Corey Clayton – Welcome everyone to the 2008 WWE Supplemental Draft Live Blog!
11:46
Corey Clayton – I’m Corey Clayton, your moderator for today’s blog. With us today to analyze the Draft picks are WWE.com editors Lennie DiFino and Craig Tello.
11:47
craigowulf –
hello, WWE Universe
11:47
Lennie DiFino – Hello all!
11:47
The Fink – Where’s my introduction. huh???
11:48
Corey Clayton – And, our “Mel Kiper” of the WWE Supplemental Draft, legendary ring announcer and wrestling encyclopedia, Howard Finkel
11:49
[Comment From Garrett]
Hey Fink you are the man!
11:49
The Fink – Thank you, Corey, and hello to everyone around the world. This should be most interesting today
11:50
Corey Clayton – Just some information on today’s Draft that we’re learning from the Draft HQ … we’ll be bringing you the picks live as they happen.
11:50
craigowulf – If I may add, Howard has been WWE.com’s No. 1 Draft pick this year.
11:51
The Fink – Thank you Craig..I am prooud to be associated with all of you
11:51
Corey Clayton – Also, we’ve learned from Draft HQ that all Superstars drafted on Monday are exempt from today’s proceedings.
11:51
Corey Clayton – So there will be NO draft-backs, so to speak.
11:51
The Fink – Well, that should make things even more interesting
11:52
The Fink – In looking at the poll, ECW seems to have a landslide of fan support for help. What do you guys think?
11:52
Corey Clayton – And of course, all of today’s Supplemental picks could have huge implications on Night of Champions, this Sunday, only on pay-per-view.
11:52
Lennie DiFino – I agree with the poll
11:53
[Comment From MR X]
So HHH is not going back to RAW?
11:53
Corey Clayton – We’re about 8 minutes away from the first pick announcement from Draft HQ.
11:53
The Fink – To me, ECW really did not fare all that well overall this past Monday night. Raw and SmackDown did. So perhaps ECW gets better this afternoon; we shall see
11:53
[Comment From pumfrey]
can’t wait for this woohoo
11:53
craigowulf – I think that ECW took a substantial hit with the loss of Mr. Money in the Bank CM Punk to Raw on Monday night. They picked up the U.S. Champion Matt Hardy, but could stand to gain some Superstars this afternoon.
11:54
[Comment From Andrew]
how are the draft picks determined?
11:54
Corey Clayton – The only information we have from Draft HQ is that the picks are completely random.
11:55
[Comment From Spades]
is Fink eligible for the draft?
11:55
[Comment From neil greenwell]
even divas
11:55
[Comment From J]
diplomatic answer
11:55
The Fink – Not quite, Spades 🙂
11:55
Corey Clayton – I think Fink is exempt
11:56
Corey Clayton – Live bloggers are exempt from being drafted ….. good news for Lennie and Craig 🙂
11:56
The Fink – Darn It!
11:56
[Comment From Hollywood JW]
Fink who do you thing gained the most this past Monday?
11:57
[Comment From Lady Luck]
how long will this draft be??
11:57
craigowulf – I’d like to see some movement between certain tag team partners. It may be unpopular, but I’m always a proponent of breakout Superstars who begin in tag competition, then go on to excel in singles competition.
11:57
The Fink – Wow. To be honest, I thought that SmackDown eeeked out the “victory”, per say. Awfully close between Raw and SD, but man for man, SD came away better than they started
11:57
Corey Clayton – We’re expecting the Supplemental Draft to last approx. 3 hours today.
11:58
[Comment From Aaron]
I agree, Smackdown got the best deal in the main draft.
11:58
[Comment From Cleveland]
I believe it was 4 hours last year.
11:58
[Comment From jeremy]
wow, three hours. thats a long time
11:58
[Comment From Patrick]
how do we watch it?!?!?!
11:58
Corey Clayton – Just stick with us here, Patrick, we’ll bring you all the picks and commentary to go along with it.
11:58
The Fink – But as we move along today, I will be interested to see how things shake out
11:59
craigowulf – There will be no video, but WWE.com will be posting the information live as it becomes available from WWE Officials.
11:59
Corey Clayton – We’re two minutes from the first pick of the Supplemental Draft …. waiting for the call from Draft HQ
11:59
craigowulf – ECW! ECW!
11:59
The Fink – The anticipation
11:59
Corey Clayton – HERE WE GO…..
12:00
craigowulf –
The World’s Strongest Man! He brings not only 400 pounds of girth and hostility, but a focus on the ECW Title.
12:00
Corey Clayton – The first pick of the 2008 WWE Supplemental Draft….. ECW receives MARK HENRY!
12:01
[Comment From shredder]
thank god ecw gets someone
12:01
[Comment From Tiger]
+400 pound for the land of extreme
12:01
[Comment From Raymond]
this is awesomee
12:02
craigowulf –
This means that the ECW Championship could come back to the Land of the Extreme this Sunday. As we all saw last night on ECW, the ECW Championship Match is now Triple Threat: Kane vs. Big Show vs. Mark Henry.
12:02
Corey Clayton – That’s a lot of mass in that title match! Can the ring hold it all?
12:03
craigowulf – At Night of Champions, Mark Henry could capture the gold and take it away from Kane – who took the gold to Raw in Monday’s Draft.
12:03
Lennie DiFino – SmackDown just lost one of its biggest threats
12:04
The Fink – Interesting. Nice to see ECW get first dibs. Not bad. Henry is a ring veteran, and adds a lot of power and strength to their side. He will be a force to be reckoned with. Makes this Sunday’s now Triple Threat Title Match that much moer interesting, with an ECW Superstar vieing for the gold as well.
12:05
Craig Tello – As another member of the WWE Universe just pointed out, it seemed that Mark Henry might pop up in ECW, especially given the last few weeks.
12:18
Craig Tello – Jamie Noble to Raw!
12:19
Craig Tello – What many folks don’t realize is that Noble is extremely crafty.
12:20
The Fink –
A good get for Raw..Dependable, always gives an optimun effort in the ring. I like the move for Jamie
12:20
Craig Tello –
Coming to Monday Night Raw is a big opportunity for Noble to step it up and compete for, say, the Intercontinental Title.
12:20
Craig Tello – Alas, Jamie Noble leaves behind his friend Michelle McCool…
12:21
Craig Tello – …but there are still plenty of other Divas for him on Raw.
12:23
Craig Tello –
Fink, do you think Noble is pleased to have ditched Chuck Palumbo?
12:23
The Fink – I think that Noble is gonig to take a deep breath , and give it his all on Raw..So yes I do
12:24
Lennie DiFino – “Why Vickie Guerrero Why”
12:25
Craig Tello – And, what about the singing redneck Trevor Murdoch bringing his vocal talents to SmackDown!?
12:25
Lennie DiFino – I cannot wait to see how Murdoch flies solo!
12:25
Corey Clayton – Sorry about the technical difficulties everyone. I don’t think our software supplier has ever had a crowd this big before 🙂 But we’ll make due.
12:25
Craig Tello – Especially after the ugly breakup between he and tag partner Lance Cade, this is Trevor’s chance.
12:26
The Fink – I absolutely LOVE this move! I blogged last week that I thought Trevor should go to ECW, but SmackDown will do. The split with Lance Cade was good, and now he moves on. Mark my words, in time I feel that Trevor Murdoch will be a major player for SmackDown…
12:26
Corey Clayton – Just to recap …. The second pick of the 2008 WWE Supplemental Draft….. Raw receives JAMIE NOBLE
12:26
Craig Tello – Maybe he can sing at Edge and Vickie’s wedding on July 11!
12:26
Lennie DiFino – Murdoch may be a burly guy, but he moves so well and is willing to take risks in the ring.
12:26
Corey Clayton – The third pick of the 2008 WWE Supplemental Draft….. SmackDown receives TREVOR MURDOCH
12:27
Corey Clayton – Fourth pick coming up in 3 minutes … you can see the picks live on the front-page Draft ticker on WWE.com
12:27
The Fink – The name of the game to me for Trevor is identity. He can wrestlem no doubt, but the more we fins out about him, personality-wise, that will go along way to establishing him..Sing away, Tervor!!! 🙂
12:28
The Fink – excuse my spelling, folks
12:28
Corey Clayton – I see big things for Murdoch, especially in the singles ranks on SmackDown.
12:28
Craig Tello –
I personally enjoy his singing…I’d like to hear him hit a contemporary note, though. Maybe something by Kanye West.
12:28
[Comment From Cleveland]
Trevor Murdoch=Next World Heavyweight Champ
12:28
[Comment From Keith]
Can people already drafted get redrafted or traded?
12:28
Lennie DiFino – That would be solid gold!
12:28
Corey Clayton – As previously stated, no one drafted on Monday can be re-drafted today in the Supplemental Draft.
