2002 Draft: #52, RAW
In the inaugural WWE Draft, fans were very surprised to see an ECW Original like Tommy Dreamer slip all the way to the 52nd selection, in a draft where there were 57 selections made.
Dreamer was a part of the ECW acquisition, a promotion which essentially became the third WWE brand. Dreamer was undoubtedly one of the cornerstones of the ECW success story. Having developed a near cult-like following before arriving in WWE, Hardcore original fans were very shocked to see The Innovator of Violence slide to such a low pick.

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
