It's a Raw (http://www.wwe.com/shows/raw/) so big, it will start one hour early at 8/7 CT on the USA Network.
Monday night, on a special three-hour edition of Raw, the entire WWE roster will converge in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., for the fourth-ever WWE Draft.



The show will begin with a match between old rivals WWE Champion John Cena (http://www.wwe.com/superstars/raw/johncena/) and World Heavyweight Champion Edge (http://www.wwe.com/superstars/smackdown/edge/). The battle between Cena and Edge will set the tone for the night. Each match on Raw will be interpromotional and will affect the Draft.
In professional sports, draft day is always special for a young athlete. No one knows where they will be going as they get their official start in the professional ranks.


On Monday, the Superstars of WWE will all be nervous for a very similar reason. Until their name is (or isn't) called, none of the Superstars will know if the brand they currently call home will still be theirs come Tuesday morning. Whose names will be called at the podium to bring their talent to a new brand?


The three-hour special edition of Raw will be made even more special, as it will also be “Mr. McMahon (http://www.wwe.com/shows/ecw/superstars/mrmcmahon/) Appreciation Night,” ordered by the WWE Chairman of the Board himself.


WWE.com has learned that several celebrities, Legends and WWE Hall of Famers, including "Stone Cold (http://www.wwe.com/superstars/raw/stonecold/)" Steve Austin and Bret Hart (http://www.wwe.com/superstars/halloffame/brethart/), will be offering their comments of appreciation for the boss. Read more on who will be appearing... (http://www.wwe.com/shows/raw/articles/4413908/speakers)


What other festivities will take place to honor the former ECW (http://www.wwe.com/shows/ecw/) World Champion? And will McMahon’s mental state be more stable than it was last week, as he wreaked havoc in the locker room as a maniacal matchmaker?
Monday will also be uncertain for the new World Tag Team Champions, Lance Cade (http://www.wwe.com/superstars/raw/lancecade/) & Trevor Murdoch (http://www.wwe.com/superstars/raw/murdoch1/), who beat a weakened Matt & Jeff Hardy (http://www.wwe.com/superstars/raw/jeffhardy/) for their titles last week. Will the draft split the pair just as they reach the pinnacle of their profession?

Don’t miss all the action on the special three-hour WWE Draft edition of Raw, Monday night at a special time, 8/7 CT on USA Network.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I'm actually pretty excited about this Raw, but I won't be watching it until tomorrow. Stupid social life.

[St. Jimmy]

If the show opens with Cena jobbing, I'm in.

[KingofOldSchool]

I draft John Cena to TNA.

[St. Jimmy]

I second that draft pick.

[St. Jimmy]

Vince with Downs = Ratings.

[St. Jimmy]

Hell of a way to start the show, eh?

[St. Jimmy]

OH FUCK, Cole and Tazz all night... Fuck.

[St. Jimmy]

THE CHAMP :love: Edge.

[St. Jimmy]

Edge's pyro is immense.

[KingofOldSchool]

Is Cena getting booed?

[Volchok]

I'm gonna have to miss the first hour because my dad is a stingey asshole and will only have cable in the living room and he'd rather watch the dukes of hazzard for the millionth time... God I hate his sometimes...

[KingofOldSchool]

Because with them being in Philly, I would hope so.

[St. Jimmy]

You can hear the kids and girls cheering, and then the men cheering for Edge when he gets offense.

[Skippord]

Edge's pyro is oficially the greatest thing about wrestling today

[St. Jimmy]

SPINNING HEEL KICK, Noice.

[St. Jimmy]

Cena selling the face.

[KingofOldSchool]

Edge the greatest thing about wrestling today

[St. Jimmy]

The Blockbuster is a terrible move.

[Skippord]

Touche KoOS touche

[St. Jimmy]

Cena wants a DQ?

[St. Jimmy]

EDGE WINS!

[KingofOldSchool]

BOOOOOOOOO

[St. Jimmy]

I don't like this whole "Ref Shoot" idea. It's really dumb.

[KingofOldSchool]

Cause lord knows Cena can't job clean even in a non-title match.

[Skippord]

BAHGAWD

[KingofOldSchool]

Uh oh.

[St. Jimmy]

KAHLI to SmackDown?! OH THANK GOD!!!!

[Skippord]

[Volchok]

[ChiefStubbs]

So much for Khali being buried.

[Dorkchop]

[RawRocks]

[gatoconbotas]

Oohh slam of the week!!!
Lame.
What does this have to do with Punk v Carlito?

[gatoconbotas]

What does CM stand for?

[6to1]

[gatoconbotas]

Vengeance graphic not too bad.

[St. Jimmy]

Can't Maneuver.

[Skippord]

Cunt Mopper

[KingofOldSchool]

What does CM stand for?

Chick Magnet
Charles Montgomery

[St. Jimmy]

Random SmackDown ref.

[KingofOldSchool]

[Ninti the Mad]

[Linkbowler]

Shelton Benjamin: Take notes. That's how you jump off the top rope.

