“WWE’s mission is to put smiles on people’s faces — and now we will attempt the same with Grumpy Cat,” WWE Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon said. “We are going to do everything in our power to make sure she has a good time.”

The Pro Wrestling Community thread has been buzzing with anticipation all week and collectively agreed that this great moment in the history of our sport should be shared with all of you.


Get hyped.

Why?

 

[Alienous]

I wonder if it'll meow "$9.99".

 

[Veritigo_X]

They're a little late to the party on this one...

 

[DECK'ARD]

Grumpy Cat has an odd logo

 

[plagiarize]

If they don't work an angle with Tyson Kidd, I'm going to be very disappointed.

 

[Hasney]

They're a little late to the party on this one...

He's there to promote the Grumpy Cat Movie.... So it's still going on.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!

 

[SgtCobra]

I wonder if it'll meow "$9.99".

Hahahaha shit

 

[DMczaf]

Don't do this to us. Don't promote this Raw on OT!

Hide our shame in OT Community!

[Mesoian]

Why?

Because they have to do SOMETHING.

 

[BoboBrazil]

Won't be satisfied unless they do a segment with Grumpy Cat and Ernest "The Cat" Miller.

 

[SJRB]

So is the cat going to piledrive somebody?

 

[disappeared]

Sure, why not.

Team FnP, we out here.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

No Michael Sam, so Grumpy Cat is the next best get.

 

[Vylash]

bean, why

 

[Veritigo_X]

Hollywood is even later to the party then. I really doubt kids are talking about Grumpy Cat anymore.

 

[MoodyFog]

There's a channel called usa?

 

[strafer]

please stop

this is animal cruelty

let the cat be for fuck sake

[Heroman]

Wonder what team will Grumpy cat be on?

Thanks.
That's a pretty good name

 

[LanceVance]

From German footballer to grumpy cat

Really starting to scrape the bottom of the barrel now...

Poor Grumpy. I think she's beautiful.

 

[Macho Madness]

 

[MikeHattsu]

Haha. What the hell?

 

[El Topo]

Come on, you gotta love Wiese. He was only at a house show (and generated a ton of publicity for them in Germany), nothing wrong with having a bit of fun there.

 

[Masquerader]

Team FnP, we out here.

'Attempt' being the key word here. Still, I'm willing to bet that they'll surprise us with it being actually funny. So long as they don't make her THE focus of the show for all 3 hours.

 

[Uno Venova]

WWE is a corny product that appeals to kids. It is known.

 

[El Pescado]

I am excited. I will be even more excited if Aubrey Plaza is also there

 

[simplythebest]

PPV buyrates will be skyrocketing tonight for sure.

 

[jred2k]

Don't do this to us. Don't promote this Raw on OT!

#ShipBeSinking

You wanted to be captain.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

Sigh......will watch.

 

[Wanace]

How many lives does grumpy cat have?

Spoiler

9.99

 

[studyguy]

People really have a thing with cats these days.

 

[krae_man]

 

[leakey]

Sounds like a purrfectly good time.

Stop posting Cena promo spoilers.

Know what's funny? They keep trying to appeal to kids, yet their audience keeps skewing older and older. Kids want to watch a cool product that their older brothers watch and WWE is not that because they've pretty much lost the teen audience.

 

[Collete]

I kinda wish they let just Tardar Sauce just be a cat and not keep going public all the time.
I mean the first time when she went big is fine but...I dunno it just seems a bit excessive how the owners are putting her in almost everything these days.

That's just my two cents though.

[Trojita]

Came in here to ask "Why?". Covered by first post.

OP done goofed though. The cat in the OP picture isn't "grumpy cat".

Oh yeah they're definitely not doing a good job at appealing to kids. Honestly I think most of the viewers are just older legacy viewers who watched WWF when it was actually cool, like me 3 years ago.

 

[ratcliffja]

We have a snowshoe cat, which is the same breed as Grumpy Cat. Ironically, snowshoes are actually some of the friendliest and most loyal cats out there. They're about as far from grumpy as you can get with a pet.

That pic is from WWE's website. I'd like to believe that they've learned their lesson from that stunt they pulled with "Razor Ramon" and "Diesel" coming back to WWF but you can never be sure with this company.

 

[CDiggity]

I hate it when they get guest hosts who can't take bumps.

 

[Kaladin]

Who are we kidding, Grumpy Cat is the best we can expect from a go-home show for a free PPV.
