Couldn't be happier to see Ziggler get the win. I was afraid he would just fade away on Raw. However, you said, "Evan Bourne taunts with the United States title and points around the arena as we go to a video."
Thought I'd let you know.
Not really surprised to see Punk get the win. I expect the feud to continue onto Over the Limit. Don' really know who the man was. Maybe Seth Rollins? Nice to see The Corre get the win. Keeping them strong. Rey winning is no surprise. I can see Cody move up the rankings a bit after this match/feud. Eve winning is fine. Would've preferred Layla. Good to see Kharma debut. Hopefully, she wins the belt on Raw. Happy to see Lawler/Bryan get the win. Hopefully, that means it's the end of the feud between Cole & Lawler. Glad that The Miz won. I would like to see him try and hold it as close to a year as possible. Extremely happy Christian won. He deserved it. A nice moment with him and Edge.
Overall, a good show. Can't wait to see where you take it from here.

- The man who helped CM Punk pick up the victory at Extreme Rules was former indy talent and FCW Tag Team Champion, Seth Rollins. Plans seem to be for Rollins, Punk and a possible other member to join up, which would mean The New Nexus is completely done for.
- WWE has released the poster for Over The Limit, which can be viewed here.
- There are reports that WWE is in negotiations with ROH Tag Team, Kings of Wrestling; Claudio Castagnoli and Chris Hero along with recently released TNA talent, Jay Lethal. They feel as if these 3 signings could help rebuild the tag team division. |

Solid PPV in all. The parts I liked where the fact that with Ziggler's new attitude and look, his title win can boost it up and that's a plus. The CM Punk win was great and I'm glad you're turning away from the current WWE as it is now and giving Punk a good run. The Diva's match sorta' feels like it was thrown together but it was a good match overall. The Christian win was amazing and I'm glad he is getting a title push finally. I also just saw your ProWrestling.Net update and I'm extremely happy to see you put Seth Rollins towards the WWE scene, it's about time.
All in all, I enjoyed the PPV I'm hoping to see more from you.

I hate seeing Sheamus losing the title but Ziggler going over there is nice. Punk going over there is a great call, can't wait to see what you do with him next. The Corre going over there is nice and I hope they become a solid group sooner or later. Mysterio going over there is a nice way to end the feud I suppose. Wonder what Rhodes will do next. Lawler making Cole tap hopefully ends their feud. Miz retaining the way he did was great and nice to see him going over there. Christian winning is a fantastic way to end the show. Hopefully he will have a great run here. Overall, good PPV, hope the aftermath of it will be great.

Haven't been following this as much as I'd like to since you have your stuff sorted out. Christian going over and becoming champion is perfect and I hope you leave this as be. Some decisions had me confused, but will hope to lead to bigger things. Love the outcome of the Submission tag match and also like Miz retaining. What I don't like, however, is Seth Rollins debuting to help Punk. I wish you'd have him get over on his own. Also, don't bring in too many indy guys or you'll end up like every other WWE diary! Keep it up my friend!

WWE Extreme Rules: Sunday 1st May 2011...I would say that the graphics are a little too dark for my liking honestly. I feel as though the opening contest was just a thrown together bout to get the WWE United States Championship off of Sheamus in a credible manner. With Dolph Ziggler's new look, it makes sense for him to win the title. Evan Bourne is past the point of a push and Sin Cara probably lost credibility in this one. I feel like the Belfast Brawl stipulation wasn't necessary. The fatal four-way stipulation is enough. Good Extreme Rules match with Randy Orton and CM Punk, wish they had a better stipulation though. Great decision for Punk to win after Orton won at WrestleMania XXVII. The Corre avenging their WrestleMania loss in the Tables elimination match was brilliant, really disliked Justin Gabriel and Wade Barrett getting the win in the finish, Ezekiel Jackson is the muscle and should have finished their opponents off. Rey Mysterio evening things up after losing to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania was solid, though Rey won, I predict Cody to being a potential World Heavyweight Champion later in the year. Another case of regaining momentum from losing at WrestleMania. Three rematches in a row with the opposite finish to what happened at WrestleMania a month earlier is overkill though. Speaking of overkill, another fatal four-way match that definitely didn't need the no-disqualification match stipulation. Eve retaining was likely. Kharma's debut was nicely done, don't give her the WWE Divas Championship too quickly though. A second elimination stipulation match wasn't so necessary. Was hopefully the end of their rivalry though, it's too repetitive. Liked Michael Cole suffering for his insults to Jerry Lawler at long last. Also love how Jack Swagger wasn't involved in the finish. The submission stipulation was always the best idea for this. And next, despite the fact that this is a triple threat match as compared to the two fatal four-way bouts before this, I think it's overkill to have three multi-man matches throughout the card. The Miz retaining was odd, but the best decision. Don't care for the Falls Count Anywhere gimmick. And lastly, what definitely should have main evented the pay-per-view, Christian winning the World Heavyweight Championship against Alberto Del Rio in a ladder match in what is hopefully the final appearance of Edge. Overall, the show wasn't too bad, just featured a lot longer than I thought. It wasn't a bad start, but I'd have spread the title matches out a bit rather than back to back. In addition, some clustered matches, too many overkill bouts. Some faulty decisions here and there, but you did a reasonable job of an awkward situation.

