And yet, we had to endure numerous conversations among wrestlers and the commentators about where someone was drafted, who was a sleeper, who was a first-rounder, who would be the value pic, etc.

This stuff just needed to be ditched entirely and just get back to a “normal” wrestling show. Quit pretending the draft meant something and still matters.
