I thought that FOX was going for a more realistic feel to their product, but the 'backstage celebration' skits that we saw this week pretty much killed that. I wonder why they were even celebrating when they had picked these people and it wasn't random luck of the draw.
I know that wrestling is supposed to be corny and cheesy but these actors/executives celebrating every pick just ruined the whole draft. It was such a cringe-worthy moment to see them going hurrah after every single selection was made.

Would it have been better if there were two General Managers instead of Network Executives? Based on how cheesy these segments were, I would have to say so.
Especially if Paul Heyman and Eric Bischoff were the faces of both brands (although it would have ruined Heyman's advocate shtick).
Imagine repeating the same song and dance during RAW as well!
