WWE & USA Teaming up to Kill Us All

Posted in Raw Regurgitation | Comments Off

In a Tweet just released by WWE’s very own John Cena:

 

 

So, um, yeah.  Three hours of this shit from July until USA realizes that the ratings are going to be even worse than they have been up until now.  Imagine the possibilities though:

WWE could truly work to develop younger talent and characters, build intriguing and fun storylines, and most of all, with that extra hour of programming to fill they won’t have any more excuses not to work MORE actual wrestling into the show…right?

Wrong.  This is how it’s going to turn out.  We’ll get even more recaps and video packages.  Tons more backstage hijinks between whoever the hell is in charge and acting like the corporate asshole and we’ll see even more commercials than ever before.

Yes, it’s going to be the same 4 matches that last all of 20 minutes combined, along with even more stilted dialogue and uncomfortable acting in the ring and behind the curtain for your viewing pleasure.

My RAW Regurgitation is typically clocking at least 3,000 words per entry, and now they’re going to make me go to damn near 5,000 words to convey what they couldn’t in three hours of programming.

I have to say, this is an awful idea and I see it being scaled back down to two hours by September.  And that’s too goddamned long to wait if you ask me.

Raw Regurgitation – Political Debates Is RAW!

Political Debates and Wrasslin go together like Milk Chocolate and Vinegar

Yeeeaaaahhhh.  We opened our show with a debate in the ring of the six competitors in the RAW team version of the upcoming Elimination Chamber PPV event this Sunday.  Sure, why not?  Everyone loves political debates, especially kids and wrestling fans.  That’s what they paid good money to come and see.  A bunch of living cartoon action figures standing behind makeshift podiums and give us their “campaign” speeches about how they’re going to win the Elimination Chamber.

I understand it’s difficult to come up with new and innovative ways to showcase the competitors in your upcoming Pay Per View event, but how about you quite trying to do that?  Just work in a pre-taped promo from each one of them throughout the night in a little box window to the corner of the in-ring action.  You’re just embarrassing yourselves here.
