Why WWE Ran the Raw Mirror Segment with Adam Rose

adam roseAccording to F4WOnline.com, WWE ran the odd backstage Raw segment with Adam Rose and the mirror to promote the WWE Studios movie “Oculus,” which comes out on DVD today.

Paglino: I’m all for WWE promoting its products, but can’t they find a way to work promos into the show so they make some kind of sense?

That was the most random, out of place segment on Raw last night. It in no way made me think to buy “Oculus” on DVD, it further added to Adam Rose’s meaninglessness on TV, we are all dumber for having watched it, and may God have mercy on your soul.