12:28
[Comment From Matt]
meh, trevor to smackdown….He’s movin on up! To the delux B-show in the sky-y-y! lol
12:29
Corey Clayton – Nice singing Matt.
12:29
Corey Clayton – But with SmackDown having 2 World Champions on the roster, it’s FAR from a B-show.
12:29
Craig Tello – good call, Corey.
12:29
Lennie DiFino – Agreed.
12:29
[Comment From james]
mr.murdoch needs a change to get the rcognition he deserves
12:29
Craig Tello – SmackDown is actually dominant right now, if you ask me.
12:30
Craig Tello – next pick coming up!
12:30
Corey Clayton – Pick No. 4 is at the podium…..
12:30
Corey Clayton – The fourth pick of the 2008 WWE Supplemental Draft….. SmackDown receives BIG DADDY V
12:30
Craig Tello – The Dominating Force, ladies and gentlemen! How many Superstars have been squashed by this mastodon?
12:31
Corey Clayton – The goliath is now wearing blue!
12:31
Craig Tello –
I just hope V likes Trevor’s singing!
12:31
Lennie DiFino – Blue suspenders?
12:31
Corey Clayton – My question: Will Big Daddy V and Umaga be able to co-exist in that locker room without killing each other?
12:32
Craig Tello – I’m a little disappointed because I would’ve liked to have seen Big Daddy V vs. Mark Henry on ECW.
12:32
Craig Tello – but Umaga will make do!
12:32
[Comment From Matt S]
Big Daddy V. It doesn’t matter what show he’s on. Put on a shirt.
12:32
[Comment From josh]
hmmm i wonder what kind of a rivalry he may have with umaga
12:32
Lennie DiFino – Big Daddy V vs. Umaga though?
12:32
[Comment From james]
great pick for vickie to use as a bodyguard
12:32
Craig Tello – I wonder if he will be bringing Matt Striker with him…?
12:33
Corey Clayton – Any way you look at it, that’s a “big” pick for Team Blue.
12:33
[Comment From John]
no way striker’s ego and intelligence would co-exist with la familia
12:33
Craig Tello –
We haven’t seen Big Daddy V in action for a while, but when he returns, it’s going to be PAINFUL for SmackDown’s finest.
12:33
[Comment From Cleveland]
Are You gonna give updates for how many minutes till the next pick?
12:33
Corey Clayton – Picks are announced every 10 minutes …. traffic on the fours and weather on the nines 🙂
12:34
Corey Clayton – That’s a little AM radio humor there….
12:34
[Comment From David]
lol, corey
12:34
[Comment From David]
Dream Match: BIG DADDY V vs. hornswoggle
12:34
Craig Tello – you missed your calling, Corey. 😉
12:34
The Fink –
Good for Big Daddy V. Here’s another individual who re-invented himself and got more “ooohs and ahhs” when he appeared in ECW. I like the move, and I beleive that BDV will make waves in SmackDown. For a man of his size, he is one of the best moving men in WWE.
12:34
Lennie DiFino – Al Roker ladies and gents
12:34
Craig Tello – How about Khali vs. Big Daddy V!
12:34
Corey Clayton – Ouch David … that would be nasty for the little guy.
12:35
[Comment From David]
well, if matt striker doesn’t go, it will be good for striker to advance as a competitor rather than a manager
12:35
[Comment From John]
eh, Triple H was funnier at the Wrestlemania XXV press conference
12:35
Craig Tello – Striker is good at whatever he does – in the ring or pulling the strings.
12:35
Corey Clayton – WATCH: Matt Striker’s Best WWEek, Worst WWEek for June 21, 2008
12:35
Lennie DiFino – Striker’s intelligence lets him adapt to anything.
12:35
The Fink – Now this also opens up antoher avenue….Matt Striker ….He can jhopefully concentrate now as a competitor for ECW
12:36
[Comment From Kerry Burke]
The SD! roster just keeps getting better and better!
12:36
[Comment From Stevie]
SD got stronger again, Murdoch and BDV set up the midcard nicely.
12:36
[Comment From The Storm]
Big Daddy Vs time is now
12:36
[Comment From Lee]
Striker should stay on ecw..they need all the teaching they can get
12:36
Craig Tello – Speaking of humor…The Game might have it, but wait till you see Striker’s Best WWEek, Worst WWEek.
12:36
Lennie DiFino – SmackDown is really stealing the Draft
12:36
[Comment From jeff]
how are you guys seeing where people are going?
12:36
[Comment From Alevyn]
Matt Striker for RAW GM, THATS MY VOTE!
12:37
The Fink – Agreed Lennie, but it’s still early
12:37
Corey Clayton – We’re getting calls from the Draft HQ, plus the front-page ticker on WWE.com has the latest picks as well.
12:37
Craig Tello – Striker for WWE Chairman (now that Mr. McMahon seems to be a little indisposed)
12:37
[Comment From Tyler]
How about Big Daddy V vs. Jim Ross – BBQ eating contest!
12:37
[Comment From Himalayasplaya]
I think Matt Striker and Santino would make a great team
12:37
[Comment From douglas]
do you think striker is now a contender for the us championship?
12:37
Lennie DiFino – Put a little BBQ Sauce on it!
12:38
The Fink – I disagree Himalaya. They would be like oil and water…talk talk talk
12:38
Craig Tello – Speaking of JR…SmackDown certainly earned itself a winner in the WWE Hall of Famer, but I’m very excited to see Michael Cole on Raw.
12:38
Craig Tello – (or at least hear him)
12:38
Corey Clayton – Striker has come a long way since his WWE debut. I think, on any night, he’s a threat to steal a victory from a champion.
12:38
Craig Tello – I think Big Daddy V enjoys his BBQ.
12:38
Lennie DiFino – I think Cole is under appreciated as an announcer.
12:38
Craig Tello – Cole is the real deal.
12:39
Corey Clayton – The next pick is at the podium….. Pick no. 5
12:39
Craig Tello – you ever eat JR’s BBQ Sauce, Corey?
12:40
Corey Clayton – The fifth pick of the 2008 WWE Supplemental Draft….. Raw receives DEUCE!
12:40
Corey Clayton – Wow …. big split up there!
12:40
Craig Tello – What the Deuce?! The 50s boppers are split!
12:40
The Fink – Well, here’s your first tag team split!! And to be honest, I do not know what to expect. Deuce as a singles competitor? Untested, unproven, unknown. I’ve got a blindfold on for this one, folks. We shall see how things progress here with Deuce…
12:40
Craig Tello – looks like I got my wish
12:41
Corey Clayton – J.R. has never sent me any BBQ Sauce to sample. However, I have plenty of JBL’s 418 Energy!
12:41
[Comment From Nia]
DEUCE NO WAY
12:41
[Comment From Irondawg]
finally i hated them
12:41
Craig Tello – With Duece being “all about cool”, it will be interesting to see if he can get along with Carlito (who is a frequent judge of what is cool/not cool).
12:41
The Fink – What does my hungry and thirsty panel think?
12:42
Corey Clayton – It’s the curse of Cherry … ever since dumping the roller girl, they’ve had bad luck. If you can call hanging with Maryse “bad luck”.
12:42
Lennie DiFino – I think Deuce needed a fresh start, especially after the 5 month losing streak he and Domino went through
12:42
[Comment From Alexandre Costa]
Deuce on Raw unbeliveable
12:42
[Comment From 4rch4ngel]
i kind of saw something happening with them because they didn’t get along to well
12:42
[Comment From jamie mchuire]
i thought he should have gone 2 ecw
12:42
[Comment From Alevyn]
Duece is a 2nd generation wrestler
12:43
The Fink – Again, it’s a new opportunity as a singles competitor for Deuce. We shall see what happens!
12:43
[Comment From ABC]
This is to bad i was a huge fan of duece and domino maybe Duece will be a good Singles competitor.
12:43
[Comment From Tyler]
Cherry has gone really far since they left her, so it was at least good for somebody.
12:43
[Comment From RatedStephen]
I think WWE Made a big mistake. Their tag team divison isn’t that great these days, and now they split Deuce N’ Domino. What is going to happen now?
12:43
[Comment From nick]
JR and Mick Foley will be a legendary duo!
12:43
[Comment From BTW]
Well, goodbye Deuce n Domino………
12:43
Lennie DiFino – Yeah I agree Tyler, Cherry really has been impressive.
12:44
[Comment From Pieman]
it a shame the tag division is getting smaller. i think we might see some decents matches from cade and deuce though. two up and comers getting a chance to shine. it also throw deuce right into some form of title contention.
12:44
[Comment From Joe]
Which one is Deuce, I always forget??
12:44
Corey Clayton – Deuce would say he’s the better-looking one, I believe 🙂
12:44
[Comment From D-Dub]
so now who is from the other side of the tracks?
12:44
The Fink – May I say something here to those commenting about the tag teams?
