Potential issue regarding RAW next week

[Steveweiser]

RAW is taking place this coming Monday night (October 7th) at the CONSOL Energy Center in Pittsburgh. Problem is, it's possible, maybe likely, that Game 4 of the NLDS between the Pittsburgh Pirates and the St. Louis Cardinals will be played on Monday night about a mile away at PNC Park. No start time has been announced, but it very well may start in prime time.

It's not going to be anything like the incident where the NBA required the Pepsi Center in Denver for the Western Conference Finals, and WWE went off in a huff last minute to the Staples Center in Los Angeles, and spent a lot of the show burying Denver, but if there's a low attendance, or fans aren't caring/checking their phones instead of watching the ring, you'll know why. WWE will probably be hoping for a 3-0 sweep. Either that, or call MLB asking for Game 4 to have an afternoon start.

How were WWE supposed to know that the Pirates would make the postseason for the first time in over 20 years?

Hell, depending on how the AL Wild Card game goes tonight we may have a very inattentive King for the next month or so. Not that I'd be complaining.

[The Sam]

Well hopefully they can't make fun of the name of Pittsburgh Pirates owner, S. Crotum von TinyPenis.

Looks like we see the return of Pirate Paul Burchill who then gets squashed in 10 secs by a newcover called "The Cardinal".

So basically no change for King.

I've been wanting a wrestling Bishop-Priest type character for a long time with the catch phrase "I'll beat the HELL out of you!"


I'd settle for a Cardinal.

He'll do what Mike Tenay and Taz did on a TNA episode awhile back and watch the game on one of the monitors.

Either that, or call MLB asking for Game 4 to have an afternoon start.

If that call is made I demand that it be recorded and played for all to hear. Something tells me that there would be copious amounts of laughter on the MLB end of the line.

Looks like Evan Bourne would finally have something to do.

How dare this article question the passion of the WWE audience.

Their attention will be kept by having a good amount of rematches and/or predicatable matches, characters ruining the illusion of the narrative for the sake of looking edgy, some small people managing to fend off much more muscular athletes and a pair of confused American matadores that think they are from South America.

Knowing Vince and if Mondays debut of Los Matadores Monday is any indication, he 'd be accompanied to the ring by a midget in alter boy robes.

I am now imagining the writers struggling to come up with a joke based on this name...

There's got to be someway of mocking it....

This can't be that unusual in cities with teams that compete in playoffs regularly.

Vince: "As far as Pirates owner Bob Nutting is concerned? His NUTS are no match for my GRAPEFRUITS!"

[The Peoples Elbow]

Steve, I live in Pgh too. I wish I could make it to CONSOL, but I'm saving up for a trip in Dec.

Well, as far as baseball goes, Pittsburgh hasn't been in the playoffs(or really, playoff hunt) for 20 years, so it's a different situation for them than places like St. Louis, NYC, Boston, San Francisco, etc.

Paul Wight was arrested for showing his dick to a hotel clerk and the charges were dropped due to lack of evidence. You put it together.
