Sorry about the delay , I had some serious system problems that I needed to address so I’m behind on where I wont to be . Limbo is the word as we wait on what the hell the WWE is going to do with the draft after a very lackluster Wrestle Mania . My cheeks get real clinched when I hear the word draft when it gets associated with the WWE. This is the time when they can make great strides toward improving their product, but they rarely do. They usually screw things up and spend the next year trying to fix it.

The announcer situation in this years draft is one of the few things that peaks my interest . JR isn’t getting any younger and with the sudden departure of Taz , the WWE announcer situation is in some what of a state of flux . They went to a three man team for WM25 and JR has gone from play by play to doing color . The key to this is what are they going to do with Matt Stryker . Stryker is clearly the best of what they have other then JR and his talent is wasted on ECW. What I hope would happen is they put him on Smack Down as the play by play guy and pair him with somebody who knows what he’s doing .

Getting down to actual wrestlers , HHH to Raw I think is a no brainer . He has been a good soldier going to Smack Down and he will be rewarded. Like wise for Cena going back to Smack Down. Cena is much more Kid friendly and that’s why he and Rey Mysterio would be a better fit on the kid friendly show.

I don’t think that what few tag teams they have are going to get split up. If their going to let the Colon brothers hold unified belts , they will need good teams to have feuds with . While Priceless is next up on that list, I have a feeling that the Miz and Morrison are going to get split up and Morrison will get another singles run on another show. While this will probably be a good thing for Morrison, it might note be such a good thing for the Miz . The chick magnet might get buried losing his partner and being stuck on ECW.

As far as the Hardy’s go, I would really like to see Jeff go back to Raw . Unless they are going to dump this Brother vs. Brother thing and have them go after Christian and edge Jeff is a better fit on Raw and Matt needs to be on his own to flesh out what he wants to be. Whether this happens or not is any ones guess.

As far as the women go, it has been leaked that one of the Barbie Bitches , as I like to call them , Maryse is moving to Raw and Melina is moving to Smack Down . While this isn’t confirmed, its probably a good idea to separate Maryse and Michelle McCool. Melina and Gail Kim run down the road would do be something that would go a long way towards upgrading the Diva’s on Smack Down.

Finally , I think there will be a title swap of sorts tonight. As I said earlier Rey Mysterio will be going to Smack Down . I also think that MVP will be going to RAW, something they should have done last year. The big question is what to do with the titles booth of them are wearing. The simple answer is send the IC title to smack Down and moving the U S title to Raw . If they could do it for the big belts , why not for the next level down.

Well as I write this it’s a little over three hours to go till the show. Like I said it isn’t really anticipation , more like dread that you just know their going to do something really stupid. Lets keep a good thought .
