No. Most likely. I don't believe they are going to change from their Batista/HHH main event, which seems to be the biggest selling point.

Anyone know where I can find this up for download? As well as the Simpsons episode that aired last night? Saw the SB but didn't get a chance to see either

BigDaddy.com What I don't get is how the NFL and Fox decided not to air that Bud Light commercial that's on their website (the one alluding to the Breast-That-Launched-1000-Censors but didn't have any nudity or even a hint of "indecency") but did choose to air this one Godaddy.com

But the main point remains: people are going to plunk down $50 (for WM, $40 for non-WM's) for a PPV (and, if you're talking non-fans, a PPV for something you don't even watch) based on seeing a funny commercial? Seeing a serious wrestling commercial or seeing a funny wrestling commercial isn't going to matter to people who already view the product as a joke. You can't compare it to other companies using funny ads, because they're just going for name recognition. Most people already know about the WWE, so if they're not already watching, the commercials aren't going to matter. These commercials are really only playing to the existing fanbase, not to non-fans. If you want to make that argument (giving your loyal fans a laugh), that'd be fine. But these commercials aren't going to draw in an appreciable number of new fans. Well if you're point is that non-fans aren't going to see it any differently no matter what...WHY NOT give the 'loyal' fans something entertaining. And I don't belive you can use the...It's not entertaining arguement, because well, just look in this thread, people laughed.

Because for the last few like..years, the camera men always for whatever reason decide to zoom, or at least focus on the person blading. I mean, I guess in this case that really couldn't be avoided, because they both took place during some form of action (well, the HHH one, the cam was focused on Benoit/Orton) but there have been many times, a guys just laying on teh mat, or floor..and the cameraman decides to zoom in on the persons face, I mean WTF?

...Isn't the Enquirer a tabloid..? But nonetheless, if true, that was pussy. Who runs out crying after one comment? I would have just laid the verbal smackdown back on those bitches.

*interests me the most. Especially if London gets to do any of his 'special bumps'. I still don't understand the tag match though...I mean...WTH?

Exactly. And, at the same time killing the credibility of their B shows, as well as the guys who wrestle on the B shows. That'll be good for business.

Then why are people hating on Ashlee Simpson (and others) so much? Or am I misreading that, and you are saying that you DO want excellence? But if I am interpreting it correctly, you're not asking for excellence in entertainment. Well, Ashlee Simpson has proven she's not excellent. But it seems, those who are not fans, are saying that in order for her to be recognized as well...'actual talent' she needs to be. Which I don't believe is the case. She's not at the top of the scale. But you all, actually believe that she's at the bottom? Because I for one could think of a lot worse. Ok, yea, I'll admit, bad analogy. But fact remains, everything needs a mascot. You say the pop stars are just faces thrown out there for public approval? Well..pretty much, yea, they are. I for one know a lot of people who write amazing songs (well amazing as a backyard band can be >_>) but I for one wouldn't want to see them on an album, or on television. And they can't sing for shit also. So what they do? They get the lead singer of the band, to sing the song they wrote. In this case, 'the pop star'. Always has been that way, probaly always will. Not every singer/band/artist has a writer or anything, but the greater percantage of people in the music business, at one time or another, have someone else write a song and they sing it. Hell...as mentioned in the thread, sometimes they sing songs that have already been sung by another. Meh...from what I've experienced, it's usually the 19-20 year old stoner crowd who claims they are 'punk'. And from what I saw actually seeing this show the other day...seems her fans are mostly like, highschool/middle little...(What's a word?)...Prima Donna? bitches. Far from punk.

Yea, I know , doesn't make what I said wrong though. It's not like 'using studio trickery' is anything new. There are people who have done that at one time or another, but are still considered 'great singers'. And my response to that is...so? Would you rather this 400 pound, pretty ugly dude, who can write poetry well (aka write great songs) be the one on the album cover, and at public appearences, etc. (Well, you might say yes, but yea..) we all know it's mainly about image. You must be marketable. And not necassarily all writers are that..so why not put someone else in front. This may be a bad example...but sort of like Geico. There's 100's/1000's I dunno, people working for/with that company. And yet really, all anyone ever remembers is the Gecko. Just like, there may be 20-50 guys helping 50 cent write his songs...but all anyone ever remembers, is, well 50. Just like.. I'm guessing that era you mention has been what...over the last 100+ years? It's not like the 90's, 80's, and 70's etc. were 'just' about music. (Although, I'll admit there were cases of people who it were) So summed up, IMO, nothing's changed. So I don't see where there'd be complaining now.

