From what I've heard he's needing to take some time off for an injury as well as other things outside of wrestling.
It's been rumored for ages that he's making a jump to RAW so all this will free him up for that move. Hopefully Jericho will jump over to Smackdown at the next draft. He's going to get nowhere on the show as a face if Cena, HHH and HBK are also there and the inclusion of the Taker will make it worse for him. At least on SD he'll have a chance to save us from having Batista in the title picture again.

The draft was quite interesting and in some ways will benefit RAW especially if HHH stays on Smackdown this time, it lessens the chance that some of the proper talent like Jericho will be buried. Not too happy with Cole switching with JR, don't really think bloody announcers should have been involved with the draft in the first place and moving Cole who is possibly one of the worst in the WWE to their big show was a poor decision.

Jeff Hardy Fan!
and just to point out i despise Cena and Edge, im sorry but they get title shots like every pay per view and they dont even have to do anything
and just to point out i despise Cena and Edge, im sorry but they get title shots like every pay per view and they dont even have to do anything
I'm a cena fan and i just saw a fight between Cena and Batista Vs the tag team champions for the title, Cena and Baptista won, and now they are the tag team champions going into their fight at Summer slam like WTF is with that
The new GM thought it would be good to add some "spice" to their already heated battle. Seeing opposite warriors forced to team up and then fight again seems to drive most of the crowd crazy 
They get the shots since they have high positions in the company, sorta sucks since Cena is currently terrible in the character he has but Edge is overall pretty awesome. Sucks that he's likely to be buried with Taker and HHH on the same show now.
You'll probably see being set up for one to turn heel against the other during a future title match in some way, hopefully it'll be Cena although that's unlikely.
TRIPLE H FAN
i REALLY do miss the old days in wrestling. Like the time of the mcmahon helmsley era now that made for good tv but these days the wwe has just failed to impress me anyway. Iv seen alot of christisism due to the fact Stephanie is one of the main writers and included triple h in too much of the big story lines i did agree with this for a little while as i can remember one night triple h being involved in about 4 different areas in the one night think it was the raw 50th anniversery show. But at the same time he is pretty funny so i was not complaining. I loved steph i wish shed return instead of pushin out babies lol
Still the wwe will never be the same i dont think. Its just not having the same impact. But thas just my opinion

I agree, the WWE's golden age was late 1998 to 2001 In my opinion.
Essentially they have tried to replace the Rock and Austin with Cena and Batista and it just doesn't work. I have noticed though that the heels nowadays are of exceptional quality even in comparison to the old days; Jericho is RAW's top heel IMHO and it's good to see him get alot more action than he had say five monthes ago, Edge can work the crowd unbelievably well and John Morrison (while he doesn't get the crowd as worked up as the former two) has a great persona with the mic skills to back it up, as well as exceptional in-ring ability.
So there is still hope that WWE will achieve the same level of entertainment as it had several years ago. But I think the first step in order for this to happen is to turn Cena Heel and ease off the title shots for both Cena and Batista.

Triple H all the way
I watch wrestilng since around 2002 and i have to say, i think they should change the WWE to WWB (Boring). I don't see those fiery rivalries and matches anymore between Triple H/Undertaker/Goldberg/The Rock/Stone Cold and many others... Now wrestling is totally random and corruptive, everyone is dying and reborning over and over
I don't know how many times Mc.Mahon died... Well honestly now i only watch WWE for the fun or when Triple H fights. i also watched with my Ex-Gf a lot of time. Now i rarely watch it... But im still... and always be a Triple H fan
I despise any wrestler who fights unfair or use people to their advantage... Like Edge, JBL and many others. WWE needed to get a new President and put back everything in place.
I watch wrestilng since around 2002 and i have to say, i think they should change the WWE to WWB (Boring). I don't see those fiery rivalries and matches anymore between Triple H/Undertaker/Goldberg/The Rock/Stone Cold and many others... Now wrestling is totally random and corruptive, everyone is dying and reborning over and over
