Yeah I agree with icerfan, that unexpected return was crazy because I heard the music and then was like "what?" and he got a great pop and elbowed his jacket lol.

Nope he retired in 03.
RKO = "legend killer"....RIP - Stone Cold
The first thing I thought of was the whole McMahon exploding in limo angle but then I heard Vince call Triple H Paul, so I don't know what's going on. If it is all part of a "work" then they definitely got me. I can usually spot these things. I'll have to check more news reports to see what's going on.
It was a good show that I thought had done well to hype the ppv and got some good draft results.
Then Vince goes and does his madness and "seriously injures himself" again.
Wasn't sure if it was a work until the camera got in about him when he was injured. Although he sold the fall well and the others involved in the angle done well.

Yeah that was my first thought too,the whole limo thing.The WWE has finally posted something,but I am still unsure of the whole situation
It was all staged and in good kayfabe. C'mon guys, you don't really think that was an "accidental tragedy" do you?? Ya'll are thinkin of the limo thing and rightfully so. That was sold as real just as much as this probably will be. And Vince callin HHH by Paul is just good acting, and further trying to sell this.
Yep, another way to get ratings that doesn’t involve wrestling. That = WWE.

Alright, yes it looks like the Vince injury is a work. So I guess that means Melina was the only one legitimately injured on RAW. Anyway I actually liked the draft because they traded big names but why in the hell did ECW get seriously screwed? They only got one draft pick. I was happy to see Rey Mysterio and CM Punk go to RAW and actually happy to see Triple H go to Smackdown! I read that he agreed to go and that Undertaker may be moving to RAW. I was hoping that Kennedy or Carlito would've gone to ECW though. On another note, J.R. was legitimately pissed off. He's been saying for a while that he wanted to stay on RAW he definitely showed how angry he was on the air. IMO it was unprofessional. Michael Cole and Jim Ross were both shocked because nobody knew who was being drafted where until it was revealed on air.
I think HHH is going to be drated back to RAW in exchange for Cena, like he did back in 04.
Also The announcers had no idea who was being drafted and it took them all by surprise. That came straight from Vince for sure and was kept secret from them all. By the way, that commentary at the beginning was hilarious with Mike Adamle saying absolutely nothing as they were shooting all over him. You could hear the announcers having trouble keeping from laughing.
Jim Ross was legitimately not happy with his move to SD! as evident by his facial expressions. Michael Cole was more shocked than anything and seemed to feel bad for good ole' J.R. You could also tell Mick was really taken off guard by it as well.
I still can't believe the they drafted JR to SD, he was the voice of RAW domnit!
It looks as if 'Taker is headed to RAW with the ending tonight so that keeps the two off the same brand to avoid issues. That explains why Cena wasn't drafted.

Something tells me that Mr.Stephanie McMahon wont be on Smackdown for long.
And ya, it's been confirmed that its all an angle.
Clicketh.
It seems that so far this angle/staged thing was a way to end the million dollar giveaway bonanza thing. Kinda silly, but at least the whole Money Mania shit is over now. Those segments were disasters.
And ya, JR looked pissed.

That's actually where I get all of my wrestling news from. Good old Wrestlezone.com. I hope the Triple H move sticks and if the Undertaker is going to RAW then I think it will stick. They should of sent John Cena to ECW. Hell they should of sent Batista to ECW.
So how do all of you think the draft is going to affect Night of Champions. Does the Big Show defeat Kane?, Does John Cena defeat Triple H?, or Does Batista defeat Edge?. My guess is the Big Show does win ECW Championship (even though he is a Smackdown star), John Cena does defeat Triple H for the WWE Championship, and Edge defeats Batista for the World Heavyweight Championship. Of course I could be wrong as well but as of right now the top belt on ECW is the U.S. Championship, RAW has the ECW Championship, and Smackdown has both the WWE Championship and the World Heavyweight Championship.

For over a week, I've read on a few of the wrestling news web sites that the creative writer at Smackdown (can't remember his name) had been lobbying Vince to get Triple H over to Smackdown. Something tells me that this time Triple H headed to Smackdown it's going to stick.
With the WWE having a new TV contract for Smackdown taking affect this fall, they have to make a splash with their new broadcast partner, and get their ratings up, get new rivals, new story lines, and get people talking about the new Smackdown additions
Speaking of Smackdown, as I'm sure you guys have read by now, the announcers were left in the dark about who, if anyone, was going where. Yes, JR was, and is pissed about going to Smackdown.
By Tuesday or Wednesday, I think we'll be hearing about some "trades" that took place between the brands. As someone said in an earlier posting, there's a good chance some mid carders will be moved around.

Two things I forgot to put in my last posting.
I've read how Batista wants to retire in a few years, that's my guess why WWE sent him to RAW to give him a "final push".
Also, cutos to Batista for sticking in their after cracking heads with Edge. Besides the blood, you could see the dazed look on Batista's face. Nice effort on his part to hang in there for as long as he did.
