It shows how dangerous it can be in there, and seeing a Legendary wrestler who knows what he is doing in the ring die, it brings light to how dangerous it really is.
Surprisingly, Misawa was still wrestling a full-time schedule, mostly in tag matches. He was a veteran in that area, as he was a former tag team champion. Even the tag match he was was for the tag team titles.
Seeing a guy wrestle that long and still at a high level according to many fans, is very cool to see.
The former World Champion was just 45 years old.
WWE RAW Commercial FREE?
In a huge move from USA Network, they are actually going to let WWE RAW go commercial FREE starting June 22nd. This means 40 minutes of extra content, so writers be ready.
Seeing the FULL 2 hours instead of the commercials you have to wait through is good for programming. The WWE actually makes no money of the ads on the show as USA pays them one bug lump sum for their perceived value.
The reason for this was because USA knows RAW brings in a lot for their overall figures, and they feel without commercials fans will stick around longer instead of flipping to another channel during commercials and staying there rather than coming back to USA Network.
It is a good idea if you ask me, and it could help RAW ratings on top of helping USA out. This is not something that is new to channels out there. Other networks have had success with this before.
Basically what they do is drop a lot of ads in programs before and after that program to help make it up to advertisers.
However, advertisers for some reason think of wrestling as low-brow entertainment despite the high numbers it gathers in. So they would rather go to what they see as a "classier" program with smaller numbers, kind of stupid if you ask me.
This means Advertisers won't be upset with the commercial FREE WWE RAW, so USA has nothing to lose here.
With the bonus time, RAW could be even more fun to watch in coming months.
