haVoc 0 Report post Posted August 18, 2003 McMahons not the house show draws they expected to be… Vince McMahon was not at either Smackdown-brand house show this weekend, despite appearing prominently in the advertising for the shows. The road agents told the wrestlers that McMahon's absence was due to transportationweather problems getting to the towns, but that was not totally believed. Many felt that McMahon just decided not to come to the shows because his presence wasn't increasing attendance. WWE is continuing to promote Vince and Stephanie McMahon as appearing at house shows, because they believe they are top draws that will bring more people to house shows. Despite the fact that attendance has not been affected by the McMahons, they are still expected to be at many house shows in the coming weeks.

Guest webmasterofwrestlegame Report post Posted August 18, 2003 This is a real quote from Vince: "We don't read the internet. We prefer to listen to our audience." They don't do either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Youth N Asia 0 Report post Posted August 19, 2003 RAW is soooo bad right now. I watch mainly out of routine. As the ratings and attendence numbers go down we are becoming the main audiance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
teke184 0 Report post Posted August 19, 2003 At this point, I just have RAW on in the background while I BS online or play Red Alert 2. As for SD, I read the spoilers and pick out what I want to see. For example, I turned off the show a few minutes after the tag title match last week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted August 19, 2003 I swear man... Instead of going out every week and just showing us that guys like RVD and Hurricane aren't good enough to push... They should show the booking meetings where they explain why. GOLD!!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ghettoman Report post Posted August 19, 2003 I refuse to believe it! If anything Steph needs to be pushed more as SD's top face, Angle isn't cutting it. Let's have RVD go down fast at SS so Shane can have the rest of the time, one big bump later and your whole theory is out the window!!! And watch what happens when Linda does a run in and cleans house next week, BIGGEST QUARTER EVER!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted August 19, 2003 All joking aside...this is a total cock thing to do on Vince's part. Promote yourself and then no show because no one wants to see you. Unless the self promotion ends (yeah...right) this was a total cock move. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
