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.