12:45
Lennie DiFino – Please do Howard
12:45
Corey Clayton – So, that’s two picks to SmackDown (Trevor Murdoch and Big Daddy V), Two to Raw (Jamie Noble and Deuce) and one to ECW (Mark Henry)
12:45
[Comment From Nate]
Yes you may, Finkinator.
12:45
[Comment From Charlie]
divas draft! divas draft!
12:46
[Comment From frankie the hitman]
now that mark henry got drafed to ecw henry i think henry will win the ecw title at night of champions
12:46
The Fink – Whatever happens happens today. I love tag team wrestling like the next person, but I wonder at this time what Deuce is thinking, as well as Domino. Will they feel bad about the break-up, or will they both feel excited about the new challenges that await? Remember, Domino is notr a singles competitor, at leats for the moment!
12:47
The Fink – Domino is a singles competitor as well, correction
12:47
Corey Clayton – My question: Who gets the classic car?
12:47
Lennie DiFino – Maryse?
12:47
Corey Clayton – Lucky lady!
12:47
[Comment From sebastian]
deuce looks like that guy from grease
12:47
The Fink – I guess she is with Domino for now…
12:47
[Comment From Jacob]
Not happy about this
12:48
Corey Clayton – Two minutes to the next pick …
12:48
The Fink – Cheer up Jacob, it will all work out for you!
12:49
Corey Clayton – Quick commercial, then we’re back with the next pick….
12:49 [Video file] WrestleMania XXV Play
12:49
The Fink – Corey, what’s for lunch? Did you order food for me, Lenny, and Craig?
12:49
Lennie DiFino – Lennie!!!
12:49
The Fink – Lennie
12:49
Lennie DiFino – HAHA
12:49
[Comment From john]
im happy with it there both good superstars
12:50
Corey Clayton – The sixth pick of the 2008 WWE Supplemental Draft….. SmackDown receives DH Smith.
12:50
[Comment From D-Dub]
atleast yout not lanny poffo
12:51
Lennie DiFino – Wow. DH Smith to Friday Nights
12:51
[Comment From Chris]
guess hes not Dibiase’s mystery partner…
12:51
[Comment From jeremy]
WOW! the son of a bulldog is on smackdown!
12:51
[Comment From JR]
DH will thrive in Smackdown!
12:51
[Comment From SAMURAI]
DH SMITH’s Time to Shine!
12:52
The Fink – Well, I do not know how to react to this pick, There is an awful lot of good potential to be tapped from the son of the British Bulldog. I can only hope that SmackDown will afford him the opportunity that I feel he richly deserves. I am partial to second and third generation superstars 🙂
12:52
[Comment From Joel]
DH Smith will be a good addition
12:52
[Comment From Robert]
That’s surprising…I thought DH Smith was gonna stay on Raw and be apart of Ted Dibiase’s stable!
12:53
Craig Tello – What stable? Ted DiBiase has a stable of one.
12:53
Corey Clayton – That was the rumor buzzing …. a “priceless” rumor at that.
12:53
Craig Tello – Two, if you count his father, “Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase
12:53
[Comment From Dickesoj]
I would have preferred ECW but good get him off Raw and let him shine!
12:53
[Comment From Randy]
Now I wonder who will be dibiase’s partner.
12:53
The Fink – Ted DiBiase does not have a stable..Unless he owns some horses
12:53
Lennie DiFino – Zing.
12:53
[Comment From Yoshijitsu]
Woot! I like that move. =]
12:53
[Comment From Mike Power]
Cool, great pick
12:53
[Comment From Mark]
Good pick for smackdown
12:54
Craig Tello – I don’t buy into rumors like that — they’ve been wrong too many times.
12:54
[Comment From Mama Luigi]
What does DH stand for?
12:54
The Fink – One thing I want to say about DH,,,,,I think he should take a more aggressive approach to his wrestling style to be successful. Kind of a “whatever it takes to win” motto.
12:55
Craig Tello – Drafted He’ll succed..?
12:55
Corey Clayton – By the way, welcome everyone to the 2008 WWE Supplemental Draft Live Blog on WWE.com and WWE Fan Nation!
12:55
Lennie DiFino – I agree Howard. He needs the fire that made his father a legend to get ignited.
12:56
The Fink – So, lets recap:
ECW: Mark Henry
SmackDown: Trevor Murdoch..Big Daddy V…DH Smith
Raw: Jamie Noble..Deuce…
Advantage to who, Gentlemen:
12:56
Corey Clayton – You’re here with WWE.com editors Craig Tello and Lennie DiFino, as well as legendary ring announcer Howard Finkel, talking about the latest Draft picks, bringing them to you live as they happen.
12:56
Lennie DiFino – SmackDown
12:57
Craig Tello – …airs on Friday night, Lennie.
12:57
The Fink – This Just In by the way:
12:57
[Comment From Smack Raw Down(Hagai)]
Smackdown sure god the advantage! only big daddy is 3 mans!…literally
12:57
Lennie DiFino – SmackDown has the edge so far., Craig.
12:57
The Fink – Will Mr. Smith now change his name to:
S D H SMITH?
12:57
Corey Clayton – SmackDown as won big today and on Monday night
12:58
The Fink – Bad one..Went there:)
12:58
Craig Tello – I’m partial to Raw…
12:58
Lennie DiFino – You would be!
12:58
Craig Tello – so I’m optimistic about Monday night’s acquisitions: Rey Mysterio, CM Punk, ECW Champion Kane, and Batista. Huge picks.
12:58
[Comment From Ben]
i dont even think my comments go through
12:58
[Comment From The Showstopper]
he really didnt do much on raw so i think smackdown is just what he needs to get a good push
12:59
Corey Clayton – BTW…. we’re getting almost 10,000+ comments from all the fans watching this Supplemental Draft Live Blog. I apologize that we can’t get everyone in.
12:59
Craig Tello – Well, at least DH won’t be receiving another one of JBL’s Clotheslines from Hell any time soon…unless Layfield is lured back to SD today!
1:00
[Comment From Mama Luigi]
Can we put The Fink in the HOF please!!!
1:00
Craig Tello – I’m beggin, Mama Luigi.
1:00
[Comment From The General]
Smackdown continues to get stronger…… JR will make the show so much better to watch to, no offense to Micheal Cole.
1:00
Corey Clayton – The next pick is at the podium…..
1:00
Corey Clayton – The next pick is at the podium…..

Lennie DiFino – Beggin ya
1:01
Corey Clayton – The seventh pick of the 2008 WWE Supplemental Draft….. ECW receives HORNSWOGGLE!!!
1:01
The Fink – ECWoggle! ECWoggle ! ECWoggle!
1:01
Craig Tello – Whoa! They’ve torn the Irish family apart.
1:01
[Comment From The Showstopper]

Lennie DiFino – Now, Hornswoggle can be used as a weapon in Extreme Rules Matches
1:01
[Comment From Smack Raw Down(Hagai)]
Wow fink you sure do alot of tricks with the names
1:01
Craig Tello – Glad they celebrated Father’s Day together, while they could.
1:02
[Comment From The Showstopper]
good one lennie XD that ones funny
1:02
[Comment From Smack Raw Down(Hagai)]
OMG,POOR FINLAY AND HORNSWOGGLE!D=
1:02
Lennie DiFino – HAHAHAHA
1:02
[Comment From Smack Raw Down(Hagai)]
and i bet ecwoggle is not happy
1:02
Craig Tello – Hornswoggle-on-a-Pole Match, coming your way at the next One Night Stand!
1:02
[Comment From The Showstopper]
i wonder what they’re going to do with hornswaggle on ecw. And what about finlay???
1:02
[Comment From jo bill]
i think that mark henry will eat him
1:03
Craig Tello – I think he’d have severe indigestion.
1:03
Craig Tello – and a funny color on the way out…
1:03
Corey Clayton – Realistically, what are Hornswoggle’s chances of surviving in the ECW locker room without his protector?
1:03
Lennie DiFino – hahaha – Tello on fire
1:04
Craig Tello – Hornswoggle can’t be too happy about this.
1:04
The Fink – I would think not.
1:04
Lennie DiFino – Poor little guy, he is really in the line of fire in ECW. Especially since Estrada will be gunning for him I am sure
1:04
[Comment From The Showstopper]
id say hornswaglle has no chance. in fact, he has no chance in hell!
1:04
Craig Tello –
He could always find a friend in Colin Delaney (who is about the same weight as Hornswoggle)
1:05
[Comment From Smack Raw Down(Hagai)]
Well we cant forget ecw gm teddy long,maybe he will think something to help hornswoggle
1:05
The Fink – And Colin is Irish as well!
1:05
[Comment From jo bill]
new hause under the ecw ring
1:05
Craig Tello – Now THERE’S a tag team!
1:05
The Fink – Good call, Craig…That is, providing Colin does not get drafted
1:05
[Comment From ReyFan]
So how can you say that you apologize for not putting all of us in when you keep putting the same people’s comments through? Not too fair if you ask me.
