Cryme Tyme Segment Panned, SSlam 2008 Buyrate Comes In Low

Although it sounded to me like there were some funny things being said, the general backstage feeling about the Cryme Tyme/Miz Morrison commentary battle last night was that it did not go over as well as planned. The two sides could noly be heard through the constant overlapping and shouting that was taking place, and in the end creative felt that the bickering stole too much from the Kelly Kelly vs Jillian match.

The buyrate for WWE’s 2008 SummerSlam pay-per-view is in and it’s probably not sitting well with Vince McMahon and other WWE officials. The show did 465,000 buys, which is about 270,000 in North America. That compares to 537,000 buys for the 2007 SummerSlam and 529,000 buys for the 2006 SummerSlam. 2008’s event featured John Cena vs. Batista and Edge vs. The Undertaker in Hell in a Cell, the 2007 show featured John Cena vs. Randy Orton and the return of Triple H vs. Booker T while the 2006 SummerSlam featured Edge vs. John Cena and DX vs. Vince and Shane McMahon.

Thanks for this

The Cryme Tyme/ Miz and Morrison segment was completly stupid. It honestly made me want to change the channel.

I thought ut was the funniest thing i ever heard, and of coarse it took away from the match it was the whole match. I was rolling on the floor laughing it was so funny.

thx for the info.
