Hey Dave,
I enjoyed RAW..my gut feelings were on the money again with Jeff Hardy and HHH going to SD, but Jim Ross was a downer for me. We'll see if HHH changes the ratings...Edge has lots of new challengers now, Kennedy, HHH and Hardy..
Raw will be interesting to see as they still have a lot of babyfaces, I guess Kane or Batista will turn heel. I hope its Batista so he can feud with HBK and Cena...maybe CM will turn as well...anyway lots of changes..
It will be strange to see JR and HHH on SD since theyve been on RAW forever...anyway in one year another draft will occur..
The angle with Vince getting attacked by the set was a cool angle where everyone who ever feuded with him tried to save him & Vince was calling for Paul which was a neat touch, of course a lot of us knew that the Paul reference was HHH but it was a nice touch to the angle, added that realism to our fake sports entertainment that we all love or laugh at...
Ill call this a good show...I now think Ted Dibiase's partner will be Chris Harris from TNA who did sign with WWE some time ago...as well as Ron Killings but hasnt been on TV yet, no ideas for him
I thought it would be a great angle if Ted came out by himself introduced his partner and Cody Rhodes goes heel attacks Holly, pins him and Cody and Ted become 2nd generation Tag Team champions..
This is the first time in a long while WWE has some intrigue..
Im sure youre getting a million emails about this RAW, so thanks for taking the time to read mine :)

PS that battle royal was one of the better ones ive seen on TV, Batista bled hardware Im assuming, it was a good gusher :)

Dave,

Not that wrestling or Vince have ever been classy, but considering what happened a year ago and the fact that less than a month ago a TNA production worker died from a set falling, is it really the best time for this kind of story?

I've attached what I saw on WWE.com this morning: Tragedy Strikes.
 
Never confuse Vince McMahon or WWE creative for people with good taste.
 
In a business in which "Tragedy Strikes" is far too often appropriate
headline (Benoit, Guerrero, Von Erich, et al.)  using that verbiage and
photo for an angle is in very poor taste.  Very poor.
 
What maks it worse is that this angle was given as the reason for the
suspension of the Million Dollar giveaway.  Who are we kidding?  The
giveaway came across as desperate - it didn't move the needle and the
rickrolling was deserved.
 
You would think after all these years, Vince would have gained some wisdom
about severe injury or near death angles.  Wasn't it just a year ago that
Vince was killed off?  Then look what happened.
 
Wonder why fans like me who lived and breathed the Monday Night Wars
aren't watching anymore?  This is a big reason why.

Dave,
I only watched bits and pieces of last night's Raw
which is more than normal (Red Sox vs. Diamondbacks
was far more interesting), but like after last year I
have to ask, what is the point of a random draft
especially when each show (minus Raw maybe at the
moment) has a GM character?  Don't you think that they
should be making the choices, I mean, that would only
make sense that they want to make their brand better.
As for who went where, I'm not sure of how things will
shake out, nor am I sure that I care (I guess my only
intial thought was RAW just got a ton worse minus the
Michaels, and his students?, vs. Jericho, and the
young DiBiase lead faction?, rivalry and that I look
forward to JR and Mick Foley working together on
Smackdown). 
 
Also, has Vince been watching General Hospital lately
and wanting turn into the evil Anthony Zacchara
character being put into a wheelchair then role back
for revenge or will we see him perform a miracle on
himself (since he feels he is GOD in terms of
wrestling) and heal himself to walk again (or perhaps
Brother Love could return to help)?