1:05
Craig Tello – establishing a Cruiserweight Tag Title?
1:05
Corey Clayton – We’re trying to get everyone in … again, my apologies.
1:06
Lennie DiFino – What are your thoughts on an ECW TV Title?
1:06
The Fink – It depends if it’s LCD or plasma
1:06
Corey Clayton – It’s a title with a great lineage … RVD held the title for 23 months back in its Philadelphia days.
1:06
Craig Tello – I would love to see another championship added to ECW. Raw has the Intercontinental Title…SD has the U.S. gold.
1:07
The Fink – Seriously, I am not an advocate of more titles
1:07
[Comment From The Showstopper]
well i think that would be a good idea. ecw needs some more titles
1:07
[Comment From Smack Raw Down(Hagai)]
SD HAD the U.S gold!now is from ECW
1:07
The Fink – I am probably in the minority
1:07
[Comment From Steve Mihalchik]
FINK. I love this years draft. I feel it is giving all the brands a fresh feel and opening a lot of doors for some. How excited are you?
1:07
Craig Tello –
Good call, Hagai!
1:07
[Comment From John]
No, I also agree that there are too many titles
1:07
[Comment From Mark]
Hornswoggle on ECW, that will be funny
1:08
[Comment From JustClassic]
Colin Delayney vs. Hornswoggle for the GOLD!!
1:08
Craig Tello – Matt Hardy took that with him to the Land of the Extreme!
1:08
[Comment From Emily]
HORNSWOGGLE FOR NEW FEATHERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
1:08
The Fink – I am one for change. It is always good to freshen things up, and that is exactly what is happening here today!
1:08
[Comment From Jay]
And the Hardcore title maybe
1:09
Craig Tello – I’d like to see ECW get more hardcore a little more often.
1:09
Craig Tello – if that includes bringing back the Hardcore Championship, I’m for it.
1:10
[Comment From French Fan]
HardCore Title with the 24/7 H Title defening that was so cool
1:10
[Comment From graant]
Cruserwieght title, ecw used to have some great high fliers and luchas
1:10
[Comment From Matt]
Bring back the ECW T.V. Title!
1:11
[Comment From rob]
I have to agree the tv title was a vital part of ecw back in the day.
1:11
[Comment From wildcat chris harris]
evan bourne would make a great cruiserweight champion
1:12
[Comment From WWEfrenchfan]
We want hardcore!!!!
1:12
Craig Tello –
How many matches has Evan Bourne even won so far?
1:12
Craig Tello – It’s a little premature to deem him champion material, no?
1:12
[Comment From Woggletoextreme]
i liked the time limit title matches
1:12
[Comment From The Dork Knight]
Sadly, the titles they have they aren’t using effictively.
1:12
[Comment From Chadness]
Hornswoggle for ECW champ!
1:13
[Comment From Dave]
ECW needs the ECW World Title back most importantly. The ECW champ needs to be on ECW.
1:13
Corey Clayton – Agreed Dave.
1:13
[Comment From Sharon]
Bring back the Hardcore Title!
1:13
[Comment From Brandon]
how about the wwe fan nation chapionship where the decide who they defend it against?
1:13
Corey Clayton – Great idea Brandon!
1:14
Craig Tello – Now, there’s an idea.
1:14
Lennie DiFino – I want that title
1:14
[Comment From Sheena]
Worked well on Cyber Sunday, so why not?
1:14
Corey Clayton – Next pick is at the podium…..
1:15
Corey Clayton – The eighth pick of the 2008 WWE Supplemental Draft….. ECW receives SUPER CRAZY!
1:15
Craig Tello – That’s Super!
1:15
Craig Tello – Len…
1:15
[Comment From Eddie]
drum roll….
1:15
Lennie DiFino – Thats Crazy!
1:15
Craig Tello – thank you.
1:15
Corey Clayton – That’s Crazy!
1:15
Corey Clayton – That’s Crazy!
1:15
Lennie DiFino –
1:16
Craig Tello – It’s SUPER Crazy, Corey…sheesh.
1:16
Craig Tello – Someone mentioned the high-flying luchas on ECW just moments ago…your wish has been fulfilled!
1:16
The Fink – This could be the best move thus far of the supplemental draft. ECW is where Super Crazy needs to be! He is going to excel there!! Mark my words..Going to ECW is going to rejeuvenate Crazy…..He WILL be a key player there!!!
1:16
Corey Clayton – The extreme luchador is back home in ECW!
1:16
[Comment From Chad]
Super Crazy returns to his roots
1:16
[Comment From Perrinho]
yeeeaaaa
1:16
[Comment From james]
maybe ecw is going back to its roots finally!!!!
1:16
[Comment From Chadness]
Super Crazy!!! 🙂
1:16
[Comment From Kennedy Rules]
Super crazy returns to ecw!!
1:17
Lennie DiFino – Super Crazy was a huge part of ECW back in the day
1:17
Craig Tello – Remember that moonsault he did that time? Who’s seen that clip?
1:17
The Fink – And again, Lennie, I truly believe he will be a huge part as well now!
1:17
Corey Clayton – I remember a great match at the old ECW Arena between Nunzio, Super Crazy and Tajiri, where Super Crazy ended up in our row after one crazy springboard plancha.
1:17
[Comment From Shinomune]
ECW is Super Crazy!
1:17
[Comment From nickD]
he is super! he is crazy! he is ecw!
1:17
[Comment From ocwrestler23]
How many ways can amadele mess super crazy up
1:18
[Comment From Chadness]
ECW just got Crazier!
1:18
The Fink – Guys, yesterday is gone. Today is what matters. And don;t you all feel that Crazy is gonna thrive in ECW as it is today?
1:18
Craig Tello – Adamle: “Super Gravy”
1:18
Lennie DiFino – Adamle: “Supper Craving”
1:18
Craig Tello –
Super Crazy is going to bring an unbelievable energy to the Land of the Extreme. Can’t wait to see his first night on ECW on Sci Fi.
1:18
Corey Clayton – One Night Stand 2005 was Super Crazy’s suicide plancha from the balcony onto the Full Blooded Italians.
1:19
[Comment From Kennedy Rules]
adamle: super gravy with that leg kick
1:19
The Fink – Let me say something else…
1:19
Craig Tello –
And I’m sure Crazy is Super excited for his move!
1:19
[Comment From Eddie]
this is what ecw needed. to get a more original feel from the old days!
1:20
Corey Clayton – Nunzio and Super Crazy should have a great rivalry renewed.
1:20
[Comment From Eddie]
we’re on the clock for the next pick
1:20
The Fink – Motivation is a very important word, and let’s face it: Super Crazy was not burning up any building on RAW. That is why he has to be doiing cartwheels right now in Mexico City towards this draft move!
1:20
[Comment From Chad]
Kofi and Super Crazy should team up as “Jamaican Me Crazy”
1:20
Craig Tello – definitely, FInk.
1:20
Craig Tello – HAHA!
1:20
Lennie DiFino – HAHAHA
1:21
[Comment From ocwrestler23]
Adamle needs to meet the Boogeyman
1:21
Craig Tello – Chad earned himself a pop…Fink, give the guy his due!
1:21
The Fink – P O P!!!
1:21
Craig Tello – Adamle needs to be WORMED by Boogeyman.
1:21
Corey Clayton – Next pick is due up at 1:30 …. I think the Draft HQ is eating their lunch….
1:21
Craig Tello – Oh, I miss Boogey. Sigh..
1:21
[Comment From Kennedy Rules]
Adamle: hes super…hes gravy…hes the super gravy and he comes from mexico…unos dos adios
1:21
Lennie DiFino – I dont know, there could be worms.
1:21
The Fink – What about you, Corey? What’s for lunch?
1:22
Corey Clayton – You buyin’ Howard?
1:22
The Fink – Lennie, Cragi, and myself are waiting for the sandwiches you promised us
1:22
The Fink – Craig
1:22
Corey Clayton – Quick commercial break … we’ll be right back with more!
1:22
Lennie DiFino – Filet Mignon!

Craig Tello –
I’d prefer some sorbet.
1:22
Craig Tello – So, which pick are you most thrilled with thus far today?
1:23
The Fink – Me: Two
1:23
Craig Tello – I’m still diggin’ Mark Henry’s move.
1:23
The Fink – Trevor Murdoch to SmackDown and Super Crazy to ECW
1:23
Lennie DiFino – I am pumped for Murdoch to SmackDown

[Comment From Hall93]
Duece to RAW 🙂
1:24
[Comment From Sheena]
I like Super Crazy to ECW, that’s a great fit. I also like D H Smith to Smackdown, that’s another good fit.
1:24
Lennie DiFino – Deuce I think will shine too
1:24
[Comment From Kennedy Rules]
can cena still be drafted in this thing? or y2j?
