Stealingsilver Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Just before Orton got drafted I noticed he had taken his RAW tshirt off. But on the wwe website in an interview with the bigshow it seems that he really had no idea that he was moving to raw. I had also heard that in someones autobiography that he had written that superstars do not know which brand they will be on until they are actually drafted.

Smeg_&_The_Heads Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I think the big moves like Orton Cena will know but others lower down the card will not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fye Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 last year they were out on the stage about two seconds after being drafted and this year Orton was in the front row of the Raw roster earlier but had left before his draft so that suggests he knew, JR bitched about not being told when he was drafted and he seemed pretty genuine but I think the bigger names will know whats happening well in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vito Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 It was kinda convenient how they just happened to have a XXXXXL t-shirt for Big Show when he was drafted. Are we supposed to believe that some guy off-camera had all different shirt sizes stacked in front of him so he could pick the right size and throw it at the wrestler being drafted?

Ant Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Apparently the mid card/jobber variety that are drafted in the supplement have to keep an eye on WWE.com like the punters to find out if they've been shifted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeg_&_The_Heads Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 I wouldn't be surprised if the 1st John Cena move wasn't announced to the announcers and other superstars to get a genuine reaction but soon after they would of been told that he would be back on Raw by end of the show.

Â Supposing for a second the draft was real, why wouldn't they do that? Some of the criticism beggars belief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we supposed to believe that some guy off-camera had all different shirt sizes stacked in front of him so he could pick the right size and throw it at the wrestler being drafted? Â You really think that isn't plausible? considering sports akin to the NFL regularly have 200+ shirts in different sizes and with 32 different brands readily available prior to the draft? for the WWE it's a fraction of that cost as they know exactly who's in the company, don't need to re-evaluate measurements that often and have a tailor/company do a short order with two different possibilities. If the WWE draft is legit (for the most part) it's perfectly manageable well up to 2 days before it happens. Â /NFL draft round 1 happened last night, Cam Newton picked by the Panthers, Rams got a D-Liner from UNC //beaten by Tarver, but WTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Does anyone remember there was a story that went something along the lines of Trips getting drafted to SD and Umaga saying to Orton he was happy he didn't have to deal with him any more, and then he got drafted to SD too.

wwffan2 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 i think only the top guys will know people like cena , wheres the lower card guys dont know and are only happy to be on tv and not released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thecommish Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 From the way everyone reacted to Cena being redrafted to Raw, i.e. with anything other than feeling cheated, I'd guess everyone involved knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 All these sorts of questions, like "do wrestlers get to choose their own music?" come down to who the wrestler is. Cena, HHH, Orton etc would all have to agree to a move to Smackdown, but Ryder, Tatsu etc would just get told on the night. I assume there are other exceptions. CM Punk might ask to be on the same roster as Beth Phoenix, for example. Tyson Kidd and Natalya might push to get kept on the same show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
