I don't understand this boneheaded booking. You have guys cheering when a big star (like Orton) gets drafted to their show, a guy who will kick their ass and win titles that they will never get a chance to win with them around to beat them every match.
So why celebrate?
Why would you try to win a match to get somebody else drafted to your show? What incentive is there? There is none. It's stupid it makes no sense.
In fact having random picks is STUPID. Have the damn GM's actually go out there and pick the superstars. It makes it so much more interesting.
Also, to have a guy who just got drafted be able to be REDRAFTED later is just stupid. Image the NBA Draft where people could just redraft the first pick over and over again.
It makes no sense.

ANd I am loving every minute of it. THEY GOT SWERVED! Lemme guess, you like Russo's booking, too. What a stupid ending. Has nothing to do with Russo type booking. It has to do with getting the Cena haters hopes up and them crushing them in one swift stroke. That is why I love it. It wasn't a stupid ending either. WWE has never ever said that you can't be re-drafted. I give them credit for doing something original.

I thought RAW was really good/great.
The Battle Royal to open the shows was a really good TV Battle Royal and had some surprises like Kane going out 1st, Ted getting rid of Barrett and Drew getting rid of Sheamus.
R-Truth's promo was a great first heel promo.
The promos tonight to hype Extreme Rules were really good especially Cody Rhodes and Punk/Orton's back and forth was really good too in my opinion.
The Cole JR "Match" had way too much stalling, but JR stiffing Cole and busting his lip open was great and Lawler whipping Cole with JR's belt was great and a good way to hype the tag match at Extreme Rules.
The Main Event was solid, I liked Henry's heel turn.
Finally I liked Cena being draft to SD! to open the show and then being drafted back to RAW at the end.

This Raw left me confused but not interested Jerry Brisco: "Didn't Mr. Mac-Mahon knock your socks off?"

And 99% of Cena haters are Smarks. You are wrong.

Before Mark Henry's heel turn, I had no idea he was a face.

CM Punk hugging and kissing Del Rio was hilarious

I hope tomorrow when I go to wal-mart they say they can't sell me any merchandise, then when I get home they put online all the stores can sell things, I'll TOTALLY run back.... wait no I'll just go to K-mart or Target.

RAW peaked with the battle royal. Seriously. The first match of the night shouldn't be the best part of any Raw for any reason...even if it is Battle Royals (which I love).

John Cena vs the WWE Draft. Cena wins. That's the quote of the night right there.

It's just you IWC Vegans and NERDS THAT BOO HIM! Worship the Golden Cena! WORSHIP HIM! Seriously, John Cena is the worst thing to happen to wrestling since... I don't even know. someone give me a good hyperbolic example. John Cena is the worst thing since Vince Russo. There.

One quick note about tonight - Raleigh crowds are ridiculously hot. And mostly pro-Cena. A fight nearly broke out near me between an anti-Cena guy and pro-Cena girl.

Also i WILL say it was brilliant to have Truth do his first heel promo in NC as he's a local, people who are hardcore wrestling fans have seen him in indie promotions around here many years back, smart booking.

i notice that, the SMARK markets are never Pro Cena. Isn't Miami a big heel town?

Please. The ones that are annoyed hardly hurt their bottom line. You must be drunk with second sentence as I have no idea what you are saying.