1:24
Craig Tello – This is what I always love about the Supplemental Draft…it gives all Superstars involved the chance to refresh their careers and refocus. I can’t wait till this all goes into effect.
1:24
Corey Clayton – All Superstars drafted on Monday night are exempt from today’s Supplemental Draft.
1:25
Lennie DiFino – I would love to see Cena on SmackDown
1:25
Craig Tello – ..but I would like to see Raw snag one more diamond in the rough from SD or ECW. (not to be greedy, but..)
1:25
[Comment From Chadness]
Evan Bourne better not get drafted away from ECW!
1:25
[Comment From ocwrestler23]
Cena on ecw

Corey Clayton – WATCH: Santino’s Casa for June 20, 2008
1:26
Corey Clayton – Who’s today’s Daily Diva? Find out now…
1:26
Craig Tello – Howard, when you make your 25th straight appearance at WMXXV next year, do you see any of these Draft picks as potential championship contenders?
1:26
Corey Clayton – WATCH: Miz and Morrison on “The Dirt Sheet” for June 21, 2008
1:27
Craig Tello – And for the record, Awesomo, I don’t think the Shaman of Sexy would appreciate Deuce infringing on the Palace of Wisdom.
1:28
The Fink –
At this stage of the game Craig, I do not know,. I want to see how things shake out before I can expertly discuss
1:28
[Comment From Awesomo]
They probably gonna give Deuce the John Morrison type role
1:28
Corey Clayton – Gotta let me post his comment first, Tello 🙂
1:29
[Comment From ggny]
hmm no divas have switched brands yet…Could we see some divas moving soon?
1:29
Corey Clayton – I’m surprised as well GGNY, some of the Divas would greatly benefit from new surroundings.
1:29
Corey Clayton – The next pick is at the podium …. pick No. 9!
1:31
Corey Clayton – With the ninth pick of the 2008 WWE Supplemental Draft….. Raw receives CHUCK PALUMBO!
1:31
Craig Tello – Raw better widen its ramp for the revved up Superstar’s motorcycle!
1:31
The Fink – Well, Craig…I guess you spoke too soon…Jamie Noble ain’t ditched him yet!!!
1:31
[Comment From ocwrestler23]
POOR JAMIE NOBLE
1:31
Lennie DiFino – “Dang Chuck”
1:31
Craig Tello – hahah…
1:31
[Comment From Ronn E. Dee]
Chuck to Raw. zzzzzzzz
1:31
[Comment From brandon]
raw and smackdown have the same ramp.
1:32
Craig Tello – ouch! Chuck haters in our midst.
1:32
[Comment From Johnny!]
Wow. He’s got a temper, the RAW locker room better give him a wide berth.
1:32
[Comment From KLeM]
Jamie Noble must be like : “come oooooon”
1:32
[Comment From Esgueb]
Cool
1:32
[Comment From b]
chuck needs to focus on that ic title now that he’s on raw
1:33
[Comment From japheth]
ughh this aint good
1:33
Lennie DiFino – Is Chuck IC Title material? Or is he aiming higher?
1:33
The Fink – Chuck is a superstar that has been around for awhile, and the current Chuck Palumbo we’ve seen is the best one to date. Now a Raw Superstar, I see him surprising a lot of folks.
1:34
Corey Clayton – By the way …. I’d like to take this time to wish Mr. McMahon best wishes for a speedy recovery from injuries suffered in that accident on Raw. He’s in all our prayers here at WWE.com HQ.
1:34
[Comment From person]
chuck could be easily champ or ic , wwe, or heavyweight
1:34
The Fink – For Chuck, here comes that word again…motivation…I think he’s going to do just that with the new opportunity that was just presented to him via the draft!
1:34
[Comment From NBP]
RAW is Palumbo!
1:34
[Comment From Miguel]
Poor Vince, that was sad.
1:35
[Comment From neil greenwell]
IT WAS SAD
1:35
Craig Tello – I think Chuck needs to spend less time spinning his wheels and more time asserting himself in the ring.
1:35
[Comment From Josh]
the vince thing was surprising
1:36
[Comment From MotherHen]
Chuck – WWE champ? Are people sersious?!
1:36
[Comment From Keiji Mutoh]
there is no chance in hell vince mcmahon is gunna let an injury sideline him
1:36
Craig Tello – We are still awaiting an update on Mr. McMahon’s condition…
1:36
The Fink – Good point, Craig!
1:36
[Comment From Terry J]
Poor Vince blown up last year now this and where was Hornswoggle last night i wonder
1:36
Corey Clayton – That update is expected this Monday night on Raw.
1:36
The Fink – All the best to the Chairman!!!
1:37
[Comment From Emily]
I cannot wait until monday!!
1:37
[Comment From ECWoggle]
Adamle attacked Vince. Bank on it.
1:37
[Comment From Mike Maher]
I bet you the lady who won the 2 dollars a few weeks ago put revenge on Mr. McMahon! =P
1:37
Craig Tello – I think the Chairman had other things in mind when he said it was “time to shake things up again”…he didn’t mean the Raw stage. that was horrible!
1:37
[Comment From John Zandig]
Palumbo is good for business
1:37
[Comment From Raven]
Corey Clayton to ECW
1:37
Craig Tello – That’s not extreme…believe me.
1:37
Craig Tello – 😉
1:38
Corey Clayton – I do swing a mean trash can 🙂
1:38
Corey Clayton – Next pick is coming to the podium now….
1:38
Lennie DiFino – Yes to dump bags of McD’s in!
1:39
[Comment From Jacob]
i think the people hate me cause none of my comments are being posted NONNE
1:40
Craig Tello –
And, rest assured…Jan had nothing to do with Monday, Alex.
1:40
Corey Clayton – With the tenth pick of the 2008 WWE Supplemental Draft….. SmackDown receives BRIAN KENDRICK!
1:40
Craig Tello – another tag rift!
1:40
The Fink – This one I have mixed emotions on…..As a tag team, London and Kendrick have been always there, always fluid and competitive. They complimented each other so very well. Brian going back to SmackDown should be interesting, especially from a Cruiserweight standpoint. I alwwys how London and Kendrick would do in singles competition, now we’ll all find out!
1:40
Corey Clayton – With the tenth pick of the 2008 WWE Supplemental Draft….. SmackDown receives BRIAN KENDRICK!
1:41
Craig Tello – Kendrick is a fantastic competitor–I love watching him in and Paul London. I’m sorry this had to be the team that got split by the Draft.
1:41
Craig Tello –
But it actually opens doors for both Kendrick and London as singles competitors
1:42
Lennie DiFino – They both needed this.
1:42
The Fink –
Guys…This is an interesting selection….How will not only Brian, but Paul fare in singles competition?
1:42
[Comment From Richard Dickson]
Yes! Yes! Kendrick is back where he belongs, he never really suited on RAW along with Paul London.
1:42
[Comment From Miko]
C’mon i want Divas to draft.
1:42
Craig Tello – that’s a big loss for Raw’s tag team division, too
1:43
Lennie DiFino – The tag division on Raw was looking stronger until this
1:43
The Fink – Any thoughts on my last question Craig, Lennie, or Corey?
1:43
Lennie DiFino – Brian Kendrick will rise to the occassion
1:43
Craig Tello – This leaves a fairly large gap on Monday nights…Cryme Tyme is left with a big chance to snare World Tag Team gold.
1:44
Craig Tello – I think Paul London and Brian Kendrick will BOTH succeed on their own.
1:44
The Fink – By the way…Corey ordered lunch for us Craig and Lenny. He told me we’ll like what he ordered
1:44
The Fink – Should be here any minute
1:44
Lennie DiFino – London has a great chance — he has been great as a singles competitor before
1:44
The Fink – Lennie
1:45
Craig Tello – former Cruiserweight Champ, right?
1:45
Corey Clayton – I think London and Kendrick better start studying the Rey Mysterio playbook on how to become a cruiserweight singles specialist. I have to worry about their endurance as singles competitors, since they’ve been part of teams for so long.
1:45
Craig Tello – Fink?
1:45
Lennie DiFino – Yes. A great champion.
1:45
The Fink – Yes, CT!
1:46
Craig Tello – maybe London will bring back his Shooting Star Press!
1:46
Lennie DiFino – I love the Shooting Star Press
1:46
[Comment From clarkie]
londrick oh no , my fav tag team
1:46
[Comment From FxFrenikk]
Perhaps London will be drafted too
1:46

London/Palumbo seems like an interesting matchup.
1:48

London rocks
1:48
[Comment From JJ]
Maybe Ted DiBiase’
1:48
The Fink – Hey Craig, Lennie: Did you get your lunch from Corey? What a pal!! He went all out., spared no expense!!
I mean, we each got an item from the 79 cent value menu at the Bell of Taco….
$ 2.37 totel spent!
