WWE Raw: 10 Things You May Have Missed (Dec 12)
8. Byron Saxton Correcting Himself
WWE's announcers have an awful lot to get through on every broadcast, a fact which often makes criticism of those narrating the action unfair. Instructed to big up a milestone for the WWE Network this week, Michael Cole, Byron Saxton and Corey Graves told viewers that the subscription service had surpassed 7,000 hours of original content.
That's when Saxton tried to run through some of the things potential customers could see on the Network. Along the way, the announcer talked about the different pay-per-views, TV shows and documentaries on the service. There was just one problem, he mentioned WCW before WWE.
Stumbling over his words a little, Byron then went back on himself and replaced WCW with WWE, putting his current employer first on the list. This came across as unnatural, do WWE really still have a problem with WCW appearing superior?
The McMahon family own WCW's library, so they should be talking it up rather than making employees fearful of showing respect towards the Atlanta-based promotion.