Credit to Hova for Draft Graphics
| May 2nd, 2011 | Location: Miami, Florida | Venue: American Airlines Arena
We open up the show with a video package highlighting the results from Extreme Rules.
We soon go into the ring, where returning announcer Lilian Garcia sings the National Anthem in honor of the US Navy Seals killing Osama Bin Laden.
She then introduces the man of the night, The Rock, who makes his way out to the ring to a large pop from the sold out American Airlines Arena. The Rock gets on the mic, but before he says his signature "Finally" line, he says 3 simple words. We got him. The crowd then begins to chant USA as The Rock looks around the arena for a minute or so. The Rock then says Finally he has come back.. home. The Rock talks about his childhood, growing up in Miami and how he's going to be here next year when he goes One on One with the Fruity Pebble himself, John Cena at Wrestlemania 28. The crowd gets loud at the mentioning of John Cena, but The Rock says tonight isn't about John Cena, even though he's going to make sure he has a talk with him tonight. The Rock says tonight is the night where lifes change and futures change, of course he's talking about the WWE Draft. He also says that it's the night of the most entertaining birthday in the history of television! But, before he can say anything else Cody Rhodes makes his way down the ramp to a lot of Boo's. Rhodes says that The Rock shouldn't be out here talking about his birthday, because honestly no one cares. Rhodes says it should be all about how he got cheated last night in his match against Rey Mysterio and how he was robbed of a chance to push himself up the ladder. The Rock then cuts Rhodes off and asks him his signature line, "Who in the blue hell are you?" but, before Rhodes can say anything it's cut off by, "It doesn't matter who you are!". Rhodes talks about how he's the future of the WWE, so The Rock should take back what he said. The Rock says that if Rhodes is the future, then why was he getting his monkey ass kicked around the arena last night by Rey Mysterio? Rhodes steps up into Rock's face, but before they can get physical
the Anonymous Raw GM sends in an e-mail. The e-mail reads that the GM is sorry for interupting this heated segment, but the first match of the draft night has to begin right now, so The Rock needs to get out of the ring. The Rock walks backstage with his head tilted at Cole. ★ Cody Rhodes defeated Daniel Bryan to gain One draft pick for Smackdown. ★A good back and forth match, where Bryan was able to lock in some submission moves and use some technical ability on Rhodes. The ending came when Rhodes nailed a huge headbut on Bryan when he leaped off the turnbuckle. Rhodes then nailed the Cross Rhodes and covered him to get the 3 count. Cody Rhodes then looks up at the randomizer to see who is going to Smackdown. Randy Orton has been drafted to Smackdown![/color][/url] Rhodes looks up at his Ex-Legacy partner in shock as Orton comes out dawned in a Smackdown T-shirt to a good pop. [ Commercial Break ]
We return as Scott Stanford is backstage with John Morrison. Morrison says that he was robbed at Extreme Rules, and he actually has a good reason unlike Cody Rhodes. Morrison says that he had Cena pinned 1, 2, 3. But, The Miz had to get involved and do what he does best, pick up the scraps. Morrison says tonight in that brand battle royal, he's not going to be fighting for his brand or fighting for teamwork. He's going to be fighting for himself ★ Sin Cara and The Great Khali defeated Justin Gabriel and Heath Slater ★ in a Non-Title Match to gain 2 picks for Monday Night Raw! The unlikely team of Khali and Sin Cara got a win in this one as it was a decent match back and fourth. The ending came when Khali nailed a Chokebomb onto Slater and tagged in Cara, who went on Khali's shoulders and splashed Slater. He hooked the leg up and got the 3. After the match, Khali and Cara celebrate as they look up at the randomizer on the titantron. Kofi Kingston has been drafted to Raw! Kofi Kingston walks on the ramp and claps his hands to a nice pop. Rey Mysterio has been drafted to Raw! The masked luchador walks onto the ramp and nods down at Sin Cara as the crowd gives a huge pop! [ Commercial Break ] We return, as video plays highlighting The Rock's life and his time in the WWE, which was a birthday present from Mr. McMahonWe return to the ring where CM Punk made his way down to the ramp, followed by Seth Rollins. Punk gets on the mic and introduces the WWE Universe to Seth Rollins. He says that Rollins is a man that can get the job done and he could count on, which is why he asked for his help at Extreme Rules. Punk says that the WWE tried to hold Rollins down because he's not a home-grown superstar and they tried to do the same to himself when he first came into the business. He handed Rollins the mic and told him the ring was his. Rollins introduced himself and talked about his history, how he worked himself up in the indy's to get where he is today, much like CM Punk. CM Punk takes the mic and says that The New Nexus was a lost cause to begin with, he just used them to try to get over on Randy Orton. Punk then says tonight marks a new beginning for CM Punk and a beginning for Seth Rollins. An Independent Beginning. Teddy Long then makes his way out to the ring and announces that CM Punk is going to go One on One with Smackdown's new World Heavyweight Champion, Christian for two draft picks right now! defeated CM Punk for two draft picks! ★A very good contest that showed why Christian is the new World Heavyweight Champion. Christian and Punk went