horrible Trump storyline

I mean really, what do WWE expect to gain with these Trump tie ins? What audience do they really expect to get attention from? I dont know anyone who is 18-40 who really could give a flying fuck about him.

They should have had Million Dollar Man buy Raw. Even that would have been better.

No sir. They would legally be required to release the information being a publicly traded company, and no such information has been released.


As previously reported, and confirmed by new Raw authority Donald Trump, the USA Network have decided to test the waters running WWE Raw without any commercial breaks starting June 22nd. Raw itself doesn't get any revenue from their commercial slots because the network pays them a lump sum based on their perceived value.
Despite being consistently high in ratings, wrestling is still considered low brow redneck entertainment by advertisers, who would rather pay more money to advertise on a classier show with less viewers.

However, USA count on WWE's strong ratings to pull up their overall figures, so this test is to see if viewers stick around longer because there are no breaks, thus giving WWE higher ratings and therefore pulling the network even further up in the cable wars.

What this means for fans around 35 minutes of extra content.
