of course it doesn't look terrible or demonstrate anything like that, by that logic every bit of kayfabe ever looks terrible. What's really terrible are the people that over-analyze things that are so small and meaningless.

Ryan Clark is a waste of sperm. How is it sad that WWE is working the internet? It's smart in my book. It's not like you see WWE posting "suicide" videos on youtube to "work" the internet...
Now that would be sad...

It's a work. If Nash was released for real, he wouldn't be featured on their main news section .

This shows how stupid Ryan Clark is. First he announces the release. Then he follows up with the post that it's a work and Nash will return at Night of Champions along with his side comment that it's sad when the WWE tries to work the Internet, and now according to him the release is due to Nash filming a movie and the production company not wanting to insure him while he wrestles.

It's like when dude marked out at the Undertaker/Brock exchange and said it stemmed from backstage heat... then it was a work... then the truth came out that Taker was doing a bit of his own thing.

But it also shows that working the "smarks" can be successful. So to say that they should not work the internet is silly.

PWInsider:
As noted before, Kevin Nash’s “release” that was announced earlier today is all part of what’s happening on TV. The release was announced to play off the major deal that John Laurinaitis signed Nash to on RAW.
The reason for Nash’s exit from the WWE storylines is because Nash has booked a movie role, likely the same one that he is dieting for. Word is that the people behind the movie didn’t want to insure Nash for filming while he was working as a pro wrestler. Nash will likely stay gone until he is done filming the movie. No word yet if this will affect any of his independent dates.

Has Nash's ring work actually been better than his mic work? Those two powerbombs were pretty good.

I am in the minority like Mohammad Hassan and think it may just be real. For the simple fact that WWE have never announced someone as "futured endeavoured" online unless it was real. Of course there are firsts for everything though.

Also, they've recently started using the term "future endeavored" on television. CM Punk actually said the exact words to Nash on RAW after he was "fired". This all fits. You really think Nash was really fired after hopping into a car with Laurinitis?

Who says working the internet doesn't work? There are quite a few people in this very thread that have no idea if he is actually released or not.

I'm not saying that they are the smartest of people because he is clearly not released but it still works.

I think the only way they would face the shareholder fraud thing is if it was on the corperate site. I am prettty sure that shareholders know that the regular WWE.COM will be used to further stories.

They made PR claims at the time.

Even if it didn't go up on the corporate site, this was to placate both parents and shareholders. Probably advertisers too.

Also, remember there was an investigation regarding the "sale" of Raw to Trump. Which proves two things: One, they really don't need to stick their necks out too far, and two, shareholders are retards who panic over storylines (Since it was the major sale of the stock that prompted the look, and that was NOT on corporate).

Is this the same as selling Raw? No. Does it need to be to incur an investigation? No. Does Vince know this? Empahtically YES. Is he retarded? Maybe.

Of course, "working the internet" only really works if it translates to more buys, more views, more eats, more money in short.

It's been done before, but the major point about working the internet is that there's no real point or gain.

As it is, that still holds. No such endeavour has yet proved to actually draw people.

I don't think you're giving kayfabe enough credit, Mr. Knight. It's a time-honored tradition, and though they won't flat out DENY it anymore, they'll still let it roll. People who hold shares should know enough about what they're holding shares in, in my opinion.

As far as this work having a point, it's creating speculation, which I would say is a good thing for fans. I'm a fan. Fuck shareholders, ratings, sales, or whatever the fuck. As long as they're afloat and I'm enjoying the product, then great.

You've also admitted to ridiculously low standards before. I'm not sure if there is a possible point at which you would actually stop enjoying the product. Regardless, they're not doing it for your enjoyment. WWE is run like a business, after all. I made peace with that years ago, and I think most grounded people did. It's pretty clear they wouldn't "work" the internet without intent to gain. Which was my point. Making whether you enjoyed it moot. It's nice and all, but it's clearly not the point.

KAYFABE is really beside the point, again, because they have been a corporate enterprise for several years now. This means they have certain limits, and lying to shareholders is not acceptable, even if you say "kayfabe." There's a rather large difference between working the audience and working the investors, as the latter is quite illegal. It seems to be a proposal that they did such a thing, here.

The main thing that seems to drive that notion is the general cynicism. People have become so accustomed to works, they call them with the frequency JR says something loud and excitable. They call "work" here, when so few of the "work" attempts have paid off, and the risk would be pretty high. Occam's razor isn't just for the discussion forum. Sorry.

But I am talking facts.

If I'm vesting enough interest into anything to purchase shares of it, chances are I'm going to have some inkling of understanding as to what is actually going on with the company. WWE is a unique form of entertainment. If the people pumping money into it aren't aware of that, then they probably should have done some more research.

To me, it sounds as if you're saying that they should just openly admit what's real and what's not about every single thing that happens on TV. With the internet being as accessible and popular as it is, it would effectively kill kayfabe, and that would paint a very drab picture for fans. Where does the money come from? Those very same fans.

I've never "admitted to ridiculously low standards" before. That's your opinion that you've cast upon me, and you're entitled to that. All that withstanding, I think the reason that we don't see eye-to-eye on a lot of issues is that at the core of things, I AM a fan. I'm pretty sure you are too, but somewhere along the way, you started feeling like you had to be "smart" about things and think about them from a business standpoint. Again, the WWE is a truly unique form of entertainment, and it's difficult to draw comparisons to most things because of that FACT.

Are you a shareholder? No. Are you making any money off of anything that WWE does? No. However, for some reason, you want to sit there and act like you're a part of that side of things, and I really don't see how any of this can even be fun for you.

This is a work. It's nothing new. Anybody with money involved SHOULD know that, but if they don't, then it's their fault. Regardless, as a FAN, this is all a ton of fun, and if you aren't finding any enjoyment in it, then I feel bad for you. I know you haven't said anything about not enjoying it, and maybe you're just sparking discussion, but there's no need to talk down to me about it either way.
