10 Reasons The WWE Draft Concept Failed

2. No Consistency With Rules

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-I5v3mMVts In addition to the randomization of draft picks not making any sense, the rules and regulations of the WWE Draft were never kept consistent. And this is the one exception where the inaugural WWE Draft in 2002 is at fault here as well. For example, how was it that Ric Flair could select all three members of the nWo, yet The Dudley Boyz couldn't be selected as a unit? And why wouldn't Triple H have been assigned to a brand despite being the Unified champion at the time? He was bound to drop the strap at some point, so it was a matter of where he would end up then. In the years that followed, more questions were raised. At the 2007 WWE Draft, Bobby Lashley was sent packing to Raw, but was told by Mr. McMahon he couldn't bring the ECW Championship with him. Yet, at the 2009 WWE Draft, Rey Mysterio, Maryse and MVP were all drafted with their titles and weren't forced to relinquish them. Similar to most things they do, WWE made the rules up for the Draft as they went along and changed them to whatever fit their agenda. That became painfully apparent over time, but it was also fairly confusing and one of the more prominent reasons why the concept was such a failure.
