WWE's Spanish Marketing Campaign for the WWE Network.

Anyone notice the sketchy part?

Some people did, as MLW and two notable AAA talents, Konnan and El Hijo de Fantasma have been tearing into it.


I hope it's not real. Such a stupid move.

I'm assuming that says 5 pesos a day (my Spanish is non-existent, quick Google translate confirms it).

5 pesos is of right now is 37 US cents, which adds up to $11.10 US.

Hopefully, Mexicans are charged the proper $9.99 per month and the 5 pesos a day is a quick approximation how cheap it is, rather than them being charged $11.10 per month. However, if WWE are actually selling the Network daily in Mexico, say goodbye to your PPV profit, people can buy Survivor Series for just 37 US cents.

What a dumb move. With the low price of the Network everyone knows what the ad should have been:

That's what I thought the thread was about.

Can't wait for the UK marketing campaign for the Network to include a picture of a cup of tea or a plate of Chicken Tikka Masala or something equally amusing.

Oh, I thought we were slamming it because it assumes all spanish-speakers like tortillas

Well, to be honest, everyone like tortillas.

That too. It's just a terrible ad.

To be fair half of a tortilla owns the Network pretty hard.

[Chainsaw]

"You can get a subscription for the price of a LEEEEETLE CHIHUAHUAH!"
*what they would probably be making ADR say if he hadn't been fired.*

[Perd]

That ad is tasteless. Unlike that half a tortilla. Which I'm sure is delicious.

I think Bray, of all people, would rather have ½ de tortilla.

[Boo!]

It's a little hookey I guess but don't really see the huge problem with it. This'll mainly target wrestling fans and if they're offended by the use of a tortilla they've really not been paying close enough attention.

Don't really see why this is offensive.

Would anyone blink if it was a US advertisement and it was a burger instead?

Figures that something referencing food has Bray Wyatt hanging around though. Too bad there's no Matt Hardy face poking out the side eyeing the food.

Well if it was Ireland and they had a bag of potatoes or a Pint of Guinness I'd find it terrible marketing, insulting and embarrassing on their behalf. As no normal company would run such a stupid ad.

But we don't need to worry about that here as instead I'm just embarrassed by their geography as they consider us part of the UK when it comes to any talk about the Network.

We should give the WWE the benefit of the doubt with this, they have a long, proud of history of sensitivity towards non-whites and other cultures and I don't think they'd do something this stupid purposely

Most people here probably wouldn't even think it's worth THAT much.

It'll be a double decker bus or a phonebox. It's ALWAYS a double decker bus or a phonebox.

[Mid-Carder]

To be fair, they love an American stereotype, too.
