Punk won over the girl without even trying.
Then AJ screamed at her.

Flip this around though. Imagine you are speed dating and one chick comes up to you and says she's the best in the world, one says she used to have a moustache, a nice on at that and another just kinda flexes, looks at themselves and asks are you in love yet? I'm pretty sure I'd hit the buzzer all three times, though I'd like to see the second ladies moustache before hand. Doesn't matter what I would do in that situation. It's a commercial that should be promoting the PPV but it only serves to denegrate the superstars. The women is "us" and what we are saying is that we don't "want" any of the superstars. It used to be about building up everyone. It's why they used to have an over midcard. now, it seems to be about tearing them down and it baffles me to no end. Sorry if I'm being too "tight". In this instance, I think you might be over thinking it just a tad. I mean, it's supposed to be a goofy commercial. I think it's supposed to show off how entertaining everyone is.

I like that they're showing all the different personalities and wacky characters that will be in the Rumble but from a marketing perspective it might be sending the subconscious message that all these guys are losers. Not only apparently are they all single, but some plain jane nobody isn't attracted to any of them. Strange gamble, considering how much time and effort WWE has spent courting the female demographic the past few years. Why do they even need the buzzing? That's not even how speed dating works. I would keep the commercial as is, just take away the buzzing.

How can she not be attracted to sexy beasts like Zack Ryder and Cody Rhodes?

Let's be honest, this commercial is a work of fiction. No woman or man can resist Roman Reigns. I'd have sex with Roman Reigns and if my girlfriend cheated on me with Roman Reigns, I'd shake her hand and say "congratulations, let's go get some pancakes to celebrate."

Better than last year's. This is one is more believable compared to the previous one.

I don't get it. I don't get why that entices anyone to buy a wrestling PPV. It's as if it's promoting a PPV is the preserve of wannabe sketch writers to hone their skils. I don't get wtf speed dating or someone buying a pair of shoes or a lady on a bike or someone getting on a bus - or whatever - is relevant to anything.
The standards of expectation must be absurdly low these days if a piece of complete irrelevance like that gets praised. Are people genuinely to think "Well, I wasn't going to pay $40 for the show but the tattoo thing was funny, so I'm sold"

Important to note that Orton didn't get buzzed at all, which means they totally banged

It's a 90-second commercial designed to grab people's attention, not a segment on Raw building storylines.

It's a 90-second commercial designed to grab people's attention, not a segment on Raw building storylines. What attention does it grab? "That's funny, I really must buy a wrestling ppv" attention? I'm annoyed by how this irrelevance is tolerated. Like the poster last year or the year before with Santino over a crystal ball. Why was that relevant to anything? So much of their advertising is pointless and irreverent for the sake of it and more people need to call them out on it instead of indulging writers who are misrepresenting the product as part of a stepping stone to get on the SNL sketch-writing team. If you're building a cookery show - you promote food. Building a boxing match - promote using something related to boxing. Promoting a wrestling match? Apparently you just do any old crap because all that matters is grabbing people's attention - apparently. I look forward to the next UFC ppv that's promoted by someone waiting in line at the store. I'm sure it'll be hilarious and everyone will think "That amusing little queue scene has put me in a right mood for some MMA" - it'll work a treat If the standard is "it has the lolz" then to be honest I think we have the product some of us deserve.
