10 Worst WWE Roster "Shake-Up" Moves
5. The Entire 2007 Draft
Not the supplemental portion, but the on-camera selections themselves. The night of the 2007 Draft is more infamous for Vince McMahon's "demise" in a limo explosion, which was rendered moot by real-life events weeks later. The actual selections on Raw's broadcast were just as irrelevant in the big picture.
Raw acquired four wrestlers during the course of the night. Of that lot, two of them would leave the company within months: King Booker and Bobby Lashley. Another, Gene Snitsky, was mostly inconsequential for the remainder of his WWE run. Despite earning a mega-pop when his name came up, Mr. Kennedy never did live up to his potential, and was back on SmackDown a year later.
SmackDown may have had it worse. Three of their four selections would be gone within a year: Chris Masters (released that fall), Ric Flair (retired at WrestleMania XXIV), and Torrie Wilson (left in May 2008). The other was Great Khali, who wasn't exactly the most exciting of performers.
ECW ended up with two picks: The Boogeyman (more of a novelty act) and Chris Benoit, whose real-life actions less than two weeks later are still hard to come to grips with.
