"Smackdown Vignets"

You know on Smackdown this week and they showed the whole fans of japan thing thanking the WWE for coming to Japan (because Vince has alienated his American market so much they no longer sell out any arenas so they have to go elsewhere) was i dreaming it or was there really a Japanese person there with an Irish accent? It's been annoying me so much, i swear i heard it and it's so weird.

Was i dreaming it or not? Did anyone else hear it?

I think You're right...7 months

You seem quite knowledgable about the WWE considering you don;t watch it unless its in Japan or there is a good match going to happen

Did you like the submission match?

Starts again in September i believe, too lazy to work out how many months that is

I see.

Does the football have a 7 month break then?

I meant now the American Football season has finished RAW has lost one of it's biggest competitors for ratings so in theory their ratings should start to improve now.

Do you think they will stop showing live RAW when the football comes back on then?

they'll try and tell you that as the ratings for RAW will probably start to rise now, however they conveniently leave out the reason for that being there's no more Monday Night Football (the american version) for about 7 months now.

no that just indicates Sky are idiots, there is zero point in the WWE Experience, it's just basically Velocity and Heat without the matches. It's there just to fill an hour in the sky sports 3 listing

Don't watch RAW at all if i can help it, only watched it this week because of the Jericho vs Benoit match and the fact it was in Japan

I heard that the WWE were thinking about holding RAW and SMACKDOWN in the same arena on the same day one after each other to cut costs as they were starting to lose money

I thought wrestling was getting more popular though

For example they have started showing Raw live, which indicates that it is more popular as people will want to stay up and watch it. They have also introduced the WWE Experience and there is more wrestling coming over to other countries. More and more countries are getting access to the WWE now because you hear every month or so J.R will say "we are being joined live by The Czech Republic for the very first time" or "we are being joined live by The United Kingdom for the very first time"

Quick vote...How many people watch the live RAW?

They weren't tarping off parts of arenas for safety reasons

Is the WWE realy having trouble selling tickets in America?

I know my mate went there and he got tickets straight away, so they cant be selling realy well, although Smackdown is reportedly the most popular show on American TV on thursday nights, so it must be really popular in America still.

ah Bizarro World, how i miss ye

all WWE events should be held there or Japan
