Yeah, it kinda sucks but like Monk said, he's just trying to be the employee of the month and hoping it all blows over. Remember, this is the same company he "denounced his heritage" for.
The main problem is the Raw writers are absolutely unfit to write a wrestling show of any sort, so stupitidy will reign until someone hires people who know and give a damn about wrestling, instead of the current crop of Hollywood rejects who just want to move on to "real" shows/movies.
