The Katz Files – Arnie Katzenjammer
The Draft Unmasked
The Kingfish Arnie Katz takes a long, hard look at the WWE Draft – and he doesn’t much like what he sees.

The ads touted this year’s WWE Draft Lottery as the start of a revolution. The actual three-hour event was less a revolution than a testament to the laziness and lack of imagination of the WWE writers and bookers.

If you wonder why people sometimes put down wrestling and its fans, you don’t have to look much further than the 180 minutes of piffle WWE aired on Monday as RAW.

Yes, there were a couple of decent matches – Mysterio-Bourne and Cena-Swagger – but can two watchable matches justify an entire evening in front of the television set? WWE asked a lot of its fans and then gave them precious little to enjoy.

OWW Wrestler of the Week: Matt Hardy
Our Resident Philosopher, Jay Shannon, profiles the older of the Hardyz. Matt not only took out his brother, Jeff, in an Extreme Rules match at Wrestlemania, but also took out Jeff in a Stretcher Match on Smackdown. Matt Hardy’s dominance in his feud with his brother earned the Master of Mattitude this week’s OWW Wrestler of the Week award.

Matt Hardy has been in the center of things in the WWE for many years. He started out as one half of one of the best tag teams, ever. After his brother left the WWE, Matt had to reinvent himself. He worked himself up to one of the best secondary men in the business. When Matt’s brother, Jeff, returned, all seemed well. Jealously would eventually raise its ugly head and Matt would go after his brother. Matt has been surprisingly dominant in the feud. His Stretcher Match win on Smackdown earned the Master of Mattitude, Matt Hardy, this week’s OWW Wrestler of the Week award.

My 2009 WWE Draft Predictions
Our resident philosopher, Jay Shannon, takes on the daunting task of trying to sort out the insanity that is the 2009 WWE Draft.

While talking with my good friend, Arnie Katz, about this column, we both agreed that this would be a challenge to predict. There are so many variables in all this that I may be biting off a bit more than I can chew with this one. However, I will push on and do my best to try and sort out the various moves and switches. I will look at each Brand, individually, focusing on who they are getting. I’ll wrap things up with a call sheet of the changes. (Rolls up sleeves, opens a fresh diet soda, and dives in).

Raw:

Well, Vickie Guerrero has already made the jump over to the Crimson Brand. It’s almost a dead lock that she’s going to bring Edge, and possibly Chavo, in tow. Chavo would be a good opponent for Rey Mysterio and the I-C title. I think Raw may also get Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder to round out the whole Familia thing.

I think the announce team is due for another major shakeup. I’m thinking that Raw just might reunite Ross and Lawler. The obvious choice would be to move Ross to Mondays. I’m going out on a limb and suggest that Lawler goes to Fridays and Matt Striker gets the King’s chair on Mondays. He’s really impressed the fans with his Gordon Solie-like encyclopedic knowledge of the game. He deserves the top announce spot.

A few people that have been misused may get shifted over to Mondays. Ricky Ortiz, who came out like gangbusters in ECW, has basically faded into nothingness over the past few weeks. A move to Mondays could allow him to finally get some use out of those silly Rally Towels. Shelton Benjamin needs fresh talent. A program against Rey could help his somewhat sagging career. It’s also time for Vladimir Kozlov to shift over to Monday. He could have a great program with John Cena, after Cena finishes with Edge. “The” Brian Kendrick has basically been shifted back and forth on almost every Draft that the WWE has had. It’s time for him to go back to Mondays and make life interesting for Rey. (Poor Rey’s going to have a slew of people after him).
