There are a couple rumors going on out there about who is going where in this years draft. Here are some of my thoughts.

- HHH to Raw - This is obvious to continue his feud with Orton

- Mysterio to SD - The hispanic numbers have gone down on SD in ratings while he has given very little to Raw

- Jericho to SD - He has sort of run out of feuds on Raw and would make a great addition to SD

- Swagger to SD - He has been built up quite a bit very quickly and I think he could do some good on as a mid-carder on SD.

- Kozlov to ECW - It's time for him to get a title and the ECW belt seems to fit his character.

- MVP to Raw - Who does he have left to feud? He could go anywhere though as the early favorite to win the MITB Ladder Match.

- CM Punk to ECW - He has had brief moments of shine on Raw, but probably won't break into the top role any time soon.

AND THE BIG SHOCKER THAT THEY WILL SHOW AT THE END OF THE SHOW!!!

Undertaker to Raw - The Deadman has done quite a lot on SD. Like Obama says, it's time for a change.

Look at Jericho's career in the WWE/F

- The only reason why he was such a big part in the Invasion Angle is because the WWF could use him because he spent so much time in WCW. Plus, if I remember correctly, HHH was injured.

- He then beat both The Rock and Austin in the same night to win the title. This shocked many people. Then HHH, who had been sidelined for almost a year because of Jericho, returned a month later, won the Royal Rumble, and then beat Jericho for the title at Wrestlemania. How much do you think HHH's return played a part in the decision to put the strap on Jericho?

- Then he became a mid-carder for basically the remaining time with the company until he left.

- He then returned to feud with Orton for the title. This was done because Orton had pretty much beaten every face that was on Raw.

- Finally, in the middle of feuding with Shawn Michaels, he win's the WWE Title in a match he was not scheduled to be a part of. Yet another big shock. But considering Jericho was involved in the feud of the year with Shawn Michaels, it makes sense to give him the title so their feud could get a Ladder Match involved.

Look I'm not saying Jericho is not a great wrestler. He works well in the ring and is incredible on the mic. But I'm just saying that most of his accomplishments have been done by the creative team in order to further enhance a feud.

I have multiple questions about Ted Thompson, the Packer's General Manager. If anyone can answer one, or any of these questions it would be very helpful to me. I've been having trouble finding the information myself. And to give you a head start he became the Packer's GM in 2005.

1. How many players has Ted Thompson drafted since coming to GB and how many of those players are currently on the active roster? I heard this somewhere but I don't remember the numbers.

2. How many free agents has Ted Thompson brought into the Packers organization who have gone to the Pro Bowl since becoming a Packer? Example - 1 out of 10

3. How many Pro Bowl players that were not resigned or released by Ted Thompson have gone back to the Pro Bowl since leaving the Packers?

Example - 1 out of 10

I just read that Big Nog is not only coaching for the next season of TUF, but he is also bringing some pretty good coaches along with him. In additions to being coached by Nogueira, the fighters of the team will also have Anderson Silva and Lyoto Machida as their coaches.

OK so obviously the language barrier will be an issue for this team, but how sick of a coaching staff is that?

It is no secret that the LHW Division is most popular and talented division in the UFC. But Dana White is going to be in a tough place when picking the next #1 contender.

- Lyoto Machida and Thiago Alves are the two most deserving in the division but neither are that popular or really well known.

- Rashad Evans is undefeated but he hasn't beaten anyone credible and is not considered a top LHW by many.

- Chuck Liddell and Wanderlei Silva are very popular and many want to see both of them fight Rampage Jackson again. But they both are 1 and 2 in their last 3 fights. Even each of them wins their next fight, they will still be a fight away from deserving a title shot.

- Shogun Rua is the last person to defeat Rampage but he is yet to win in the UFC.

- James Irvin could get the nod if he beats Anderson Silva, but again he is not that popular.

So who deserves the next title shot?

Who do you think is going to win each match tonight?

Give me your review of each move in the WWE draft. It can be short, it can be long, you can review just the televised draft, or you can review each move of the entire draft.

I will give my review in the added section later. Don't worry, I've been a fan for over 20 years so I'm not just some stupid little kid doing a review.

Do your best cuz I will be harsh.

There are two big fights coming up that could take MMA a step in the wrong direction.

Silva vs. Irvin. Silva is p-4-p the best fighter in the world and is now fighting James Irvin. Irvin has big knockout power but to the casual fan he is not a household name. If a "no name" were to knock out the best fighter in the world, it will go down as a horible move by Dana White.

