More Draft Analysis

While I found the draft special to be very enjoyable, this was more due to the matches and promos than the draft itself. The draft format, I felt, was flawed. In its haphazardness, it wasn't even as much of a draft as it was a random transfer of wrestlers. I mean, there's no way that Torrie Wilson or The Boogeyman even come close to cracking the top ten in a real draft. I would've liked to see a series of matches between all the top superstars, where the loser in eligible for the draft. By the end of the night, there would be 10-15 stars eligible and then representatives (The Coach, Teddy Long, etc.) would draft as if it were the NFL or NBA. This would give them the chance to retain their show's top guys or gamble and try to steal talent from another show. If this plan were implemented, I think it'd be more exciting than anything we've seen in years.

The McMahon angle is a very interesting one, and reminds me of The Attitude Era. The website is filled with all these articles about McMahon's death, the "Feds" searching through WWE Headquarters in Stamford, and the firefighters not finding his body -- and I love it. It sounds like something Vince Russo wrote and smacks of the time when storylines dominated the wrestling scene.
