Are you Blue? Hes giving it to people in the ARENA....

lol, check again bro...

Anyways I liked how they had all the guys on stage.Like Vince giving away a million dollars is some big news for them,they should have focused on the draft more. Dibiase Jr. is actually pretty good though he uses Kevin Thorn's old move sometimes and he's pretty solid on the mic.

I think this is a good idea. Because Vince want to make people know that WWE are better than TNA. TNA gives free entrance to people, so WWE are giving MONEY! instead :yes:

oh, about the draft thing, i guess its time for Batista to be drafted to Raw. And Orton to SD! as he has feuded with everyone on Raw already.

I'm not watching wrestling right now. This isn't going to make me to start watching.

Gashface is right.

I believe he said a sum of 1 million dollars, so like 50,000 for 20 weeks or something like that.

I was thinking Rhodes and Dibaise too, although why would Dibaise want Rhodes as a partner? That didnt really make any sense. Could be fun to watch though. I think Dibiase should buy a monster (Umaga/Khali) and have Dibaise keep both belts.

I had a feeling that Dibaise would just lose, and his father would just bring out the million dollar championship..... just a thought.

No but apparently you are, try reading the original post.

Sums of like 50,000 isn't as bad but I still think it's just a sad day when Vince is trying to BUY ratings.. we all know wrestling sucess cannot be bought. You only have to look at WCW for an example.

Yes TNA give away free tickets, but which wrestling organisation doesn't do that?! Heck it happens for concerts and events all the time just to fill seats.

As for the TNA clapping incident, I agree that was atrocious but there's a difference between getting a few thousand fans to clap, and buying ratings imo, big difference.

WWE need to focus on making a better product, not buying people's attention. And fair does TNA has a hell of a lot to do too, but this isn't a comparison thread so why people always have to make it that way is beyond me.

WWE should not be buying fans, nuff said.

Are you Blue? Hes giving it to people in the ARENA.... That has nothing to do with the audience at home, therefore, also not having anything to do with ratings. Cause they wont gain more viewers on tv because of some fan getting money IN THE ARENA... If you stopped drooling over TNA and opened your ears to the announcement you wouldve heard that...

Third time you've said that. They aren't giving the million dollars to people in the Arena, it's someone who has "tuned" into RAW on Monday Nights and he is randomly picked as the winner of one Million DOLLARS :shocking:

lol Vince is giving away money to get higher ratings...wow, why not just put on a better show? Anyway, I'm glad the draft is returning, WWE needs a big shake up and the draft will help do that. Hopefully we see Jericho, Cena, and Umaga go to Smakdown!

The only real change in my opinion would be:
-Batista and Jericho switch shows
-Orton goes to ECW
-HBK and The Undertaker retire
-HHH quits winning
-John Cena dies XD
-Let mid card go against main event

Giving money wont change your show...the above will

Is anyone esle tired of the 2nd/3rd generation thing yet?

Every single guy who debuts is a 2nd generation wrestler. Its not a big deal anymore. For every guy it has helped, it has done nothing for just as many.

If the guys are talented, have them develop their own gimmicks and own style. I'm sick of them leaching off the past.

So The Million Dollar man returns and Vince says he's going to give away a sum of a million dollars? Hmmmm.

Just think how awesome Colt Cabana would be as Virgil for Ted Jr, that would kick ass!

Also does anyone remember from back in the day when WWE gave away the JVC boom boxes and they always went to an empty seat? Expect more of the same this time around, If they wont give away a $300 radio they damn sure wont give away a million bucks. :smh @ Vince's attempt to buy viewers

I thought as soon as Million Dollarman and Million Dollorman JR finished there Promo and vince said he giving away Million Dollars dunno something just said to me its connected. I maybe wrong but i dont think vince is daft enough to waste a Million Dollars just for Sake Ratings when he hasn't got that much of a strong competion chasing him anyway. I think its to promote ted's up and coming book and ted JR's Debut on Main Event roster i cud be wrong tho.

Dibiase Jr.'s body kinda looks like Orton's. It's too early to tell, but if he can back it up with a decent moveset, I can see him taking Orton's spot as the youngest ever WWE Champion.

Anyway, this million dollar thing will be a complete dud. It doesn't make me want to tune in or go to an event or whatever the rules of this will be, and I doubt many other people will be intrigued either. WWE just doesn't get it. If they want higher ratings they have to stop giving us the same main event for three years and counting. I swear, watching RAW feels like a bad rerun nowadays. Also, take the damn belts away from Rhodes and Holly and give them to London and Kendrick, or Deuce and Domino, or Cryme Tyme, or a new tag team that we know could deliver, like Shelton and Burke. No, not DX. It's been done, it's over, stop recycling storylines and give us something NEW.
