It has pretty much been conceded by people in management that Vince McMahon’s segments on Raw this Monday didn’t come off too well. However, they plan on changing things up and “making them more fun” next week. Also, WWE officials were surprised at Monday’s rating being down from last week.
Vince McMahon and one of the winners of Monday’s contest appeared on NBC’s The Today Show for about two minutes earlier this morning. Host Matt Laurer conducted the interview and seemed amazed that McMahon was giving away his own money, not the company’s. McMahon said he’s going to give the money away as long as he likes. The co-host asked, “Ratings are up, right?” McMahon replied, “Let’s hope so.”
SmackDown will preempted in the following areas this week: Sacramento, CA (KMAX): Fri. June 13, 10p-12a; Hartford, CT (WTXX): Sat. June 14, 8-10 p.m.; Wilkes-Barre, PA (WSWB): TBD.
