[quote name='tangytangerine']That will be nice if they keep the Hardys together and put them in a feud with those two.

BTW, I'm guessing that the mystery man for tonight's KOTM match is Abyss. They're going to stick him in there cause of Christian and since the match thursday never finished.

*Edit- They're sending Kenny to Smackdown.[/quote]

I also think Abyss will be the mystery man in the King of the Mountain match. I don't really expect him to factor in the match much though. I think we will see the debut of James Mitchell's new guy and that guy will take Abyss out of the match.
 
Interesting that London and Kendrick get to go together as a single pick, although I wouldn't be surprised if London is released soon. Between performing the banned Shooting Stars and the goofy grin on his face on Raw, he's been extremely a few times in the past couple of months.

Really!?!? Jesus Christ, by the time they're done with Smackdown, it's gonna be the leprechaun, Tony Chimmel, and 3 members of the ring crew.
 
ok now im pissed...

Pick No. 4: Raw selects The Sandman
Exit Love Machine…enter Sandman.
Just minutes after Raw plucked Big Vis from Raw, ECW lost an Original to the flagship, as The Sandman has been selected by Raw.
The cane-swinging crowd favorite will now bring a touch of hardcore to the flagship, as he leaves behind fellow Original Tommy Dreamer for his first full-time trip outside the Land of the Extreme.
Will Sandman thrive in an environment outside of his comfortable extreme habitat? Will he perhaps share some Steve-weisers with Raw’s resident suds-swiller, Stone Cold? The answers will lie ahead as Sandman joins Bobby Lashley and the deranged Snitsky as the third man to move from ECW to Raw.

His Cheshire Cat grinning, during that surreal McMahon's last walk, was hysterical.

TNA just announced on the "Road To Slammiversary" special that Abyss vs Tomko is added to the PPV.
 
[quote name='mykevermin']When *is* RVD's contract up with the WWE? I know he's done with tv, but if his contract is up...


...wishful thinking, I know. I know.[/QUOTE]
Mid to late July was what I heard a few months back.
 
Hardcore Holly goes to Smackdown

Upon his return, the tough-as-nails veteran will instantly become a top contender to both the United States and World Heavyweight Championships, and he may still even have a few bones left to pick from his previous time on SmackDown.

beat to it by sporadic


Pick No. 5: SmackDown selects Hardcore Holly
ECW may be the Land of the Extreme, but SmackDown is now the home of Hardcore.
With its second pick of the Supplemental Draft, SmackDown raids the ECW by selecting Hardcore Holly. Holly, who is currently out rehabbing after elbow surgery, will soon be returning to the brand where he made his home for four years prior to his ECW stint.

I was hopeing Davari would stay on Smackdown for the cruiserweight division. I'm also aggitated about Sandman.

Would it not make Sandman seem important if ECW used a pick to get him back? I think that could go along way to repair his rep.
 
[quote name='Demolition Man']:puke:

I can't wait to read what our resident Miz hater Myke has to say....[/QUOTE]

I don't think I'm alone in hating Miz. I get a giant kick out of JBL's treatment of him on SmackDown, and I left an OVW show early a couple of months back when he came out to the ring, making sure that I let him know I was leaving because he was wrestling (while it was a convenient lie, because I was meeting my wife to go somewhere). Can't say that I *hate* him, truthfully. I don't like him, of course, but he very frequently is just way off my wrestling radar; when I see him on tv, though, I think "aww, crap, the Miz." Very different from Lashley, because he's been prominently featured on WWE programming for half a year, so I dislike him *far* more than Miz.

Man, something about today's draft just screams "oh, boy, it's the WWE draft of people nobody fucking cares about!"
 
[quote name='Genocidal']Miz to ECW. No, I'm not kidding.[/quote]
Probably to get away from JBL bashing the hell out of him every chance he got. Hopefully Tazz will take up the task with the bashing now.

*Edit- The Major Brothers are going to Smackdown. Probably cause ECW has a non-existant tag team division.

The draft online is supposed to end at 4:00, so there's still more to come.
 
[quote name='OnyxPrimal']Pick No. 8: SmackDown selects The Major Brothers[/QUOTE]

Man, those American Males motherfuckers need to get the hell offa my OVW television set. Fearless Jack Bull is back; "Bad Seed" Shawn Osborne is back (until he broke his orbital bone in May - ironic, given that he played a "I'm blind, but not really" heel gimmick); Colt Cabana is in OVW...and none of them were on TV set this week.

WAAAAAYYYY too much Mike Kruel recently. I love his gimmick, but he's really been too much of a good thing recently. I'm starting to dread the sight of him.

If you look at OVW's roster, they're pretty stacked right now. I'd expect to see some guys, like Paul Birchall, Jacob Duncan, or Jay Bradley get called up sooner than later. Bradley's pretty good in the ring (he's a recent transplant from Deep South); he has a build like JBL, and a solid brawling style. He's -okay- on the mic, but all the more reason to bring back fucking managers.

I thought it was obvious that the mystery man was Double J? Hm.. maybe I'm wrong. Regardless, I'm definitely looking forward to the PPV.

Of course it is! If anyone fucking cared about these guys it would have been on Monday night. :) I just wonder if there will be a "Trade Deadline" as in years past.
 
I think a previous post I made got ignored so I'll repost it this time in all caps:

TNA ANNOUNCED ON THE ROAD TO SLAMMIVERSARY THAT ABYSS VS TOMKO HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE PPV!!!!
 