Thank you, Mr. Clayton
1:48
Lennie DiFino – Cheap……
1:48
Corey Clayton – That’s a hard-earned $2.37 spent…. hehe
1:49
[Comment From Trev]
For goodness sakes, lets keep the DECENT TAG TEAMS together.
1:49
Craig Tello – That’s one Stone Cold Stunner headed your way, Corey.
1:49
Lennie DiFino – Kendrick vs. Hardy would be great
1:49
[Comment From Matt B.]
Do you think a Kendrick/Hardy matchup would be interesting?
1:49
Craig Tello –
i’d like to see London get a fresh start, too…maybe beside Super Crazy on ECW.
1:49
[Comment From Ad]
Kendrick finally gets away from being beaten down by Umaga every week. And then gets drafted straight back to be fed to him. Small world isnt it…
1:50
Corey Clayton – With the 11th pick of the 2008 WWE Supplemental Draft….. Raw receives MATT STRIKER!
1:50
Craig Tello – Exceptional!
1:50
[Comment From Alex Wright]
I hope Kendrick doesn’t get beat around on Smackdown
1:50
[Comment From GabrielBorges]
London vs Mysterio, what a great match that would be
1:50
Lennie DiFino – Go ahead, Craig.
1:51
Craig Tello – This is a tremendous acquisition for Raw….even though I miss the argyle days, Striker is a top-caliber Superstar with so much potential.
1:51
The Fink – Interesting pick for Raw…..This is one fellow that will definitely take this opportunity and “stir the pot” , per say.
1:51
Lennie DiFino – Potential is the key word for Striker. He can go as far as he wants
1:51
Craig Tello – you have to wonder, though, if Striker will be playing the role of master manipulator – a manager – or in-ring warrior.

1:52
The Fink – Craig, I agree about the potential he has, and now is the time to show it. I think that he can be a valuable player in the Raw landscape.
1:52
The Fink – And I will even say this…
1:53
Craig Tello – one of the smartest individuals to ever step foot in WWE
1:53
Lennie DiFino – Absolutely he is Craig
1:54
Lennie DiFino – I thought he said smallest too.
1:54
[Comment From KennedyLover]
So striker is drafted for competition right? Not as a management position? Or we don’t know yet?
1:54
[Comment From AL]
do you think striker could be the new gm
1:54
[Comment From Rolfus]
Matt Striker for IC Champion
1:54
Craig Tello –
for a while, many were comparing him to Bobby “The Brain” Heenan for his managerial strengths. Striker helped bring Big Daddy V to the pinnacle of ECW. Sky’s the limit for Striker on Raw…or anyone who associates with him.
1:54
[Comment From Shawn]
I love this move, Striker is a great addition to any roster, but glad to see him on RAW.
1:54

Matt Striker. Hopefully he’ll show his intelligence in the ring and win some matches
1:55
[Comment From Davey]
Kane vs Striker!!!!!
1:55
[Comment From Jacob]
They need to draft divas now
1:55
The Fink – One of the lost arts in this industry is a wrestling manager. Striker did a very capable job with Big Daddy V, and if that opportunity presents itself in Raw, he might just turn a few heads!!!

I love the draft, as gives the show a chance to create new matches and feuds. I wish Jeff Hardy would come back on Raw, but the sup draft has been good…I never thought Deuce would be on Raw. That’s two tag teams split up now!

Craig Tello – Dykstra, eh? Let’s see those ‘spirit fingers’, Fink!
2:00
The Fink – ECW..stay tuned
2:00
Corey Clayton – With the 12th pick of the 2008 WWE Supplemental Draft….. SmackDown receives MARIA!
2:00
Craig Tello – The Playboy cover girl!
2:00
[Comment From Shawn D-X]
wooooooooooooow a DIVA
2:00
[Comment From Trev]
ABOUT TIME TO!
2:00
The Fink – Good for Maria!! I think it is an excellent move…
2:00
Corey Clayton – Pronouns Maria!!!
2:01
Lennie DiFino – Pronouns!
2:01
[Comment From Trev]
Woot! Woot!
2:01
[Comment From Jacob]
wow
2:01
The Fink – She will add some sparkle to the show, and also I am sure she will be gunning for the new Diva’s Championship
2:01
Lennie DiFino – Now maybe she will get the chance to impress GM Guerrero to earn a chance against Natalya!
2:01
[Comment From wwe fan]
maria is hot
2:01
Craig Tello – yes, she is.
2:01
[Comment From RPG]
SmackDown seems to be the Playboy cover girl show.
2:02
Lennie DiFino – Playboy covergirl show?
2:02
[Comment From The Landlord]
Maria to SD!, terrible move, I love seeing her every monday night
2:02
[Comment From nick]
please post this so my friends think i’m cool!
2:02
Lennie DiFino – Have you seen Natalya in the ring? She is second to none!
2:02
The Fink – Lanlord, you’ll have to now make Fridays a must then!
2:02
[Comment From Edith]
Maria nice!! candice michelle and maria !! nice
2:02
[Comment From Niall]
Maria next womens champions on smackdown
2:03
Lennie DiFino – Michelle McCool is a heck of a performer
2:03
[Comment From Seven]
Nice move for Maria
2:03
[Comment From Guest]
hope raw gets another diva in return hopefully vicoria or eve
2:03
[Comment From MIchiru]
I wonder if they will send Santino Marella to SD to annoy maria now?
2:03
The Fink – I am going to give some credit to Vickie Guerrero here.
2:03
Craig Tello –
And those two Divas were just standing side-by-side at yesterday’s WMXXV Press Conference!
2:03
Craig Tello – Fink is about to get some serious heat!
2:03
[Comment From Myband]
RAW has lost some big guns in these drafts
2:04
[Comment From Max Keeble]
Maria is hotter than a George Foreman Grill
2:04
[Comment From will]
ah no fink dont do it
2:04
[Comment From big frank]
i would laugh if santino gets drafted to smackdown lol
2:05
The Fink – She did create the DIva’s title. And I have been a firm advocate of the SD and ECW divas having a chance to wear the gold. So short of making the WWE Women’s Champion defend againat all comers. I like the creation of the Diva’s title. It makes their division more competitive, with a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, per say.
2:05
The Fink – So, kudos to Vickie G for that move.
2:05
[Comment From charles]
the divas themselves are a pot of gold!! WOOOOOOOOO
2:05
Craig Tello –
You’re definitely right, Fink. Since last summer, Michelle McCool and Victoria have been petitioning for a Divas Title on SD. It’s about time.
2:06
[Comment From TBT]
Kudos for taking that risk, Fink. It’s true that Vickie may be a bit malicious, she sure knows how to treat her divas. I’m glad they finally have a reward for all of their hard work.
2:06
Lennie DiFino – I agree. I cannot wait to see this title
2:06
The Fink – Hey Craig,and Lennie, how was your 79 Cent Cheese Roll-Up from “Deep Pockets’ Clayton???
2:07
Lennie DiFino – Still stomach grumbling.
2:07
Craig Tello – and, Fink, we’re still awaiting your pick for an ECW Superstar to manage.
2:07
Corey Clayton – What? I didn’t spring for the beef and potato burritos? 😛
2:07
[Comment From tom holmesy]
vickie g is one of the worst managers eve on smackdown
2:07
Craig Tello – I stayed away from the burritos…is this forum sponsored by Taco Bell or WWE.com? 😉
2:07
The Fink – ECW: I will jump on the Super Crazy express!!
2:07
[Comment From matte]
i think katie will win, but only because paul will interfere
2:07
[Comment From Sharon]
I don’t like Vickie.
2:07
[Comment From Mark]
oo Vickie G something your not telling us fink
2:08
[Comment From Alex]
I want Marsye to win the diva championship!
2:08
[Comment From Devin]
Maria’s wrestling skills have improved considerably as well over the last year.
2:08
The Fink – Mark, I am telling you my thoughts, nothing more, nothing less
2:08
Craig Tello – Vickie and Howard? The Rated-R Superstar wouldn’t be too happy!
2:09
The Fink – No he would not…..the “Edge” is to Edge
2:09
[Comment From smackdude]
michelle mccool should get drafted to raw since she thinks she is tough lets see how well she does against Beth phoenix
2:09
Craig Tello – Maria is one Diva that has certainly picked up her in-ring game within a year’s time. This time next year, she could very well be sitting at the apex of the SmackDown Diva division.
2:09
Corey Clayton – Next pick coming up now……
2:09
The Fink – Agreed, Craig
2:10
Craig Tello – …waiting…waiting…
2:10
Craig Tello – this better be a Raw pick!
2:10
Corey Clayton – With the 13th pick of the 2008 WWE Supplemental Draft….. SmackDown receives SHELTON BENJAMIN!
2:10
Lennie DiFino – Yes!
2:10
Lennie DiFino – Now there is a hell of a move!
2:11
[Comment From Mike Maher]
YESSS SHELTON BENJAMIN ON FRIDAY NIGHTSSSS !!
