More RAW Notes: Mistakes, Exaggerations & More
? Call me crazy but in that close-up shot of Chris Jericho in the opening RAW segment, did he not look JUST LIKE Chris Benoit? Go rewind a tape or TIVO and check that close-up facial shot. Wow did they look like alike there.
? Does anyone notice that in the 'Did You Know' they keep saying RAW defeats Monday Night Football in ratings each week? Well since it's pre-season I guess they can advertise while they can because when the regular season starts they have no shot at beating the NFL each Monday. It's such a sad stat to advertise that your show is beating PRE-SEASON football. It means nothing!
? As noted on RAW last night, WWE RAW will air next Monday night from 9-11EST on the SCI-FI network. Lets hope it beats PRE-SEASON football still in the ratings!
? Did Jerry Lawler really say that John Cena vs. Batista at SummerSlam was one of the best matches he had ever seen? Phew, you've not seen very many good matches then Jerry! Oh wait, that was Vince McMahon in his headset telling him to say those lines. I nearly forgot!
? Did Michael Cole really say it was John Cena vs. Cody Rhodes and then say it's a two on one match, featuring Ted DiBiase? Do people within WWE even know what's going on these days? Does anyone tell them ahead of time?
? And did Mike Adamle really need to read word for word off a clipboard? And then flip to page two to get the name of the match he had just made? How hard is it to say "This match will be called a Championship Scramble"?. There are HOURS and HOURS before RAW goes live where everyone is backstage sitting around bullsh*ting with each other waiting for the show to go live. He can't study and remember those lines during that time? He's been known to go on long walks around the arena and nobody really knows where he goes. How about studying some?!? Unreal.
? And last but note least – did CM Punk really lose clean to Chris Jericho? Hello? CM Punk is your World Champion. There is so much stuff wrong with WWE it's unreal. That shows you how they feel about Punk as champion. I don't expect his title reign to last past Unforgiven, that's for sure.
