He says some of wCw's greatest moments occured in this great state. But wCw is gone and now Raw is the greatest brand in the wrestling world. Bisch says he could help but laugh at the attempted smack talk from Theodore R Long. He says the GM of Smackdown! is clueless. Bisch says that Bad Blood took in over 600,000 buys.

He says at one time this talent was bringing money into Smackdown! but has realised that Longs ship is sinking and that Raw si the place where you make REAL money. As a matter of fact Bisch can say that he has signed the face of Smackdown! diva's. Let Bischoff introduce to you a two time Playboy cover girl..... Torrie Wilson!
