I live blogged this thing. So read in reverse, natch.

I think that’s finally it. Fingers crossed. It is. Phew.
RAW get Kofi Kingston
Rey Mysterio gets a high flyer to fight. I’m ecstatic about this swap. Turns out someone has been watching Kofi’s impressive ECW performances these last few weeks.
RAW get Layla
This supplemental draft is longer than the NFL draft. Had I known I would have split this into two posts.

SmackDown get Carlito
Please let this mean that Santino Marella is shifting brands as well. It doesn’t.
ECW get Finlay
The writing should have been on the wall after the Hornswaggle switch. Finlay’s a step above the ECW and I’m guessing he’s going to be holding the ECW championship within the year. He’s also been featured on ECW nearly every week for the past few months so this isn’t much of a surprise.
SmackDown get Shelton Benjamin
This is a big one. Shelton is one of my favorite wrestlers and he deserves a step up from ECW. He should do well at SmackDown and I think he could even challenge for a title. Really. By the end of the supplemental draft will ECW have anyone worth watching left?
