Back on October 27, I wrote about the blatantly obvious carpet bombing of WWE P.R. prompted "friendly reminder" tweets that SmackDown was being moved to FS1, all comically sent within an hour or two of each other, all sharing similar verbiage and format.
WWE was At It Again today folks, this time nudging the mainstream media to spread the word of the big numbers Monday Night RAW pulled with the returns of Randy Orton and CM Punk. A sampling (all times EST):

Fall, who is now with something called "WrestlingNewsCO" (one of the outlets that participated in the October 27 debacle), is formerly of NBC Boston, so he must still be on the "mainstream media" text list.
Like the SmackDown "friendly reminder" on October 27, these tweets all contain similar bullet points/messaging, and are all comically published within 15 minutes of each other. It must be another wild coincidence!
