If they land a top 4 pick, they will get either Williams, Cantor or Jones. They don't need Irving who's listed at 6'2. which probably only makes him 6 feet. Wall is already around 6'2 or 6'3 being listed at 6'4.

The three I named are all forwards in the 6'10-6'11 range with good upsides.

To be honest, its kinda HHH's fault

He kept using his stroke to bury everbody so no real top face could be established

He buried Kane ( completely ruined his character), Scott Steiner, Booker T ( can't watch WM 19 because of it), Goldberg, Randy Orton, and completely killed all of RVD's hype

Let it be known, I'm still a huge HHH fan

I do kinda like Cody's new deal though

He went from pretty boy to Quasimodo

I think its more the whole branding thing that has hurt the WWE more than anything else.

HHH was the top star when he was a Heel, and when he was with HBK in DX.

He's been really good as a face and heel actually. I think the problem now is that there isn't enough definition on who are main eventers and who are middle card guys. That's why they need a clear path for titles that takes awhile to develop. Let guys battle it out to face the champ. Let other titles be defended as the main event.

Taker was really hurt before the WM match I think, right? He kind of battled through it, but they did that whole stretcher thing because he'll be gone for a long time now.

Feels like there is too much going on, and not enough time for everything to work properly. Again, that's solved by creating better factions so these people can get TV time but without having to wrastle every week on TV.

Also, where is Melina? Hurt again?

Sin Cara looked cool though.

I think either you split the two "brands" further, or you bring them all together. You don't need to have the Heavyweight Champ fight every week. If you have more belts, then you have the champ move freely from show to show. Where they lose the title, that's where they stay. Everybody else stays put.

I however would like to see a full Cruiser Weight Division where one week that's the main event on raw. Steel Cage with high fliers.

Then let the main event another week be for the tag titles. Same with US Champ, Inter-Cont...etc.

Their problem is that people just fight all over the place. One week you have Sheamus and Wade going for the heavyweight.....then all the sudden they are middle card guys. That's because they should have never been moved up so fast. when you announce going for a certain belt. You should be put on some path to win that belt over weeks or months.

First, let WCW rest in piece. as for HHH/Taker, HHH imo, had no choice but to lose. We all know what would have been said if HHH won considering his position in the WWE.

Its been reported the WWE was looking at guys like Sting and Lesner to go against the Taker last night. I wouldn't be shocked if HHH stepped up and offered because he knows it would benefit his career long term with the guys he'll be managing backstage.

As far as WCW, what's the difference? Why are Raw and Smackdown "Brands"? why does it matter? You'd think with four hours a week. they could have the Cruiser Weight, Euro and Hardcore belt out there also.

Why is it that Snooki was better in the ring than Cole?

I think a better storyline would have been to have some sort of WCW reborn....and having them take over Smackdown by force.

I think we all knew HHH was going to lose. I wouldn't be surprised if it was his idea because he takes such a strong role backstage now. He knew it was for the good of the company. Question is.....who do they find for next year which will probably be the last?

Weak that neither the U.S. Title or Tag Titles were on the line at WM.

I don't think Miz will be going to go face. Recently they were having him win a lot more cleanly than he did last night.

I think McCool jobbed for Snooki because her real life Husband (Taker) probably explained that you do stuff like that to be a team player.

The Coree = lame

Hopefully tonight is a launch of a bunch of new storylines.

For being 4 hours long, they could have put in 2 or 3 matches instead of all those promos.

Not sure what to make of the storylines.

What is the deal with the Raw GM? That was stupid. No titles changed hands. Two weren't even up for grabs.

I know the Cavs are awful, but its these type of games that makes me want to see these young guys with a coach better suited to them. A developer of young talent.

Congrats to Crawford. That was a nice job done.

Angel of Stern

I heard the NBA wants to create a 1st round bye in the playoffs. But only for teams located between Ft. Lauderdale and the Keys.

**** the score. Just play physical and make them pay for every shot taken. Who cares about fouls?

I think Jordan Williams hurt his draft stock the final few months of the season. Hopefully he'll realize another year is needed for him.

As far as the Wizards. Do they have 2 or 3 first rounders?

W\Man, HHH...must be nice to be :hump: er...married to the boss's daughter.

No doubt.

From what I've read on the interwebs, HHH has been taking a bigger backstage role running the shows, especially since Shane left the company. I recall reading that HHH ran the whole deal on a recent Euro-tour for the WWE and did a really great job. Ending the Undertakers streak would be dumb since its all he has now. I think HHH and Taker try to put on a hell of a show with HHH losing. Then the Undertaker tries to stay healthy for one final Wrestlemania where he goes out with a win. Meanwhile, HHH will be mostly backstage with maybe a role as a GM or running a stable of young guys. Something like that.

If Irving doesn't come out now, he would be an idiot. Take the money. You can always go back and finish your degree. But if you go back to school, there is a chance you will fall.

While its not the greatest draft in history. I think if you end up with a top 3 pick, you're going to get a decent enough player there.

The NFL needs a rookie cap like the NBA, and the NBA needs a franchise tag like the NFL.

I would like to see what a coach better suited to develop younger guys can do with McGee, Blatche, Young, etc.

Saunders should have been replaced at the all-star break, but it didn't happen. Leonsis knew before the season started it wasn't going to go well. He's just setting up the organization for a lockout and rebuild around Wall.

I'm not going to pretend that anybody besides Wall is a great prospect. But I do know that the smart move is to play those guys as much as possible for the rest of the season. If that means you're using a lot of Crawford and Booker. Then good.

I think McGee has the raw ability, but his head isn't into it. Maybe that's on him, or the coaching, or both. I think priority number #1 will be getting coaches who specialize in developing young talent.

Well, if the guy doesn't have the mic skills in English. Then they need to do something where he's a big mystery. Maybe create a Luchadore based stable for now where he's teamed with Rey and they get a manager like that Rosa diva.. Then down the road soon when Rey gets ready to retire, have those two feud or something.

Actually, if they wanted to add some juice to the tag division. Rey and this guy would be awesome.

STAMFORD, Conn. – WWE today unveiled their latest Superstar signing, Sin Cara, formerly known worldwide as Mistico.

Ted talking about the trade and the current pains.

I left a comment (waiting to be approved) saying that I understand this plan. But that Flip is doing hard to the development of young players. If you have an opinion, I say post it there too.

Word is that the NBA wanted McGee to Dunk two Sprite 2-liters into two Kia Sunroofs while wearing a bunch of Taco Bell Logo gear.

Fans get 100% of that vote? If he was an option, Yao Ming would have won without even being there.

That's the problem with the titles I think. They change hands too much. When a guy wins the title, it should begin a new battle for #1 contender. Not just have somebody ready. Almost like a brand new bracket.

Also, have just the World Title. Get rid of the WWE. Bring back the Cruiser Weight. Add a middle weight. Make Tag, US, Inter-cont titles all something more glamorous. I think Del Rio is interesting too. But he should be going after the Inter-Cont title right now. It would slow down guys like Shamus and Miz getting in big boy matches.

Also, why do they just not care about the tag titles?
