Posted July 20, 200520 yr comment_2929093 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!
July 20, 200520 yr comment_2929150 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.
July 20, 200520 yr comment_2929287 Hey Loss, don't forget the ultra cheesy graphics for the wrestlers, when Vince and Jesse would go over the matches.
July 20, 200520 yr Author comment_2929696 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...
July 20, 200520 yr Author comment_2929991 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.
July 20, 200520 yr comment_2930016 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....)
July 21, 200520 yr comment_2935288 Maybe theyll trade back and forth, the first being Raw, the Next being SD! etc etc.
