Everything is dumb if it wasn’t their idea or done how they do it. Obvi.
Big 12-WWE Partnership
- Thread starter BigJCy
- Start date
As one of those that don’t care, I hope that this is actually ignorable. If this is just something like the Dukes mayo bowl where they have a presentation following the game, fine. But I hope they won’t have WWE actors or Vince McMahon in the booth during play. Nothing is worse than the announcers doing interviews and ignoring the play on the field
Whatchou gonna do, brother, when a WWE mid-carder hands a replica title belt to you!!??!!?!?
No matter what you think of their fans, there are a lot of them. And I'll take a cross-over promotion with the potential of a large group of new fans coming out of it. WWE will share it on their platforms (live tv, social media, etc.). The individuals involved will share it on their social media outlets. The Rock (no idea if he'll be involved) has 388-million followers on Instagram. If he shares it or promotes it and even one half of one percent of them decide to tune into the game, that's still almost 2-million watchers. This isn't a bad thing, even if you do think WWE and WWE fans are dumb.
I don't think Vince is associated with WWE any more. I have no idea what they have planned, but would a brief interview with a wrestler in the booth be that big of a deal? They do booth interviews in sports all the time. It's not like they are going to be in character and body slam the color guy or anything.
I would like to see Matt Campbell hit steve sarkisan with a chair
If I was guessing it'd be someone who has some sort of connection to the schools involved.
Undertaker attends Texas home games anyway, so that wouldn't be a stretch if he's there (assuming Texas is).
I don’t get this, much like everything BY has done outside of expansion
Player of the game is Rocco Becht, followed by Abu Sama blasting him with a chair shot and taking his belt. I am totally pumped up. Can't wait until a Kansas State offensive lineman allows our defense to crush his quarterback, then takes his K State jersey off to reveal he has been a Cyclone fan and player the whole time and has an Iowa State jersey on under it. . So many things of awesome could happen in my brain.
I hate the interviews regardless of who they are. The job of the booth is to give play by play and analysis of the game. Do the interview during halftime. If I wanted to listen to all the side stories I would tune into the Manning cast.
I guess im just turning into that old grumpy get off my lawn guy.
College football is a completely unserious sport. Anything that makes it even dumber and weirder is perfectly fine by me.
WWE is a billion dollar industry with hundreds of millions of fans. Why wouldn't any business partner or have a cross-over with them?
This is brilliant marketing. Like the product or not WWE is high profile company to partner with.
I guess my point is I don’t see WWE fans who aren’t college football fans probably aren’t tuning in. And visa versa. Unless this makes schools more money it’s pretty pointless.
Yea, who needs a halftime musician. Just have a cage match, but too bad they only have 20 minutes. A ties OK, right
Wonder if the Cavinder twin signing with TCU is related.