back and forth pretty much the entire match. Seth Rollins tried to get involved when he got onto the apron, but when Punk charged at Christian, Christian moved out of the way and Punk collided with Rollins. Christian then hit the Killswitch and covered Punk for the 3 count. After the match, Christian looks up at the ramp; waiting for the randomizer as Raw superstar's scroll through it. Sin Cara has been drafted to Smackdown! The up and coming Sin Cara makes his way out to the ramp, jumping up and down dawned in a Smackdown shirt to a decent pop, he then moves to the side for the next draftee. Sheamus has been drafted to Smackdown! The Celtic Warrior makes his way onto the ramp as he makes the title belt gesture and stares at Christian. [ Commercial Break ] We return as some of the WWE's Roster is backstage for The Rock's birthday party special. The Rock is shown fist-pumping with Zack Ryder, but then makes his way over to see The Miz. The Miz then holds up the WWE Championship to The Rock and says that "Cena can't do it." The Rock says that Miz is right, Cena wasn't able to win last night. Rock also says that at Wrestlemania 28 it doesn't have to be for the WWE Championship, but if Cena wants to win the title, only to lose it the Jabroni beating a-la-la-la-laow, pie eating, eyebrow raising -- but, The Miz cuts him off and says yeah, yeah, we know the rest. Miz then tells Rock that he didn't need his help at Wrestlemania and he doesn't want to make friends. John Morrison then bumps into Miz as The Rock stares on at Morrison and Miz arguing. Morrison tells Miz that the WWE Title should be his, and he's going to make sure it is his one way or another.[/center] ★ Eve defeated Layla to gain one draft pick for Raw! ★A good match, but somewhat short. The ending came when Layla went for the neckbreaker, but Eve spinned out of it and nailed a fishermen's suplex. She followed up by going on the top turnbuckle and nailing a moonsault onto Layla to get the 3 count. Before the draft randomizer begins flickering, Kharma makes her way down to the ring. She quickly snatches up Eve and hits her with an Implant Buster. She turns her attention to Layla and nails another one on her as she laughs a bit. The draft randomizer board then begins flickering through Smackdown superstars as Kharma walks up the ramp. The Big Show has been drafted to Raw![/url] The Big Show makes his way onto the ramp in a Raw shirt as he stares at Kharma, who walks past him with a blank stare. [ Commercial Break ] We return as The Rock makes his way out to the ring for the last time tonight. The Rock says it's been a great birthday and he wants to thank the millions... (and millions) of his fans for showing up tonight and watching on television. The Rock then says he wants to thank the WWE for letting him host his Birthday Party on Raw and for letting him come home after all these years. He then says he wants to talk to John Cena, which gets a big pop. The arena goes quiet for a minute until John Cena makes his way down the ramp to a loud crowd, some boo'ing; some cheering. Cena then gets on the mic and asks Rock why he called him out here. Rock says that he wanted to tell Cena that he may not have won the WWE Title, but he still believes Cena will win it eventually and then at Wrestlemania he will be more than glad to take it off of Cena's shoulder and become a 10 time World Champion. The two stare-down for a bit until The Rock tells Cena that he better get his fruity tooty pebble ass ready for this battle royal, because he's going to sit at ringside and he wants to be entertained. wins a 20 man Battle Royal to gain two draft picks for Smackdown! ★Raw Superstars! - Alex Riley, Big Show, Dolph Ziggler, John Cena, John Morrison, Kofi Kingston, Mason Ryan, The Miz, Rey Mysterio, and Ted DiBiase
Smackdown Superstars! - Alberto Del Rio, Brodus Clay, Chris Masters, Drew McIntyre, Ezekiel Jackson, Jack Swagger, Kane, Randy Orton, Sheamus, and Wade BarrettA jam-packed battle royal started and there was action everywhere as it ensued. Highlights of this match including Kane and Big Show trying to eliminate each other, but Mason Ryan tossed Kane out and accidently eliminated Big Show in the process. Randy Orton and Ziggler ended up getting eliminated together when Ziggler hit a clothesline that knocked them both out. In the final 4 it came down to one remaining Smackdown superstar, Alberto Del Rio and 3 Raw superstars; John Cena, John Morrison and The Miz. They all 3 had Del Rio cornered until Morrison turned and began to attack The Miz! Morrison hit Miz with some punches before he clotheslined him out of the ring and followed him out there as they brawled around the arena. Cena and Del Rio fought back and forth for a bit, until The Rock got up from his seat at ringside and pretended he was going to go in the ring, which distracted Cena long enough for Del Rio to throw him over the top rope and win the match. After the match, The Rock and John Cena stared down at ringside until John Cena decided to just walk away. Morrison chased Miz off to the backstage area and Del Rio waited for the draft randomizer. R-Truth has been drafted to Smackdown! R-Truth walked on the ramp and began to dance back and forth singing What's Up with the crowd, but then went to the side of the ramp for the next draftee. Triple H has been drafted to Smackdown! The crowd goes absoluetely nuts as Triple H makes his way onto the ramp with Sledgehammer in hand and all. He points down at Del Rio and you can easily read his lips as he tells him "It's Game Over." Triple H does his signature taunt on the ramp to end Raw [/font] |

