I could easily do without the vast majority of these features and if the TOUT thing occurs on raw I may have to give up on it all together.

 

[Chris]

I don't see this lasting too long to be honest.

 

[John McHenry]

I dunno some of those are just bleh they mean nothing but tout actually interferes with the broadcast in my opinion I hope they forget something or someone starts to get featured regularly and sues.

They gloss over everything in that I wonder how annoying it'll be getting. I'm getting closer every day to wanting someone to pull the internet plug Snake Pliscan may have had it right.

So basically shti people do all the time with a smartphone at, before, and after an event through social networking. Eh it was already going on, they just cashing in, smart business.

 

[John McHenry]

except for them plastering it all over raw even more and putting fan videos on raw? Who wants to bet that its people that give wrestling a bad name.

 

[SAIYANS]

Ryders stick and the Dirt Sheet didn't? It's all silly shit and there is a place for it as long as they contain it

 

[Defiant]

When the product begins to revolve around Twitter, you know there's a problem developing. The Twitter intergration used to be slightly irritating but admittedly a great way to involve the fans in a fun, indirect way. Now, watching Raw feels like mostly bad comedy segments and shameless promotion. WWE are fast going overboard with all this.

 

[Lewb]

Hopefully this will just be a phase, and it will bomb. I don't see anything getting on air apart from 12 year old kids dancing to Brodus' music or fangirling for Cena. I suppose I can live with the hashtags to choose match types, even going as far as saying I'd vote that way, as it's free and something I do whilst watching Raw. As long as they don't mess that up like the whole Mason Ryan incident a few months back haha.

 

[The New F'n Show]

I think it's really dumb but I guess you can't really hate on getting the crowd involved. I'd just much rather focus on the product itself.

 

[Prodigy]

Only chance you're gonna get a video broadcast if you have someone crying over Cena losing or something..

 

[Defiant]

I guess it depends how far they're willing to "involve" the fans. If its a Taboo Tuesday level thing where the fans have a direct say in the booking, well... You can see the logic behind it but there's a reason that sort of thing backfires a lot of the time.

But maybe I'm being paranoid. Its just that its already starting to bug me.

 

[Derrick]

As long as they don't mess that up like the whole Mason Ryan incident a few months back haha.

The Mason Ryan incident? Remind me. BTW. What's happened to the dude? Haven't seen him for a while.

 

[Dale]

It was we had the chance to vote for Evan Bourne's opponent and the system got bugged and showed Mason Ryan as the winner even though Sin Cara was the clear winner.

Not keen on this idea because even though it has the potential to be good, it always ends up going to shit with crappy stuff to vote on like a dance off or an arm wrestle or whatever.

 

[Mr.Mayhem]

i dont think WWE will really use fans opinion to decide the match stipulation . All vinnie wants is bucks from those companies to add a million or two to the profits . Good Businessman . Also since Raw will be 3 hours , they need something to waste time or they would have to increase the length of matches which is a crime in an sports entertainment company . SO expect to see fat girls laughing over cena lame jokes or crying when somebody beats the shit out of him, "only on RAW " . Thank God there is ROH and indy .

What's happened to the dude? Haven't seen him for a while.

Can't talk , Can't wrestle . What do you think will happen to him ??