The Boogeyman? Meh.

[Skippord]

What the fuck

[Linkbowler]

EXTREME WORMS!

[Skippord]

[Volchok]

Lol I wanna see someone get drafted twice, say from Raw to Smackdown then from Smackdown to ECW.

[gatoconbotas]

[St. Jimmy]

BOOGEN GETS PYRO?! ew.

[Skippord]

[Skippord]

SNOOPALOOP

[gatoconbotas]

Snoop dog?
LOL.
Isn't he supposed to be in jail?

[Volchok]

LOL go Snoop Dogg.

[KingofOldSchool]

BOOGEN GETS PYRO?! ew.

He's always had pyro.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>I noticed Foley is eligible for Raw. Maybe ECW drafts him and he can be their GM</font>

[Skippord]

I dislike rap but I love Snoop Dogg

[gatoconbotas]

He's always had pyro.

The real question is, WHY doeshe get pyro?

[St. Jimmy]

He's always had pyro.

I've never watched SmackDown since he's been on it, to be honest.

[Gerard]

That selector graphic and sound effect has to be one of the cheesiest things ive ever seen\heard. Also when boogeyman got picked why did the selector appear to stop on shawn michaels? For a second i thought he was going to ecw then all of a sudden they say boogeyman got picked. :wtf:

[St. Jimmy]

usa isnt very smart for a network.

[KingofOldSchool]

LOL Zack Gowen

[St. Jimmy]

Raw will get Chris Benoit, London & Kendrick, and any other talent Smackdown has

[gatoconbotas]

Oooh screwjob clip.

FOLEY

[St. Jimmy]

Foley. Woo.

[KingofOldSchool]

FOOOLLLEEY

[Gerard]

ooh heres foley, wonder what book he has to whore this time. :lol:

[Linkbowler]

If Foley beats Cena, he really will be God.

[KingofOldSchool]

LOL Foley wrestling

[Volchok]

How come I can only remember one of Foleys title wins?

[gatoconbotas]

I bet he doesnt win.

[St. Jimmy]

Foley vs. Cena would be uh... Naw, still a Train Wreck.

[KingofOldSchool]

Orton will probably give Foley a concussion.

[Skippord]

Mick's gonna job :(

[RGWhat316]

Interesting RAW so far. Draft picks have to pick up though.

[KingofOldSchool]

I bet he doesnt win.

Oh, really?

[Linkbowler]

How come I can only remember one of Foleys title wins?

Because Tony Schiavone only put your ass in the seat for that one.

[KingofOldSchool]

I bet Vince enters that match as well since he is also a former WWE Champion.

[Blue Demon]

What did Bret have to say?

[KingofOldSchool]

Oh "AppreciHATE"

How clever.

[St. Jimmy]

LOL, that list is genius.

[gatoconbotas]

[Skippord]

[St. Jimmy]

UUUUUUUMAGGGAAAAAA

[KingofOldSchool]

[Skippord]

Umaga wont be winning

[RGWhat316]

[gatoconbotas]

[St. Jimmy]

Balls gonna get destroyed.

[Linkbowler]

[gatoconbotas]

I bet this match goes really, really quick.

[Jura]

Damn, Sharmel on Raw :(

[Skippord]

[KingofOldSchool]

ALL HAIL KING BOOOOOKAAAHHH

[gatoconbotas]

Its never a good thing when the person starts in the ring

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>Right on WWE.com this week there was a huge article about how Booker and Sharmell can be separated. So much for that. Ah well, Booker on Raw is cool so long as that bitch shuts up</font>

[RawRocks]

at this rate.. nine total picks.. three per hour.. how fucking pathetic

[KingofOldSchool]

GET OFF MY TV

[St. Jimmy]

BOOBY LASHWEE.

[Volchok]

Here's hoping Sharmell get fired.

[gatoconbotas]

Didn't Brock Lesnar have the same pyro when he jumped onto the ring apron?

[Skippord]

If Benoit gets booed I will die a little more inside

[St. Jimmy]

Beniot will not win this match.

[gatoconbotas]

Michael Cole's Skittles < JR's Skittles

[Volchok]

Common Benoit, break his arm, and or neck, and or legs.

[RawRocks]

The Raw referees must be wearing new shirts

[gatoconbotas]

This could've been a decent RAW.
But Vince's appreciation night is taking too much time.
Gay.

[St. Jimmy]

lol, ECW ref shirts are terrible.

[Skippord]

Lashley may very well be the only man who can outwrestle Chris Benoit

[gatoconbotas]

I could use a piece of cake.
and icecream.
sounds like a good time to get that.

[St. Jimmy]

... I pooped, did I miss anything?

[KingofOldSchool]

LOL look at the guy with the fro in the 3rd or 4th row.

[Linkbowler]

Nice move.

[Skippord]

That Benoit and his lack of charisma

[gatoconbotas]

This actually is a good match.
They work well together.

