THE WRINGER REVIEW RATES THE DRAFT

By Michael LeBlanc on 6/12/2007 12:01 PM

Can Vince look any more “grandfatherly” than he did in his opening remarks tonight?

Why did Jesse Ventura look as if he were about to go out hunting?

Oh, great, a “jackass” of a show is invading one of WWE’s top four pay-per-views?

If this is Vince Appreciation Night, why are they showing clips of all his dastardly deeds?  Unless Vince wants to flaunt is evilness?

Did Foley’s latest book come out in paperback this quick?  Otherwise, why he is at Raw?

How much more rambling (and boring) could Foley’s promo have been?

Why did they insist on announcing that “the next match is for the next pick in the WWE Draft” for every match?...Aren’t they all for draft picks?!

Does Steve-O have his name like that because he wants to “be cool”?  Someone please tell him it’s not working!

As hot as Ashley is, I am so not in to the whole lip-pierced look!

During the Mae & Moolah segment, weren’t you praying (like me), “Please, Lord, don’t let a strap slip!”

Isn’t a Sheik promo (live or taped) just golden these days?

Isn’t it strange how they’re having a Vince Appreciation Night, and Vince, for all intents and purposes, can’t really “appreciate” all the work/shoot insults directed his way because he’s “gone off the deep end”?

Wow, did I actually see Bret cut a “new” promo for the company?  Did Satan just get chilly?

Bob Costas, WWE Announcer?!  I could never picture it!

“He (Vince) has the brain of a dehydrated BB” – Classic!

What the hell?  Vince enters his limo…and it explodes?!  So now are we getting a “who killed Vince” storyline?

I guess we now know why the entire WWE roster was at the taping, huh?

THOUGHTS ON THE DRAFT PICKS

Great Khali from Raw to Smackdown – Hasn’t Khali been drafted (unofficially or officially) more than anyone else in the last few months?  At least he’s back where he belongs – able to be post-produced on Smackdown!

Boogeyman from Smackdown to ECW – Great, yet another reason for me not to watch ECW!

King Booker from Smackdown to Raw – I love this move.  I hope (and according to the picture of him they put up, it’s true) “King Booker” returns, and it’s not just “Booker T”.

Chris Benoit from Smackdown to ECW – I love this pick too!  Can’t you just see it – Benoit vs. Punk?

Torrie Wilson from Raw to Smackdown – Is this so Torrie can now work with all the other non-wrestling (or should I say, “bad” wrestling) Divas?

Chris Masters from Raw to Smackdown – I couldn’t care less about Masters, so this move doesn’t bother me.

Bobby Lashley from ECW to Raw – I like this move, and it also creates the opportunity for a new ECW Champion.

Ric Flair from Raw to Smackdown – Wow, I never thought I’d see Flair drafted away from Raw (and Triple H), but this is a good move for them.

Gene Snitsky from ECW to Raw – I really don’t care for Snitsky, but seeing him not go to the taped show (Smackdown) is bad for us.

Mr. Kennedy from Smackdown to Raw – Smackdown’s loss is Raw’s gain.

Wow, it looks like Smackdown was the big loser tonight, and I’m not sure why they did it, especially with Mysterio, Kennedy and Taker still out.  I guess we’ll have to wait and see where it all goes.
