WWE 2008 Draft Pick

The World Wrestling Entertainment has just held it's annual Draft Pick. And as usual, no one was exempted from that Draft, Superstars, Announcers, Divas and even Champions now has a chance to shine in their new brands.

This years biggest turnaround for the WWE Draft was Triple H, the WWE Champion being drafted from Raw to his new brand Smackdown, right from the start Triple H was the flag bearer of WWE's banner show Monday Night Raw, and I know many have thought that it will stay that way, but now The Game was drafted to Smackdown still the WWE Champion. But I'm sure Triple H will always be on the top of his game and his addition to the Smackdown roster will keep the brand better. And the latest about Triple H, he will defend his WWE Championship against Edge at The Great American Bash.

Now on the side of Monday Night Raw, The Animal Batista is back where his career started as Evolution's Animal. I thought Batista will never get drafted to Raw because John Cena is there, unless John Cena will get drafted to Smackdown, because this two are the new blood of Pro-Wrestling, they should be in separate brand, but now both of them are working under the same banner. Another fast rising Superstar CM Punk is now working for Raw. And he shocked everyone after cashing in his Money in The Bank against Edge and he is now the New World Heavyweight Champion.

Other Superstars drafted were Carlito, Mr Kennedy, Big Daddy V, Shelton Benjamin, Jeff Hardy, Umaga were drafted to Smackdown. Chuck Palumbo, Kofi Kingston, Rey Mysterio and Kane are now on Raw. While Finlay, Hornswoggle now on ECW.

Another huge turnaround is the jump of long time Raw announcer Jim Ross to Smackdown and Smackdown's Michael Cole to Raw.

I'm sure this Superstars will never be the same again, because each WWE brands has different environment, Raw is a Live TV show, while Smackdown and ECW are taped. Good Luck to them.
