2008 Running Pro Wrestling Thread

I'm watching the draft episode on RAW right now at work.

So far:
To Raw: CM Punk, Rey Mysterio, Michael Cole (??)
To Smackdown: Jeff Hardy, Jim Ross (??)
To ECW: Matt Hardy

What's the point of switching announcers? And second, that sucks because I much prefer JR to Cole. Not that Cole's bad, because I don't think he is, but in my mind JR is the gold standard of wrestling announcing and I watch more RAW than Smackdown. Speaking of which, when did Mick Foley join the Smackdown announcing team?

Looks like we'll get a CM Punk vs. WWE Champ match at some point in the near future. Maybe this is the main event push for him people have been predicting for so long.

As for Mysterio, he just adds another face to the growing list on RAW. Don't see what that move accomplishes since Smackdown is more geared to younger kids and Latinos. The Jeff Hardy move makes sense in my mind. He should be a good fit on that show. And apparently Matt Hardy pissed somebody off to get sent down to the minors.

 

How terrible is Mike Adamle? Is he even watching the match in front of him?

 

Looks like ECW is getting screwed again. Instead of dicking around with them they should just get rid of ECW completely. Most of their wrestlers are found on Smackdown more often than wrestling on their own show, anyway.

 

Kofi Kingston looking real good on JBL right now, but Bradshaw wins to give Kofi his second-ever loss.

I predict Kofi to Raw. But it's Kane instead.

 

Even though we know it's completely staged ... the winner was just in the audience.

Pretty cool.

 

DAMN on the Batista-Edge headbutt collision ... Batista is as red as his shirt.

 

Vince is trying to off himself again. Unbelievable. After the draft last year and now this year? Really? Can they be that short-sighted?

Oh, wait. Yes.

 

What the hell is this? Wrong timing, WWE. I thought the Vince death angle was already scratched.

 

Oh for fuck's sake. Vince has got to make himself the focal point as always.

Heyman's words to JBL from ONS a few years ago no longer stand:

"The only reason you were champ for a year was because Triple H didn't want to work Tuesdays!"

 

"Nice touch" for him yelling out to Paul - Triple H.

"I can't feel my legs." Eh, he's alive. Big whoop.

 

WTF is this?

 

Lame. That's what.

I feel betrayed for watching this crap for the first time in weeks ... and getting treated to crap.
