The World better be careful. I hear Bray Wyatt likes to eat those.
And I hear Neville opted out without even knowing what the consequences may be.

I want Team USA to feature a Texan constantly trying to leave to fight on his own before realizing he can't and retreating back to his teammates.

Vince McMahon is never going to realize it's not the '80s anymore, is he?

The NHL did this gimmick in the All-Star game a little bit ago; so it's not totally unheard of. It's a 3 hour show on an American Holiday from and American City; so I really don't see the harm. Personally, I like it, not because I am ultra patriotic, but because I always like Lethal Lottery type matches.

Vince McMahon is never going to realize it's not the '80s anymore, is he? I don't get whats so wrong about an american company doing a stupid gimmick to celebrate an american holiday. Because I don't trust WWE not to do some "USA beats up the rest of the world" crap and be overbearing about it on commentary. Because I'm just generally tired as a non-American of how WWE keeps going back to the well of these stories and celebrations that completely alienate their sizable international fanbase. If this was something they were doing as like a dark match on the show then cool, that's great. Open Raw on a fireworks show? Sure, whatever, pretty lights. But this is something that's going to be broadcast in 180 countries and 25 languages, and for as much as they like to brag about being a world entertainment company, they do this often enough that it comes off like they either don't understand what people outside of the US think about when they do this--and sure, this time it's because Raw falls on the 4th of July, but then there's stuff like the Cena/Rusev feud becoming America vs. Russia like people haven't spent the past 30 years laughing at the glorious absurdity of Rocky IV)--or just don't care. But it's just as much what they're doing as it is how much they're going to lean on it as more than just "a match to celebrate a day" and more "look at how great America is by way of 'our' wrestlers beating a bunch of foreigners".

I just want them to make a full blown Ryder Cup like tournament, although I think that's more suited towards the brand split now. Well, that settles it. This match will unofficially be for the Zack Ryder Cup. This might probably unofficially be for the Scott Pilgrim Vs The World Cup as well.

I am not looking forward to this.
For anyone who can look at Vince's track record with this kind of thing, and believe it will be a harmless way to honor the holiday and no more jingoistic than your average modern-day match between international sports teams ... I envy your capacity for optimism. I'd love it if you were proven right, but I'm not counting on it.

So, let's see. Owens, Sheamus, Del Rio, Rusev pretty much are guaranteed to be on the foreign team, right? Then are they going with Jericho? Zayn? Breeze? Will they have Miz betray his country and wrestle for team international?I guess it doesn't really matter. We all know team "America, F*** Yeah!" is going to win in a sweep. Been there, done that:

Could be a way to turn someone heel by costing team USA the match, betraying your country on the 4th July wouldn't be the worst start to a heel run.

I'm calling it now: At some point in the 24 hours after Raw airs, WWE PR will release a statement of some sort apologizing to their viewers across the globe for something or another that happens on the show.
If WWE ever plans to truly go global like they're currently attempting, they *have* to ditch this sort of thing and mentality.
