Details on The WWE Announcers Burying The Highlight Reel Segment Last Night

[Silkk]

It was a Vince McMahon call…

- Last night's edition of the Highlight Reel on Raw did not go well, and WWE let the fans at home know it as Michel Cole and Jerry Lawler buried the segment. On air, Cole and Lawler were heard laughing, stating how bad the segment was and asking when it would end so they could go to commercial

This was a case of Vince McMahon telling Cole and Lawler what to say through the headsets. When segments fall flat on TV, and the audience doesn't respond, Vince has been known to bury the segment and those involved on air.

Word is that Brad Maddox is the one that will most likely take the majority of the heat, as it was his part of the segment that most felt got awkward and embarrassing.


at Maddox being the scapegoat

Knew it was a Vince call but still...WM season? You're gonna tell the viewers it's a joke during WM season and Jericho being out there? Wild.

michael cole is a damn puppet no wonder he never got fired...cokeboy says jump cole says how high

 

[g-ice]

I would of buried that shyt too.

Honestly though they should of known that that was gonna happen. How they trying to sell an angle by having them gloat about them starring in low budget B-movies.

Nobody got time for that, and the fans in the arena sure as hell did not have time for that.

I'm rarely clear on the times Vince is feeding lines - last night was extremely obvious. You could just hear Vince's voice in Cole's comments
