So be honest
 
Who's trying to win the money?

MCEazy 06-03-2008 06:41 PM

considering canada's excluded annoyingly :(, i voted Crossine

Theo Dious 06-03-2008 07:13 PM

Yeah, like Vince is going to ship a million dollars out of the country.

Londoner 06-03-2008 07:17 PM

Like i even have a chance of getting any of it.

Afterlife 06-03-2008 07:25 PM

I don't think anyone is "trying" to win. You're basically signing up for a raffle. There's no advantage to take, it's the luck of the draw. And yes, I want the money. With this economy, who wouldn't?

SammyG 06-03-2008 07:26 PM

lol of course I want the money. I signed up during Raw, and I signed up this morning again, too. Might as well give it a shot. Do not know what I'd do if Vince Mcmahon called me, though. Would flip the fuck out.

Londoner 06-03-2008 07:28 PM

anyone got the link to it? or is the uk excluded like canada is?

Xero 06-03-2008 07:29 PM

Don't really care.

But it would be hilarious if some smark got it, and assuming the calls are aired, started to say some nasty shit, maybe in a non-obvious way.

Vince: Who's your favorite superstar?

Smark: Cena. Man, that man is so awesome. He has the Fuck You, the Shut The Fuck Up, the Five Knuckle Steph Fucker...... Hello?

Afterlife 06-03-2008 07:30 PM

Have to be an American, mate.

Londoner 06-03-2008 07:53 PM

Fuck that then.

Afterlife 06-03-2008 07:55 PM

I'll split it with you if I win.

Londoner 06-03-2008 07:56 PM

Cool, i'll rep you forever if that happens!

Afterlife 06-03-2008 07:57 PM

You got it, bud. :y:

Team Sheep 06-03-2008 08:00 PM

Yeah how is this rewarding the fans if it's only eligible to Americans.

Afterlife 06-03-2008 08:12 PM

Every game has it's rules. Hell, Nationwide Insurance is only available in, like, 30 states. Besides, for an American company to give out a chunk of cash to a foreign body when the economy is so shit -- well, it doesn't look all that great.

Team Sheep 06-03-2008 08:25 PM

It just makes us feel like shit though :( Like I have to watch Vince come out every week and yap on about something I can't even be a part of.

I see your point though Afterlife.

Innovator 06-03-2008 08:26 PM

Vince: You just won a 250k!

Me:....so how much of it do you want back to push Punk right?

ClockShot 06-03-2008 08:32 PM

Yeah. When 5th place is $51,998 and 6th is only $2.00, something is up.

Londoner 06-03-2008 08:43 PM

lol thats pretty fucked up.

You: Ok, keep it and push him!

Vince: What I do is right! Thanks for saving me $250k!

Not only that, but there are a lot more hoops to jump through to make a contest work internationally, in a legal sense. It's usually not worth the hassle.

Also, I mean, WWE is trying to boost American viewership, their primary market. Why would they include foreign fans?

Londoner 06-03-2008 09:26 PM

Cause foreign fans are important to perhaps?

Team Sheep 06-03-2008 09:28 PM

Oh well a million dollars is only worth like 500k over here anyway :p

Londoner 06-03-2008 09:28 PM

Could do with that though!!

Team Sheep 06-03-2008 09:30 PM

Haha aye wouldn't say no...

You're never going to be as important, though. I'm not saying "Fuck off, ferners!" but let's be a little realistic. You market to your primary consumers. You market to the people who will buy the most T-Shirts, whose ratings matter most, etc. For an American company with a primarily American base and so on and so forth, you don't give a million to foreigners.

Of course, nobody's asking you to like it, but that's how it is.

If they were calling trying to give me money, I doubt I would be that much of a douche bag.

Afterlife 06-03-2008 10:15 PM

:Vince calls on Live Tv.:

Me: Hello?

Vince: This is Vince McMahon!

Me: Get the fuck out!

Vince: In a related topic, your FCC fine will be covered by the exact ammount you just won.

:'( Oh well, atleast I feel like a rich man whenever I come to the US :D

Team Sheep 06-03-2008 10:39 PM

In all seriousness, it works out cheaper going on holiday to the US than it does going to Europe from the UK these days. Provided you can get a decently priced flight (which you often can these days as the number of routes across the pond keeps increasing) your accomodation and living prices once you're there are ridiculously cheap.

Team Sheep 06-03-2008 10:40 PM

And when I say Europe I don't mean The Costa del Sol :lol:

NoRoolz 06-03-2008 11:23 PM

Hey, I used to live on the Costa del Sol :rant:

NoRoolz 06-03-2008 11:23 PM

Also, Crossrine.

The One 06-03-2008 11:34 PM

The fraction of a chance to win is so small that it's not worth my time to sit and watch RAW. I'd rather spend a couple of dollars to play lotto than a couple of hours to play McMahon-Monaaayyy.

(P.S. I don't play lotto)

Afterlife 06-03-2008 11:37 PM

That's kind of ignorant.

The One 06-03-2008 11:38 PM

And, what dear sir, is ignorant about that exactly?

Juan 06-03-2008 11:38 PM

Yeah I signed up during Raw.

FourFifty 06-03-2008 11:40 PM

If I get the call I'm going to whore out Crossrine.

First of all, Watching Raw is the point of the money thing. If you're not a fan, you wouldn't sign up.

Secondly, the more people that carry your attitude, the greater the odds of winning.

The One 06-03-2008 11:53 PM

:nono: Uh, I don't watch RAW, I don't watch any WWE programming because I've found that I enjoy my life more without having 5 hours of stuff to bitch about clogging up my days. I still watch wrestling, but Vince & Co ain't it anymore. So, in order for me to enter would require that I change that stance and begin to watch, hence my original statement that it's not worth my time and I'd rather give a couple of bucks to the state lotto than a couple of hours to McMahon.

And if choosing not to watch WWE and partaking in their obvious attempt to garner even a few more steady viewers is ignorant, than we live in one fucking dumb world.

Actually, we do live in a world predominately run by idiots, but that's just a coincidence and has nothing to do with this contest. :p
