I understand Vince is trying desperately to stop people from switching to Monday Night Football next week, but that logic seems fundamentally flawed. As a football fan, why would I choose to watch a recently cut footballer talk on a wrestling show when I could be watching an actual game. The same reason you'd buy Wrestlemania to watch a football player beat a wrestler in a wrestling match.

I wonder if Vince and Co. ever thought that Michael Sam may be busy with, I don't know, his career, to worry about a live mic on a wrestling show.

They're booking a feud between guys who almost made the NFL - Michael Sam vs. Brock Lesnar

Would be funny if he prefered signing with Montreal instead of appearing on RAW.
Lord knows we could use him. Think Ochocinco plays good football in 2014? He doesn't. Not the same position, but I'm sure Sam could be a star in this league.

Okay, as someone who's not American and doesn't watch American sports, what's all this about? educate me. Michael Sam is an American football player who made headlines by coming out as gay before this year's NFL Draft, thus becoming the first openly gay player ever selected in the NFL Draft in May after he was drafted in the final round by St. Louis. This past weekend, he was among the last few players cut by St. Louis prior to the season starting. His coming out made for a lot of speculation, in particular in wondering how it would affect the locker room atmosphere (even though he had come out to his college teammates his final year there with no problem). In fact, some say that could be a reason he was cut and not picked up by another team even though he had a solid preseason with St. Louis. In short, he's the first openly gay NFL player, and WWE wants publicity any way they can get it.

Triple H is in the ring and cuts a promo with Michael Sam. Triple H says since the NFL doesn't want him, he could try out for the WWE.
Michael: Hey, maybe I could even become the WWE Champion! Triple H: People like you don't get to become WWE champion. Michael: What?! You mean gay people? Triple H: Oh, no! No no no no! I meant black guys.

I'm sure the bait and switch WWE is doing will give them plenty of the good publicity they're looking for.

I don't see this backfiring and making WWE look bush league in any way, shape or form. I also don't see them acknowledging it when it doesn't happen on TV at all. I mean, the WWE isn't petty or stuck in a carnie mentality. They moved on from that stuff years ago! I hope this marks the return of Darren Young. No joke, I would mark if he came out to his old post Nexus theme. I loved that one.

It's a trap. Rusev is hiding underneath the ring.

Sam won't accept, but if he did you know there are a million ways they could ruin this.
I could see Vince laughing by himself yelling, "let's bring back Billy and Chuck...then that fat oily guy shows up..."

Sam and McMahon should appear in ring, Vince shows all the gay jokes they've made over the years, including HLA, Sam spears, skips off to 'Material Girl'

It's a trap. Rusev is hiding underneath the ring. He is running out of black guys to tap out. *hits Lashley music

Ugh, crap like this makes me embarrassed to be a wrestling fan. I detest Vince sometimes.
