I'm not asking for a argument. But who thinks that inside 3 hours last night Raw changed it self from being the A-Show, to the B-Show. I mean HHH (Raw's biggest star) leaves, Jeff Hardy (Really popular with fans and probably 2nd or 3rd biggest money maker on Raw) leaves, JR (The voice of Monday Night Raw) leaves. Then they replace those 3 guys with Batista, Rey Mysterio & Michael Cole.

You have to make new stars, and this is the only way to do it. What else was left for Triple H on RAW? Or Mysterio on SmackDown!? They've both been there since the whole draft thing started back in '02. I was surprised by JR leaving RAW, but that should freshen up the commentary, which is a huge part of the show. Also, keep in mind that RAW gained CM Punk and Kane. I'm not really sure about ECW at this point, and to be honest I really think they're just going to do away with it and maybe make it a new show or something now that the ECW title is gone from the show. Who knows? We'll really just have to wait and see how things play out.

J.R and HHH will be back........SD is better for Jeff if he wants to win a major title.

I disagree with it becoming the B show. RAW still has the numero uno popular guy, Cena. It also has HBK, now Batista, Rey, HBK, Jericho. I also still believe that what makes all the difference is that RAW is live and that is largely what makes it the A show, as well. I am curious to see where Taker ends up though.

No, I think that all the draft did was round out the shows. There is nothing left for Triple H on RAW, which was shown by how he actually got a somewhat decent match out of Mark Henry. I think that the draft has helped all three shows, and for the first time in a while I will watch more than just RAW.

I think RAW benefitted the most from the draft, which is ironic because they were the brand that needed it the least. I mean, they lost Jeff, Kennedy, and HHH. But they got Kane, Batista, Rey, and Punk.
I think its evenly balanced. I mean, the 5 biggest guys in the buisiness right now may be HHH, Edge, Undertaker, Cena, and Batista. RAW has 2, SD! has 2, and Taker is up in the air for now.
I lvoe how ECW needed the draft the most, but lost 2 of its biggest stars and only got 1 in return. We now have to pray Matt doesnt kill his family then himself.

Honestly I have always felt that Smackdown was the superior show (with a few exceptions) Smackdown always made the really good stars before they were drafted to Raw. Smackdown has, for the most part, been the more entertaining of the two since the initial draft.

I don't think so much Raw became the B-Show, but rather Smackdown! just became a co-A show.

yeah, i feel like raw kinda got downgraded a little bit last night. i'm pretty blah about kane, batista, mysterio & *eww* cole. kane & mysterio are on their way down in their careers & batista is just...nothing to me, no matter how many main event feuds and title runs he has i will never see him as a real top tier guy. kennedy, hardy & umaga are 3 guys that are only going to go upward and they're gone now for some bad trade offs imo.