You're right. You're a singer.

Don't believe I said it was positive. But fact is, her being perceived as a 'public joke' is keeping her in...well, the public. Maybe this is just me...but I don't believe you can. Maybe you can say she sucked. But to say sucks..from that...ummm sure. In the one instance of SNL, she was caught lip syncing, which has pretty much been explained. And even if you don't believe the explanation, one, the backup track she was singing to was her voice...so it doesn't matter really, and two, MANY singers do. So really not much difference, except for the fact she happened to look stupid while doing hers. And even some of her fans, as I believe I saw Matt say in the thread about the OB in music...she sucked. Hell..I like her music, and I'll say she deserved to be booed in that performance. But then again, I've also heard her sing other times..where she was great. So that just leads me to the conclusion she's a good singer, but she's not always that great, or that she has bad days. But then again, what singers don't? In the same light as, what actors don't sometimes appear bad in their movie roles?

Evidently not. I don't see you replying to a thread disscusing Jessica Simpson. I don't see a site, with 200,000+ signatures from people who 'hate' her as well as the millions who bought her CD. Who knows, Jessica Simpson may have more fans (although I doubt it) but there's no way in hell Jessica has more attention. I mean, there are so many people who talk about how much they hate her singing, and she's a talentless hack, etc...then why would you be listening? And if you use the excuse you've only heard her once or something...then you really have nothing to back up your arguement. Oh, as well as the arguement 'You can't get away from it' or something to that effect...it's really not that hard to change the channel. Those 200,000+ people are doing nothing but giving her more publicity, if they could figure out how to just ignore her (since the seemingly hate her so much) who knows, maybe her fire would have died down by now. But theyre just keeping her in the spotlight longer.

Yea..I know, sucks in a way, but in another way...good. I also sort of hate Chloe knowing, 'but not knowing'. I think it might be more interesting if she actually told him she knew. She should have just told him at the grave. (btw, damn they buried her ass fast ) It'll be pretty interesting to see how she keeps in hidden though, considering already she's freaking, especially when in the presense of lois.

I think RAW proved that wrong.

Yea...poor dude. Like seriously. But, that was a lot of fucking waterweight he had on him, he lost 12 just from an hour of that? But hell, I know from experience, the opposite (making weight by gaining) is just as fucking bad.

Lol at Chuck holding the door like, WTF dude? Good GOD...that's a lot of fucking sweat.

Wasn't the ref. All four guys in the ring fucked that up, which was evident by all the missed clotheslines (or, the one's that hit, and the guy was like 'Am I supposed to fall?')

'Breach Birth' by Chevelle

...wow. ....

Eh- Tawren seems to hate everything. Riiight. Now, I kind of have this mindset: good > crap. I know, shocking. I'm such a smark faggot. So what are you saying? They should be mentioning this stuff. It isn't hard. "Angle wrestled a huge match tonight! And he is now in the ring! Can he do it?" That takes 15 seconds to say. Substitute Edge for the same thing. It isn't hard and it is something that should be expected. And it only takes 15 seconds, or less, for them to say that Benoit won last years Royal Rumble. Which they said. Meta-posting. Don't know what it is,but it sounds fun. >_>

Exactly. Coach stayed in longer then (well a lot of people), then like Hurricane..and Dupree, Dean/nova, and even Kurt Angle. Should he have got more mention, just because he stayed in longer? They DID mention Benoit, is the thing. Benoit won the Rumble last year..but that was last year. Angle should have got more recognition for JUST (well 20 minutes) wrestling a grueling WWE title match. or Edge, for wrestling earlier in the night. etc.

Sweet Jesus on a stick. Who is the brain dead fool? What a terrible show. A bunch of go-nowhere brawls and sloppy shit on the undercard. Terrible Rumble as well, with Misterio as the only good point. Benoit was in there from the start to the last man entering, and he was barely even acknowledged on commentary and was then just tossed out. Stupid finish, bad show. ...I hope that's just you purposely trying to be an ass? Or is that an honest opinion..?

Yea, a few people mentioned it when it happened.

Oh, so Rey and Edge had a little story going on? Sweet. Which was sort of cool when you factor in that they're former tag champs...
