I can see his point, He has been announcing on RAW with Jerry Lawler for basically his whole career, So i can understand where he's coming from, He has a reason to be upset.

JR has sounded horrible over the past few years. I personally cant stand him much anymore. Im glad he got sent to SD!.

JR is such a little bitch. Suck it up, be a man, and go do your job.

All I can say is. If HHH took one for the team, so can J.R.

God, he is such a baby. He literally pouts and moans on camera? Very unprofessional and childish. He always pouts when he doesn't get his way. Wow, thanks for deciding to do your job "for the fans" like he's doing us some kind of favor. He's lucky he got to be on Raw as long as he did, seeing as how he barely knows how to call half the wrestling moves. Plenty of people got switched and it was a surprise to them as well, but you didn't see anyone else moping around acting like their dog just died. Oh yeah, im sure HHH had no idea that he was going to move, and i bet CM Punk was real upset he got drafted to the A Show. The only ones i expect didnt know is The Hardys, Punk, and Umaga. Im sure Mysterio, Batista, and HHH were told ahead of time. Thats whats crappy about it. Do you think HHH would be OK w/ going to SD! if it wasnt his choice? He CHOSE to go to SD!. JR has every right to gripe about being drafted. Youd be pissed if you were him, anyone who thinks theyd act any different than JR did if they were in his position is a moron.

JR is really the only one who got a short stick out of the draft.
Jeff Hardy is lucky he's still has a job, and he can do more on SD!
Matt Hardy might actually have a shot at a World title on ECW!
Umaga had nothing left for him on Raw.
Same for Kennedy.
Mysterio finally got moved to a different brand which opens up a lot for him.
CM Punk had done everything there is to do on ECW.
And JR lost his spot as the voice of Monday Night Raw. One he's had far longer than any superstar had been on their brand.

I actually think this could work out good for JR.
On Smackdown they have long matches, with storyline reason behind all of them, whilst on Raw they have 3 minute matches with brawls and no reason behind them.
Plus Foley is already a better commentator than King is.
Sure JR is a Raw staple but this draft was really meant to shake up the foundation and really this was a perfect way for a fresh feel.

This works in WWE's favor in all ways:
1. Raw probably won't suffer that much because let's be honest (they've been putting on some pretty bad shows for quite a while and still getting killer ratings for the most part)
2. With Smackdown moving to the new network they need to give people a reason to turn to that channel. JR is the obvious choice to help bring that show more respectability.
3. Since Cole has the next most experience perhaps they are just preparing him for the inevitable when JR leaves. This way he'll have some good experience
4. Everyone's going to complain about the show either way.
