"MAJOR news from RAW... (Spoiler)"

Changes are a-coming again at the WWE. First of, the format has been changed - there will now be two general managers, one for Raw, one for Smackdown.

The G.M for Raw is...Eric Bischoff!

Yep, the old WCW stalwart, looks like Vince will go to anyone to solve this problem, eh? Shane McMahon was also back on TV, and despite Flair making it seem like it would be Shane, Bichoff was introduced and promptly announced Triple H would be coming to Raw.

One more thing...the nWo has been disbanded! I gotta admit, I'm personally disppointed, but its gone. X-Pac has taken a 'leave of absence', Big Show is being pushed for a match with The Book at Vengeance, and Shawn Michaels is currently in limbo.

As for Smackdown's G.M., speculation mounts over who it will be...Mick Foley has been mentioned (that would be cool), but I don't think he wants to return to wrestling, so has Shane McMahon, but it looks like it will be...Stephanie McMahon. Although that would be a way of explaining HHH's move to RAW, I thought the WWE wanted more viewers, not less?

Pretty big stuff, huh?

Exactly. It IS an angle. The truth is Jim Ross is still cratively in charge of Raw and Heyman is cratively in charge of smackdown. Have to say Heyman is doing the job ten times better than Ross. Anyone think JR has thrown an 'I want HHH' mardy backstage?

It looks like I'll be using the mute button a lot on Smackdown then...

I really hope Shane comes back on to our screens in the long run as he is great.

Yes as long as shes on screen and not hidden away in the background of things. ::drool::

Mmmmmmmmmmmm, Stephanie ::drool::

cool stephanie back would be interesting.

Things could get worse if Steph becomes Smackdown's G.M.

P.S. Do you think Vince, as owner, will take a back seat? Not likely...

the nwo have ruined the wwe wrestlings gonna suck

If you dumb all this down, the nWo were handled badly so disbanded them proves that. Also, Bischoff as 'general manager' is just another commissioner angle.

This is a really shocker, its a good idea to get someone like Bischoff to run RAW and try and get the rating up, but taking two of the top superstars from Smackdown is not the way to do things. I would be good to see people like Scott Steiner but Goldberg, I wasn't happy with him in WCW most of his matches lasted about 2 minutes (if that). This is the question I would like to know. Is this going to the WWE to new heights or will this end the WWE?

No no no, could be excellent.