2:11
[Comment From Mankey]
All about the Benjamins now!
2:11
Craig Tello – Somebody (with a lot of power) must LOVE Vickie Guerrero! SmackDown is cleaning house with scooping talent today!
2:11
The Fink – Back to back picks for SmackDown… To me, this is a big loss for ECW. I have always been a big fan of Shelton;s work and ability, and he had son event peaked in ECW. Nonetheless, now that Shelton is more established as a singles competitor, the move to SmackDown will benefit him perhaps more than anyone that has been drafted to their brans thus far this afternoon.
2:11
[Comment From Dan]
THE GOLD STANDARD HIMSELF!
2:11
Lennie DiFino – I’ll admit it. I have the power.
2:12
Lennie DiFino –
2:12
Craig Tello – And what an ideal place for the Gold Standard, with TWO World Titles currently on SmackDown!
2:12
[Comment From T-Bear]
No. ECW just got robbed
2:12
Lennie DiFino – Shelton can shine bright on Friday nights
2:13
Craig Tello – Benjamin isn’t just athletically sound and charismatic, he’s also incredibly bright – making him a serious threat on Friday nights.
2:14
[Comment From gslice]
ECW is getting robbed. No one will be left to watch on Tuesdays…
2:14
[Comment From ADog]
He is the Gold Standard but I’m sad because it ends his feud with Kofi Kingston
2:14
[Comment From corey tarrant]
fink could manage gold standard
2:15
[Comment From Legion]
Shelton is a great wrestler, but he needs to get Mamma on the phone if he wants to wear gold again…
2:15
Craig Tello – In fact, in the coming weeks on WWE.com, our fans will see exactly how intelligent Shelton is, and how deep his knowledge of sports-entertainment’s championships extends.
2:15
[Comment From mike]
i agree with craig anyone would be lucky going to sd with two world titles
2:15
[Comment From EDWARD]
Ain’t no stopping him now!!!!!!!!!!!!
2:16
[Comment From TapouT]
Shelton is one of the best old school submission wrestler combined with athletic power of a cheetah
2:16
Craig Tello –
Check back to WWE.com in the next few weeks for a unique “(Gold) Standardized Test” — presented by The Fink, himself!
2:16
[Comment From Aaron]
Gold Standard can’t be too disappointed with the giants currently fighting over the ECW title.
2:16
[Comment From WyldChyld]
Raw needs some new juice, let’s hope for Dreamer on Monday nights
2:16
Craig Tello – who knows–by then, Shelton might capture a coveted title on the blue-hued brand!
2:16
[Comment From Ksd]
How many picks will there be in this draft.???
2:16
The Fink – Shelton will probably come to SmackDown with the “underrated” tag cast on him. He is gonig to make an impact, in my opinion!!!
2:17
[Comment From Gemini73]
Haas to Smackdown, please!!!! and the return of the World Greatest Tag Team
2:17
[Comment From alex]
ecw got robed big time
2:18
[Comment From Devin]
Maybe he’ll finally feel as though he’s being properly utilized.
2:18
[Comment From Tiro]
Yay, I love shelton’s style, it’s good to see him on smackdown!
2:18
Craig Tello – Fink, we never got your ECW pick…who would you manage on the extreme brand?
2:19
Corey Clayton – Next pick coming to the podium….
2:19
Corey Clayton – Next pick coming to the podium….
2:19
The Fink – Craig, if I had my way,,, Either Super Crazy or Elijah Burke
2:20
[Comment From Mark]
Smackdown is truly becoming the A show
2:20
[Comment From Matt]
shelton needs to loose the blonde hair and be the proformer he used to be.
2:21
Craig Tello – The Fighting Irishman saves the day for his son by being drafted to ECW! Looks like Hornswoggle’s paternal protector will stay by his side.
2:22
Craig Tello – umm…Corey…the official word…
2:22
Craig Tello – 😉
2:23
Lennie DiFino – Corey is frozen in time!
2:23
Craig Tello – ANYWAY….yes, Finlay & Hornswoggle are BOTH headed to the Land of the Extreme.
2:23
Craig Tello – This means that Miz & Morrison have much more mayhem on their hands, even if they do succeed in retaining the WWE Tag Titles this Sunday at Night of Champions.
2:23
The Fink –
Well, after about an hour and twenty minutes of separation…..We have a family reunion!!
ECW just acquried pound for pound the most rugged individual in all of WWE today! I am a big Finlay fan. I like his style and tenacity.
2:23
Lennie DiFino – Finlay is one tough guy
2:24
Craig Tello – plus, his shillelagh will DEF come in handy in ECW!
2:24
Craig Tello –
Michael Cole can attest, those shots from the shillelagh leave a mark!
2:25
Lennie DiFino – With the 14th pick of the 2008 WWE Supplemental Draft….. ECW receives FINLAY!
2:25
Craig Tello – and judging by Corey’s absence, it looks like that burrito caught up with him pretty quickly. Glad I passed.
2:25
The Fink – I’m sure that Hornswoggle is happy…And if I am Mike Adamle, I would mind my p’s and q’s at ringside!!!
2:25
Lennie DiFino – Adamle “Finally”
2:25
The Fink – He’ll probably call him “The Finlay”
2:25
Craig Tello –
“Tinsey and Thornswoggle”
2:25
Lennie DiFino – HAHAHAHA
2:26
Lennie DiFino – Fink, a user wants to know why you would want to manage those two picks eariler
2:26
Craig Tello – (Kevin) Thornswoggle…it’s ECW, right?
2:27
The Fink – But seriously folks, great acqisition for ECW. And not withstanding the WWE Tag Team title match this Sunday at N of C, I can also visualize “The Finlay” as a possible ECW Champion!
2:27
Craig Tello – Any Finkel Facts on Finlay you can offer, HoFink?
2:28
Craig Tello – this real-deal brawler has come a long way on his journey to ECW
2:28
The Fink – Sure…Here comes the most inportant Finkel Fact:
2:28
The Fink – Hs is undefeated thus far in ECW!
2:28
Craig Tello –
And THAT’S why he’s The Fink, folks!
2:29
Craig Tello – It’s been a pretty dry day for Raw, no?
2:29
The Fink – Hey, I ma going to make a cool announcement before we sign off, if that’s OK
2:29
The Fink – am
2:30
Lennie DiFino – Next pick is up….
2:31
Lennie DiFino – With the 15th pick of the 2008 WWE Supplemental Draft….. SmackDown receives CARLITO!
2:31
Craig Tello – And Carlito returns to his roots (appropriate for the Superstar with the noteable hairstyle)..
2:31
Lennie DiFino – Carlito, historically makes a splash when he debuts on a show.
2:31
The Fink – This is another EXCELLENT acquisition!!! And Carlito needs a major change of scenery, in my opinion, and he’s comign back to where it began
2:31
Craig Tello – When Carlito debuted on SmackDown, he seized the U.S. Title…I wonder if he can make equal impact
2:32
Lennie DiFino – Nice point, Craig…
2:32
Corey Clayton – And remember that little spark between Carlito and Maria? They are both on SmackDown now.
2:33
Craig Tello – But, by now, most folks know they can’t trust Carlito…will the SmackDown locker room be ready for the Caribbean Superstar
2:33
[Comment From BILLY “HITTMAN” ENGLE]
lennie Difino you right on the money man
2:33
Lennie DiFino – Cabana!
2:33
Corey Clayton – Again, my apologies … we’re still having technical difficulties with the record online crowd here at the Live Blog. We’re trying to get your comments in ASAP, as best we can.
2:34
The Fink – I think he can, Craig….Carlito has a lot of skill and savvy as a Superstar. And to me, they key to this move is that Carlito has a fresh start, something I think he will thrive on. I also believe that being a second generation superstar is a plus, so Carlito has that in his bank as well
2:34
[Comment From Pain Clinic]
Love seeing Carlito follow HHH to Smackdown!
2:34
[Comment From DJ]
Carlito’s Cabana back on SMACKDOWN!!
2:34
Craig Tello –
But, can Carlito’s Cabana compete with the MVP Lounge?
2:34
The Fink – Sure he can…
2:35
The Fink – That in and of itself would be…….. C O O L
2:35
[Comment From the danimal]
this is great for carlito. he has had a rough time since losing the IC title to Flair about 3 years ago. not many bright lights in his life except the ones hes always staring up at
2:35
Lennie DiFino – Team them together!
2:35
[Comment From Franck Ribery]
Carlito makes SmackDown! Cool
2:35
[Comment From WWE Biggest Fan!]
COOL indeed, Howard!
2:35
[Comment From N*8]
The Fink is COOL!!!!!
2:36
[Comment From Johnny Holiday]
carlito has a chance now
2:36
[Comment From Jose Jalepeno]
Great move.. Carlito to SD is a good start
2:36
[Comment From Guest]
Fink is my father
2:36
[Comment From justin]
smackdown is dominating
2:36
[Comment From DJ]
come on i want to be on the board
2:37
Craig Tello – Carlito and MVP would NEVER get along…or be able to trust one another.
