WWE: Monday Night Raw 197: The Vince Experience

[Alex Jones]

To be honest it lasted like 24 hours

I mean, did anyone really think it wasn't bullshit?

I mean, did anyone really think it wasn't bull****?

I considered that MAYBE wwe realised they needed to actually freshen up and listen to the fans. especially ahead of AEWs launch. I wanted the promo to be legit. but I was naive.

I mean, I guess they could be setting up more stuff with the New Day, but I still don't like it.

Maybe, but why not just wait for Smackdown for that then? Or just have the Bar and Drew blow it up at the end, New Day runs down for a big going off the air fight? I mean I feel like that would have been better...marginally.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

The Bar would have been very low down my list of people to blow up that match

if you told me someone was blowing it up to make it a tag match tho, I might have thought of them but still

just weird. WWE just cant book anything any more. they got results at Mania mostly right and then follow it up with nonsense

The shield attacking Kofi works

New Day attacking Seth works

Having a group OF NXT guys attack both works

Bray Wyatt, Daniel Bryan, etc

There were better ways to pull the rug out if you didn't intend on unifying the titles

 

[Dr Pepper]

Coulda been worse.

They coulda had the Bar WIN the match and get both titles, one for each of them.

$5 says one of the idiot writers floated it as an option.

Big E and Xavier gave Torrie a standing ovation for her puberty comment. I'm f***ing crying.

@WWE's Audit | Twitter Audit | Audit your Twitter followers.
Fake Followers Audit from SparkToro | SparkToro

Scoring a whole lot better than other sports companies

Twitter did a fake follower purge in July of last year and that audit was updated 13 months ago. WWE either gained 200k followers in 13 months, or they lost quite a bit in the purge.

Instagram is the most marketable one of social media channels. That’s where people buy their fake followers. On IG, WWE has 59.8% real ones, for example. IG Audit

The point is that these brands and celebs buy fake followers, especially singular, online celebs and influencers who’ll pay $1,000 for x amount of followers so they can get that product sponsorship that pays them $5,000 - $50,000 per ad because that brand thinks they have a huge following.

Show em, UCE!

I mean, WWE haven't listened to the fans for like 15 years now. If they didn't get the message when fans were literally hijacking segments to boo the companys top guys they were never going to get it.

God, Brad Shepard is one of the worst wrestling "reporters" out there.

Go read my show.

I'm reading the HFWF Championship match rn.

I've heard Prichard on his podcast defend bait and switch tactics like this with some BS logic

I'm certain they have plenty of fakes, I just don't think there's anything unusual about them compared to any other big brand. They're just bigger for a variety of reasons. They push their social media a ton, which people respond to. The product they put on social media is far more accessible and content rich than other sports. Tons of people follow WWE super casually, and hitting follow/subscribe/like is incredibly easy. I have tons of friends who follow WWE accounts on social media who'd be incredibly confused if I asked them if they saw RAW or Smackdown.

Brother Love is a really underrated gimmick, but he is a terrible booker. Remember he was head of TNA creative what that promotion was BAD.

Bruce: "We were looking for something different there, just change it up...."

Conrad: "Oh god, SIIIIGGGHHHHHHH"

 

[ON3M4N]

Idk what the hell WWE is going to do with Bray, but odds are I'll be disappointed.

The final fisting, just for @M.C.G. 31

I’m not sad

I’m sad

 

[Emperoreddy]

Bait and switch only works if you give the crowd something else they like.

The Bar surely isn’t that. Undisputed Era could have been that, but honestly it’s better they weren’t there if you want to see them be pushed.

 

[GKJ]

It would've worked if they put the heat on guys who were worth putting the heat on. I was anticipating the match getting blown up, but not by a Smackdown tag team.

(the brand split is dying)

 

[M.C.G. 31]

thank you to whoever edited the botched title again

I went to the show and still have to do all the damn work!

Roman looked so sad

Pardon me for asking but who the hell is this guy and does he even write for a site I would've ever heard of?

 

[M.C.G. 31]

@GKJ change the title again pls smh
