hiroko is the 11th, lest there be confusion.
odd that the "entirely random" draft swapped many of the sports biggest names, but the trade featured ... well... not.

Is there a pro wrestler who hasn't held a championship?
Fuck.

Looks like Raw cleans up again. Jindrak and Chavo are both talented and could fit nicely into the Intercontinental mix. Dupree might fit there also. He's better than Grenier anyway. Come to think of it, this also puts Conway into the singles mix. He at least has sound fundamental skills. Kenzo might be best served teaming with Tajiri, at least for now. There's a shortage of exciting tag teams right now. Not sure what they'll do with Basham. Anytime you break up "brothers" like this it's hard to come up with a good storyline. And Smackdown gets... Um, a chick with big boobs and every shitty midcard wrestler Raw had. That about sum it up? I thought so. 
Bring on the ladies!

It's in the union contract. Everyone gets to be a champion. This week's champion...an inaminate carbon rod!

actually talent wise, Smackdown got the better deal. Raw got Chavo. Smackdown got Regal, Nova, and Steven Richards. Smackdown wins. Not that it matters, because both shows will still have the same shitty creative teams and will still suck.

Oh, by the way, with no cruiserweight division on RAW, say hello to new Heat regular Chavo Guerrero! You can also expect him to job to whatever face on RAW Vince will be cramming down our throats in the near future.

Ok,they might be talented,but when has WWE used them correctly?
Richards has been little more than a glorified jobber since he signed with the company.

Not really that odd.
Why would the GMs wanna give up big names voluntarily?
Thats why I thought the HHH trade last year was ridiculous,and made no sense for Smackdown to give him up voluntarily!

Not long ago I asked why Hassan and Diavari count as one pick, but now it kinda makes sense.

Because in this eleven person trade, talent wise they did get the better deal. They got three talented wrestlers to Raw's one. That's not hard to figure.
I don't rate the other people traded, so I don't count them.
And as I said: Utimately it doesn't matter, because the creative on both shows sucks ass.

True, creative does suck ass. In fact, I am still mystified as to how the ECW thing turned out so well when everything else sucks donkey balls....

surely it's because they let Heyman & co. actually do it, instead of the WWE people.

Yes, and they should make Heyman head booker, 'cause he knows his shit. Gerwetz and Nipple H (the official WrestleCrap.com nickname for Steph) know bupkiss. Stephanie actually though "Matt Hardy, Version One" would never get over, the dumb bitch.

From what I heard, one of the creative writers just left RAW this past Monday. Now if one of us could get their foot in the door and take over creativity for the WWE, it'd be perfect
