C)Finally, if they had 100 employees making 100 k that would be 10 million.

Their revenue for the first quarter of this year alone was just under 140 million. I'm not saying they pay "everyone" 100 k a year, but people should stop acting like those are ridiculous amounts for a company the WWE's size.

I could see that. I was taking in WWE as an entire entity.

Sadly, perhaps I should have said along the lines of hundreds of millions.. but, that seemed like a lot. But, let's keep the context that in my 5 years at my job, I'm still not at the point where I've made 100k.. so, it's a number I can't fully fathom either.

Not sure if anyone is tined in, but this has been a fairly kick ass episode of Raw.

Canada shows always seem to be good for some reason. I guess its because the Canadians are prominent, and for the most part the Canadian wrestlers are awesome.

I like the slight thing they have going on with Edges Spear becoming easy to read, and him struggling to hit it.

That's because Canadian fans are awesome like Pacific Coast, South-West, and Tri-State fans.

I'm not saying other fans aren't awesome. But they tend to be more vocal about who they like and who they don't like.

You know, I heard that the Canadian fans didn't like HBK, and.. lo and behold he's gone! I think there might be something to this. A conspiracy, perhaps?

Yeah, big pops are routine in Canada. Wish they went there more often.

And big boos. Canadians are smarkier than people in the USA. That leads to a larger tendency to not boo and cheer for the right people.

It was just plain awesome when Cena took on Edge in Toronto(I think?) and the face/heel roles were pretty much reversed.

I like that too. Fans should boo/cheer who they want.

Dammit..has Cena just decided to do these ridiculous over-the-top promos on a permanent basis? It's like he's become Tim Tebow.

[Dragonmack]

I tuned in just in time to see Bret Hart win the United States title. That was somewhat surprising.

LMAO I was just about to say that. He needs to add more God into his promos though. Like he could thank God that he can still wrestle or something

Just started this week's RAW -- normally, I leave that off until tomorrow afternoon, but you folks seem to be enjoying it enough that I jumped on.

No Danielson?

(Just got done with the opening segment, btw. Jericho walks off with his little smirk. Almost like he was saying to himself "... Nailed it!")

Zack Ryder and Evan Bourne in a match 2 weeks in a row? There goes the multi-verse!

[Linsolv]

Have any of these guys SEEN a real fight?

There's guys in boxing, get counted out after being on their knees for the 2 count. Might be an exaggeration, but I'm in the middle of the Edge/Christian match, and it's silly that he's on the ground, completely unable to move until the count of 9, when he leaps into the ring like a spry young thing.
