My Thoughts on the 2008 WWE [Supplemental] Draft

Well, that last post was a long one so I'll try to keep this one a little shorter.

Here is my quick thoughts on the 2008 WWE Supplemental Draft:

MARK HENRY to ECW - Isn't this guy already on ECW? Oh wait.... he's from Smackdown. He just always shows up on ECW for some reason. Whatever. He seems like he would make a good contender for the ECW Championship. The only problem is the ECW Championship is on RAW. Oh well, I'm sure it will find its way back to ECW, after all, it is the ECW Championship.

JAMIE NOBLE to RAW - I haven't really seen this guy too much but he seems like a pretty good wrestler. You probably won't see him vying for any championships because he's more of a "time-filler" type guy.

TREVOR MURDOCH to Smackdown - I wonder how long this singing gimmick is going to go on for. Just like Jamie Noble, I don't think he will be going after any championship gold, but you never know, it is the WWE after all where anything can happen.

BIG DADDY V to Smackdown - Well Smackdown just got 500 lbs. heavier. Nonetheless, I wonder what kind of gimmick they're going to get him into. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

DEUCE to RAW - Well there goes that whole '50s gimmick they had going. With the split up of Deuce and Domino, I can tell you that at least one of them is going to have to give up the '50s thing. I have never seen either of them wrestle in a singles match so it'll be interesting to see how they do alone.

DH Smith to Smackdown - I've seen this guy wrestle and to me, I think he has a lot of potential. He is the son of Davey Boy Smith after all.

HORNSWOGGLE to ECW - Now this one really confuses me. I thought Smackdown was trying to appeal to a younger audience, especially with the launch of the new WWE Kids Magazine, and over the past few weeks I've been watching Hornswoggle do a lot of things that are "kid friendly", things that kids would find humour in, and quite frankly, I think he has done an excellent job doing so. But now, he has been moved to ECW which is definately the least "kid friendly" brand out of the three. So I don't know what the big idea is here because I don't think he is going to be able to sell his childish antics on ECW. Does this mean Smackdown is moving in a different direction away from "kid friendly" programming? Or could it mean that Hornswoggle will no longer be the "kid friendly" character? Could he be changing his name back to Little Bastard? We'll see in the coming weeks.

SUPER CRAZY to ECW - Where else would someone with the name Super Crazy fit in? I think he will suceed on ECW and possibly challenge for a title.

CHUCK PALUMBO to RAW - I think he's going to be another one of those "time-filler" middle card guys unless the WWE has some sort of gimmick planned for him.

BRIAN KENDRICK to Smackdown - He did well when he was teamed with Paul London but I'm not sure how he will do on his own. If the Cruiserweight Championship still existed, he would be a contender for it.

MATT STRIKER to RAW - Once again, another middle card guy. He seems like he might be a good candidate to challenge for the Intercontinental Championship once Chris Jericho and Shawn Michaels finish their feud.

MARIA to Smackdown - Whatever brand the divas are on, they're always HOT!

SHELTON BENJAMIN to Smackdown - He's certainly been around long enough, I think he should go after some championship gold.

FINLAY to ECW - Well, his name is Finlay and he loves to fight. I'm sure he'll find enough fights on ECW. I wonder if Hornswoggle will still tag along with him now that they're on ECW.

CARLITO to Smackdown - So Carlito's back where it all began for him, except this time he's not going to have some tall guy name Jesus (pronounced Hay-Zoos) to do his dirty work for him.

LAYLA to RAW - Just like I said with Maria, no matter where these divas go, they'll always be HOT!

KOFI KINGSTON to RAW - I remember seeing this guy when I went to see RAW in Toronto, he wrestled a dark match and the crowd went nuts for him. I think he will be a good middle card guy for RAW.

I think in my next post I'll be talking about some random thoughts I had about the WWE. I'll probably post in the next couple of days.