Yes, awesome draft, this is the draft that I have been waiting for, a whole draft where main eventers get drafted from show to show, awesome, especially Triple H getting drafted to Smackdown, the best pick of the night by far along with my man Orton, both of them on Friday nights, so stoked

WWE Draft - Really not to sure on mixing the draft and Rock's birthday celebration on the same show. Very interesting to have Cody Rhodes be the one to interrupt Rock, although somebody like Miz would've made more sense, but it's fine as it transitioned into the first match. Sweet opening bout with Rhodes and Bryan. A huge draft pick for SmackDown in Randy Orton. Needed to be done. Very odd team with Khali and Cara if i'm honest. Them going over Gabriel and Slater kind of takes away some of The Corre's credibility, which they desperately need. Nonetheless, two solid Raw picks in Kingston and Mysterio. Only complaint so far is that your picks are following the actual draft. Great victory for the new World Heavyweight Champion Christian over CM Punk. This is one of my favorite matches to do in a diary. Sheamus going to SmackDown is much needed, but I think Cara would've been fine on Raw. Eve over Layla for a Divas pick, but I love Kharma's attack on Eve following the match. Big Show to Raw is decent I suppose. Didn't need to have that moment with him and Kharma though. Great confrontation with Cena and Rock. I expect to see more of these in the coming months to build Mania, so try to make all of their confrontations different from one another. Del Rio winning the Battle Royal is great, and I love how Rock was the cause for Cena's elimination. Truth to SmackDown is fine. Turn him heel soon though as his face character is incredibly stale. Triple H to SmackDown is rather huge, but he'll most likely stay semi active for the rest of the year. A solid Draft edition of Raw and it should be interesting to see what you do with the new rosters.

