How would you draft?

It's that time a year again. It's "Time to shake things up," as Vince McMahon would say. It's obvious the draft was pushed up in a hurry due to Edge's retirement. That leaves Smackdown without a champion and short another main-eventer. So, how do you expect the draft to play out? Obviously, some big names are going to have to be shuffled around. Either that or the WWE is going to have to put it's faith in a mid-card or young wrestler and hope they can run with it. Maybe someone like Dolph Ziggler or John Morrison?

That being said, i do expect that a big name or 2 be moved. Smackdown needs some help and RAW has some main-eventers. In addition, i think it might be time for some people to step up. There is no reason that Kane or The Big Show shouldn't be able to main event or carry a title again. The WWE should be able to turn to veteran form champions in times like this to help bail them out. But they haven't, won't and can't. It's still a "Big Man" company, but if the fan can't see 72 abs and every vein in your body, you're not the right type of "Big Man."

So, who goes where? It's really hard to say, especially since the draft is being rushed. It was actually supposed to be delayed until after Summerslam at last report. It looks as if the WWE has hit the panic button here with Edge leaving. And... well, they should. Edge isn't going to be replaceable in-ring and in feuds. His ring savy, crowd control, performer skill and overall charisma is Hall of Fame material. That doesn't just get replaced. If someone could replace that internally, they would already be main eventing. The talent pool in the WWE is thinner than Jessica Alba.

Main event wise, RAW has John Cena, The Miz, C.M. Punk, Randy Orton, John Morrison, Dolph Ziggler and HHH. Morrison is a stretch, but he is in the main event for the next PPV and has been in Elimination Chamber main events as well. The problem is that every main-eventer i mentioned is in a feud with another main-eventer already on RAW with the exception of Dolph Ziggler. So, do these feuds get prematurely ended? Does Ziggler get sent back to Smackdown after just arriving on RAW?

I feel like a main-event face has to go to Smackdown, whether they are currently a face or if a wrestler has to switch. Dolph turning on Vicki has been hinted at in the past and could set him up to face Del Rio as a face. Does RAW really want to lose any of it's other stars of feuds? They've actually done a better job than usual in building some of these feuds. It would be a shame to watch them end prematurely.

But what do you think? Who would you draft to what show? Give me your lists! Your ideas! Post your comments in our "The Wrestling Genius" group on facebook!

I don't know how the WWE fills the hole that Edge left with his retirement. I don't know if they can. But i do know one thing. The WWE could use one person now more than ever. He "saved us" once and he could do it again.

Save us, Chris.
