WWE has a article and a video showing how they are expanding their social network on the 1,000th episode of Raw. Some of the stuff they are doing will be:

*You can use Tout to upload short videos of yourself and maybe get wrestlers to answer the videos or get the video played on Raw.
*You can use Twitter to vote on wrestlers to be placed in matches or types of matches you want to see.
*You can use different sharing sites like Youtube, Instagram, etc. to get bonus videos/pictures etc. from Raw and the wrestlers.

Man this is a buzz kill. Why not MORE wrestling like TNA? Sigh.

Why oh why can't Vince stop admiring the shiny Twitter and Youtube logo, and focus on what his company is Wrestling. WWE: World Wrestling Entertainment

That's great on paper. Fan interaction is always a good thing, and if they can use it as a way to push the guys that we want to be pushed, that's wonderful. Having short backstage segments with fan questions could be awesome, as long as the questions don't go to Sheamus. Social media can be great for wrestling if done right.

But whenever you throw "if done right" onto a WWE article, it's a bad sign. So far the WWE Twittah usage has been nothing short of disasterous. Plus the audience is mainly casuals, and on one Viewer's Choice Raw the "fans" voted that Hornswoggle and Khali deserved a tag title shot. All of WWE's "fan voting" seems like a farce anyway, so whatever input we give them will be all for naught.

The lack of wrestling doesn't really bother me, since there isn't much wrestling on the show now, and most of the matches that they have feel completely pointless. I'd rather see them pack the third hour with character development.

Not that fan decisions or anything will matter, whenver fans "vote"... Michael Cole vs Jerry Lawler happens with an exact 25/75 percent scenario. This will probably be more useless Social Media whoring to annoy us during the show.

^ We don't need to read spoilers to find out John Cena will win.