[Lara Emily]

Benoit is Carrying Lashley.

[gatoconbotas]

Benoit's eye's cut.
Rough.

[Xerzes]

Feh. I knew I'd forget about it starting at 8. Did.

[Linkbowler]

That Sharpshooter was awful.

[KingofOldSchool]

BOOOOOOOO

[gatoconbotas]

I knew Benoit wouldn't win.
I wanted him to though

[Skippord]

:(

[Jura]

That Benoit and his lack of charisma
What he lacks in charisma, he makes up for in toothless aggression.

[Lara Emily]

LMAO that was such meh ending.

[gatoconbotas]

Why announce it?
We're not stupid.
Who isit?
Two screens and shitty music later...
BENOIT
lol

[Skippord]

I seriously love that music

[KingofOldSchool]

OHHHHHH

[Jura]

lol I had a feeling that was gonna happen.

[St. Jimmy]

BENIOT IN ECW?! AMAZING.

[Linkbowler]

CRIPPLER!

[Lara Emily]

That Sharpshooter was awful.

Had to be to set up the counter.

Benoit to ECW noice!

[Xerzes]

Wow, what a cheesy effect.

And yeah, there goes Benoit. Say goodbye to everyone's fondness for MVP.

[KingofOldSchool]

Chris Benoit vs. Elijah Burke

[KingofOldSchool]

Khali will cost Batista the match at Vengeance.

Get ready for an epic Batista/Khali feud.

[gatoconbotas]

OK...time for cake and icecream

[KingofOldSchool]

IT'S THE DONALD

[RawRocks]

[Lara Emily]

God these are so lame

[KingofOldSchool]

Benoit vs. Punk, please

:yes: :y:

[Volchok]

Here's hoping for Punk, MVP or Kennedy to Raw.

[Ninti the Mad]

I am not surprised by the lack of drafting.

They tend to move people when they want anyway.

[KingofOldSchool]

ROFL

[KingofOldSchool]

I knew they weren't going to have more than 10 picks.

[KingofOldSchool]

God please end this.

[Volchok]

She's lucky she's hot, and bringing up the video of Trish.

[Lara Emily]

Yep incredibly lame.

Please don't pee there.

[Volchok]

BALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLIN

[KingofOldSchool]

BALLIN'!

[gatoconbotas]

LOL Who's the power ranger?

[Xerzes]

Exactly what everyone has ever wanted. for the fake punk girl to talk for several minutes, and thent o see Moolah and Mae Young again.

...holy shit, that was the entire segment? That's all they're putting between two commercial breaks?

[Cactus Sid]

Ok, so I'm flicking from the PC back to the TV, and did I seriously just see Moolah and Mae Young on the floor barking.

That didn't just happen right?

[Skippord]

Please pee there.

[Skippord]

MUST KEEP MIND ON ASHLEY'S TITS

[KingofOldSchool]

Awesome. I got something new to think about to keep myself from busting

More like something to give you erectile dysfunction.

[gatoconbotas]

No special edition of RAW is complete without those two women.

Keep in mind...one bore a hand once.

[RawRocks]

not what i envisioned for Draft Night...
automated picks (which is fixed), Vince McMahon appreciation Night, win a match to earn a pick, old women in lingere barking like dogs..

how pathetic!

[KingofOldSchool]

MUST KEEP MIND ON ASHLEY'S TITS

I tried to picture Maria in lingerie, but all I got was Maria's face on Mae Young's body. :'(

[KingofOldSchool]

not what i envisioned for Draft Night...
automated picks (which is fixed), Vince McMahon appreciation Night, win a match to earn a pick, old women in lingere barking like dogs..

how pathetic!

Yeah, where is the Kiss My Ass Club???

[KingofOldSchool]

Iron Sheik is going to make you humble.

[Linkbowler]

Sheik's gonna suplex him, fuck his ass, and make him humble.

[St. Jimmy]

Shiek: VINCE MCAMACHNOA I WILL HUMBLE YOU.

[KingofOldSchool]

2 cooky cats talking about another cooky cat.

It's one big cooky fest.

[Skippord]

Is this really necessary

[Volchok]

LOL Super Fry.

[Skippord]

Seriously what the hell is going on

[Jura]

Did he just say asshole?

[Skippord]

I'M COMIN'

[Skippord]

MVP's music rules

[Londoner]

The matches have been decent, only decent draft pick tho has been Benoit and that was obvious. What i just saw though was embaressing...what purpose did that serve?

[PapaGeorgio]

lmao, all I understood was "Kennedy McMahon you play racquetball with me."

[St. Jimmy]

LOL, MVP is the gayest thing ever.

[Volchok]

Common MVP, Come to Raw.

[St. Jimmy]

SANTINOOO LOS DEGOOO.

[RawRocks]

Mr. Perfect 2.0 vs 123 Kid 2.0

[Skippord]

If MVP doesnt win I'm going to be pissed
