After the live Raw where draft picks are "random"...I really wish that this supplemental draft was more like a trading session....maybe have something on WWE.com where Teddy Long wants to get Daniel Bryan but he has to give up someone for him...

As it stands now it looks like Smackdown has spent the entire supplemental draft desperately trying to bring The Usos onto their show...

Raw once again got the better end of this deal than Smackdown. As soon as SD develops a new rising star like Del Rio Raw swoops in and takes them. And they took on of SD's top draws in Rey. Its a testament to SD that it does at well as it does in the ratings.

I think we all knew the Cena draft was blowing smoke and that he'd get drafted back to Raw.

I will say at least the midcards of both shows seemed to be balanced out with good talent. Theres plenty of matches I want to see. Its a shame they still won't get featured very well.

I really hope they do something with Punk so he won't walk out. Like Jericho, the man is the most versatile member of the roster. However, the key difference between Jericho and Punk is age, really. CM Punk still has many years left and will be a huge loss if he walks out. Jericho has already been the top guy multiple times and has done everything he could possibly do. Jericho's role now is just like Kane in that he can be a transitional champion and put over younger talent. CM Punk is nowhere close to being in that type of role yet. Just give CM Punk the title belt, quality A-list feuds, and a real spot among the elite like Cena and Orton and call it a day, really.

Punk should take a break if he needs it but WWE's treatment of him has been weak. As soon as he was starting up a strong feud with Cena they killed it. They done seem to want to give him a chance to take it to the next level even though he has all the talent.

Like someone said he's in that Jericho role but it seems like he's getting less chances to shine than even Jericho did. WWE needs guys like Jericho and Punk now more than ever to help teach newer talent. The lack of high quality veteran workers is more apparent than ever.

The following is a new tweet from the official Twitter page of WWE Hall Of Famer and current Tough Enough head trainer/host "Stone Cold" Steve Austin:

"@Garf_rocks Rima was great...so much heart...she was a pleasure to be around...and always smiling...great future in front of her."

The following is a new tweet from the official Twitter page of former WWE Superstar Chris Jericho:

"Happy to say that I just got drafted to FCW!"

Rima's pretty much guaranteed to get a job offer from WWE to do something. She's got the determination, she's got a lot of charm and personality, and she's GORGEOUS. And its a more natural kind of beauty than half the plastic bleached blond divas.

Most important of all she's got some name recognition outside of WWE. Something Vince tosses and turns in his bed at night dreaming about.

What was Kaitlyn's prize again for winning NXT? I still think AJ or Naomi shoulda won...they seemed to have some skill IIRC....

I like Rosa....but you can only job for so long...

Kaitlyn was supposed to get a title shot...which WWE has apparently forgotten about. If they aren't going to let her wrestle they should at least make her a manager. She's got a lot of personality.

But if Alberto wins, and takes the title to Raw, Orton is not in line for contention. Of course, WWE could pull any excuse out of their butts...but if Alberto wins the title, Orton should be nowhere near contention for it.

Thats never stopped them before. I'm still trying to figure out how the Bellas got a Divas title shot.

I think on that Raw in Atlanta, when they introduced the TE contestants and the crowd started cheering her before she was even verbally introduced, Vince started smelling money right away.

Truth's facial expressions have been what's impressed me the most lately. During the beat down with Morrison in particular. It's little things like that which allows him to connect with the audience better than a lot other guys on the roster. It's not over the top cartoonish but significant enough so that you can tell what he's supposed to be feeling at the time.
 
WWE wants to keep Punk on the roster and have offered him a new longterm deal, which he's yet to sign. It's interesting to note that CM Punk's real-life girlfriend Beth Phoenix was traded to the RAW brand during Tuesday's Supplemental Draft - which could be seen as a move to make life better for Punk on the road.

Punk's possible departure from WWE later this year has been one of the main topics of discussion behind the scenes this week. Punk has been dating Beth Phoenix for the past several months and the two are reportedly a serious couple.

WWE has made roster trades in the past to keep superstar-diva couples together - with the most notable example being Michelle McCool being moved to SmackDown a few years ago so she could travel with her husband, The Undertaker.

Hope the heel turn works out for Truth, if he performs then he deserves to come out of this Morrison feud in a better position than him.

Interesting. Wasn't it reported that Undertaker would be returning to Raw when he returns?

Aren't Michelle McCool and Layla fighting in a loser leaves SD match at extreme rules?

Yup, No DQ as well, methinks Kharma will aid McCrap in defeating Layla.

They can both come out of the feud looking great if WWE does it right. It should be a back and forth thing with both guys playing to their strengths in an effort to get each other more over.

The Chris Benoit vs Chris Jericho feud for the IC title is a good example of one guy winning a feud but both of them being elevated in the process.

True, but RAW Superstar Jack Swagger was moved to Smackdown last year after winning the World Heavyweight Title and RAW Superstar Randy Orton got a title shot at Extreme Rules instead of Jericho and Edge.
 
Hunter Rider said:
Sheamus moving to SD is up there with Bryan as a great move IMO, he can be SD's top heel along with Cody.



This crossed my mind when they switched him and Rey, it makes sense as Sin Cara's style is susceptible to botches.



First person to indentify this guy names the next thread! :woot:

i thought Beth was moved to Raw to face Kong :huh:
 
Even if anyone is an HHH fan they shouldn't be surprised with #7.Hell I'm not surprised with any of it.

I really love the idea of someone pitching an idea to Vince so bad he just puts on his coat and leaves without saying a word.

LOL That would have been worse than Katie Vick. Thats beyond the impossible :wow:
 
I'm not surprised about Triple H cause I know about his reputation,But I didn't know he was really that bad(IF true)!,I agree he's a *****e with a capital D But I still don't think he's overrated.

Vince&Stephanie also seem to be even way more of a *****e than I thought!,LOL@Vince challenging that guy to a drag race then getting butt hurt when he was about to get beat and so he almost killed him.
 
I think what helps bring the crazy is that they are all in their own world. Vince, Stephanie, and Triple H are basically kings of a castle filled with yes men. They also don't really interact with the outside world all that much. It's rare (if it happens at all) for someone like Triple H to do an interview where he gets called out on the things he does.

I can believe some of it But most just seems so over the top&too crazy!!,A great read although#7 hurts IF actually true since I'm a HUGE Trips mark.

I've heard a guys who are wrestlers on other boards talk about the inside of wrestling politics, and this doesn't sound too far off from what they're saying. There apparently are a lot of big egos in power with wrestling, and it's supposedly been that way for a while now.

What makes me laugh is that Vince got up and walked off at the suggestion of that one storyline with the Nazi goose stepping, but somehow the Katie Vick incident got through.
