Memorial Day Monday Night Raw: The Epic Announcement

Live Blogging Memorial Day Monday Night Raw

Here we go. The epic, historic, amazing Vince McMahon announcement. The entire WWE lineup has emerged from the locker room to hear what the Chairman has to say. How will the announcement “affect ever RAW viewer?”

Vince starts by telling us that there’s going to be another WWE Draft in four weeks. That’s been expected. No big deal there. Where’s the epic-ness, the monumental-ness, the historic-ness?

“It’s all about the money,” Vince begins “I’m going to give away cash money every week.” Oh yeah. Here it comes. We’re so excited. How much? How much? How much? How much?

“Each and every week on RAW I’m going to give away $1 Million.”

Then the show ends. That’s it. Huh? That announcement, while appealing, didn’t quite live up to the hype.

I guess a cool million could be cool but what are the details. Is it $1M in the sense of the $20M Floyd Mayweather, Jr. got for Wrestlemania XXIV? Is it $1M in the sense of Ted DiBiase’s millions or M.V.P.’s millions or JBL’s millions? Scratch that, JBL does actually have millions.

We’re guessing that right now the WWE website is being flooded with visitors and explanations so to spare their bandwidth we promise to do our own research at www.jabandgrapple.com and keep you informed on this this site how to make your wrestling viewing worth a lot.

Segment Grade: D The whole pay-you-to-watch gimmick is not nearly as epic as we wanted it to be. That said, if I happen to be the one who wins the million this grade turns into an A++++.
