Although I think it was clear to most people that Donald Trump “buying” Raw from Vince McMahon was a storyline designed to raise viewer interest in WWE’s product, apparently Wall Street is full of rubes who needed that spelled out for them after the twist ending of the three-hour Raw broadcast of a couple weeks ago. Of course, the WWE did confuse things by issuing that phony press release regarding the sale of Raw to Mr. Trump, but hey, it’s the June curse.

June was when WWE ill-advisedly tried to sell as “real” storylines in which Vince McMahon was killed (twice) as well as other storyline twists that ended up being bad, bad ideas. Still, the Trump thing seemed a bit more obvious so maybe some Wall Street rubes were just bored. But, hey, that’s the WWE treadmill for you; while the details change, there is a season for everything, including storylines that require retraction and clarification.

Welcome to June.