[quote name='OnyxPrimal']Of course it is! If anyone fucking cared about these guys it would have been on Monday night. :) I just wonder if there will be a "Trade Deadline" as in years past.[/QUOTE]

Trade #9: Raw selects Harvey Whippleman
Trade #10: ECW selects Jonathan Coachman
Trade #11: Smackdown selects Chuck Palumbo
Trade #12: Raw selects Batista
Trade #13: ECW selects a tray of deli sandwiches

As for OVW: http://www.ovwrestling.com/superstars.htm It's been updated with profiles for guys like Cabana, and they also added Ace Steel (who hasn't been on TV yet). I may drive down to Louisville next Friday for a show - Mr. Kennedy will be there, and Santion Boris Marella Alexiev will be wrestling Antoni Amish Pulaski Roadkill.

Demoman, I saw your post the first time. My reaction is still the same. "Tomko?"
 
[quote name='mykevermin']Trade #13: ECW selects a tray of deli sandwiches[/quote]

That's literally how this is going, all the crap (and poor Benoit) is being sent to ECW.

So far they've landed top notch superstars (outside of Benoit):

1. The Boogeyman
2. Viscera
3. The Miz
4. The tray of Deli Sandwiches

They've lost:
1. Lashley
2. Snitsky
3. The Majors Brothers
4. Sandman
5. Hardcore Holly

Even using "WWE logic" I can't see how that adds up.
 
I'm still hoping they'll send Batista to ECW. The guy's as dull as a 20 minute promo between the Miz & MVP.

I'm actually rooting for Edge to win at Vengeance, so Batista's out of the title picture.
 
Well let's look at this logically... who are the most worthless wrestlers on Raw & SD now? That's who else will get drafted to ECW. So, Shannon Moore and Eugene are almost certain to be going to ECW.
 
Palumbo has been wrestling dark matches here and there lately, using a biker gimmick.

Jillian Hall goes to Raw, the tray of deli sandwiches should officially be up next.
 
Well, I was right about Eugene moving, just wrong about where. So, ECW only gets 3 picks? Thus far they've lost the Majors, Holly & Sandman for the Miz & Viscera... ya, I suppose that is fair. Watch them "balance it all out" by giving ECW Shannon Moore back next.
 
Wow, they really really need to move CM Punk or Elijah Burke off ECW... can't believe they passed up the chance to really make CM Punk huge, but instead are moving Sandman and Hardcore Holly?

Now we can see CM Punk wrestle such amazing stars as Viscera and The Miz... what a waste of talent :puke:
 
Alright, here's the final scorecard and all 23 picks.

RAW

Gains:
1. King Booker
2. Bobby Lashley
3. Snitsky
4. Mr. Kennedy
5. London
6. Kendrick

10. Jillian Hall

Don't know if anyone saw it, but another change to the TNA PPV according to NODQ.com

Rhino/Harris vs. LAX is now Rhino/Senshi vs. LAX.
 
[quote name='guyver2077']nitro to ecw!!!!!

wtf so they seperated him from kenny and melina?[/quote]

Supposedly Nitro and Melina are no longer an item backstage, so draw your own conclusions. Kenny & Nitro were your typical WCW thrown-together temporary tag team for when the writers didn't have anything better for the two. That generally fails horribly, although that is how we got the Hollywood Blondes. I'd have put Nitro back on SD and Kenny on ECW, but it is nice to see ECW get someone decent.

Looking at the full draft, you can clearly see Raw won and SD lost big. What Raw did to warrant Londrick today, is beyond me, but here they are. ECW maybe broke about even, when you factor in how much Sandman was getting used at this point anyway, although they did get the Miz, so that's minus 5 points. Then Holly to SD is addition by subtraction for ECW.
 
I think Nitro on ECW is pretty good if only for the time he'll spend against C.M. Punk and Benoit. Benoit can really help Nitro get to that next step. He'll get more time on the show also, which is good for him.

Dunno if this interests you, but I was browsing magazines the other week, and some sort of hipster 20-something art/culture magazine called "Swindle" had a 4-5 page article on PWG this month.

ECW may have broken even, but if you look at their roster, there is not a goddamned soul to care about outside of Punk and Benoit. What a pitiful, pitiful show.

While they're certainly in better shape than Heat or Velocity was, this ECW is a far cry from the WWECW they started off with that included the likes of Kurt Angle and The Big Show, both of which were never replaced. Plus ECW lost RVD & Sabu. With no help from the draft, one would have to look at ECW as a glorified OVW now.
 
This "draft" is just a reminder to all the smart marks that RAW is the main brand and everything else in the WWE world is just fifth rate to the main brand.

Ha, very cool. They were featured in FHM or Stuff or something a few months ago too.

Speaking of PWG, they've begun releasing names for the 2007 Battle Of Los Angeles tournament (past winners include Chris Bosh and Davey Richards). So far, 8 of the 24 names have been released, including Davey Richards, Joey Ryan, Chris Hero, Chris Bosh, Dragon Kid, Jimmy Rave, "The Anarchist" Doug Williams, and Susumu Yokosuka.

Myke, I could be mistaken, but were you listening to Brujeria a few days ago?

Chris Harris pulled from tonights Slammiversary match? TNA has changed the Rhino & Harris with Hector Guerrero vs. LAX match to Rhino & Senshi with Guerrero vs. LAX. This was announced last night on the Road to Slammiversary special.
