Since I have a deep inside source with the WWE... I will tell you guys this... and you won't find this ANYWHERE else but HERE in these forums...

There will actually be 2 draft picks tonight from Smackdown...

And one of them...

Will be none other than...

R... V... D!

You heard it here first... TWO draft picks tonight!

 

[ToxicAdam]

If this isn't true you should be pelted with PUMICE stones.


Yes, Pumiced!

 

[WhippinSean]

It is true... RVD told my "friend". And now I am telling you guys. So if it's not true, I accept all the blame and riddicule... but if it is true...

I wish to be able to say whatever I want here and get away with it clean...

He just left Raw during the last draft.

 

[Outcast2004]

I dont count on RVD leaving.... his style doesn't fit on RAW. Besides, he'd just get buried yet again by HHH. Not much logic there.

I guess we'll all see, you'll also find out the Smackdown picks tonight too. Both are being taped back to back.

 

[bishoptl]

HHH won't have time to bury RVD again, he'll have his hands full keeping Cena down.

 

[Kabuki Waq]

well HHH definately is a better wrestler than cena (even tho he has the post marriage belly now) so i wouldnt mind cena being kept down.

 

[WhippinSean]

Yeah and Chris Benoit just left Smackdown like in 2003 spent about a year at Raw and is now back on Smackdown...

Well I hope my friend is right... I really do!

What do you hate white people or something, you want Cena to be kept down that badly?

 

[Bowser]

Umm, it's common knowledge that there are two draft picks tonight (actually four, since SmackDown! will be taped immeadiately after RAW tonight and SmackDown! also will be using their two picks).

 

[Kabuki Waq]

Cena hasnt even been close to entertaining since he said " Im smooth like Han Solo and Prince Albert is my Wookie" :lol There was just no possible way to top that line.


After that it was straight downhill.

 

[Outcast2004]

Cena's gimmick is dated and his in-ring ability is waning by the match.

Thats why the hate... and that GOD DAMNED STUPID, FUCKING SPINNING, PIECE OF SHIT BELT! ARGH!

"The Champ is Here"

 

[Almighty_Chocobo]

WWE is building up Cena to be too big.
He dominates every match he's in even when it's quite obvious that he can't wrestle worth a flip.

And his gimmick is played out.

 

[Bowser]

You can't deny that he's not popular though. I was watching Vengenace last night with two of my non-wrestling fan friends, and they both were REALLY into Cena. They said he just has the ability to pump you up and that the other two (Christian and Jericho) seemed boring.

 

[the_geche]

Yea Cena has charisma, mic skills, and a gimmick that many people can relate with. He's probably gonna be the Hogan of this generation, a guy over with the fans and casuals but hated by internet smarks because he's not a technical wrestler and doesn't try to be a Bret Hart...

There's already a Hogan of this generation, he's called Stone Cold Steve Austin.

 

[WhippinSean]

I disagree... Stone Cold could actually wrestle and did all kinds of matches.

Oh and John Cena knows how to wrestle really well, remember his first match on Raw against Kurt Angle, when he beat him? He seriously has a lot of technical skill, it's just that he chooes not to do that because right now he can just actually be himself more than a Bret Hart or Angle wannabe. I think he just would rather use his own style, that street fighting style... I mean how many fucking mat wrestlers do you need, or technical ones for that matter? And there are far worse wrestlers but nobody ever complains about them ( Undertaker, HHH, Booker T and so on )

 

[jobber]

There's already a Hogan of this generation, he's called The Rock.

Fixed

 

[the_geche]

The Rock and Austin were more apart of the last era of wrestling. I think this is the very beginings of a new era, and Cena will be the forefront...

yeah, John Cena was a great wrestler in OVW as "The Prototype," but as this snippet says, he's had to adjust his in-ring work to the "WWE Style":

Cena's in-ring ability has been something fans try and pick apart since his main-event push, but anyone who saw him in UPW as "The Prototype", knows he is better in the ring than he comes off as on WWE television every week. This has a lot to do with the fact that with the "WWE style", Cena is obligated to get many of his babyface spots over in the match, play to the crowd a lot with his poses and other gimmicks, among many other little things that effect his overall performance in the ring from bell-to-bell.

Like his finishing manuever that he puts no effort into? Would it kill him to drop down along with his opponent to make the FU look at least somewhat believable? It looks about as effective as a scoop slam.

*shivers at thought of his match at WM XXI*

 

[Lyte Edge]

Credit Dave Scherer of PwInsider.com:

"The latest rumor surrounding Raw tonight is that Big Show & Rey Mysterio will be the two Smackdown! Superstars who are traded. Again, this is only a rumor at this point."

 

[Guzim]

EDIT:

Damn you Lyte Edge!

 

[Shard]

Like I am going to believe anything Milord has to say. Anyway, I think the correct draft picks will be "Wait and See."


Also, what exactly is the Smackdown world title situation?

 

[Bowser]

Also, what exactly is the Smackdown world title situation?

Current rumors suggest that Batista will be drafted to SmackDown! and that the 6-man match is a swerve and will become a #1 contender's match for Batista's title.

 

[Shard]

That makes sense condiering the other options are to strip Cena of the World Belt or to have a third champion.

It didn't help that his opponent at WM XXI was High Quaility Speaker Boy.

 

[StoOgE]

I expect someone who is drafter will be part of a trade.. I think they will use that stip at some point.

 

[StoOgE]

they could also create a third title (the smackdown championship) and then have Batista/Cena face off to combine the belts creating the WWE heavyweight championship belt... cementing Raw (and its champ) as the top dog of the WWE.

 

[WhippinSean]

I WAS RIGHT!!@

NO OTHER SITE ON THE INTERNET EVEN PREDICTED OR RUMOURED RVD... BUT I SAID IT WAS TRUE FOR SURE...

FUCK YOU ALL!!

 

[Shard]

Oh god RVD is going to try and put two thoughts together, the English language is now experiencing several body blows

 

[themadcowtipper]

Why did RVD go anywhere near a mic......

 

[WhippinSean]

what the hell? RVD ban on the mic? Are you crazy? Guess you never watched ECW at all...
