sek69 Posted July 20, 2005 Report Posted July 20, 2005 I was reading WWE's finanical filings (ever since I took accounting classes, that stuff interests me) and I saw this in the section on the new TV deal: In April 2005, we announced a new three-year deal with NBC Universal to air RAW and a one-hour weekend RAW branded program on the USA Network, and Telemundo and Mun2 will air Spanish-language versions of RAW , beginning in October 2005. Additionally, at least two yearly late night RAW specials of 90 minutes each will air on NBC Saturdays at 11:30 p.m. and at least one yearly one-hour special will air on USA Network. I've seen it mentioned as a hypothetical before, but this is the first thing I've read that confirms it: Saturday Night's Main Event is back!
Loss Posted July 20, 2005 Report Posted July 20, 2005 Yeah, I've read some stuff about it, but I haven't seen too much specific. I want the original cheesy theme music back (at least the first original music they used after "Obsession") and I want Vince McMahon and Jesse Ventura dressing up like they're in the safari. Otherwise, I'll boycott.
Slasher Posted July 20, 2005 Report Posted July 20, 2005 Sadly it looks like it's geared towards the Raw brand only....
Guest Mike Campbell Posted July 20, 2005 Report Posted July 20, 2005 Hey Loss, don't forget the ultra cheesy graphics for the wrestlers, when Vince and Jesse would go over the matches.
sek69 Posted July 20, 2005 Author Report Posted July 20, 2005 Sadly it looks like it's geared towards the Raw brand only.... Why wouldn't it be, it's part of RAW's TV deal after all...
sek69 Posted July 20, 2005 Author Report Posted July 20, 2005 Because it further treats SD like shit? Welcome to the WWE style of thinking. I get what you're saying, but they've been treating SD like shit so it didn't shock me that SNME 2.0 would be RAW only.
Slasher Posted July 20, 2005 Report Posted July 20, 2005 Thing is, yes the show(s) comes with the deal of moving Raw over to USA, but why should it limit to Raw? SNME should be something of a joint show, or if they planned to run like 2 of them, give Raw 1 and SD the other. It makes more sense that way, rather than put the Raw guys on it and going, "SD who?" But whatever.... (and yeah I know sek, I'm just ranting about WWE....)
Guest SweetMama Scaat Posted July 21, 2005 Report Posted July 21, 2005 Maybe theyll trade back and forth, the first being Raw, the Next being SD! etc etc.
