These two sentences[edit]

"The draft usually took place during the month of June. However, the 2009 WWE Draft is currently scheduled to take place during the month of April."

Are these necessary? You can see the exact dates of each draft by clicking on their individual articles so I don't feel that it adds anything by being here. Wwehurricane1 (talk) 03:32, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also, to add to that: Three of the drafts took place in other months besides June with 4 of them (if you count the 2006 moving of RVD and Angle as a draft) being in June. That ratio is hardly enough to call it "usual" in my opinion. Wwehurricane1 (talk) 03:34, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ECW draft[edit]

Should we also mention that since ECW began in the Tri-Branded Draft, that the ECW Title has always gone to a new show (Usually Raw) Gamloverks (talk) 20:59, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's only happened once with Kane. Wwehurricane1 (talk) 00:48, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

To build on this: it mentions Kane's ECW title moving to Raw but not how it got back to ECW where it was held by Christian and Ezekial Jackson last I knew. DB (talk) 00:32, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

2010 Draft Page[edit]

Has anyone made a 2010 WWE Draft page yet since it's confirmed?--Yugiohmike2001 (talk) 22:09, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yup, and 2011 WWE Draft to boot :) DB (talk) 00:32, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in WWE draft[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of WWE draft's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Announcement":

From 2010 WWE draft: "The 2010 WWE Draft approaches". World Wrestling Entertainment. Archived from the original on 17 April 2010. Retrieved 2010-04-18.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 09:21, 7 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
