Another management/talent meeting took place at Raw on Monday, with Vince McMahon and Jim Ross "speaking to the troops", according to Dave Scherer. They were basically told the same thing as the Smackdown staff from last Tuesday, i.e. times are tough, you need to step up, etc.
Wrestlers were reportedly told to look at the recent Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels match to see what their definition of a "good match" is, and were told to step up and seize opportunities. However, some wrestlers resented this, of course, since many of them receive absolutely no opportunities and it is difficult to step up when you are given no television time, while the Triple H/HBK match got 30 minutes.
In a funny and interesting note from the meeting, Vince McMahon told wrestlers that it shocks him when wrestlers have the nerve to turn their backs on their opponents during matches. Many wrestlers apparently found this funny, since one person who is probably the most guilty of this is Triple H.
The meetings are expected to be a weekly thing, as another was held at the Smackdown tapings on Tuesday. Nothing really noteworthy from the Smackdown meeting, though.
