After 5 days, I've decided to give my thoughts before the Draft.
The word "Draft" is a very interesting word.
It can mean a new job to some, sure death to others.
In the hockey world, it means a fresh start while at the same time, more work than before, because there's an option for the team not to sign you and throw you back in the draft next year if they don't like what they see early.
In WWE, the draft only means superstars already in the company. A move only affects the careers of those moved. It can also be make or break based on what is written for the superstar.
I remember a draft where a huge trade ended up being the beginning of the end for superstars like Kenzo Suzuki and Rene Dupree.
There have been some great moments too.
John Cena, as WWE Champion, being drafted the first night a few years ago shook the company up more than any other trade and/or pick.
With Cena gone, SD!, had no champion.
Then on the final night, after JBL had angered all of us off by winning, Batista showed up and all was right with the world.
Who knows what great storylines we're going to get after the Draft.
The decision to do it before Night of Champions is a little confusing, but hey, I'm not Vince.
Here are some people I think would benefit from a change.

one question : when ROCK come back?
from 5 months ago
As far as I can tell, The Rock, sorry, Dwayne Johnson is never coming back as an in-ring performer. He has said on multiple occasions that he wants to separate himself from his wrestling persona, and has done just that by erasing "The Rock" from his screen name. It went from The Rock to Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson to just Dwayne Johnson. Good luck to him in his future movies, but I, like a lot of other fans, think it's a slap in the face to us to want to end his relationship with WWE forever just to make more money in his future movies. He was a wrestler, it's what got him his fame, yet he wants nothing to do with it.
It's another reason I admire Jesse Ventura and his stance when he was running/was Governor. He never cited his days as a wrestler as a negative, always as a positive.

Has the Rock been talking smack about his smackdown days?
from 5 months ago
I for one am not bothered in the least bit. I loved his promos and matches as much as anyone but I applaud him. How many guys can get out young, with their health in tact and enough money to not have to go back?

I AM SO PISSEDRIGHT NOW. I hve been a long time HHH fan. I have tickets or a live Raw show here in New Orleans on July 7,2008 and I knew I was gonna get screwed like Brett Hart. I thought after the first match and he won the the first pick it put him in the clear. Right as I was ready to breath a sigh of relief, I saw it coming in those last coming seconds. "HHH goes to Smackdown". Now SD can REALY use him, and I think the ratings will jump. BUT IT DOESN"T HELP HIS BIGGEST DAMN FAN. My friend called and said "WHy did you wish that on Vince?" I have to wonder, are my powers that great, cause I was that PISSSED.

To sid-If you hate it so much,why did you read the commentary??Obviously you do not watch wrestling so why read or make any comment about it. I really don't think the human race is being affected by wrestling what-so-ever!!
I do watch and have watched for years.Sure alot of it is pre-performed and orchestrated,but there are plenty of men and women that have gotten and still get hurt doing this.I don't know what the appeal is,but i never miss a show.My favorite is Jeff Hardy and I was happy to see the Hardy Boys wrestle together last night.Disappointed that they are not going to be together on WWF though.Vince-you are a marketing genious.Actually we went to the same High School,just different years.I will stick up for you and for the wrestling corporation any time !!!!

Well when I 1at seen this let me tell you I was happy but I was depressed cause after McMahon fired Hulk Hogan and beat up his own daughter I'm sorry to say but I havent liked him and seeing that Limo explode brought joy yet I was sad at the sane time . But I didn't do it I was sitting at home watching it on TV in Carthage, Mo.
I like him now due to the McMahon's Million Dollar Givaway but I'll never forget Hulk Hogan or Stone Cold Steve Austin

He did not beat up his daughter. It was all an act for the ratings. He is actually a very good and loving father.He also tried to get Hulk Hogan back wrestling.I do not remember from Hogan Knows Best why he did not take a wrestling contract again,but it was probably because he is too old and too injured to continue to do it any longer!! McMahon has to come off looking like an ass.It is part of his persona...

The only thing I am mad about is the fact JR is going to SD, he is the historic part of RAW and should stay their he even felt that way.
