WWE becoming more screwed up, arghh!!

Happy Birthday to Christalle and Yi Hui

Man, I am done watching WWE shows on Super Sports, even as the channel itself is going to be available only for those with HD-enhanced function for the Starhub cable device, starting from this Sunday onwards.

Donald Trump’s brief tenure as the owner of Raw may have ended, but his actions taken at that time continue to reverberate throughout the WWE landscape. On Monday’s episode of Raw, the WWE Universe learned that, before selling Raw back to Mr. McMahon, “The Donald” had orchestrated more than a dozen Superstar trades, extending through all three WWE brands and including the following:

Moving to Raw...
Gail Kim from Smackdown
Alicia Fox from Smackdown (appears in all 3 brands)
Jack Swagger from ECW
Evan Bourne from ECW
Mark Henry from ECW

Moving to Smackdown...
Matt Hardy from Raw (AGAIN!!!)
Finlay from ECW
Hart Dynasty from ECW (Tyson Kidd, David Hart Smith and Natalya)

Moving to ECW...
Shelton Benjamin from Smackdown
Goldust from Raw
William Regal from Raw
The Bella Twins from Raw

These are the superstars who had completed a 'full circle' as of June 29th, i.e. been officially contracted to all 3 brands at different times...
- Alicia Fox... member of Smackdown from July 2008 to Nov 2008, member of ECW from Nov 2008 to Apr 2009, member of Smackdown from April 2009 to June 2009
- David Hart Smith... member of Raw from October 2007 to April 2009, member of ECW from April 2009 to June 2009
- William Regal... member of Raw from April 2002 to June 2005, member of Smackdown from July 2005 to June 2007, member of Raw from June 2007 to June 2009
- The Bella Twins... members of Smackdown from August 2008 to April 2009, members of Raw from April 2009 to June 2009

Superstars who have already made a 'full circle' prior to recent trade-in...
- Mark Henry (member of Smackdown from April 2002 to August 2003, member of Raw from August 2003 to Dec 2005, member of Smackdown from January 2006 to June 2008, member of ECW from June 2008 to June 2009)
- Shelton Benjamin (member of Smackdown from Dec 2002 to March 2004, member of Raw from March 2004 to Nov 2007, member of ECW from Nov 2007 to June 2009)
- Matt Hardy (featuring the most complicated trades of WWE trade-in history!!)
member of Raw from April 2002 to August 2002;
member of Smackdown from August 2002 to November 2003;
member of Raw from November 2003 to April 2005; July 2005 to October 2005;
member of Smackdown from October 2005 to June 2008;
member of ECW from June 2008 to January 2009;
member of Smackdown from January 2009 to April 2009;
member of Raw from April 2009 to June 2009... and back to Smackdown again!!!

And if that wasn't enough, a few more unknown jabronis made their debuts on ECW... Sheamus, Tyker Reks and Yoshi Tatsu?? Which longtime wrestling fan has heard of them??? Man, the situation in the WWE is getting much more complex than I could imagine...
