What the hell is a SEC violation?

It freaking wouldn't. Dude is a derp. Sorry, should've been more clear.

I have been doing a lot of that lately - quite a lot since October (when Cena squashed MitB cash-in). My only full RAW since then was Old School.Watched bits of last week too.
Gonna watch tonight as I am interested in what they do. Blindly continuing, not acknowledging last night, or trying salvage and repair the anger on show are both interesting.
I have been annoyed by WWE before, but never annoyed enough to have interest in how "wrong" (IMO) they could get things. I am happy to watch tonight, just to see what happens, for better or worse.
Alright, I'm still not really getting it. What is the problem exactly people are discussing?
I don't even know .. a comment was made that it was an SEC violation but I'm having a hard time identifying what that would be. If anything it would be misrepresentation of the product? Who knows ...

The SEC is just a bunch of old southern good 'ol boys exploiting young black talent. They have no jurisdiction over WWE.
Also, guys, the whole 'I'll watch Raw just to see the train wreck' is just as bad as the 'long term booking' people. Either way, you're giving them ratings. You're telling them it's ok for a monopoly on North American televised pro wrestling to shovel out crap.
Christ, the Mysterio boos were more insane than I realised when I streamed the event on my phone. This is from the crowd:

The dude who posted it to the page was an idiot thinking it was an SEC violation. That said, the fact that it's already being edited to be a positive, while expected, is hilarious, hence why I quoted it here.
Editing out the chants during the show somehow violates...something.
Think I'll wait for Zeb to tell me it's a violation before I get up in arms.
They do it every Smackdown.
He is also the man the majority of the audience wants to see and the one that gets the biggest chants and ovations every week. That is the actual truth.

I am happy to give them ratings. This "head in the ground," blindly pushing forward mentality is some of the most compelling material they have done in years.
Alright then. I was confused because it seemed like totally a thing that is alright for them to do. I mean I hate their revisionist bullshit but they are totally allowed to do that.
The alleged violation would be that the WWE is purposely trying to mislead investors in regards to the state of their product.

And they do it badly. It's glorious. Completely off-pitch noises all over the place.
More of this. All aboard the race to the bottom.
Vince does that in every conference call.
He edits in Cena chants? Fuck that sounds amazing!

It's a Wrestling Business, it's their job to mislead.

I think I'm okay with watching and not buying the PPVs just so I can kinda be in the backseat for all the chaos.
That said, I'm torn as to whether or not I want Mania. The possibility of Batista winning, plus HHH beating Punk and Sheamus beating Bryan again, combined with the crowd reactions to it all, seems like a trainwreck I'm just not sure I want to miss out on viewing.

Imagine if the opening of RAW tonight was the closing moments of the Rumble, clips of the Cena/Orton match, shots of the audience booing, chanting, rebelling against the product, excerpts of media footage (TMZ and the like), Foley's tweet, him throwing a brick through his TV and they aired that in the arena audience as well.
RAW kicks off with an echoing chorus of boos and Daniel Bryan chants. The Authority's music hits. Brad Maddox comes out and gets booed before he can say anything. Then Vickie comes out. Then Corporate Kane comes out. The fans are just getting more and more incensed. Then Triple H & Stephanie come out. Then Vince comes out. The fans are just letting them all collectively have it.
Vince: "You're all so upset I didn't have Daniel Bryan in the Rumble match. Is that it? You think I don't listen to the WWE Universe? Fine. I'll give you what you want, damn it. Tonight, in this very ring for the first time ever, we're going to redo the end of the Rumble. We'll have the same people in the middle of the ring as there were towards the end of the Rumble match before the last 5 entrants came out. And because I'm such a nice guy, I'll add a spot at the end and we'll have Daniel Bryan come out and join the match."
The Rumble resumption match takes place. The ring is filled with the same combatants as there were last night after Erick Rowan comes out. Some spots play out differently from last night. Perhaps CM Punk susses out Kane's would-be interference this time around. Ryback, Del Rio, Batista, Big E and Rey come out in sequence just as before.
The crowd counts down for Daniel Bryan. D.Brine comes out and starts cleaning house with Punk. Instead of Reigns lasting to the end, he gets punked out by Ambrose. It comes down to Batista and Bryan, Bryan does some crazy sequence. Eliminates Big Dave over the top rope. The place goes bananas. Bryan celebrates. Points to the WrestleMania sign.
Vince's music plays and he comes out. "Wait, I didn't say this would change the results from last night. This was just a match. Batista is still going to WrestleMania XXX to challenge for the WWE World Heavyweight Champion whomever that may be. And if you think that's going to be Daniel Bryan, I've got two words for ya."
"Brogue Kick!"
Sheamus has taken this opportunity to sneak into the ring to kick Bryan's head off and RAW closes leaving Bryan dead in the middle of the ring while Sheamus gets booed to hell.

Hot damn, the man is in amazing shape.
Dat Korporate workout. Doubt he'll ever be as fucking huge as in 2000-2001, but it was great seeing him not look like a shirtless Humpty Dumpty.

Rubbernecking the WWE product feels excelating.
This is the new way to watch TV

Sheamus is ready.
Sheamus must be looking for the numbers.

Is Kane on the DDP Yoga?

If WWE is really editing the PPV replays that just goes to show that this is no storyline. :/

He's only on the roster to appeal to the burgeoning Irish viewer demographic.
If it weren't for the large amount of Irish watching WWE, he wouldn't have a job. Completely talentless.
DDP said in an interview a while ago that Jericho had gotten Kane to start DDP Yoga, so he may be.

HHH's workout partner.
Yes, really. At the time he first got his WWE title push, at least. Don't know if he still is.
There still might be, that was probably a kneejerk by the production team to get it into other markets before any decisions about Raw had been made.
I'm not deluding myself though. I'm going to read the Raw results before I decide to stream Raw or not. YOU HEAR THAT VINCE?! I NEED TO KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING BEFORE I STREAM A SHOW YOU WON'T SEE A DIME OF ANYWAY #PeoplePower
He's a big deal because he's one of the best workers in the company, he can pull a good match out of anyone except Orton (he's not a miracle worker)

Even if it's all lies, they're entertaining lies, and in the end, isn't that the real truth?

Thoiugjt he is still injured. Coming for his knee back
He's coming to take his moves back. He's comin' for you, Punk!
Does that mean we can edit Avatar Rumble so Peck didn't win?
If it's airing for the first time in India now then it's not a PPV replay, and is presumably airing on a premium TV channel like a lot of PPVs still do in the UK. The PPV replay I bought myself today off their web site was not edited.
