As you can all plainly see, I have way too much time on my hands, so let's go through the picks from the WWE Supplemental Draft, one by one. I have some thoughts on all of them.

Paul London & Brian Kendrick drafted as a unit with the 1st pick to Monday Night Raw
What's there to be said? Smackdown got raided again, and Raw is the winner, big time. London & Kendrick did not seem poised in any way to re-challenge for the WWE Tag Team titles and the Untouchables, so the natural selection of them to another brand was inevitable. Forutunately for the former champs, it was to a brand with an established tag team title, and I would be very concerned if I was Cade & Murdoch, because these guys will fly over their heads like a couple of MiG-28s. It will be very interesting to watch. Smackdown's loss is Raw's gain, AGAIN.

Kenny Dykstra drafted with the 2nd pick to Friday Night Smackdown
As the blossoming team of Nitro and Dykstra were beginning to give the Hardy Boys fits, WWE sees fit to break up this potentially intense rivalry and send Dykstra packing for friday nights. I could see Kenny working his way up with MVP to form a formidable tag team of cocky, up and coming, young superstars with a plethora of potential. I could also see Kenny work his way in to the world title picture down the road, a long way down the road, but without Edge as the champion. For the time being, Kenny does get a new lease on life, but frankly, I would think, and hope, he takes full advantage of it.

Viscera drafted #3 to ECW
Um, Extreme Expose just became an appetizer. The World's Most Extreme Love Machine, (did I just say that?) is going to give Brooke, Layla, and Kelly a lot of headaches over the next few weeks. Outside of that, I don't see Viscera making a major impact in ECW. He fits the "freak" factor to a T, but I don't see him in a title picture in the forseeable future. In short, I think his time in the company as a whole may be short lived.

The Sandman drafted #4 to Monday Night Raw
Ok, here's where things get weird. Now, call me a traditionalist fool, but does WWE really want to parade an ECW Original on another brand? It makes zero sense to me. While Sandman ANYWHERE would be entertaining to watch, the best place to put him is on the brand he is most well known for. However, I do believe that his time on ECW is/was/ and still would be severely limited just strictly to the television time slot, so perhaps the move to monday nights for the Hardcore Icon may be a blessing in disguise. Personally, I don't see it. I think this is the beginning of the end for the Sandman in WWE. He's going to get one whiff of the politics on Monday night, and run for the nearest exit screaming and throwing furniture in his wake.

Hardcore Holly drafted #5 to Friday Night Smackdown
The consummate loyalist. While he is also tailor made for ECW, he would be and could be a viable addition back to Smackdown to give the US champion a run for his money. I would've thought a run at the ECW world title was in Holly's future, but perhaps the injury factor played a role in the decision to send him back to the blue and white. We'll never know. Is he a good fit for Smackdown? Sure. Is he the 'perfect fit', ala London and Kendrick on Raw? Not a chance.

The Miz drafted to ECW with pick #6
Somewhere on the corporate jet, John Bradshaw Layfield is smiling like a chesire cat. His nemesis, his bane of existence is gone from friday nights. In this case for Smackdown, this is addition by subtraction. Miz does not seem to have a role within the company period, and I would be stunned if he is even remotely involved in a title situation in the near future, especially in the title barren wasteland of ECW. Personally, Miz is a backstage diva interviewer in a male's body, but that's just one man's opinion.

Daivari drafted to Monday Night Raw with the 7th pick
A cruiserweight leaving Smackdown is absolute death. Anyplace else in the company is just dangerous for anyone under the heavyweight weight limit, and this is no different for Khosrow "Shawn" Daivari. I don't see much of anything in his future, maybe a brief stint with the Champ, just to rekindle old flames, but personally, this is another one on borrowed time in the company as a whole, I think.

The Major Brothers drafted as a unit to Friday Night Smackdown with pick #8
A needed pick for Friday Nights with the loss of London and Kendrick, they are replaced by the newcomers. Can the Majors take over where London and Kendrick left off? It's a good question, and an intriguing one, and one I am looking forward to investigating personally over the coming months.

