2009 Draft..... the WWE one.

Where everything will change...big things are coming. That is true. The Draft is usually an exciting time (Unless it was for Vietnam...that one, not so much) And Although the WWE draft is not like a professional sports draft it has it's own appeal as it brings new looks to the WWE shows that our "separate."

This year with the economy the way it is, and the 3 shows sharing talent....it looks like Raw is going to be BEEFED up big time. Smackdown is on a failing network and ECW only consists of one hour. With that in mind, I'm conducting a Fantasy Draft. Not necessarily what I think WILL happen but what SHOULD happen. (Coincidentally some picks will be one in the same.)

Raw is going to be the "A" Show and be getting a lot of the names. Smackdown will have a couple stars but will be mostly for the "next level guys" mid and upper mid card guys. ECW will be the minor leagues. TV time is important.

Pick 1: Rey Mysterio to SD
Time to start Raw off with a bang. Smackdown will benefit from a "top name" going over there because they will be losing. A lot. Rey is much better suited for the Blue Brand.

Pick 2: Mark Henry to SD
Kind of a throw away pick, but SD will need some monster heels.

Pick 3: Evan Bourne to RAW
Bring a high flyer back...people love this guy

Pick 4: Christian to SD
Please get him off ECW, he'll do good with more time and better fueds

Pick 5: Great Khali to ECW
Bring a big monster back.

Pick 6: Mr. Kennedy to ECW
Give him time to redevelop

Pick 7: Kozlov to Raw
Just a gut feeling I guess

Pick 8: Morrison to SD
Whoa....yeah breaking up a great tag team... lame. Miz and Morrison lose the match, in turn costing them their tag team. But maybe both can shine as singles wrestlers.

Pick 9: MVP to Raw
He's on his way up, people like him, and Raw will get a "secondary" champion back. It just makes sense.

Pick 10: Chris Jericho to SD
Whoa! Big coup for the blue boys. Unfortunately what they're about to lose...they NEED this pick.

Pick 11: Edge to Raw
YUP! Time for him to reshine on the red brand.

Pick 12: HHH to Raw
I don't want it to happen...it's a virtual lock to happen. But he's not needed on Smackdown anymore. Laaaame

Half of those were what I think was going to happen I guess. But I do believe that SD will benefit from getting Jericho and Rey Rey. It'll fit the audience well. Christian will take his time on SD to prove his worth. MVP is in the "CM Punk range" where he's ready to go to the next level, bring him over to Raw. Edge and HHH just because Raw needs to be number 1 again.
