Vince Russo Rants on This Week's RAW

[jadillac]

Get outta here w/ this BS.

The bull-tail angle was comedic relief...it coulda been aimed at kids, or any segment of adults who laughed at it.

Cena saying "b*tch" is just to ignite a very stale and under-whelming feud w/ him and Bray. It's the PG era, but you can't alienate your adult audience by being too kid friendly every segment.

You have embrace being inclusive of all fans. If not, why not just have all the divas wrestle long sleeve shirts and pants?

Russo of all ppl vacillated back-n-forth so many times it's unreal. And why bring up ratings?? Ratings havent been off the charts in over a decade or more. We know most of those Attitude fans were casuals and they are gone now.

its a 3hour show for bout raw and smackdown and you have WWE network. So why not just have kid friendly version of raw and smackdown for the first hour and let it come back to the adults for the last two. Also let the network broadcast pg era segments etc.

Don't understand why they stopped doing that. When the AE first started the first hour of RAW didn't show as much mature content. And it's not like they have to go back exactly to Attitude cause a lot of the shyt they did from 05-07 was still cool without being kiddie shyt.

As someone who (unknowingly) re watched wrestling at the very beginning of the PG era I 've seen slow and subtle differences with language.

Just like pre attittude era it was a slow build. It will never become that again because it doesn't NEED to, but the blatant "im gonna kick your butt" promos of 08/09 were just outrageously insulting. They're finding a middleground and thats ok. Most tv pg network programming shows say "ass, bytch and damn" in it but it's all context.

 

[jackswstd]

It's, oh what is that three word phrase some of y'all like throwing around so much? It includes some dudes shyt eating grin.

 

[Reality Check]

Surprised Russo didn't offer up a Reverse Battle Royal, Sister Abigail on a Pole Match as the solution to all this.

Russo may be a hypocrite, but this ain't the first time people have said Cena is schizophrenic with his gimmick. I won't forget how he went from dumping a truckload of dog shyt on AJ and Ziggler to somberly contemplating his career when he went up against Rock in the span of a couple of shows

That kind of shyt DOES have an effect on viewers

fukk the 8 year olds. Hit PG-13, and nothing else. More chairshots to the back and blood. Send the kids home crying from the demonic violence.

 

[I-Hate-You]

It's Cena's way. There's a reason dude has been the top guy for so many years, yet people struggle to name him in all-time great rivalries and feuds.

 

[Nintendough]

"Our show is catered to 10 year olds- John Cena during one of his anti Rock rants in 2012 disguised as a promo. No, John. Your audience is 18-30 males mostly. Alienate them nyggas? It's game over.

The ‘REAL’ Reason Behind The RAW Ratings

People at home don't care about wrestling as much as they used to.

Its WWE's fault for not giving people a reason to care about their product. The majority of their storylines are half-assed which to me is inexcusable because they have a lot of TV time for everybody on the roster. Plus they have their app and now the Network. The talent is there its the shytty booking that's holding the company back.

maybe, but for me I just watch for fukkkery at this point. I know too much of the realness to get as involved within it as I used too.
