written by Loren Petisce

We here at Multi Media Mouth are saddened to report the passing of WWE Hall of Famer, “Mean” Gene Okerlund.

Okerlund is one of the most well known names in sports-entertainment history, having made his debut with the WWE in 1984. If you were a fan of WWF/E back in the 80’s and early 90’s, you saw Okerlund conduct hundreds of interviews, including some with the biggest stars like Hulk Hogan, Andre The Giant, The Undertaker, and The Ultimate Warrior, just to name a few.

“Mean Gene” was not just a stellar interviewer, he was also a host, commentator and even a singer, having performed the National Anthem at the very first Wrestlemania in 1985. Okerlund got his start as a sports-entertainment broadcaster with AWA, he also worked for WCW in the 90’s after his run with WWF/E.

“Mean” Gene Okerlund was 76 years old, he will be greatly missed by many.

Ratings For This Week’s WWE Programming: Did they rebound?

written by Ruben Jay

Short answer: Yes, they did. 

Long answer: Well, we still have to see. 

Monday Night RAW did 2.5 Million viewers. Smackdown Live! drew in 2.2 million viewers.

The reason we need to see what happens next is two fold. The first reason is that the ratings are reacting to the immediate return of the McMahons to both brands. In reality, this is an artificial rating. 

Second, we are headed into a holiday low point. There are no major changes that will happen on the next round of shows airing.

Vince McMahon Returns To WWE Monday Night Raw To Announce Nothing’s Really Changing

written by Ruben Jay

WWE has seen record low ratings the last month or so of television. On this last week’s edition of Monday Night Raw, Vince McMahon returned to TV and announced that he and his entire family have failed the WWE Universe and would be taking complete control of Raw. 

In the process of announcing the return of the McMahon’s to TV, nothing else was really announced as a change to the core problems with the main TV shows. 

New Talent Is Coming

One of the changes that they did announce was that there would be new NXT stars being called up to the main roster. Lars Sullivan has already been announced to be heading to the main roster. 

Basically, they announced that they weren’t going to wait until after WrestleMania to do their annual call ups. However, they didn’t actually announce when the new faces would be arriving. 

The Real Problem

The real problem with WWE Tv right now isn’t who is “running” the shows on TV. The problem is that there is too much nonsense on TV. If WWE wants to improve their rating, stop focusing on silliness and start focusing on sports like presentation.

WWE.com Announces Vince McMahon Is Returning To Monday Night Raw To Make A Major Announcement

written by Ruben Jay

WWE.com has announced that Vince McMahon will be on WWE Tv next week. Mainly, Monday Night Raw. 

One week after Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins placed the blame for Monday Night Raw’s recent declinesquarely on the shoulders of “General Manager-Elect” Baron Corbin, WWE Chairman and CEO Mr. McMahon will return to the red brand to shake things up, WWE.com can confirm.
The landmark appearance of The Chairman comes one night after WWE TLC, where Corbin intends to be named the permanent General Manager of Raw following a forfeit victory over the injured Braun Strowman in a Tables, Ladders & Chairs Match, per the stipulation handed down by Commissioner Stephanie McMahon. However, rumors abound that The Monster Among Men could make an appearance at this Sunday’s WWE TLC event and stop The Lone Wolf from assuming total control of Team Red.
With Mr. McMahon’s return imminent, however, Corbin could have a lot to answer for regardless of his position. How will The Chairman shake up Monday Night Raw, and who will benefit — or suffer — as a result?
Whatever Mr. McMahon has in store, you won’t want to miss it this Monday night on Raw, live at 8/7 C on USA Network.

After weeks of record low ratings, this is a blatant attempt to boost ratings. This announcement will most likely have to do with the RAW GM position.
