This new era for the EWWF looks to be very promising as we hold a Draft for the first time in our 3 year history. The EWWF has had many great traditions, a lot of which you have never seen but you will become a part of today.
The rules of today's draft are simple.
1.Wrestlers will be selected in a pick by pick manner, with RAW or Smackdown selecting one wrestler at a time.
2.Determination of which show gets the first pick was randomly chosen and Smackdown! will get the number one overall pick.
3. The draft will continue until all wrestlers have been chosen.
I bet you're probably wondering about the titles.
The EWWF's titles are the
World Heavyweight Title
Undisputed Title
Intercontinental Title
United States Title
Cruiserweight Title
Women's Title
4. Once the draft has concluded a card will be made for RAW which will contain 3 of those mentioned EWWF titles.
5. The General Manager will choose 3 titles for their respective show and the champion will be crowned at the end of that show.
6. Since RAW airs on Monday before Smackdown, RAW will get to choose their belt first. With Smackdown going after that and so on and so on.
So now that i've explained everything, The EWWF presents the Draft 2003.
EWWF Draft 2003 LIVE
EWWF CHAT ROOM!
Jim Ross: Hello fans and wrestlers and welcome to the EWWF Draft 2003. Tonight is a huge night! These EWWF superstars will be broken down into separate rosters for both Raw and Smackdown and i can't wait!
Jerry Lawler: Your telling me! I've been waiting for this draft all week!
Jim Ross: And all week the speculation has been, who will go number one? All week we have heard Benoit will be going number one. Brock Lesnar would go to Smackdown. But Tonight all those questions will be answered. Before we start the draft, hey wait a minute now
::SMACKDOWN DRAFT ROOM/Devin Micheals::
::We pick up on Devin's side of a phone conversation::
Devin Micheals: I think i know what i'm doing here....that's right you heard me correctly....well I guess we just have to find out right?
::Devin hangs up the phone::
::Scene cuts back to JR and Lawler::
Jim Ross: What in the world was all of that about King?
Jerry Lawler: Who cares JR, its not our show. Thats how they run things over at Smackdown!
Jim Ross: Speaking of Smackdown, we will now go live to our broadcast partners over at Smackdown, Tazz and Michael Cole.
::Scene cuts to Cole and Tazz::
Michael Cole: Thanks JR, we are live near the podium where we have the best seats in the house for tonight's draft. We would like to thank everyone for coming out for today's historic event!
Tazz: What were not thanking is JR and that know it all Jerry Lawler. How dare he talk about us and Smackdown like that?
Tazz: You know just because Smackdown is a superior show doesn't give you the right to be all jealous about it cause the fact of the matter is you would kill to be a part of Smackdown.
Michael Cole: Wow Tazz calm down, you seem really upset.
Tazz: I'm cool. I'm cool. don't worry about it. Lets start this puppy.
Michael Cole: And for that we go to CEO Akbar who is at the podium to introduce Smackdown GM Devin Micheals for the first pick of today's draft.
::CEO Akbar stands at the podium for the announcement::
CEO Akbar: Here to announce her first pick for the Smackdown! brand. I give you General Manager of Smackdown! Devin Micheals
::Devin walks out to a loud reaction::
:: Devin whispers in Akbar's ear::
Michael Cole: What in the world is going on?
Tazz: I don't know Cole but it looks pretty important
CEO Akbar: I've just been informed that Smackdown! has traded their first pick for RAW's 1st and second picks. Meaning RAW now gets the first overall pick and Smackdown! will get the 2nd and 3rd overall pick.
Michael Cole: What?! I can't believe it, lets send it back to JR and The King i guess for RAW's pick.
CEO Akbar: And here to make RAW's first pick and the first of the Draft is General Manager of RAW Damien Black!
Damien Black: Thanks Akbar. You know when i left the XWA i had no clue i would be up here today. But here i am smiling at a few of you that i wrestled. But here in the EWWF is where the big boys play and when you want the best, you pick RAW
Jerry Lawler: That's for sure!
