Okay people, send me your picks if you want Sailormoon back!

WWE: Monday’s three hour event was a heated occasion as anything that could have happened, HAPPENED.  All matches last night had a stipulation that whomever should win, wins a draft pick for his/her roster.

Here’s a rundown of the most important events:

First off, here are all of the draft picks for 2008 in order of drafting:

1. Rey Mysterio Jr. drafted to Raw. The 5’3 star shook hands with HHH during the live taping from the AT&T arena in San Antonio T.X.

2. C.M. Punk drafted to Raw.

3. Jeff Hardy drafted to SmackDown. One hour later, he teamed up with his older brother Matt, to face off against Miz and Morrison. Miz and Morrison cheated, and due to the stipulation of “Winner wins a random pick for his/her roster”…

4. Matt Hardy was drafted to ECW.

5. J.R. was drafted to SmackDown.

6. Michael Cole was drafted to Raw. (More on this below!)

7. Batista drafted back to Raw.

8. Umaga drafted to SmackDown.

9. Kane was drafted back to Raw.

10. Ken Kennedy was drafted to SmackDown.

11. Triple H was drafted to SmackDown.

Total draft score: 2 announcers + 3 belt holders + 1 injured list star + 5 non-title holding active wrestlers = 11 total trades.

Total amount of stars each brand received:

Raw: 1 announcer + 1 injured star + 1 belt holder + 2 non title wrestlers = 5

SmackDown: 1 announcer + 1 title holder + 3 non title wrestlers = 5

ECW: 1 title holding wrestler. = 1

Total amount each brand lost:

Raw: 1 title holder + 1 announcer + 3 non title wrestlers = 5

SmackDown: 1 announcer + 1 injured star + 1 title holder + 1 non title wrestler = 4

ECW: 1 title holder + 1 non title wrestler = 2*

(* Although Kane’s status was up in the air between SmackDown & ECW, Kane holds the ECW championship. Thus, Kane counts as ECW in this area.)

Yeah, it just sucks to be ECW.

All six announcers were present for Raw, and all six took turns, swapping partners during the broadcast. Here are the match results for each match:

HHH defeated Mark Henry.

Hardcore Holly and Cody Rhodes beat Chavo and Bam Neeley, after Hardcore Holly dropped Chavo into Lala land with an Alabama-SLAMMA!

Miz and Morrison beat The Hardy Boyz via a stupid ECW ref.

Vince McMahon gave away $100,000 to 5 people each, and then $500,000 to one lucky winner. Ric Flair was even there, and in one memorable segment, Khali joined Vince in giving away cash, but the first caller they tried hung up!

Vince had answered “Hello, this is Vince McMahon and Khali.”

The guy answered “Sorry, wrong number.” AND HUNG UP!!

Khali stood over the phone, and in plain English yelled “Wha De *uck??”

Another winner was actually IN THE CROWD when Vince called! YAY!
Jericho showed footage of HBK through the years screwing over Marty Janetty, Kevin Nash, Hulk Hogan and various other talents. (No Bret.) Shawn, now sporting a pair of Band-Aids over his cut eye, ran down and girly punched Y2J, but
Jericho lobbed Shawn into the corner of the announcers’ table, possibly injuring Shawn further.

For match #4, Mickie James and Melina from Raw came out to square off against Natalya Niedhart and Victoria from SmackDown. For this match only, announcers were the only people up for grabs. (This woke everyone up!)

Adamle called Melina “Vickie” and Michael Cole had to correct him!

The match was cut short however, as Melina suffered a nasty spill. She had climbed up to the top rope, but was pushed off. She landed feet first, but her one knee buckled, and the other popped her in the face. The other three divas tumbled out for a brawl, but Mickie began screaming that Melina was hurt. The ref called the match as a double count out, and then EMT’s carried Melina away. As a result, Raw and SmackDown each got a random announcer pick. Cole went to Raw, as King stared into the screen, as if to say “NoooooooOOOOooo…” while Mick Foley and JR just glared at each other.

Cena beat Edge by a 10 count, after Edge blew Cena off. As a result, Edge cost Vickie Batista, who never wanted to leave SmackDown!

Tommy Dreamer lost a bout to MVP. Even Mick Foley was rooting for Tommy! MVP’s victory scored Umaga, who decimated Tommy and Colin Delaney for no reason.

JBL beat Kofi Kingston with an UGLY Clothesline from Hell.

In the main event, Team Raw (Kane, Punk, Batista, HHH and Cena) and Team ECW

(Matt Hardy, Chavo, Miz, Morrison,
Shelton) lost to team SmackDown.

(Edge, MVP, Mark Henry, Big Show, Jeff Hardy)

After the match, Vince announced the winner of the $500,000. But soon after this, one of the lights fell. The commentary ignored it at first, but then pyro went off. Vince tried to jump away, but he instead fell through the stage, as the bottom of the money podium fell through! Vince stood up, yelling that he was a-ok, but just then, the main stand with the dollar light up sign fell over him, knocking him down.

Triple H started screaming for Vince, as Edge and Cena ran to Vince’s aid. Cena started screaming for help, as Edge tried in vain to lift the heavy structure off. In moments, Heels, Faces, Tweeners and EMT’s worked together to lift the structure, just enough to let paramedics through.

Vince was unconscious for a few minutes, but as they pulled him out, he woke up. Vince looked around nervously, and then started screaming “PAUL?? PAUL??” which is HHH’s REAL name. Triple H just yelled to Vince to stay calm and keep his neck still. Vince then started screaming “I CAN’T FEEL MY LEGS!!”

The audio was cut, and soon the program ended abruptly. No WWE logo card.

At this time, there is NO word on Vince’s condition. WWE will release a statement in a few hours. Expect an update on my blog later today.

In case you were wondering, this was NOT storyline.

Okay, that does it for right now. As always, stay clean and healthy and read a good book when you can. Until next time!
