34 WTF Moments From WWE RAW (Aug 30)
15. This Is The End...
This is the last time you'll see me going on about this nonsense. You've got me, WWE. You've won this war.
Did you see the Backlash advertisements throughout this week's RAW? I certainly did. Backlash, of course, is a SmackDown exclusive pay per view. SmackDown, of course, is the show that RAW is competing with.
Now I know that out of kayfabe both RAW and SmackDown are working for the same cause, but if I did these articles out of kayfabe we wouldn't have much to write about at all.
In kayfabe, Vince McMahon declared that RAW and SmackDown would be competing on all fronts, including television ratings and pay per view buys. Why then, is RAW directing its audince over to SmackDown's content? After what Vince said duirng THAT fateful closing segment on RAW just before the draft, it makes absolutely no sense.
Why did he need to say it at all if he wasn't going to see it through?
That's it though. It seems that this will be a piece of shoddy story telling that WWE won't be sweeping under the carpet for us to forget.