Fedor vs. Sylvia. Fedor is the most dominant fighter in the world. Now Sylvia is not just some push over, but he is not the fighter everyone wants to see go against Fedor. Everyone wants to see Fedor vs. Couture. But if Sylvia beats Fedor, the Fedor Couture fight will not have as much hype and will lose viewers.

Now if these fights go the way everyone thinks they'll go they will be great for the sport. Fedor knocks off a former UFC Champ and Silva beats a LHW fighter. But both of these fights could end in an upset and set the sport back.

What do you think?

Okami has over 15 wins with only two losses over the last couple years. And those losses were to Rich Franklin and Jake Shields and last time I checked those two were pretty good fighters. How is he not even talked about for getting a title shot? I personally think he should be fighting Patrick Cote for a title shot.

What is your opinion of Chuck Liddell? Anything goes... his fighting skills, his personality, his popularity, his relationship with Dana White, his feuds, etc.

Be as brief or as detailed as you want.

UFC or Affliction

UFC has Mir, Gonzaga, Werdum, Vera, Herring and Minitauro Nogueira. But they also have some up-and-comers in Lesnar, Carwin, and Velasquez.

Affliction has Tim Sylvia, Arlovski, Minitoro Nogueira (Big Nog's Twin Brother), both Emelienankos, and are probably going to have Couture at the end of the year.

Which is the better lineup?

MMA makes its primetime main stream debut with Elite XC. And it is headlined by a guy with 2 profesional MMA fights. This fight was a crock. How is the ref going to stop the fight in the third round while both fighters are on their feet, and not stop the fight in the second round while Thompson was pounding Kimbos head like like a peace of meat for a full min without Kimbo even trying to defend himself.

This is not what MMA is all about. The both of these fighters are jokes and wouldn't last a round against lower level Heavyweights in the UFC. They both were out of shape and had no conditioning or strategy. Robby Lawler should have been the main event because he is a real fighter.

With girls shaking their azzes in between fights, this made MMA look like the joke that so many think it is already. And it didn't help that it was headlined by a guy known for his street fights yet Shamrock said at the beginning of the program “You won’t find them fighting in the streets." Agreed?

I think it's obvious that Machida can make the best case for number 1 contender in the Light Heavyweight Division. But do you think he should get a title shot a Jackson just yet? Part of me wants to see a Machida vs. Shogun Rua. But besides that, how can you argue any other Light Heavyweight for a title shot right now?

But I think the UFC should have some non-title fights. There are matchups within the UFC that we will probably not see for a couple years if ever because of who is holding the title. Look at some possible fights in each of the divisions.

Wanderlei Silva vs. Rampage (their 3rd fight)

Anderson Silva vs. GSP (the best of the best)

BJ Penn or Sean Sherk vs. Matt Hughes (rematch)

None of these challengers deserve a title shot, but the story behind the fights would bring in so many viewers. But the UFC only seems to care about title fights. Does anyone else agree?

So here is the run down on the up coming title fights. Not all of them are announced but you can guarantee you that they will happen.

Nogueira vs. Mir for the HW Title

Rampage vs. Griffin for the LHW Title

Silva vs. Okami for the MW Title

GSP vs. Fitch for the WW Title

Winnner of Sherk and Penn vs. Winner of Ruerta vs. Florien for the LW Title (I don't care if I spelled them wrong)

So after all these fights are said and done, who are the front runners for a title shot in their division?

Out of all the fighters in the world, which one would you like to see in the UFC... except Fedor. I am taking Fedor out because I have a feeling everyone is going to say him. You still have a good list...

Aleksander Emelenianenko

Antonio Rogerio Nogueira

Murilio Ninja Rua

Mark Hunt

Urijiah Faber

Takanori Gomi

Sakuraba

Robby Lawler

Frank Shamrock

You get the point. Oh and if you say Kimbo Slice or Bob Sapp, I am going to shoot myself in the foot because the both of them suck.

It looks like Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira will be coaching the next season of The Ultimate Fighter. And the other coach, and next in line for a shot at the UFC Heavyweight Title, is Frank Mir. What are your thoughts?

Who would win in a real fight. HHH or Aleksander Emelianenko?

I have been looking all over the internet for this video and i can't find it. i want to find a web site that has a video of the fight between Edwin Dewees and Gideon Ray on The Ultimate Fighter. For those who don't remember, this is the fight in which Dewees gets busted open badly on his head. Trust me I have tried a lot of sites so don't give me an answer like "try this site". I want a direct link. Help me out here.

It could be someone as big as Josh Barnett or someone as small as Bobby Southworth?
