I just don't understand why Vickie is even required anymore. Especially in an authority figure role considering that it's already filled by HHH and Stephanie. As for Brad Maddox, I have no idea why he even exists. Eric Bischoff had a fling with a Pixar character in the late 80s. The result? Brad Maddox.

Seriously, why would anyone want to work for WWE at this point?
It boggles the mind that there aren't journalists crawling all over one another to profile the f***ed up work environment WWE cultivates. You could fill an entire season of 60 Minutes with exposes on this company, without even having to touch Owen, Benoit, steroids, or rehab.

Thing about actually having a job that you wanted when you were 8 is that you'll put up with all sorts of bullshit to keep it! Also, there's a steady supply of people who are exactly the same as you, except maybe a little more willing to put up with bullshit.

I can't wait until someone on the active roster gets cancer.
No really, I can't wait. It will be comedy *&^%ing GOLD.

Vince probably sees dehydration as a sign of weakness knowing that crazy mofo. Well Vince and HHH are both muscleheads so both are obviously into fitness. Anyone into fitness should know the key to growth is staying hydrated. Any physical performer should be drinking 1-2 gallons of water daily.

Here are my thoughts about the booking of the Divas last night.
WWE seemed to know full well that the Divas Musical Chairs segment was going to suck. They knew to protect AJ and Tamina by not having them out there. They planned to stop the Musical Chairs well before it would have ended if there was no brawling. They instructed the announcers to make fun of it.
Well then, WHY DID YOU DO IT!!! GET MORE CREATIVE! The least you could do is have the featured band play a song and let some Divas boogy down in cowgirl outfits during the performance. This is not really would us hardcore fans want, but it's better than going ahead with a segment that you know will suck.
The AJ/Vickie segment, as I already stated previously, showcased Vickie Guerrero over AJ. Also, the whole point of it seemed to poke fun at AJ's fainting because she was dehydrated. Why poke fun at that? I thought Vickie did all of her work pretty well, including her backstage antics. But AJ just seemed like the background player.

This is what I would have done.
During the musical chairs shit, have AJ walk out there and laugh at how pathetic it all was, and let her drop another vicious (but honest) pipebomb
Then to punish Vickie, make her wrestle Stephanie. Then Stephanie can carry out her alpha bitch fantasies, and AJ would avoid the whole debacle.

Impossible. The WWE overlords are ruthless, vindictive monsters. She was forced into this and she hated every second of it. Yyyyyep! Because rephrasing something else someone said such that it's extreme, ridiculous, and obviously not what they meant is always a helpful contribution to any discussion! Please turn your sarcasm setting on. Shockingly enough, a lot of people on FAN post jokes. You're acting like your avatar

Honestly, I'm just sick of Vickie in general (and not because of this segment, as I'm no AJ fan either). I'm glad she found work after her husbands death, but does so much of it have to be on my screen? Yes, Vickie is hot and awesome. I can't wait until someone on the active roster gets cancer. No really, I can't wait. It will be comedy *&^%ing GOLD.

Just another face palm moment by Vickie. I think I'd rather have a non fan walk in on me watching a Hornswoggle segment than what she did on RAW.

It was probably WWE just doing their usual shtick of taking up TV time with a "hilarious" in-joke or rib and no real harm was meant by it. However, between this and the obsession with her tattoo, I get the feeling that as much as they realize her value to the company, there are still a lot of people in WWE who enjoy having a few laughs at AJ's expense. Call it a more mild case of the "J.R. Syndrome."

AJ is Vince's baby, his "next Miss Elizabeth". No matter what happens to the rest of them, though. Hell, it probably plays to their benefit to make AJ look like the only real wrestler in the division by making the rest of them look like a bunch of fools in bullshit segments like this. AJ gets more over, the rest of the Divas get less relevant, and the boys in the back don't have to put any thought into booking any Divas except AJ. Which works for them, because Lord knows they don't have the slightest clue how to write for women. Probably had themselves quite the laughing fit watching the Divas embarrass themselves out there.

Also, there's a steady supply of people who are exactly the same as you, except maybe a little more willing to put up with bullshit. Yep, and this is the reason why being a pro-wrestler is such a depressing reality right now. Outside of John Cena and some of the part-timers, it's not about star power anymore. It's about the 'WWE brand'. Which is why the wrestlers have to deal with so much crap, because they know that if they do anything that displeases management they'll be out on their ear and replaced by one of the many younger talents in NXT. And where else is there to go? A stagnant TNA who are apparently in financial troubles? ROH, who've lost most of their star power and can still only get a few hundread to their big shows? That's the reason why only a select few get booked in meaningful storylines and are allowed to get a connection to the audience, whilst midcard stars are floundering in meaningless matches, competing for worthless titles and given no storylines or distinct characters. If someone like a Zack Ryder or Alex Riley got released tomorrow it would be talked about on the internet for a few days but in the long-run it would mean nothing. Ratings and buyrates wouldn't be affected at all. But it goes higher than that. We've even seen it with Sheamus - a 3x world champion and former Royal Rumble winner, he's been out for a few months now and the product hasn't changed a bit. I'm a fan of the guy and I've barely noticed his absence.
