WWE Programming is blind, deaf, and dumb....

So Monday night's Raw ended with King/General Manager William Regal demanding that the crew in the production truck cut off the transmission right in the midst of the main event title match between new champion Triple H and former champion Randy Orton. As a result, the screen went black before being abruptly cut off.

Then, last night on ECW, right before the main event, play by play commentator Mike Adamle mysteriously got up -- mid-sentence -- left the announce table, walked behind the barricade, and exited the arena. Moments later, a confused Tazz followed suit (but not before politely promoting the show's sponsor!), leaving viewers with a silent, muted main event.

Now, I just can't decide if ECW's conclusion goes into the category of "say no evil" as the announcers bailed, or "hear no evil" as the viewers were left with silence. Nevertheless, I can't wait to see what shenanigans will occur at the conclusion of Friday's Smackdown. I guess, what, shooting the boom mic operator will complete the trifecta?
