Million Dollar Dream
Will The Chairman reveal more about McMahon's Million Dollar Mania on Raw this Monday?
---------------
Is it a coincidence this is all happening with the dibiase's sitting about challenging people? can i smell a really clever storyline somewhere???
technicly as its a "entertaining sports drama" or whatever, whatever vince says, doesnt neciserrily have to be true at all.
hmm.
i still think hes just doing it for media attention, but with it being written like it has been, just smacks of somthing fishy

I think its 100% legitimate, if you look at the WWE's yearly profits I suppose $52m 'loss' per year is nothing, although I would wager any amounts that they will involve a text message service that is probably $2 for a shot, Vince has not become so rich overnight by simply giving his cash away, he enjoys a gamble though as well, as the XFL proved, I am not really interested in it at all, its not about the wrestling, if it where a wrestling angle then I would be interested, its simply a basic game show giveaway!
The Million Dollar Man will have nothing what so ever to do with this angle, I am pretty sure about that, there is bigger fish to fry with this '2nd generation stable' that is hopefully being built

lol maybe i did for a bit, but meh i think a storyline should come from it.
i just reacted to the way it was written about on wwe.com
but it doesnt neciserilly have to be true, if he wanted to do somthing.
they keep wording it differantly aswell, somtimes it seems like a million a week, somtimes it seems like its a million in total.

Its $1m per week, thats the way I picked it up last Monday and everything I have seen since then is saying the same thing!
Yes you will see a $1m giveaway because thats all it is, only it will be every week, I dont know how long this is planned to run though!
To be honest I dont really care, I would far rather the money was used to entice guys like Christian Cage the MCMG and LAX over to the WWE
He is back Regular

this answer apply if it is legit it is "free" advertising and he might be doing it to attract more and more fans. I assume it is just a marketing strategy!!
did someone ever heard of buy one get one free???
it is the same thing that vince is doing right now!!!
and this one if not well like you said sexton, it could be a storyline building up behind this something for kenedy who need a push and who could be known now as the million dollar man. or it could be a new superstar coming in wwe and getting this name.

He's buying viewers pure and simple, this has been rushed into, that's pretty obvious.
It smacks of desperation, and I for one couldn't care less, in fact I hope it fucking backfires and rating drop and hit all time lows.
I want entertainment, not some fat yank being made a millionaire.

its not buying veiwers really, cos ppl at the events go anyway, just media stir.
like mayweather was a media hit for them.
but you are passionate about it, like they shouldnt do it, but i think its a good idea, just a bit boring from all the way over england

Its for the people at home isn't it?? (genuine question becasue i haven't a clue)
If it was TNA doing this then people would be all over it asking just how desperate are they.

i thought it was for a lucky fan at the show, every week?
so they could show them crying.
if its at home, expect more txt stuff.
speaking of which, i wonder how much the txt vote for HBK vs Batista raised the wwe in hard cash.
i want figures.
can imagine about a million dumb americans txting in for it lol

The Associated Press published a story this morning that included new details regarding Vince McMahon's "Million Dollar Mania" giveaway. Here are the details:
- The promotion begins next week on RAW (June 9).
- For a chance to win a part (but not all) of the $1 million, viewers must pre-register on WWE.com and then watch the beginning of "Raw" each week to receive a special code, which viewers must tell McMahon if he calls them during the live broadcast.
- The code will change each week of the promotion and will not be revealed until the beginning of each episode.
- The cash will be given away as part of a "lengthy promotional sweepstakes", McMahon and the WWE told The Associated Press.
- "People can view this as my own version of an economic stimulus plan to benefit our viewers," McMahon told The Associated Press.

Bet you have to have a membership on WWE.com to do that though, or they will find some other way of charging you.

Its gonna take more than money to bring old fans back, try entertainment, and by entertainment I don't mean sad little underwear jokes with the ever so dull Cena and Mickie James.
