Live Discussion: RAW 26/5/2008

[Slyfox696]

This has been a good promo. A Little on the long side but good nonetheless.

Im a wrestling fan. Not a Ratings Fan. I could give a shit less about ratings.

Umm, the ratings tell you how entertaining the segment is. If the segment loses viewers, then obviously it wasn't a very good segment.

 

[a7xoff]

All right! 18 of the first 19 minutes of Raw was dedicated to absolutely nothing.


Aren't we all glad Triple H is champion?

I'm fairly sure it would have been the same if Cena, JBL, Orton or anyone for that matter was champ...

 

[Vee Dub Represent]

wow, i want to get excited about what vince started off the show with, but i am too skeptical these days...

 

[Slyfox696]

go away

No.

 

[Rated R EdgeHead]

That promo was way to long.

 

[thecruiser]

predictions about the earth-shattering announcement

 

[klunderbunker]

I'm fairly sure it would have been the same if Cena, JBL, Orton or anyone for that matter was champ...

Definitely agree. Those face to face showdowns or Contract signings or debates are always boring as they go on forever and nothing we haven't heard a hundred times before.

 

[Papa Shango]

Just shows how much the belt really means, when the champion forgets it.

 

[Slyfox696]

I'm fairly sure it would have been the same if Cena, JBL, Orton or anyone for that matter was champ...

When was the last time that happened when anyone other than HHH was champ? Now, we're only a few weeks into HHH's reign, and...ratings are terible, so we get a 20 minute talking segment which goes no where. It would have been one thing if there had been a point. There was none. Hell, why was Grisham even in there?

That was a pretty unintellegent statement.

In some cases, yes, the ratings go down due to something not being entertaining. But its not a fact of life. I enjoy Ironman Matches but those matches always lose viewers.

 

[Monkey_Mania]

I'm fairly sure it would have been the same if Cena, JBL, Orton or anyone for that matter was champ...

Exactly. I dont see why Sly has so much Blind hatred for Trips. But if it was Cena it wouldve been the best 18 minutes of his life.

 

[ortonchamp28]

ratings do not tell how entertaining certain segments are. it shows how entertaining a certain amount of people thought it was. that doesnt mean that other people cant have a differing opinion

 

[a7xoff]

Beth<all the other divas

 

[klunderbunker]

A diva I quit match. Beth and Melina in it. Yep, Dragon's dead.

 

[Y_2_aJ]

Haha Jillian singing Vince's theme song!! LOL

And heres Melina's face turn

 

[Vee Dub Represent]

ummm, sorry guys, back to watching the cup...

Whenever it is a contract signing it never has a point. Or a stupid conference like tonight. None of it has a legit point and it all goes the same way.

 

[Eternal Dragon]

HOLY SHIT!

Melina vs Beth I Quit Match. ALL my dreams have come true.

Flames Out
Dragon

 

[Papa Shango]

Melina's gonna get fucked up in an I Quit match.

 

[Monkey_Mania]

A diva I quit match. Beth and Melina in it. Yep, Dragon's dead.

I heard the explosion from here.

 

[thecruiser]

"I've never said the words 'I Quit'"... you just did...

 

[Slyfox696]

That was a pretty unintellegent statement.

In some cases, yes, the ratings go down due to something not being entertaining. But its not a fact of life. I enjoy Ironman Matches but those matches always lose viewers.

LOL

No, it's the only statement that can possibly makes sense. No offense, but no one gives a damn what you like. What matters is what the majority of fans like, and if the majority of the fans don't like a segment (as reflected by a loss of viewers), then obviously the segment was not entertaining.

But hey, thanks for playing.

Exactly. I dont see why Sly has so much Blind hatred for Trips. But if it was Cena it wouldve been the best 18 minutes of his life.

Blind hatred? No, nothing blind about it. All I'm saying is that we got a 18 minute promo which did NOTHING. What purpose did it serve?

ratings do not tell how entertaining certain segments are. it shows how entertaining a certain amount of people thought it was. that doesnt mean that other people cant have a differing opinion

But, if it's losing viewers, then obviously it's not a good segment. This isn't rocket science here people.

Whenever it is a contract signing it never has a point. Or a stupid conference like tonight. None of it has a legit point and it all goes the same way.

Contract signings always end with someone getting beat down. There's a point to that.

 

[Papa Shango]

Jillian vs. Melina. Definitely the loudest Diva match in a long time.

 

[a7xoff]

HOLY SHIT!

Melina vs Beth I Quit Match. ALL my dreams have come true.

Flames Out
Dragon

Dragon exploded into glitter and cupcakes... mmmm cupcakes
