DOOOOOH

Everton have missed a massive PR trick here. Massive.

 

[Tubey]

Oh and by the way, it'd be immense for the atmosphere as well - the dual arm pumping and singing it all game

 

[Duncan Disordely]

Aren't WWE over here soon? Would be amazing if Everton could organize Fandango and Barrett to come to a game

Barrett's a Preston fan, but prefers Everton's style of play.

This is the PR trick that's being missed.

As soon as Fandango retweeted that, the PR team at Everton should have been looking up WWE's contact details and had them on the blower.

But we don't have a PR team. We have idiots.

Not the first chance we've missed and won't be the last.

Baffoons.

Yep.

I mean, why get on board a social media phenomenon and worldwide entertainment brand eh?

Baffoons is an apt description. It's irritating too as they're so, so close to using social media correctly for this type of thing but they're terrified of putting a foot wrong.

Anyone here watch NXT?

Their women's division is awesome. They've got a English lass called Paige who's the next break out women's star. They've also got a woman called Summer Rae who does the whole OC Bitch gimmick and she's great too.

I think they should have a "Diva" clear out and just move the NXT women over.

 

[Joao Moutinho]

He should definitely have a feud with Everton, culminating in us sending Distin over for a fight.

If we even got a mention on RAW or they showed a couple of seconds clip of him in attendance, that's broadcast to millions of people. You can't miss out on the chance for that kind of free publicity. You could have them meet up with Howard or something as he's an American too, that sells itself

Annoying thing is, it really is that simple.

It's not just that - play the song at Goodison just before Z-Cars, have someone film it around the ground, upload it to YouTube, boom; worldwide phenomenon with zero effort.

It's child's play PR, especially with the retweet.

That's a bit like saying you can't engage with a character in a film because their fate has already been determined in the script. You need to take it with a pinch of salt, of course it's scripted but it's still entertaining for lots of people.

It's not the same IMO, because I know I'm watching a piece of fiction. Wrestling is fiction masquerading as fact. Let's just leave it at, I don't get it. I do appreciate that others do, and don't want to offend anyone.
