[Guest Trivia247]

gee I want them to send me one of those in the mail, how did you get it?

[Guest webmasterofwrestlegame]

I am on their mailing list they use to send out updates and stuff.

 

Its a monster questionnaire, and some fo the questions are so poorly constructed I nearly gave up completing it.

[Guest DawnBTVS]

Where would we return this? I'm actually thinking of filling it out...

[Guest Aero]

Yes, I just filled mine out five minutes ago. I live in Jersey, BTW. Interesting survery, and I was 100% honest for mine, not that it'll make a difference, but might as well. There was that string of questions with answers "RAW, Smackdown, Both, Neither"... every answer I gave was either Smackdown or Neither. Go figure...

[Guest Anglesault]

I was just about to post this

[rising up out of the back seat-nuh 0]

cool. Its good to know hey're at lest asking bout things smarks want them to do.

 

It's also funny they found more over "dare-devils" than hosses.

[Guest TheHulkster]

That's a much better survey than the previous one, I gotta say. It's a lot more thorough.

[Guest webmasterofwrestlegame]

What got to me was that on some of the questions that said 'what would make you buy more...' or 'I prefer' there were no answers that enabled me to say 'more wrestling' or 'better wrestling' - just crap about matching their programming to my soap tastes.

[Guest Army Eye]

super-muscle?

[Patty O'Green 0]

I just got this a couple of seconds ago, on an e-mail account I haven't checked in a year.

[Guest Dmann2000]

When asking if I'd like more "funny or witty" superstars I was afraid what their definitions of "funny and witty" would be?

 

*dog poop, lots of dog poop*

[Guest Slapnuts00]

I was just about to post this! In fact go here http://surveys.wwe.com/ to fill out 4 WWE surverys. The first 20 questions for all are the same but maybe we can get our voices heard...

[Guest papacita]

Urban, Hip Hop, Funky

 

...Funky?????

 

 

 

 

 

 

FUNKY????!!!

[Guest Slapnuts00]

<Dusty Rhodes>FUNKY LIKE A MONKEY!</Dusty Rhodes>

[Guest eiker_ir]

OMGZZZZZZZZZ FLASH FUNKZ IN COMIG BACKZZZZZ~!!!!11!1

[Guest HellSpawn]

I live in the UK and some of these questions are clearly for American's...

How about this...

 

20. Where do you live?

United States

Canada

Europe

Africa

Asia

Australia

South America

U.S. Military Base

Other

 

Well, I live in Mexico, so... nope, thats not EU or Canada, neither South America, Africa? Europe? Asia? No US MB? Hell No!

 

So, its "other" for me.

 

I cant believe the WWE totally forgot either North America or Central America.

[Guest kane3212321]

New "big" super-muscle Superstars (Brock Lesnar™, etc.)

 

New "funny or witty" Superstars

 

More new Superstars who are daredevils who can do amazing stunts (Rob Van Dam™, Rey Mysterio™, etc.)

 

What if I just want good wrestlers who mix up their styles like Guerrero?

[Guest Galactic Gigolo]

<Dusty Rhodes>FUNKY LIKE A MONKEY!</Dusty Rhodes>

 

I filled them out during Raw, though I absolutely refuse to fill out those first 20 questions multiple times (why not combine them all into one quiz for those who want to do all?), so I just did the first 5 and then went onto the new questions.

 

I was surprised the WWE had my option down for live events. I'm comped at everything I go to, and that was an option.

[Guest Mole]

So there is two topics about this?
