which was likely her original goal when moving to Raw.
-- Mr. Kennedy: After crowing & cawing about how his job in WWE "was worth more than an extra ten pounds of muscle mass" and that the WWE wrestlers of today don't use drugs unlike the ones from previous generations, Kennedy got caught in his lies when it was revealed that he had purchased a number of illegal drugs through a shady online drug firm. He was suspended for 30 days and missed out on the push of his life from the McMahon "illegitimate child" storyline as a result. His career then sputtered around for a few months after his return from suspension.
-- Paul London and Brian Kendrick: Had a nearly year-long tag team title reign on SmackDown, but after moving to Raw, they never even got close to the title. They were largely kept on Heat, which has since been canceled. Have competed in a total of one pay-per-view match since the brand switch.
-- Sandman: Got a small push initially, but requested his release from the company in mid-September following a flare-up with road agent Ricky Steamboat during a tour overseas.
-- Snitsky: Was getting a big push in ECW, but after the move to Raw, was largely kept on Heat. He also served a 30-day Wellness suspension in September.
-- William Regal: Became the General Manager of Raw, but was suspended due to a Wellness Policy violation shortly thereafter. Won the 2008 King of the Ring Tournament, but was suspended once again for a second violation of WWE's drug testing policy just a few weeks later.
SmackDown
-- Brett & Brian Major: Sputtered around for a few months, but the duo eventually hooked up with Edge. Are prominently featured on television due to their partnership with him.
-- Chris Masters: Violated the Wellness policy on two occasions. After the second drug violation, WWE let him go altogether.
-- Eugene: Didn't win a single television match on SmackDown and lost his job to due to a Wellness policy violation in September. Dinsmore tested positive for painkillers which he didn't have a valid prescription for. He was then told that he was being fired and was unceremoniously ejected from the arena by security officers.
-- Hardcore Holly: Never competed on SmackDown due to an arm injury. Was then sent to Raw without explanation.
-- Kenny Dykstra: His career went into a tailspin after his move to SmackDown. Lost the majority of his matches, went down with a knee injury in January, and has yet to be brought back on the road even though he's been healthy since WrestleMania.
-- Ric Flair: Quit the company in September due to his unhappiness on SmackDown, but was eventually lured back with the retirement angle. Barely appeared on SmackDown afterwards.
-- The Great Khali: The stars were aligned right and he managed to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship a little more than a month after the move because Edge had to vacate it due to an injury. Khali held the belt for nearly three months.
-- Torrie Wilson: Did very little of note during her second go-round on the blue brand and was soon forced to retire due to an ailing back injury.
-- Victoria: Benefited from the move as it got her on television nearly every week.
ECW
-- Big Daddy V: Got a big push right out the gate with his repackaged character. However, he's been forced to sit on the sidelines since March due to weight issues.
-- Boogeyman: Was getting a bit of a push during the summer, but went down with a calf injury in September. The injury has likely since healed, but the writers appear to have no interest in using him.
-- Chris Benoit: Double murder and suicide.
-- John Morrison: Was forced to relinquish the ECW Championship when the Signature Pharmacy scandal broke out. Managed to capture the WWE Tag Team Championship with The Miz, but hasn't been a viable contender for the ECW title since the suspension.
-- The Miz: Captured the WWE Tag Team Championship with John Morrison in mid-November and still reigns as champion to this day.

Yeah, again Cade & Murdoch... lost them the next night at the next show.
Here is what i'd like to see. I think this year's should be the biggest draft yet. Most drafted, that is:
From RAW to SmackDown!: Carlito, JBL, Maria, Santino Marella and Trevor Murdoch From RAW to ECW: Ashley, Brian Kendrick, Hardcore Holly, Paul London, Snitsky, Super Crazy and Umaga From SmackDown! to RAW: Batista, Deuce, Kenny Dykstra and MVP From SmackDown! to ECW: Big Show, Chuck Palumbo, Eve, Funaki, Gregory Helms, Jamie Noble, Jimmy Wang Yang, Mark Henry and Shannon Moore From ECW to RAW: John Morrision From ECW to SmackDown!: Bam Neely, Big Daddy V, Chavo Guerrero, CM Punk, Kelly Kelly, Matt Striker, Shelton Benjamin and The Miz
RAW has the big names, some decent talent and the best womens division. SmackDown! has some big names, some of the better talent and a "still learning" womens division. ECW has the bug guys, the best talent, the cruiserweights and a terrible womens division.
... what'd you guys think? Any corrections you'd make?
- Triple S

Back in 2002, WWE did a live draft for television and a secondary draft with the results posted on the company website. A number of mid-level and lower-level wrestlers had to log on to the WWE site late at night after the draft to find out about their futures. It's expected that WWE will do something similar this year by announcing some of the trades on WWE.com after RAW as well as on ECW and SmackDown! later in the week.

I guess were getting more draft picks than we expected.

From: blocked due to security threat It definitely looks like John Cena is heading over to SmackDown during this Monday's live draft show. One reader works at a metal etching factory based our of Ohio. He said WWE belt maker Joe Marshall brought in what appeared to be a copy of SmackDown's World Heavyweight Championship belt 'main plate' earlier in the week. Later, one of his co-workers informed him that the job would be a little tricky, as the wrestlers on the sides, and the crown/globe were cut out on seperate pieces, with the intent of having spinning capabilities. Going by that, it looks like the World Heavyweight Championship is going to become a spinner belt, which would indicate that John Cena is jumping to SmackDown.

Any corrections you'd make? - Triple S Meh, This draft is probably realistic seeing as Smackdown always gets screwed. I think sending JBL to SD is horrible. I think a big name like Cena Orton, HHH, HBK, Jericho or whatever... One or two of them need to be drafted to SD>

Cena is not being advertised for the RAW UK tour later this year. MVP is not being advertised for the SD/ECW UK tour CM Punk is still being advertised for the SD/ECW UK tour. This most likely means that Cena is going to SD, MVP is going to RAW and Punk is either going to SD or staying on ECW.. I do not want MVP on RAW..

Sounds like bullshit, anybody could write in and say that... and even if they do create a belt for him, which they probably will since I see him going to SD, it doesn't mean he's winning the belt right away. He's still gotta wait for Taker's reign to end..

They should send JBL to ECW and have him win the title. But the twist is, have him hate being the ECW Champion, because in his eyes it represents nothing but "tables, barbed wire, and chairs." From there, he defends it often and tries to bring "his own" prestige to the title.
Yes or No?
