The magic of live TV

Last night on WWE Raw, Vince McMahon began his Million Dollar Mania giveaway,where every Monday night during the live broadcast he will randomly call people that registered on wwe.com and give them various amounts of cash totaling one million dollars.

The very first winner had one of those callback tones where instead of ringing, you hear music. And he had the best song ever!



This just may have been the first live televised RickRoll! Now, I would say it was staged, but WWE writers aren't that creative and Vince McMahon is not that good of an actor. Check out the awesome look of confusion on his face! And then? He HANGS UP on the guy! So then he tries to call the number again. And the song plays again while the commentators are yelling "PICK UP THE PHONE YOU IDIOT!" The guy finally answers and wins $200,000.00!

Which brings me to a rant about all of last night's winners. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU ASSHATS? Every single one of them sounded like they were on Prozac, all level and mellow.. Are you kidding me? They were like "Hello?" (like they don't know who's calling), and then when Vince told them they won thousands of dollars, they're like "wow...uh...thanks?" ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? Meanwhile, me and millions of other people are sitting there with our fingers crossed and with Rick Astley all cued up to go so it will play in the background when we answer, praying the phone will ring and we'll finally be able to pay for gas and food in the same week.

But I guess not being called is better than being called, winning $2.00 and then having to watch the next person win $200,000.00 (3:15):



At least they got to hear Jillian's beautiful voice.