Damien Black: So since RAW is all about picking the best. With the first overall pick in the EWWF Draft 2003. RAW selects
Jason Simmons!
Jerry Lawler: HAHAHAHAHA! That Damien is a serious crackup isn't he?
Jim Ross: I don't find it funny at all King.
Damien Black: With the first pick, RAW selects
Chris Benoit
Jim Ross: Well not a big surprise there, Benoit is arguably the best in the draft today King.
Jerry Lawler: He could be, but there are plenty of other great superstars that can match Benoit i can tell you that much.
Damien: I just want to thank Devin for making such a bonehead trade. Good going! We brought home the LeBron James of this draft! HAHAHA!
::Damien leaves the podium::
##1 Minute commercial##
::Scene opens on Akbar at the podium::
CEO Akbar: And now to make the second and third overall picks in today's draft. The General Manager of Smackdown Devin Micheals
::Devin walks out to a mixed reaction from the crowd::
::Devin takes the podium with the envelope in her hand::
Devin Micheals: A lot of people are probably wondering why the trade was made. Well honestly, it was all about strategy. You see i didn't see a mistake, i saw an oppurtunity.
Devin: An oppurtunity to get two wrestlers who will eventually be of extreme importance to me.
Tazz: Now what is she talking about?
Devin Micheals: With the second and third picks in the EWWF Draft, Smackdown selects
Rob Van Dam and
Pitbull
Micheal Cole: And Devin takes the two singles wrestlers that buddy up on occasion. Remember at the end of this draft RAW will get first crack at its three titles so you never know what these two GM's are thinking. Lets go back to Jim Ross and Lawler for RAW's second pick.
Jim Ross: Thank you Cole, we are still awaiting RAW's pick. They are on the clock and only have 40 seconds left to make a choice or else RAW gets skipped!
Jerry Lawler: Someone go get Damien! We can't let Smackdown get the next pick!
::Damien walks out to the podium with a smile on his face::
Damien Black: Very slick Devin, you take RVD and Pitbull! Two of the people i wanted but you know what Devin? I know who you want. Or should i say WANTED?
Damien Black: With the second pick in the EWWF Draft RAW selects,
The Hurricane
Jim Ross: Good pickup for Damien and RAW there with The Hurricane.
Jerry Lawler: Yes, Hurricane is a gifted cruiserweight that should make a solid showing on RAW. I just wished he would lose that stupid mask and cape!
Jim Ross: Well he's a superhero King
Jerry Lawler: He's an idiot, that's what he is.
Jim Ross: Oh shut up King. Lets take it back to Smackdown with Cole and Tazz.
:;Scene cuts to Tazz and Michael Cole::
Michael Cole: Thanks again JR. What a pickup by RAW there taking The Hurricane.
Tazz: You better believe it! Devin Micheals was talking all week about locking up The Hurricane and well it slipped right through her fingers.
Michael Cole: I bet Devin is steaming right now.
:: SMACKDOWN DRAFT ROOM/Devin on the phone again::
Devin Micheals: Well, he took The Hurricane, But i'm about to make a huge pick of my own...yeah i gotta go.. Smackdown is on the clock...I'll call you later.

::Camera pans over to JR and Lawler::
Jim Ross: Thanks Michael and they are right King, Jade is a nice pick by Smackdown.
Jerry Lawler: Jade is an awesome women's wrestler JR and she will be awesome on Smackdown. But do you realize that we got Chris Benoit? I'm so pumped! The Crippler here on RAW, ONLY on RAW!

Damien: So you want off of RAW and onto Smackdown?
Simon Gore: That's right Damien.
::Devin Micheals walks onstage::
Devin Micheals: Whats the matter Damien? Can't keep your talent happy? Maybe its because you can't please them like only a woman can do.
Damien: Maybe you're just a little-
