So many people wanted to see if Johnny gets fired or not.

LMFAO

Anyway, 3.99 end is incredibly strong. Real good week for WWE.

Hopefully, this will mean a big summer story line with Vince McMahon..

Stunning rating. Figured it would be good, but this is just crazy.

Ace draws. End of story case closed.

More than anything though, firing storylines draw. Noobs think guys are going to be truly fired and don't understand what's going on. With the stipulation for the lame ass cage match ME Sunday and someone getting 'fired' expect more strong ratings Monday.

3 hour show. It was at an all time high in first hour because of Vince, the guy they're pushing to the moon to replace Cena loses 415k views. Lmao. I hope Vince is crying.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

You're a mean guy

Spoiler

Vince is crying for your information

 

[Crayo]

Damn that actually makes me feel sorry for him.

No, please no. I've seen enough of Vince over the years on TV that I don't care to see him around for any long extended period of time.

 

[Testify]

3.99 for the overrun? That's practically 4.0. Fucking awesome because that didn't happen in a long, LONG time.. Bravo.
