Brian Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 The best thing about the Bischoff showing up on Raw was that NOBODY but Eric, Vince, and Steph knew. There was no spoiler or rumor in the internet or anything! It was one of the last great shockers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That, IMO, was the biggest MTFO moment ever in WWE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longshot7 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I've heard Cena/HBK for the Raw side at Mania with HBK winning the Rumble. Batista/Taker for the Smackdown side. Taker should win it - I don't think it would really hurt Big Dave to lose to Taker at WM. ECW main event is not set right now - they want a big guy (it was supposed to be Khali), maybe Monty Brown or Test, to face Lashley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I remember reading online about Paul Wight jumping over a month or so before it happened and it was being reported that he would interfere in that cage match between Austin and McMahon. The Radicalz jumping was so fast. One day they got their release and the next they were on Raw which we all knew what would happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

santo=dorf Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 I was there too, and the WWF f***ed it up. They showed it around right when RAW began, but on the big screen the numbers got cut off. It turns out they added an additional 30 minutes, so at 8 PM (the original ending time) during a Kane and X-Pac tag match, nothing happened and people were wondering what was going on.

Anderson Gotta clear up some cash to pay The Great Khali somewhere, I suppose.... Only decent people they cut were Snow as a wrestler, Mamaluke who can put on some damn good matches... And add to the list the head writer of SmackDown! SmackDown writer Andrew Goldstein, second in command to Michael Hayes, has been fired. Goldstein was informed of his termination by WWE Human Resources, instead of by someone like Stephanie McMahon. On SmackDown, unlike on RAW and ECW, Michael Hayes dictates what he wants on the show, and then Goldstein would take all of that and put it together in a format that can be televised. Apparently, Goldstein was very popular backstage, always worked very hard, and was always a professional. However, considering that Michael Hayes has more of an 'old-school' state of mind, he often clashed with Goldstein. Hayes eventually got him fired and pushed him out the door. Backstage, many people are surprised and upset about this. If the replacement for Goldstein isn't someone who can take Hayes' dictations and format, then you could be seeing a dip in the show quality of SmackDown!. But on the hiring side -- they supposedly hired Ace Steel and Cassidy Riley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Ace Steel was "Donald Trump" in the horrible Trump vs. Rosie "match" Great story about Ace Steel and Colt Cabana. At various points both have wrestled as jobbers for WWE, and they have eached used the others real name as their ring name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Bam Bam really had a tough go at it after WCW closed up shop. Its a shame to see such a larger than life character slide down the slope he has and end up dead. Unfortunately, it seems pretty rare that former wrestlers have a good quality of life after their careers end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 The end of Raw was awesome tonite, Shawn Michaels totally went off. Orton made a good save for Edge, it was predictable, but I thought it was very well done. I thought the Street fight was one of the better matches I have seen on Raw in a long time.
