The thing I despised about Raw last night was the seemingly millions (and millions) of references to sports teams. I don't live in America and I don't watch any American sports nor do most people outside the States so all the references are completely lost on us. Last night seemingly every segment the Rock was involved in had him talking about playing for the Miami whatevers and Cole trying to get heel heat by wearing the shirt of a rival team. It alienates any viewers outside America who don't give a flying f*** about American sports and even Americans who *gasp* don't actually watch sports. Even that video tribute for him seemed to have as much american football footage as WWE footage. I can live with it if it's just a throwaway mention but so many heels rely on it to get heel heat and last night Rock mentioned his 'football' or basketball teams over and over and over and even doing some stupid hand signal about it throughout the show. Stop going on about sports. It's bloody annoying. Sorry I just had to rant. It's an American show, and we love sports analogies for the most part. So it goes.

And I'd add that as an American, I had no idea who that rapper/dj or whoever that was that the rock brought out at the start of the show - pitbull? It didn't make me upset though. Not everything on the show has to cater to me personally.
