For those of you into wrestling and are currently not following it, the WWF is splitting the roster in two. One half will be on Raw, and the other half will be on Smackdown. Rick Flair and Vince McMahon lead them respectively. The first two picks were kind of suprising.
1st Round
Vince McMahon: Advoided the obvious choice of Kurt Angle and went with the Rock, this did not effect flair.
Rick Flair: Picked the Undertaker, and the Undertaker was infurious because Vince promised he would not get picked by Flair.
**Meanwhile, Kurt is complaining cause he wasn\'t picked first, boo hoo.**
What a great SHOW!!!
-
How much you wanna bet RVD goes higher than you think....
RVD rules.
-
RVD\'s my favorite wrestler. I mainly followed ECW in its day, so I remember most of his best matches. It\'d just be a shame if McMahon picks him. You can\'t put Mr. Monday Night on team Smackdown!
-
2nd Round
McMahon: Kurt Angle (w/ a little help from Angle)
Flair: NWO [Nash, Hall, X-Pac] (once again outsmarts McMahon)
Note: After this round I can see where things are going, Flair is grabbing the older wrestlers, and McMahon Grabbing the younger.
3rd Round
McMahon: Chris Benoit (ugg, well I knew he\'d be back)
Flair: Kane (flairs first mess up, supposedly to deal w/ the nWo)

::remembers the Sabu vs. RVD\'s matches and drools::

Yeah, those were great. *Sigh* I miss the ECW Days.
Well, RVD was taken in round 4 by Flair. So Mr. Monday Night will stay on Monday Night.
-
The RVD vs. Jerry Lynn match at November To Remember is my personel favorite.
Whenever i go to my gf\'s house i drive through battle creek michigan and smile.

I used to tape all the ECW PPVs. I have that November to Remember on tape actually. I\'ve relived that match several times over.

do you have the last one where rhyno won the championship?
if so we might have to work something out so i can get me a copy of that.

4th Round
McMahon: Hulk Hogan (change of pace, nice move McMahon)
note: Let me rephrase what I said earlier. McMahon is taking the more well known wrestlers, which would explain why Hogan broke from nWo. Flair is taking popular stars, just not icons.
Flair:Rob Van Dam (good move Flair, GREAT TALENT)
At this point, McMahon makes a match between RVD and Kurt Angle to try and bring the IC title to Smackdown.
Also, Hogan & Rock make a handicap match against nWo. (2.5 to 2)
5th Round
McMahon: Billy & Chuck (w00t! very worthy picks, Smackdowns ratings go up 200%)
(nWo vs. Hogan/Rock match, winners: nWo via DQ Kane interfears, cleans house)
Flair: Booker T (ehhh)
6th Round
McMahon: Edge (in retaliation to Booker T, Edge beat him at WM)
Flair: The Big Show (flair goes big)
McMahon also chose big cheeks Rikishi.

You know it. I actually didn\'t get it at first, since I saw it at someone else\'s house. When I found out that it was going to be the last PPV, I found a friend who had taped it, and made myself a copy.
-
7th Round
McMahon: Rikishi (that\'s one huge ass!)
Flair: Buh Buh Ray Dudley (whoops!)
8th Round
McMahon: D-Von Dudley (bwahaha, McMahon wins this round)
(whatever happened to the Rikishi vs. Regal match befuddles me, Brock Lesnar comes out and manhandles Rikishi, THROWS him around, literally. This guy lesnar is huge, but not much use since he\'s managed by Heyman :p)
Flair: After McMahon tries to steal Lesnar, Flair comes out and takes him instead.
9th Round
McMahon: Mark Henry (who? just kidding, the world strongest man)
Flair: WWF Euro Champ William Regal (would you like some tea and crumpits?)
Final Draft Round
McMahon: Maven (wants to get champions)
Flair: Lita (Flair wants lita, BADLY!)
That\'s it for the draft, the lotto will reveal the rest.

First of all, if they plan for this to go as they say, wrestlers only appearing on a certain show, then it will suck.
They split up the Dudleyz, which makes me think they\'re up to something.
And why the hell did they pick freakin Rhikishi when no one had even picked HHH or Y2J??? Or the Hardyz?
I smell a big RAW vs SMACKDOWN angle coming on.
-
they couldnt pick HHH or Y2J due to the Match, since HHH won he can float in between the shows while jericho gets drafted.

Knowing Stephanie, the new logo will consist largely of her breasts. She can\'t really stay away, afterall.

She sure is hehehe...
did u guys see Brock, take Rikishi up into the fireman, and pancake him with the ddt, damn he has some scary strength. He\'s awfully remenesent of Goldberg, with those gigantic traps, and the all black tights and boots. I can\'t wait to see him versus Spike Duddly, now that will be one hell of a booty whoop\'n.
