Vinnie Mac's new 'Wildcard Rule' is an interesting concept, but it's already confusing and has undermined the recent Superstar Shake-Up terribly. Fans could be forgiven for wondering why they bothered caring about the mini-Draft when groups of wrestlers are able to move freely between Raw and SmackDown due to the Wildcard gimmick.
