Well, this is my 200th post on Blogger. I know I'm the only one who reads it, but I love doing this. It gets all my ideas, rants, etc all out there. IF there are ANY other readers out there, thanks for reading this horrible grammar and spelling.
Anyway, in WWE news, there were more draft picks and some were pretty big. Smackdown's big picks were Daniel Bryan, DiBiase, Tyson Kidd, and the United States Champion Sheamus. Smackdown is going to PROSPER with all this new talent. Bryan could feud with Rhodes in what could be an amazing series of matches, Sheamus/Christian could happen for the World Title, and Kidd and DiBiase might finally gets the pushes they deserve. Do I smell a Legacy reunion coming? Anyway, I fully expect Sheamus to be the top heel of the brand and to finally feud with the Undertaker eventually. Smackdown is going to be just fine now that they have Orton, Bryan, and Sheamus.
Raw's big picks were Swagger, Drew McIntyre, and Kofi Kingston. I'm only excited for McIntyre to be quite honest. I'm a big fan of his and I think a McIntyre/Cena feud is coming. That would really boost his career. Kofi helps fill the void of Orton leaving Raw and he should be a contender for Miz's WWE Title. Swagger, meh, I don't know. Raw's looking a little weak after the draft. There are WAY too many heels on the show with Miz, Punk, Del Rio, Swagger, Nexus and McIntyre. Somebody has to turn face pretty soon. I am looking forward to all the newcomers getting a chance to face Cena though. He can really push someone's career.
Smackdown is now in possession of both the Intercontinental and United States Titles. Is that a sign for Raw? If Del Rio wins at Extreme Rules, whoever wins the main event WILL be WWE Champion on Raw. Could it really happen? Once again, I'll have all my predictions for ER on Friday and SPOILERS, once again, I want Del Rio, Miz, Rhodes, and Punk to win, but I know Superman Orton is going to win and Mysterio needs to look strong going over to Raw, so I'm not optimistic for them. Come back on Friday for the predictions.
Overall, this draft was the most balanced of all the previous drafts. Smackdown was built up with some big stars in Orton and Sheamus and in up-and-comers in Bryan and DiBiase. Smackdown's future looks bright. Raw also benefited in the draft by getting an experienced veteran in Mysterio but also getting some of Smackdown's best young talent in Del Rio and McIntyre. Cena has a lot of new guys to run through now and it will be interesting to see who he faces first.
