WWE Draft 2008 Picks #3, #4, and #5
WWE Draft 2008
We’ve already seen Rey Mysterio and Jeff Hardy move. As you already know tonight’s bouts will match-up two brands against each other. The winner gets the draft pick. More importantly, the Guy at Ringside Dressed like Hulk Hogan that was at every Michigan show a few months ago is back in the front row tonight in San Antonio!
Oh, and the Million Dollar Madness password tonight is Night of Champions.
Match/Draft Pick #3
Chavo Guerrero and Bam Neely (ECW) vs. Hardcore Holly and Cody Rhodes (RAW)
Holly hits an Alabama slammer and pins Chavo.
RAW Draft Pick: CM Punk
Draft Grade: B. So that’s who Rey Mysterio is going to fight. A lot of people seem to love CM Punk (I’m not one of them) so his promotion up to RAW makes sense; he’s been billed as a bigger star than the ECW stage provides. Is his presence going to make RAW better? Is his going to fight for those titles? Maybe. He can face Rey, Shawn Michaels, Y2J, and even Cena-Orton-HHH. Let’s hope he can step up to the challenge.
Match/Draft Pick #4
The Miz and Morrison (ECW) vs. The Hardy Boyz (SmackDown)
We have the Hardy Boyz together sooner than expected! It’s like they were never apart. They were meant to be a tag team. Still, Miz and Morrison have really improved as a partnership and this is a pretty good match. Morrison pins Matt Hardy with some dastardly tactics. Best match of the night so far.
ECW Draft Pick: Matt Hardy
Draft Grade: F. Not only does this choice stink but it also lowers the grade of every previous pick. I’m crushed. Matt doesn’t belong in ECW purgatory and he doesn’t deserve to be separated from his brother.
Match/Draft Pick #5
Mickie James and Melina (RAW) vs. Natalya and Victoria (SmackDown)
Melina gets hurt and both teams are DQ’d. Both RAW and SmackDown get draft picks.
SmackDown Draft Pick: Announcer Jim Ross
RAW Draft Pick: Announcer Michael Cole
Draft Grade: B I really liked both announcing teams and wasn’t sure if a change needed to happen. Nevertheless JR and Mick Foley should prove to be a very entertaining pair. The four announcers look shocked and have a hard time saying anything. Maybe the advance word was true and no one knew what was going to happen to their lives.
The truth is I’m putting my computer away for the night. I’ll watch the rest of RAW some time tomorrow. I’m sad and disgusted. I thought this Draft was going to bring change and new life to the WWE. Instead it seems like a reinforced status quo laced by vindictive decisions. Arrrggghh.
