Just got through the Special WWE Draft. We're not even going to talk about the ending and the "explosive" consequences. I want to know who you think was the biggest star to move?
Raw gets: Bobby Lashley (w/out ECW Championship), Snitsky, Mr. Kennedy, and King Booker.
Smackdown! gets: Torrie Wilson, The Great Khali, Chris Masters, and Ric Flair.
ECW gets: Chris Benoit and The Boogeyman.
What will turn out to be the biggest move? Don't get me wrong, but it seems as though Raw was just further padding their roster. But Mr. Kennedy and Lashley heading over is a major coup. Once Kennedy, and to a lesser extent Booker, get healthy then the rich get richer.
How about the ECW Title? Will it be Benoit? Can he rise above to be the top of the ECW class?
Who was the biggest mover? Who got the best pick?
My vote is: long-term, Raw gets Mr. Kennedy; short-term, Raw getting Lashley, those are the biggest moves.

My take, I guess Bobby Lashley is the biggest move, he'll probably go for the WWE gold now... and as KB dude said, Khali will definitely be eying Edge and that will be so interesting because those two are so different..Benoit to ECW could turn out to be interesting too, it was so disappointing to see him lose the way he did on judgment day.., and Mr. Kennedy is definitely someone to watch out for.. Booker has been in the background for a while now, but I guess that would only be the setting for a good comeback..with all the shenanigans, he is a good wrestler.

Always been a big fan of Booket T, back with his days in WCW. It should be interesting, especially if the WWE drops this stupid King Booker character. They haven't renewed the trademark for it, it would be interesting to get back "Booker T". We'll have to wait and see.

ecw getting benoit is pretty big and great for them they need some big stars for that show and benoit will help them out big time. But I think that RAW got the biggest picks with king booker mr kenedy kenedy and Lashley they are stacked now when hhh and HBK come back but they needed some main eventers cause they were lacking with all the injuries they had and edge being moved to smackdown a few months ago. smackdown did pretty bad only draft pick I liked was ric flair he will deffintley help them out in the promo department.

Benoit is arguably the biggest name who wasn't originally in ECW ever to be in that brand. I think that he could do wonders for the brand and the youth there, much like he did backstage with mentoring MVP.
Raw really did make out. I thought they just stacked their deck even more. I mean, Mr. Kennedy and Booker T, when back from injury, should be amazing. I saw Mr. Kennedy mouth "this is my show" when he was drafted. And Lashley? Easily one of the top contenders for the WWE Title now.
You made a great point about Flair helping the promos on Smackdown. The wrestling might be better, but they were lacking in the promo dept. with Kennedy out.
Thanks for your response!

I would be worried about Khali, too... but I don't know if the WWE would make him a champion yet. He doesn't have the charisma to be a champion, it would be hard for him to cut promos and such. Same thing I thought about Umaga.
Thanks for your response!
