just who the hell do you think he was talking about? That, of course, would be me - I've personified ruthless aggression. In fact, when Vince was out here a couple weeks ago talking about ruthless aggression. I was the only person EVER able to take it right to Vince McMahon. You see, when I ran WCW, I became famous.īischoff: That's right. (Boos intensify) Not that watered-down version, by the way, that invaded this company. my name is Eric Bischoff, and I used to run WCW.
(Bischoff finally arrives in the ring, being greeted by an even mixture of cheers and boos.)īischoff: I just wanna tell each and every one of you how happy I am to be here with you!īischoff: For those of you who may not know me. The last thing we need is more air to be pumped into his already overinflated ego. Zbyszko: Don't say that too often around him, J.R. And why shouldn't he be? He's now in control of the premier program in sports entertainment. J.R.: Well, he certainly appears to be in a good mood. King: You better watch your mouth, Larry. Zbyszko: Yeah, and one of them is getting his ass handed to him by me at Starrcade '97! *laughs* J.R.: And here he comes, our new General Manager! Whether you love him or you hate him, there's no question that Eric Bischoff has done some great things in this industry. (Bischoff emerges from backstage and arrogantly makes his way towards the ring.) Lillian Garcia: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the General Manager of RAW, Eric Bischoff! (Camera pans to the ring, where Lillian Garcia is about to speak.) J.R.: In just a few moments, the draft will begin! Zbyszko: I don't have a problem with this whole GM thing, but why did our GM have to be Eric Bischoff?
J.R.: The other big announcement was that each brand, from here on out, would be controlled by a General Manager! In one of the most shocking appointments I've ever heard of, Eric Bischoff, who was formerly President of WCW, has been named General Manger of RAW, while "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes was placed at the helm over on SmackDown.
(Pictures of Eric Bischoff and Dusty Rhodes appear.) So we could get anyone! The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Triple H, The Undertaker.heck, this may be the last night we broadcast as a team! The most interesting thing about this draft lottery is that it will be totally random! Each draft pick will be a completely random pick from the roster. Zbyszko: Tonight will definitely be a historic episode of RAW. King: Ain't that the truth, J.R.! For those of you who don't know what the draft lottery is, starting tonight, every single superstar on the roster will have their contract bound to either RAW or SmackDown! Superstars will no longer be able to appear on both brands! This is the first time in WWE history that something like this has ever happened! I'm excited to see what will go down tonight!
McMahon announced the beginning of the brand expansion! WWE is expanding! Starting tonight with the first ever draft lottery! J.R.: My name is Jim Ross, and I'm joined by my broadcast colleagues, Jerry "The King" Lawler and "The Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko, and tonight will be, arguably, one of the most exciting editions of RAW in recent memory! Earlier today, Mr. Jim Ross: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Monday Night RAW! We are live from the Omni Coliseum in Atlanta, Georgia, just 24 hours removed from an epic WrestleMania! The RAW theme continues as bumper music.)
