Official Raw is Draft Thread (6-23-08): Place your bets!

[darkpower]

My personal thoughts:

- There were some major shakeups, alright. I was calling the entire HHH or HBK being moved being THE shocker, and it happened. HHH got the nod to move. Rey moving from SD was expected for me, but to RAW? ECW got ass-raped this time, I agree. Kennedy, for me, was a weird move last year, but they corrected this a year later (let him be face on SD). The Umaga move was expected (I actually liked the different name Adamle gave him instead of Bulldozer. It fits him a bit more now that they don't have him squashing every single person.)
- Also, was it me, or did every single commentator dog on Adamle the entire night? At least Adamle seemed to not mind it any (even played around with it a little bit. Did he say that he was being RIBBED left and right during that Umaga stuff? That's the first time I've heard ANYONE use THAT lingo on-air before).
- I like that Cole got promoted to RAW. Good for him. The guy deserves it, though I didn't expect the JR move. I was expecting more of an Adamle/Cole switch for some odd reason. Hearing JR on SD will feel VERY weird. Still, nice to have the WWE try this. And I'm very happy for Cole. He gets shitted on by the IWC too much when he does really well.
- I'm confused with this whole McMahon thing. Outside of writing off the Million Dollar stuff, what else was it supposed to accomplish?
- I don't know if anyone else caught it, but when the camera went to Triple H following us finding out about his drafting to SD, Cena was upset about something in the background, pulling on his RAW shirt. Not sure what that was about, but something tells me he was legit shocked at that. Maybe he was told he was going to SD and they changed it at the last minute (maybe he wanted to go to SD, too). I'm interested to find out what that was all about.

I think Cena was upset cause he didnt know if he was still getting his title shot.

Then he would be the stupidest fuck ever to live because they said countless times that the NOC matches would go on as planned regardless of how the draft went.

And if it was in kayfabe, then the WWE must think that we all have THAT short of memories (then again, why do I actually expect the WWE to roll like that?).
