It Sure Feels Drafty....

As many people know, the WWE's annual superstar draft will take place the week of April 26, also the date of Backlash which will originate from Providence, RI.

The draft is the magical time of the year where story lines are pretty much drawn out for the entire year.

The reporter that I talked to in January, the one that aided me in writing a previous article on Manu, got a hold of me a few days ago after having a conversation with John Morrison and Ryklon Stephens, aka Ezekial Jackson, and let me in on some tidbits.

In his interview Morrison stated "I'm going to miss teaming with Mike. I like what we've been able to accomplish, but the time for John Morrison, heavyweight champion might be coming near."

Morrison also said "It's going to be an easy transition I think, all in all it's going to be ok, the Shaman of Sexy wins wherever he goes, and looks good doing it."

I'm thinking this means Morrison is part of the group which is supposed to include susposed "Money in The Bank" winner M.V.P. Triple H, Tyson Kidd/Natalya, and Brian Kendrick.

While it's only speculation, Morrison seems confident that his drafting to Raw was in 50 feet of cement, meaning he and the Miz will lose the unification match with the tag titles at Wrestlemania 25.

This bodes well for Morrison. He could be the answer to who will be the I.C. champion if JBL does indeed retire the night after Wrestlemania 25, with I.C. title in hand. You throw Morrison in with M.V.P., Mike Knox, Kofi Kingston, and C.M. Punk-(who again might get traded, this time to Smackdown) and you have a good core for the I.C. title.

Stephens only mentioned that if Kendrick indeed heads to Raw that he'd like to work in ECW. His style of wrestling is more suited to beating people up, and ECW would give him the opportunity to do so.

So with all rumors and such added in, here is the current/supposed, one way of looking at it, potential draft outlook.

Raw-M.V.P., Morrison, Triple H, Tyson Kidd/Natalya, Mark Henry, The Brian Kendrick Joe Hennig, and DH Smith-(from Florida Champion Wrestling)

ECW-Ezekial-(assuming Kendrick gets drafted to Raw) Vladimir Kozlov, Rey Mysterio-(being thrown around) and potentially one star such as a Batista or Big Show, who might be in the twilight of their careers.

As well as Stephen Ferrelly, aka Sheamus O'Shaunessey as the heir apparent to the Fighting Irishman gimmick that Dave Finlay so desperately clings onto. I will say Finlay is a good talent and fun to watch, but did I mention twilight of their career superstars? As well as ECW's Low Ki.

Smackdown-Y2J, John Cena, Christian, Evan Bourne, and Jack Swagger.

These are just taken from reports and from the vast bit of knowledge I've acquired in dealing with the draft.
