Yeah... If the commentators can't be ed to pay attention during a match - what are they saying to the viewers? 'It's ok not to watch this'

I think your caring a bit to much about this. Let them do what they want, it doesn't stop me from watching a match.

And at least the cameras didn't cut to them and show them taking the selfies.

Vince is a Republican and he got an opportunity to mock Obama so he took it.

Just wait until you see Tyler Breeze. His whole gimmick is taking selfies. In the ring during matches, he uses the phone to beat people up and everything about him is selfies. I personally love it.

In McMahon's eyes, blacks are only supposed to dance and say "fo shizzle". But in reality, McMahon drools over black celebrities and athletes making appearances. The irony is that The Rock is Black/Samoan, and he's arguably the biggest star McMahon's ever had.

I must be crazy or drunk to speak what's on my mind about a particular subject.

It was incredible stupid, without question. I understand it was only a quick second, but garbage like that simply shouldn't be happening. If you want people to believe your product is entertaining and legitimate, the people calling it should be fully engrossed, not taking pictures of themselves. It's a great disservice to the talent, no matter how quick or innocent it is.

Did I miss something on Raw? Why exactly did they do that? I saw them take the pic, but I missed a couple of moments before that. Did they say why they were taking the pic?

Some of the responses on this thread make me think that wrestling isn't for me anymore.
Anyway, what J12 said is correct.
And it is a massive deal. It was incredibly disrespectful for one. But most importantly, it shows there is no level this company won't sink to in an attempt at appearing 'cool'. The entire show is basically about their social presence and the wrestling takes a back seat until there is a 'This is awesome!' chant.. at which point Cole reminds us that it is 'Monday Night RAW live tonight from _______' and encourages us, yet again, to join the conversation on Twitter.
The entire company is a farce now. It's ridiculously boring to watch. And there's a new generation on the IWC who seem to lap it up, simply because this roster (which is absolutely phenomenal) continues to deliver in pointless, poorly built matches.

when that happened I was like.....wait, what?
if it's supposed to have been mocking the whole Obama thing....fine. Vince has always been known to take shots at political stuff, and pop culture. However it really was a cringe-worthy moment, once again proving this company TRIES sooooooooooo desperately to be pop culture "cool" and "hip" when in fact they are turning themselves into the exact opposite.

I was really annoyed by JBL when Xavier Woods and R-Truth came on to do commentary last night and JBL starts doing his mock hip hop culture shpiel. You could tell Woods was sort of taken aback by it while R-Truth has gotten used to being a WWE puppet and ignoring the racist overtones.

He said Vince was a republican, not a racist.
