So I'm going to Unforgiven.....

Ask WWE if they felt the entire move from USA to Spike TV in '00 hurt their product. WWE likes to point to the move as the point where their ratings began to decrease, and through the years that has directly effected the quality of the product. Now, just a few years later and with seemingly nothing gained, they move back to USA with less of an audience and very little hope for regaining an audience in the near future. Should WWE fans expect a turnaround in the overall product, or just a few weeks of above-average storylines before going back to the same old stuff?

I think we'll get a few weeks of effort and then they'll lost interest in trying hard and we'll be back to crap.

[Guest Brian]

All their effort will be focused in a direction like Night of Champions, hwich I said in the UFC/RAW thread was part of the reason why they are where they are. I'm not expecting a great rating from the UFC, but WWE just continues to find the exact same path every fucking time and head right on down it. You think eventually they're going to start picking up some landmarks...

Hey, what about how even though your programming draws better ratings than the Ultimate Fighter, their advertising rates are so much higher because they don't do things like exploit terrorist attacks or natural disasters on the week they happen to make a quick buck? How humiliating is it for WWE to have earned a worse reputation than a product that was banned in New York State for being "a human cockfight"?

Vince: "Human cock fighting...hmm. We could do that. Billy Kidman, we know he's well endowed. I've saved wrestling again!"

Someone call Terry Taylor and tell him to bring his tights and some red hair dye, we have a program for him!

RTC had nothing to do with the FCC. They were mocking the Parents Television Council -- the PTC.

Ok. I'm English, not too familiar with all the TV censorships groups there are.

 

You still have to admit it is pretty weak to try parody and degrade them on TV given they are a multinational multi-million dollar corporation while the PTC is little more than a bunch of conservative soccer moms and evangelists.

Guess who was responsible for the whole Janet slip outrage that was so overblown it made some of us embarassed to be here?

 

Yep.

Well I went to the press conference. Everyone stayed in character and they only let marks ask questions.

But then I got a one on one with Carlito.....who REFUSED to come out of character.

Candice.......who well she didn't have much to say.

And then Jim Ross and me and him and a local radio guy hung out and talked OU football for a good hour.

People need to get the fuck off Carlito's jock. Dude is funny maybe 20% of the time and is in the top five worst workers in the company right now.

[Damaramu 0]

I wasn't on his jock. They only let us talk to Carlito and Candice afterwards.

The only reason I got JR is b/c the DJ I was hanging with is friends with him and I go to OU.

It wasn't a slip. They admitted that. I can see why a family sitting down to watch some football might not want or expect Janet Jackson's tit on their screen at half time. Whether it was exaggerated in the media or not, if people are watching a football game, they expect football with some light entertainment at half time, not some chick's boob otherwise they'd watch HBO or Cinemax instead.

Yes, so lets hype the shit out of it AFTERWARDS....now thats family values.

 

Going after small problems like that so drastically really worked against gangsta rap and those Louie Louie terrorists.

Man, and other countries air nudity on TV and no one bats an eye. I think it's time to move.

If her bare tit wasn't meant to be on TV then it was a slip.

And he's not nearly as over on Raw as he was on SD.

You should have asked them why the PPV card is so crappy.

Sorry if you thought I was referring to you, I wasn't. He just gets way too much love around these parts. I mean, only from the morons, but still....

 

Oh, and can a MOD change Deon's name to Captain Obvious?

Only after 9 PM.

 

I'd get into the argument America tries to focus on minor problems to distract people from the big ones ("who cares if our troops are contravening the Geneva convention? GAYS ARE GETTING MARRIED!"), but that's a whole other thread.

Wow, I really thought I was the only person who felt this way.

 

If I was banned from watching his matches for the rest of my life, I most certainly would not shed a tear.

Seeing Carlito and Chris Masters get pushes actually makes me wish Jericho would come back soon, believe it or not.
