In your area, did the ad for Smackdown...(EDIT--Spoilers from Smackdown--)
 

...Say that the draft result would be announced in the first ten minutes?

When UPN 38/Boston was hyping the draft lottery, they then said "Don't miss the first ten minutes" So I was wondering if anything similar was hyped elsewhere.

Edited since people have now mentioned who the draft pick is for this week. Not directly, but you'd have to be stupid not to figger it out.

I don't know... I missed the entire 1.5 hours. :mad:

Have they shown the draft pick yet? Or did I miss it?

I have a feeling he's coming out during this match.

I didn't see him announced on SD! yet though. I may have missed him, but I don't think I did. That would take more than the 30 seocnds I was off pissing, I think.

Yah, he just showed up.

Please... oh PLEASE..

tell me i wasnt the only one to mark out

I got pissed off because that worthless overrated son of a bitch was back on my TV and now he's going to steal the spotlight from true talents like Benoit and Guerrero! http://tpww.net/forums/images/smilies/mad.gifhttp://tpww.net/forums/images/smilies/mad.gifhttp://tpww.net/forums/images/smilies/mad.gifhttp://tpww.net/forums/images/smilies/mad.gifhttp://tpww.net/forums/images/smilies/mad.gifhttp://tpww.net/forums/images/smilies/mad.gifhttp://tpww.net/forums/images/smilies/mad.gifhttp://tpww.net/forums/images/smilies/mad.gifhttp://tpww.net/forums/images/smilies/mad.gifhttp://tpww.net/forums/images/smilies/mad.gif

that MNM segment was great.

Orton isn't bad at all. Why does everbody want to hate him? Backstage stuff?? He's extremely good in the ring...

Sorry, you just made me want to stab my eyes out with rusty forks.

Yeah, it said that before the show.

It was all like "You do NOT want to miss the first ten minutes!!!"

Maybe they meant the last ten minutes.

You spelled boring wrong.

Even then, there wasn't much to miss until the interference...

Yeah. Were we supposed to actually boo Eminem for interrupting a pointless Heidenreich/Divas promo?

Then again, Heidenreich + huge chocolate candy bar = ratings

What stopped you?

Melina: What are you gonna read me a lame ass poem?

H: huh?

Melina: Are you going to ask me to be one of your stupid friends?

H: Maybe
Plus the 2 guys in the backround.

So you had three boring people mocking one boring person.

I mean, come on. How creative do you have to be to mock Heidenreich's poems? Michael Cole did it. :|

ah man that segment sounds like crap

Also, since there are already spoilers in here, is it me, or did the Undertaker get a PERM?

Hey... Melina's top was slipping pretty down in that cat fight... :shifty:

Back on subject here.

My UPN station didn't do this, even though they are seemly proud of their UPN affiliation.

Though I cannot say a lot of good things about our UPN station (which just got started this past December and replaced UPN19/Pittsburgh on our cable systems). they sometimes run too many commercials and thus cut off about the first10-30 seconds out of a program on UPN. And they run that damn Focus On The Family (or should we call it "Fuckup Of The Family") thing every newscast with Dr. Strange Dobsion. But they finally got a UPN affiliate in WV, so that isn't all bad...I hope.

the ads here are always like that btw

only it says "THE FIRST FIVE MINUTES"

yeah when I used to see ads here they would always say don't miss the first five minutes.

nothin happens in the first five minutes cept for talking.

I don't think I've ever seen them do this on WSBK before.

It's called trying to drive ratings. Most TV shows get their ratings in 10 or 15 minute intervals. If you get people to tune in for the first 10-15 minutes of a show, then the entire half-hour or hour gets that rating. Bigger rating = higher cost to advertisers who want to put their spot on during that show.
