Look at the company's pushed main star of Raw as spouted in said article: AJ Lee. No wonder they get their lowest ratings in 15 years. Them 18-30 year olds realizing Raw has become a tween Nickolodeon show starring the appropriate mediocre female performer for said role. Maybe they can bring in the cast of iCarly or some other bullshit to play Team Steph's ultimate vision of WWE. Idiots.

your signature makes me want to jump off a bridge. comparing luna vachon to the rock in terms of 'moving on to other things'? the rock was pushed to the moon and enjoyed a long run on top, and then he left for hollywood without properly giving back to the company. brock lesnar is a a disrespectful asshole who left on bad terms and he also was pushed to the moon and never properly gave back to the company. working on top for years with other big names is not 'giving back', the rock and brock lesnar are ungrateful people who have disrespected the wwe, their roster, and the business as a whole for not doing the right thing and giving back. and look at the two of them, popping back in every now and again to pick up a massive check and push hardworking and deserving new stars down the card. i know this is off-topic but i could barely contain myself after reading your signature. what a load of bullshit.

He'll probably walk in the ring, start to talk about Punk/Cena then Santino will come down with a TV, X-Box and an inflatable armchair and then they'll play WWE '13 for about 10 minutes then the crowd will remain apathetic but Vince won't care saying 'WHAT A MANOEUVRE! THIS IS GREAT WRUSSLING!' then Vince will get off the couch and find that he's been sitting on Hornswoggle then they all have a laugh and a joke and Vince beams at the camera waiting for those dollar signs to rush in anDOH FUCK THIS SHIT

Am I the only one who still doesn't fully understand what his kayfabe position is with the WWE?

He removed by HHH who was removed by Johnny Ace who was fired to be replaced by AJ.

With that said, why would Vince have a message from the Board of Directors? Wouldn't AJ now get those messages just as Johnny Ace did while he was in charge, just as HHH did while he was in charge?

I hope he comes out, grabs a mic, then suddenly drops to the canvas shouting "Paul, I still can't feel my legs."

To shake things up, Vince will announce he's rehired Vince Russo.

In his first act he's booked a flaming table, tag titles on a pole match between Team Hell No and Team Rhodes Scholar. And the main event will be a lumberjack cage match between CM Punk and Ryback.

Meanwhile, the main event ends with all the lumberjacks trying to climb the cage before knocking each other off, the rest of the locker room who were not lumberjacks to begin with all come down with kindo sticks and baseball bats in hand and brawl with the lumberjacks, finally 1 armed Cena comes waddling down the ramp and throws a taser to Ryback, but Punk intercepts it and tases Ryback ending his winning streak.

I'M BACK BABY :russo

RATINGS BOOSTER

For those saying "It's probably going to be stupid", do not watch it. Screw the "I'm just watching it for hope" stuff for just ONE WEEK.

By not watching Raw this week, you can help make a difference that may not come up again for another month. This is the most important Raw to not watch this year.

I think people fail to realize that WWE is in panic mode from last week so their solution is "Bring back John Cena" and to have McMahon (an authority figure) do something. The on air weekly authority figure is played out and it's been around since 1996. These are not solutions, but if they recover in the ratings, the company continue think it is.

I don't watch Raw anymore so I don't have this problem. But if you are bitching and complaining about how terrible the product is (and it is!), do not watch this Monday. If you do, then in my opinion, you have no right to complain about the product since you failed to do something when given the chance. Watch The Voice, play a video game, watch Netflix (hell watch wrestling on netflix), read a book, watch baseball, bite your nails. Any of those will do.

If the rating stays the same or better yet, goes lower, it shows WWE their old "fix its" no longer work. If it goes back to normal, then the message is sent that the audience thinks everything they are doing is right.

Make a difference.

Agree with everything you have said, I don't watch the shows either and that is for two reasons.
1.I live in the UK and start College at 9am, I am not going to waste my sleep watching something that is awful.
2.I know watching the shows live are a waste of time, instead I only watch the best bits on YouTube.

I find people watching the shows only to hate on it, and say that Raw is awful every week stupid if you hate why watch it simple.
Not watching this show is important I agree with you on that.As by not watching this week's Raw, WWE might finally do something and change the direction that company is going. The reason is if people don't watch this show on Monday Night, the have to do something to change the product for the better and make the shows more entertaining.

Wish it would have something to do with Lesnar. This really sucks. Not that the whole Lesnar return has been mind blowing anyway, but it would add a little more spice to the show. Really makes me wonder whats next with him since HHH cut his hair. I seriously see that haircut as a " im done wrestling " type move for a good while now... So in other words I seriously doubt we see a Lesnar/HHH II unless its Mania.

McMahon in his usual panic mode after a disaster rating. When there are no guys available to bring interest, he always put himself in that position. I doubt this is going to be as effective as the last time he returned. I love watching Vince the performer either way but this is done as a desperate tactic. One thing, it shows that Vince is realistic and knows how worthless his roster is when all the legit stars aren't there. Hopefully he does a promo like he did in June 2002, "time to shake things up again", while announcing that RAW is going back to 2 hours.

It's pretty obvious that RAW is going to be up from the 2.5 last week, so Cena comes back and they can pretend that he made a difference. They should have done the Vince announcement on TV. Probably a 2.8. Time to bring back the "RASSLIN' GOD!" :flair3 and give him a 20 minutes talk show at 9pm every week. Put Nash there and Leno and Kimmel are getting fired after 2 months.

I haven't watched RAW live in about 3 weeks. This intrigues me I'll probably tune in now.

Well keep in mind he has to come back because he's been booking garbage week after week and didnt take a chance in creating stars. Theres nothing entertaining watching the guy who is behind that.
