For all you wrestling fans: How long do you think McMahon is going to give away money on Raw and do you think it is already predetermined on who gets the money?
Would love to hear some responses!

No I don't think so.McMahon is a multi billionare.He don't have to cheat to give away 1 million.Look at the way it goes.He calls the number and people are reacting very realistic over the phone.Only the amount of money he is giving is pre-determined.

I think he'll do it 5 times, that will pump it up for people who already watch it but I think it will die down after that. Vince is very creative and if he has to give away one minutes worth of his salary I'm sure he doesn't mind the ratings boost. I also think this is a promo to the draft. I hope some better story lines come out of this draft. I find myself just watching it instead of cheering for it, my son who is 8 is really into it so I'll keep up with him as long as he wants to watch. I don't think its predetermined, the people who win are really excited to, you can't fake that one lady last night, she was about to have a coronary.

I don't know how long he will continue to give away his money. However, Mr. McMahon is known for being very generous. As for people being predetermined, I highly doubt that.

Well I read in a news report that if the rating dont go up this monday this will be the last time they do it. Which dosnt bother me because last mondays show was one of the worse shows ive seen in awhile. The whole million dollar mania thing they did wrong it should of been behind the curtins and they didnt need to show it to us. Thats what I would of perferred.

I have also read that McMahon was not happy with the ratings or his own performance. As for predetermined winners, I have to say yes. Not one of those people he called were excited or yelling when he called. They calmly answered his questions and gave him the password.
If you received that call during Raw, wouldn't you have been yelling? I know my entire house would have been screaming loud enough for them to hear it without the phone call.
It appears to be a gimmick to get the ratings up, but may fail as wrestling no longer has any of the "good" stuff it had in the old days. I know I have a tough time watching it, and I have been a fan for over 20 years.
