WWE RAW 6/20/11: “Power To The People”

[Burke]

Monday’s “Power to the People” edition of Raw gave the WWE Universe the ability to choose what they wanted to see on their television screens. Unfortunately, technical difficulties created by an influx of heavy voting traffic resulted in not every one of the more-than 697,000 recorded votes to be properly counted.

As a part of this interactive event, WWE fans were given the option to text A, B or C to 46993 (GOWWE) in order to decide what they wanted to happen during Raw. Things went perfectly at first when text votes selected Kelly Kelly (option B) to take on Brie Bella for the Divas Championship. However, our vote tabulating provider’s system became overwhelmed, resulting in these votes to spill into later polls. This technical mishap soon led to Mason Ryan (also option B) being voted into a match against Evan Bourne — even though, as it was later discovered, Sin Cara had received 90 percent of the total votes in WWE.com's Live Chat poll, and should have been Bourne's opponent.

Stand by for more details to be reported by WWE.com throughout the day.

Did Sin Cara have the same letter as Eve? Probably why he wasn't getting any leftover diva votes also.

Sin Cara was option C... Eve was option A.

Just rewatched Evan Bourne vs Mason Ryan. I got second hand embarrassment when it showed Goliath's kayfabe breaking over excited face when he was voted in. It wasn't that bad of a match after they got the shakey start with them planning out what to do. I still don't like him either of them though, Goliath is nowhere near good enough to be having singles matches and Bourne is boring in comparison to Trent Barreta, Tyson Kidd and Primo.