2:37
[Comment From Percilis]
My kingdom for a comment!
2:37
Craig Tello – Just ask either man’s former tag partners!
2:37
Lennie DiFino – Neither did Matt and MVP — and they were champs!
2:37
[Comment From Gary]
c’mon we all wanna be on the board
2:37
[Comment From matt]
i been comenting for 3 hours and not got one on yet
2:37

Carlito + MVP > Carlito + Santino
2:37
[Comment From JAM1919]
I not seem my name up there yet!! Great move for Carlito..
2:37
Lennie DiFino – Thank you Trev!
2:37
[Comment From Matt B.]
Carlito vs. MVP vs. Mr. Kennedy in the ultimate loudmouth match
2:38
[Comment From Skwerl]
Bring back Freddie!
2:38
Craig Tello – yea, but that trust ended pretty quickly with a guy with zero scruples — MVP.
2:38
[Comment From frodough]
benjamin and carlito would be COOL!
2:38
[Comment From Leon]
I don’t know…a Carlito-MVP pairing could prove entertaining for a while.
2:38
[Comment From Jeff]
Biggest draft today was Smackdown getting Big Daddy V (No pun intended)
2:38
[Comment From rko42]
Smackdown has had a monster draft, now they got the coolest star in the wwe roster as well
2:38
[Comment From Kevin Core]
Never say never, Craig. I just said twice
2:38
The Fink – Do we have an update on how Corey is feeling.. Penguins Fan 2 asked
2:38
Lennie DiFino – MVP is future on SmackDown
2:38
Craig Tello – Speaking of MVP, he’s someone who’s usually very vocal .. in general. I wonder how he’ll react to the 2008 Draft on SmackDown.
2:38
[Comment From Compact]
Long live Cantino
2:39
Craig Tello – I’m loving that Corey’s legacy today is indigestion.
2:39
Corey Clayton – When my computer actually works and doesn’t freeze up, I feel fine 🙂
2:39
[Comment From Y2J Fan]
Considering how many typos Fink made today, he might want to lay off Adamle
2:39
The Fink – Serve him right to cough up 79 centavos
2:39
Craig Tello – PC or Mac, Corey? 😉
2:39
[Comment From Phenomenal1]
Raw needs some major draft picks and fast
2:39
Craig Tello – next pick on its way??
2:39
Corey Clayton – On the company PC today, Tello 🙂
2:39
[Comment From Matt]
the cabana will dominate the MVP lounge.
2:40
Corey Clayton – The next pick is coming to the podium…..
2:40
Craig Tello –
Oh, I thought the technical issues were b/c you were hosting today’s forum via iPhone (not 3G).
2:40
Craig Tello – I think we need a Cabana vs. MVP Lounge poll!
2:41
The Fink – After the next pick I will tell our bloggers about a new concept I am involved with here on wwe.com
2:42
[Comment From ag]
MVP should go to Raw man he needs a new place where there is new competition!
2:42
Lennie DiFino – He has two champions to chase on SmackDown!
2:42
[Comment From Steve]
Raw’s next draft pick needs to be JR!!!
2:43
Craig Tello –
JR will be great on SD. And Raw will continue to thrive with Cole on color commentary.
2:43
Corey Clayton – With the 16th pick in the 2008 WWE Supplemental Draft …. Raw receives LAYLA!
2:43
The Fink – Oh, to Y2J Fan: My typos are definitely done to see if you are paying atention, and you are! Congratulations!
2:43
Craig Tello – Despite losing Maria to SD, Raw picks up the sultry & extreme Diva, Layla. Not bad at all!
2:43
[Comment From Chadness]
Layla on Raw is great!
2:44
Craig Tello – Ever since Layla won the 2005 Diva Search, she has made her mark. Extreme Expose is long gone, and it is definitely time for her to head to a new brand.
2:44
[Comment From Jason]
Layla to raw new comepetition for the womens title
2:44
Lennie DiFino – Layla’s wish comes true!
2:44
[Comment From Alex]
Layla can not replace Maria on Raw but still a good pick up.
2:44
[Comment From Ryan]
Layla vs Melina sounds like a cool feud to watch
2:44
Craig Tello – Plus, I think we are all legitimately satisfied with the number of times Kelly Kelly faced Layla on ECW.
2:45
Craig Tello – And, as user Robbie also identified, Layla is VERY hot with straight hair. 😉
2:45
[Comment From Amaan]
Who is Kelly going to face on ECW now then ?
2:45
[Comment From Ad]
Another one flies the ECW nest, there won’t be anyone left soon!
2:45
[Comment From ocwrestler23]
so kelly kellys all alone
2:45
[Comment From Y2A]
i’ll never get tired of two hot divas fightin
2:46
[Comment From richrico21]
layla is amaaaazing!!
2:46
Lennie DiFino – Kelly vs. A pole!
2:46
Craig Tello – My mistake, btw…Layla won the 2006 Diva Search…when she became $250,000 richer!
2:46
The Fink – A good move for Layla. Her wrestling skills have improved tremendously, and t’s another challenger for Mickie James as well.
2:46
[Comment From Matt]
Lena Yada’s still on ECW
2:46
[Comment From Slack]
Woohoo Layla, Beth and Mickie all on raw
2:46
[Comment From Gemini73]
not a good pick for Raw
2:47
Corey Clayton – I worry that Layla, despite her talents, could end up the Glamazon’s latest tackling dummy.
2:47
The Fink – May I make my announcement, guys?
2:47
Craig Tello – ECW’s Diva division is somewhat heavily divided at this point, though. tough break for the Land of the Extreme.
2:47
Lennie DiFino – Yes Howard
2:47
Craig Tello –
wait, howard!
2:47
[Comment From Tyler]
Maybe she can be Jillian’s dance partner while she sings her TERRIFIC songs
2:47
Craig Tello – there’s still another pick on the way! keep them in suspense!
2:47
The Fink – OK, I’ll wait
2:47
[Comment From Thorias]
So how come comments keep getting disabled? Server lag or something?
2:48
[Comment From Matty]
I would like to see a few more Divas get drafted!!
2:48
Craig Tello – Who wants to see Layla perform a weekly dance to Jillian’s tone-deaf melodies?
2:48
Lennie DiFino – Just wanted to let everyone know we just received word that the next Draft pick will be the final pick of the 2008 Supplemental Draft
2:48
The Fink – OK
2:48
Corey Clayton – We have a ton of server traffic right now, we are turning comments on and off to keep the blog online. Our apologize to the tens of thousands of our fans reading along right now!
2:49
[Comment From Nikkie]
I love that Layla is on RAW now
2:49
Craig Tello – any thoughts? wild guesses on the last pick?
2:49
Lennie DiFino – Yeah, huge respect to everyone in here!
2:49
Craig Tello – I will say Cherry to ECW!
2:49
The Fink – We really appreciate everyone out there!
2:49
Corey Clayton – Mike Adamle to Sci Fi Ghost Hunters?
2:49
The Fink – Corey Clayton to McDonalds!
2:49
Craig Tello – These are some of the best comments I’ve ever seen! Cheers to you all!
2:49
Corey Clayton – that hurt, Fink…. that hurt…. 🙁
2:50
Craig Tello – ouch!
2:50
The Fink – All in good spirit my man!

[Comment From eric]
Fink, Lennie, Corey, and Craig when, where, and for what belt do each of you think c.m punk will cash in for?
3:00
Lennie DiFino – I think CM Punk has a real opportunity to make a huge impact at NOC
3:00
Corey Clayton – I think CM Punk would be foolish not to go after the World or WWE Titles “Edge style”
3:00
Craig Tello –
I think Punk will cash in for Edge’s gold—maybe as soon as this Sunday, bringing a World Title back to Raw!
3:00
[Comment From Cena’s #1 Fan]
CM Punk next WWE Champion
3:00
[Comment From rob mcmahon]
Cena to ECW
3:01
Corey Clayton – With the 17th and final pick in the 2008 WWE Supplemental Draft … Raw receives KOFI KINGSTON!
3:01
Craig Tello – I could also see Punk cashing in on a grand stage with millions of eyes watching his potential triumph. Maybe SummerSlam? Punk/Edge this August could be the headliner.
3:02
Craig Tello – All together, now…
3:02
[Comment From Toaster]
RAW needs Toastamania.
3:02
The Fink – I am not sure about this move. Since joining ECW in January, Kofi has become one if its most popular competitors. The question is, how will this superstar now fare on Monday Nights? It’s a whole different playing field on Raw, but I think that Kofi will challenge himself to make an impact. At least he got a taste of Raw this past Monday when he faced JBL. And althought not a succesful outing there, there is surely a lot more turf to cover. And given time, Kofi will do just that as a member fo Raw.
