1. Plugging Network Shows

Has Vince McMahon finally figured out a way to advertise for the WWE Network during Raw? If so, we’re in store for a lot more lame rehearsed comments from wrestlers trying to get the Network over rather than putting over a feud.

During his backstage comments, Seth Rollins compared a possible triple threat Hell in a Cell match to an episode of Table for 3. No joke. After watching several of the Table for 3 episodes, it’s safe to say that a HIAC match bears no resemblance to Big E eating lettuce. Shortly after that, Curtis Axel lamented that he felt like he was on an episode of Swerved because their opponents got jumped, leaving the Social Outcasts without opponents.

Memo to WWE: NO ONE talks like his in real life. Period. If you can’t figure this stuff out, then you’ve got problems.
