So, I'm looking (unsuccesfully) for a quick&dirty RAW/Smackdown roster for something else, and while I'm tooling around wwfsuperstars.com, I notice they've added a new site - Click Here - which I was kinda hoping would have updated Jakked/Metal listings, but turns to be mostly a funnel back to the RAW/Smackdown/Excess/Heat site - except the links to Jakked and Metal and Attitude (a WWF Show for very small markets - I'd assume mostly Smackdown highlights now) lead to yet another new site, Click Here.
The point of that site seems to convince station people who have Jakked/Metal already to push it harder and get the ratings up (I guess the WWF doing good stuff with the show is too much to ask, har har) and most of it's "how you can get cheap ShopZone stuff and free tickets - but please push our shows" type stuff. I did manage to steal a Jakked logo and may use it without their permission in the future - I'm living on the edge. (HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAN. I don't know why I connected the last two things.)
And then there's the affilate rewards page:

So, if a couple months from now you hear "RAW is brought to you by WCIU in Chicago!" you know what drugs they're on.
What would you BUY with a $1000 of ShopZone cash anyway? Lots of giveaways, I guess.

Honestly, in most areas it's on at an awkward time (late or early Saturday or Sunday morning) and people just AREN'T going to go out of their way to see Funaki v. Val Venis, unless they're a Funaki mark or they're a completeist.
But honestly, if you have a low rated, syndicated show, you aren't going to start throwing main eventers at it in the hopes that ratings stick. This is the show for people who never get to be on RAW, and it should be.
Thus, it's up to local affiliates (and yes-the WWF) to get people to watch the show and get into the people that show up there. Unfortunately, there's a REASON most of those guys are on Jakked and not RAW. So it's a lose/lose situation really...
i just think it's funny that everytime they come to DC and tape the jacked/metal matches before RAW, that we in the MCI center are the only ones in the DC area seeing the jacked/metal matches because jacked/metal isn't shown in the DC area.
Okay unless Cubs posted the link on top and I'm not seeing it, where can I find Jakked listings? I know they show it here, I've caught it once and later the same day in Spanish.

While the world slowly ends around us because Matt's a little later than normal with his fake recap, why not kill some time by taking a crack at this week's logo? This is probably totally obvious and I'm fooling no one, but we shall see...
