BWF Podcast 2 (Right click, save as)
Well folks, despite being under the weather and pressed for time, I managed to record a Podcast on the night I promised to. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to post it last night, so here it is, finally. A look at the WWE Draft and the McMahon sillyness from this Monday’s RAW among other things.
Well, the WWE Draft was last night. ECW lost a couple guys to RAW, and gained one from SmackDown. The first superstar on tonight’s show was the newest member of ECW, Matt Hardy. His tag team partner for the night, one of the newest RAW superstars, former ECW superstar CM Punk. The main event for the night featured SmackDown superstar Mark Henry taking on ECW Champion and current RAW superstar, Kane. Why bother with the draft and the brand extension if you’re going to have the guys wrestle on different brands anyway – especially RAW draftees going back to wrestle on ECW. Does that mean JR can work RAW next Monday in Oklahoma City? Speaking of the draft, I know this is the ECW post, but there is going to be a supplemental draft today at noon on WWE.com – we’ll have LIVE coverage here on BWF – unless of course I fall asleep.
ECW review, after the jump!

Obviously, if you saw the draft edition of WWE RAW last night, you probably know what happened to Mr. McMahon at the end of the show, and you’re probably finding this site through some search such as “Is Mr. McMahon ok” or “Tower falls on Mr. McMahon.” Was it real? In a word, no. My suspension of belief suspended itself during the segment – because it conveniently happened at 11:03PM Eastern Time, right after Mr. McMahon gave away $500,000. Not to mention that it was painfully obvious that he didn’t get hurt at all, even with the Million Dollar Mania sign “falling on him.” So I’m not going to waste any more time on it, but I am interested to see where they go with it. By the way, if you don’t remember, at the end of last year’s draft edition of RAW, Mr. McMahon blew up in his limo.
Anyways, I made my predictions in yesterday’s post, and I actually got three right – including the night’s first pick, Rey Mysterio coming to Monday Night RAW! If you told me yesterday though, that Triple H and Jim Ross would be making their way over to SmackDown, I would’ve told you that you’re crazy. Mr. McMahon said it was time to shake things up again, and how right he was. Other big names switching shows last night include the ECW Champion Kane heading to RAW, and US Champion Matt Hardy heading over to ECW just after his brother came to SmackDown.
The rest of the draft choices, and the matches that got them there, after the jump!