William Regal to Raw with the 9th draft pick
This one makes zero sense. Regal and Taylor were the British Bulldogs of the present age. They were champions uncrowned as far as I could see. They are an OUTSTANDING tag team unit, but Regal wanted out and to return to singles competition. So, in the midst of all that, Regal returns to Raw. He is a midcard title contender just by walking in the door, but I really believed he had a viable shot to unseat the WWE tag team champions back on Smackdown. It's a mystery where he goes from here.

Victoria drafted to Smackdown with the 10th pick
This is a shame. An absolute shame. One of the few pure women's wrestlers in the entire roster has been reduced to going to friday nights and torturing women who, while they may be hotter than a molten volcano, can't wrestle to save their lives. Victoria felt she was being overlooked on Raw, and frankly, with this pick, I believe she was right. Now, she's doomed to a life of mediocrity in a non-existent division. I feel badly for her.

Jillian Hall to Raw with pick #11
If Jillian shuts up and competes, we'll see where this goes. I don't see her challenging for the title until Melina drops it, but it appears Candice is en route to a women's title win, and Jillian would probably be #1 in line to get the next chance. She's not on the same skill level as Victoria, but she's not as green as others in the diva locker room. It's a decent pick, but I would've stayed with the vicious vixxen. But that's just my opinion.

Eugene picked by Smackdown with the 12th pick
What's to say about Eugene? He has been nothing short of a comedic joke in WWE since his brief run as a tag champ with Regal. As it looked like Regal and Eugene could reunite for a shot at Cade & Murdoch, those hopes were dashed in the span of two hours. Now, Eugene goes to Smackdown and from there, God knows. I certainly don't. This is the Eric Young of WWE, and it's sad. It was a good gimmick to begin with, although I didn't like it initially, but now, it's just plain sad to see. Nick Dinsmore should be looking for work elsewhere, I think.

Johnny Nitro picked with the last pick to ECW
How pissed off is the women's champion going to be? Her boyfriend is off the road with her, and sent over to the other side to ECW. While I could definitely see some nice matches with Nitro and CM Punk, I would have to believe this pick is a punishment to both Nitro and Melina for the unwritten rule of no fratenizing to the point of ad nauseum, as it appears they have done during their time on Raw. Could Nitro be a world title contender? Possibly. But, it's a long way away. That is a guarantee.

Before I finish this up, I have to say something about the presumed death of Vince McMahon. While I found it tasteless and not funny when I saw it transpire on Monday night, I understood the need to take the man out of the loop on television, and bring some new, fresh ideas to the product. I can respect that.

I can respect the fact of having to embellish it to some extent to keep the ‘angle’ as it were, going.

But, being forced to suffer through eulogies by superstars for a man who isn’t dead, and being forced to endure the constant content on the website that shows Shane and Stephanie celebrating “Father’s Day" without their dad, well, personally, it’s just going over the damn line.

Anyone who knows me knows I’m a parent. It’s one of the most difficult and rewarding jobs, tasks, and/or roles any man or woman can accept. To even hint ONE MOMENT about having to suffer without a parent, for any reason, is tragic, to the utmost degree. I have my reasons for being so adamant about this. Embellish if you must, do what you have to do to keep the ‘angle’ alive, but for the love of all that’s holy, keep the rest of the family out of the damn picture, because NOBODY should be forced to endure having to go through anything saying they’ve lost a parent. Period.

And God forbid in this scenario, when the situation is such that Shane and Stephanie are ACTING! It’s just so damn obnoxious, it’s not even fun to watch anymore. You want the perfect example? Smackdown was on replay last night (Saturday) in New York. I watched it, and whenever the ‘testimonials’ came on, or the commentators started talking about this dumb thing, I turned the channel, or lowered the volume. Is that the type of publicity or notoriety that WWE is looking for? THE CW NETWORK, 30 MINUTES AFTER SMACKDOWN WAS OVER, RAN A NEWS STORY CALLING THE WHOLE MESS A HOAX. Is this truly what WWE is wanting?

If that is the case, I need to know what they’re smoking, and make sure I never go near the stuff, because it’s over my head, and that’s putting it mildly.

Ok. There it is in a nutshell. Your thoughts?