Good opening promo from The Rock. Surprised to see Cody interrupt but I said he could be moving on up. Rhodes beating Bryan is good. Hopefully, Smackdown doesn't get destroyed tonight. Orton to Smackdown is a good move. Smackdown needs some top guys. Not too excited to see Khali and Cara get the win over an actual team. Kofi & Rey to Raw are good moves for them, but not Smackdown. I called it! I said it was Rollins! Happy to see Christian get the win. Cara and Sheamus are good moves. I can see Sin Cara moving up to the title picture, pretty quickly. Eve winning is fine, I guess. Not sure how I feel about Show getting drafted. Would've liked to see him stay on SD. I noticed that you called Kharma, "Awesome Kong". Del Rio winning is fine. Got him over nicely. Couldn't be happier to see Hunter and Truth get drafted. Smackdown really got the goods on this one. Good job with that. The only problem, for me, is that it was so close to the actual draft. As for the Supplemental Draft, happy to see Dibiase get traded. Would've liked to have seen Mason Ryan get drafted to SD.
Overall, really good show. Would've liked to have seen something different than the actual draft, but you pulled this off nicely.

WWE RAW: Monday 2nd May 2011...The Rock kicking off the show is a great way to start obviously due to it being his birthday. Also love how you merged his birthday with the Draft. Very big ratings expected. Cody Rhodes' interruption is amazing elevation, I love it. Rock demoralizing Cody is nice, but I doubt Rock would allow the anonymous General Manager interrupt him. Badly executed finish to that promo. Did wonders for Rhodes though. Especially when Cody beats Daniel Bryan. Randy Orton as the first draft is great, may I add. I instantly see Orton and Rhodes having the first feud. Sin Cara and Great Khali...not digging the randomness of that team. But hopefully it's just a one night thing. Justin Gabriel and Heath Slater are nearly wrecked in the WWE, the rollercoaster year they've had. They have almost zero momentum now. Same with the Corre as a whole. Kofi Kingston and Rey Mysterio to RAW...hopefully SmackDown recovers with a big draft pick again. I'd rather have the two uppercarders than one main eventer. CM Punk's promo was nice, Seth Rollins' beginning is amazing. Hopefully you show off a lot more of his character. Would also do great if Mason Ryan broke away from the Nexus. Christian beating CM Punk is acceptable I suppose, lets Christian show why he's a credible World Heavyweight Champion. I just don't find him to be that good a draw. Sin Cara and Sheamus to SmackDown is fine, Sheamus probably going for Christian...you'll need to push both men quite a bit if that feud became a proper draw. Amusing Rock interaction. Eve beating Layla is fine I suppose. The pattern is a little repetitive though, SmackDown, RAW, SmackDown, RAW. The Big Show to RAW is alright I guess. Show and Kharma interaction sure was interesting. The Rock's promo was good, more interaction with Rock and John Cena for in ten months. Alberto Del Rio winning the WWE Draft is excellent, R-Truth will do better on SmackDown and gaining Triple H is amazing. But honestly, what more can Hunter do? It's just a generic big addition to SmackDown. I can't see him doing a lot since he's almost at the end of his career. A decent episode of RAW, but you focused a bit too much on the undercard, and it really should have showed some sort of build for Over the Limit in three weeks. The Miz is WWE Champion and doesn't have a promo? Should have, rather than being lost in that cluster battle royal.
WWE Supplemental Draft: Mark Henry to SmackDown could be decent. He was most over there. Drew McIntyre to RAW is interesting, hopefully he gets over there. Evan Bourne is better off on the blue brand. A feud with Sin Cara would be great. Jack Swagger on RAW as expected. Zack Ryder to SmackDown...not bothered. Chris Masters still has a lot of potential in him and should have some sort of title reign in my mind. Just think he was better on SmackDown. Ted Dibiase...hopefully you can rebuild him. He's almost past the point of no return. Tyler Reks on RAW...not digging it. Melina on SmackDown gives the blue brand's womens division some momentum. If it's not killed by Kharma, anyway. Kelly Kelly to RAW is good, after the outstanding push she had earlier this year with Vickie Guerrero. William Regal is better on SmackDown, one last push for him please? Beth Phoenix to RAW could be good. Sets her up for a potential feud with Kharma. Tyson Kidd to SmackDown is better. JTG and Trent Barreta on RAW though...can imagine them getting lost there. Not a bad draft this year.

I'm glad you drafted R Truth to Smackdown, he could easily be a main eventer on the brand. Not the biggest fan of Triple H going to smackdown though, means you have something planned for him, haha. Sin Cara & Great Khali is such a random team, haha.
