Update on HBK Appreciation Night, Vince & Michael Cole’s Character, More

Posted on 08.02.12 | Category: WWE News

- WWE’s average attendance at domestic live events in June was 4,501 – down 22% from 5,771 in June of 2011. One could blame the economy but in comparison, attendance for Major League Baseball and Major League Soccer are both up this year while the Women’s NBA is even with last year.

- It was noted that Vince McMahon wanted the RAW 1000 show to be completely positive and made the call not to humiliate Jim Ross as he often likes to do. Vince has been trying to soften Michael Cole’s character lately, as to not be an outlandish heel. Vince seems to change his view on Cole’s character often but realizes that he can’t make him a typical face announcer at this point.

- As of this week, plans are for the Shawn Michaels Appreciation Night festivities to be held off-camera at RAW from San Antonio, Texas next Monday. A source expects that to change and Michaels be featured on TV in an angle with Brock Lesnar.

  • Vince is a bitch

    Vince does indeed like to humiliate Jim Ross. If I was Jim, I would walk right up to Vince and just smack the living shit out of him. The wrestlers and all of the crew would sympathise with Jim for doing so and Vince wouldn’t have a leg to stand on in court.

      Yeah but jr would be out of a job if he did that. It would be vindication if jr did thatt tho,it’s long over due. Vince is a dick for how he treats vickie and jr.

        would rather have no job and be on the street than be treated like a little bitch.

    Lawler was great on the mic in his heel days. I’d pay to see JR kick Vince in the grapefruits & then turn around pull his drawers down & make Mr McMahon the 1st member of the JR KMA Club. I would also hope JR ate plenty of bbq food before. Now that would be a real farterknocker.
