Few lines sum up the general opinion on WWE's thought processes more aptly than this one.

Given that raw seems to consist mainly of smack down rematches these days I don't know that they think people who watch raw watch smack down. They certainly don't think people who watch raw watch NXT.

 

[Sblargh]

So I was watching the "memorable debuts" Countdown and it was pretty awful. I'm not sure if they should continue with the "fan voting" with future Countdowns, but on the flipside if WWE simply just picked these we'd probably get tons of revisionist Vince McMahon history.

Vince history > Jericho or Kane debut being less memorable than Cena's.

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

So Bryan saying his injury was worse than expected: truth or work?

 

[Jimmy King]

WWE recaps things for recapping sake. I think one day they recapped stuff on a day with an awesome match between people Vince said were bomb; so the oficial explanation became that recaps increase ratings; so now they recap everything, and they recap what they recapped, and a good 20% of Raw is some form of recapping or the other.

Reading this makes me glad their new TV deal fell so short of expectations.

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

This match still isn't over?

Goddammit.

 

[Keyser Soze]

I know who's the confetti for...

...and he reveals he scripted the last 30 minutes.

I accept this!

Work obviously.

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

Truth obviously.

 

[Macho Madness]

The title would be off of him already if it was truth.

 

[Jimmy King]

So Bryan saying his injury was worse than expected: truth or work?

Work obviously.

Truth obviously.

Worked shoot obviously.

Work.

 

[slightconfuse]

JR is doing good boxing commentary

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Did he say slobberknocker yet?

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

Work obviously.

Truth obviously.

Injury angle? Really?

 

[ggnoobIGN]

Military guy needs to sit down. He's been standing the whole time. I'd be pissed if my seats were behind him.

 

[melonrabbit]

lol

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

What did he say? I broke the camera?

 

[Keyser Soze]

DROP CONFETTI FOR 21 - 1

 

[Jimmy King]

CM Punk mark near the bell is really antsy too.

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

Poor Del Rio.

 

[Vylash]

KILL HIM, CESARO

 

[Ultratech]

Dat revenge.

I love it!

 

[plagiarize]

Truth obviously.

The nickname is 'plagiarize', which means to copy what I say, not 'say the opposite of me'.

Also Heyman is doing amazing work. As always.

 

[Ithil]

"This is the part where the script says Sheamus wins".

 

[Dick Justice]

Justified beat down, lol.

 

[DyslexicAlucard]

I know who's the confetti for...

To be fair, if there's one man who can get legit heel heat with smarks in 2014, it's Russo.

 

[serenewarfare]

Given that raw seems to consist mainly of smack down rematches these days I don't know that they think people who watch raw watch smack down. They certainly don't think people who watch raw watch NXT.

They think, or try to act like, each show is viewed by a unique set of viewers with very little crossover. People who watch Raw only watch Raw. Same with Smackdown, NXT, and any other show they produce. Basically, they handle things in the worst way possible.

 

[slightconfuse]

CAPITALIZE

Yes best his ass

 

[Toki767]

Is it just me or does Sheamus look like he lost muscle mass?

 

[Heel]

Knees to the head of a grounded opponent? What kind of blood sport is this?

 

[Vylash]

guys...sheamus is hurt...

 

[serenewarfare]

Knees to the head of a grounded opponent? What kind of blood sport is this?

Pride

 

[Jimmy King]

Can't wait for Reigns to deliver his one line of doom.

"We can sit hear yapping away and signing contracts like a bunch of creampuffs, or we could fight..." *pushes desk over*

I bet you just came in your pants when you saw Brian Stann.

 

[Sephzilla]

Vince history > Jericho or Kane debut being less memorable than Cena's.

I was actually ok with Cena's debut being on the list, but... higher than Kane's debut or higher than Jericho's? And why in the absolute fuck is Rock's debut even on there.

 

[Vylash]

we can serve it oh so slow, believe that, and believe in the shield

 

[Keyser Soze]

The contract signing will go exactly as planned, and no one will get hurt, and there will be no violence. That's parade worthy - not just confetti worthy.

However, confetti will do!

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Is it bad that I hope this PPV bombs

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

The Bean show starts.....right now.

 

[The Silver]

I was actually ok with Cena's debut being on the list, but... higher than Kane's debut or higher than Jericho's? And why in the absolute fuck is Rock's debut even on there.

The Rock seems like a debut that's only memorable in hindsight.

I didn't see it though so I don't know how it was really received at the time.

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

Batista getting that Drax plug.

 

[Heel]

we can serve it oh so slow, believe that, and believe in the shield

Yeah, you guys are good yeah we get it, you're good. Yeah, you're real good.


...


Used to be good.

 

[Macho Madness]

crowd doesn't give a fuck about nothin tonight

 

[DyslexicAlucard]

I seriously can't believe they're doing a contract signing segment in 2014. How fucking creatively bankrupt is WWE?

 

[plagiarize]

Seriously who the fuck is this Chrisley guy? IE11 won't hardly even let me write his name without auto correcting it to Chrysler.

 

[Sephzilla]

The Rock seems like a debut that's only memorable in hindsight.

I didn't see it though so I don't know how it was really received at the time.

In my memory the arrival of Rocky Maivia was received pretty much the same as the character in general. The "arrival" of The Rock as a Nation of Domination member was more memorable.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Is it bad that I hope this PPV bombs

Most people payed them for it pre-WMXXX. It therefor cannot bomb #'confetti

 

[Sblargh]

I want to like Sheamus, but man, he grows more boring every day, I thought the title could do something for him, but nope, he fades more and more in the background. I don't think even a heel turn can save him if he keeps the character. Actually I have no idea what he could do.

 

[tycoonheart]

Damn Roman, don't just ruin those nice chairs.

 

[slightconfuse]

Good job roman
