HHHMMMMMMMMMMMMM.......nobody posted anything regarding RAW this week????
i am curious to see where this Hell in the Cell match goes, ryback hasn't fought anyone with substance and has spoken only 3 words "feed me more" well 4 words when vince was talking to him "feed me punk".
will they actually put the belt on a guy who has DONE NOTHING in the way of a main event match? will they have a no name newbie beat CM Punk? does it even make sense? is he going to put on Goldberg type main even matches that are 4 minutes long at best?
will CM Punk actually drop the strap to a new guy? what benefit does this have for Punk to lose? i particularly thought it was going to be a triple threat match and it may very well STILL become a triple threat match.
Ryback (newbie) beating (established,top heel) Punk doesn't make sense.
BTW did anyone see the Miz get kicked squarely in the face by Kofi ??? OUCH!! FUCKING OUCH!!!! i think the botched move previous to that caused the kick in the face. also how did Sheamus not suffer a broken skull last week when Big Show flipped him over the ropes and he slammed his head on floor? :eek:
EVE = so fucking hott :rubbel:
WWE intentionally "spoils" Intercontinental Title change
Several years ago, during a conference call with investors, Linda McMahon (pre-political aspirations) was asked about the failure of the taped WWE Smackdown program to maintain the high ratings standard that Monday Night Raw was achieving on cable. During her response, Linda mentioned the hit Smackdown took from being a taped program, and how “spoilers” (results) being posted on the Internet had a negative impact on the viewership of the program.
WWE at the time, made great strides to present their television shows as being “live” even when they were not, with announcers on Smackdown calling the action as if it was taking place on Friday (or previously, Thursday) and not on the Tuesday when it was taped. While there were occasional exceptions to this, WWE’s website followed this path, not revealing the happenings on taped programs until they had aired. Once in a while, a major event would be “broken” on the website first, however these events were rare.
How times have changed.
WWE broke the news on their own Twitter feed last night that Kofi Kingston defeated The Miz for the Intercontinental Championship at last night’s television taping… 24 hours in advance of the match being aired on WWE Main Event. “Old school” wrestling logic would state that it could hurt viewership of the new program, airing on ION, to have the result publicized. However, this is the new WWE, one that has more than embraced social media, they’ve practically thrown themselves into it. WWE looks to set a Guinness Record for tweets during their shows, and they seem obsessed with appearing on various trending lists.
Their pushing of the Kingston win is obviously a strategic move designed to get his fans to tune in for the title win, but it could also be seen as the first step towards a new way of promoting the taped shows. It is not inconceivable that WWE could start pushing their superstars to tweet about events taking place on upcoming broadcasts regularly, the way Kingston is with tonight’s show. If it proves to bring in more viewers, it could become the standard for WWE, changing the way they push their product when it is taped.

I was on Twitter last night (don't ask why), and Joey Styles, then WWE themselves, then Kofi Kingston himself all spoiled the result of the IC title match that will air tonight on Main Event on ION.
Another horribly poor business decision by a company that cares way too much about social media and not enough about wrestling and drawing in viewers.
This article is from today.
They really are obsessed with social media. I believe it will be their downfall. They're shooting themselves in the foot. I'm sure as **** not tuning in. I probably would have if I hadn't known the results. Especially since WWE themselves fucked it up for me. Screw them.
just from the whole thing that happened with larry king last week and the whole thing on MIZtv this week it was sorta obvious he was going to win the strap. my question: since the MIZ won the IC strap has anything even gone on with him vs anyone other than kofi? was there any push for MIZ with the IC strap? so he was just a belt holder from the previous belt holder (who was ?????? i really cannot remember!) for a Kofi win?
some of the logic or illogic (spelling?) on what happens on these shows is just jackassery!
No more WWE for Kelly Kelly?
