we see footage from Last nights backlash when Eric Bischoff beat Shane McMahon with the help of Stone Cold Steve Austin. The opening video rolls and we are live in Calgary.


Eric Bischoff's music hits and out comes the Gm of RAW.

Eric: Ladies and gentleman. Last night you witnessed the most shocking event in the history of the WWE. Last night I defeated Shane McMahon in a lumberjack match. So what that means is I know own Smackdown. But there is one question I have been asked ever since i beat Shane. And that question is "Eric what will you do with Smackdown?" Well I have decided that I will not throw Smackdown in the toilet. instead I have decided That I am going to keep Smackdown around. And I am going to name a new GM of Smackdown right now. And not only will he be the new GM but he will also be the sole owner of Smackdown. So ladies and gentleman allow me to introduce to you the new General Manager of Smackdown. Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Stone Cold comes to the ring to a crowd full of boos and "you sold out chants"...Austin gets in the ring and gets a mic.

Austin: If I could have your attention for a moment. Last night I made a huge decision. I decided to join the Bischoff Alliance and I now once again am the GM of Smackdown. Vince McMahon i have told you time and time again that you cannot get rid of old Stone Cold. It aint gonna happen. And bottom line is Vince. Stone Cold is back. And he's back for good. And there aint a damn thign you can do about it. And tonight Eric I give you my services for whatever you need.

Eric:Stone Cold as a matter of fact there is something you can do. As of right now you are officially the new sheriff on RAW for One Night Only. So Stone Cold you may whipe whoever's ass you want but for one night only. And Stone Cold later tonight we will offcially sign the contract for you to be the sole owner of Smackdown. Also I said I had a huge announcement concerning the June PPV Judgement Day. ya see back in the WCW days we had a PPV called Fall Brawl, War Games.. Well I have decides to replace Judgement Day with WWE War Games. Two Rings....Double Cage... 2 Teams..One winner..it will be RAW vs Smackdown. 5 RAW guys and 5 Smackdown shows. we will see who the most Surperior Brand is. And I cant wait for RAW to kick ass....

Austin and Bischoff shake hands and walk to the back as the crowd boos.

JR:Well I'll be damned. i cannot believe what we have just seen. I never thought I would ever see Stone Cold Steve Austin and Eric Bischoff shake hands on RAW. What the hell else can happen here tonight. Also what about that huge announcement concerning hte june PPV. War Games. I cant wait for that. King what a night that will be.

King:JR do you know what this means. This means WCW is back in town. This place wont be the same after Fall Brawl. I dont like this JR one bit.

JR:Well King in any event tonight may be the beginning of a new era becaue tonight Stone Cold is back as the sheriff on RAW but I have a feeling this is not the Stone Cold we all love because Austin is now part of the Bischoff Alliance. This cant be good King.

After the match the Interview that JR did with David Flair that was taped earlier is aired.

JR asked David why he turned on his father again. David said he was tired of watching his father get his ass beat week after week. He says he knew that if he kicked his fathers ass he knew he would go away and then there would be no more Ric Flair.

JR then asked David why he changed his last name to Bischoff. David said he was tired of carrying the Flair name. He said all his life people have laughed at him because his dad was so old and was still wrestling. Or trying to wrestle. He said that all his life his dad never did any favors for him and all his life all he wanted was his fathers love but all he got was letters from the road promising that when he got home they would play catch or go to a movie or a baseball game. But when he got home all he did was pack and go back out on the road. And I thought I would give him a taste of his own medicine.

JR asked him what he is going to do when his fahter returns next week. David acted as if he didnt know his father was returning. David says that when his father does come back he is going to do the same thing he did 3 weeks ago. He is going to look his dad in the face and spit right in his face. Then heis going to beat the hell out of him. David says that next week IF his father does show up he will beat the hell out of him so bad that his father wont be able to walk. He then says he was ashamed to be a Flair. The camera fades out on David's face.

Good show. I saw the Austin thing coming but it was entertaining. If you had had Austin not stun Bischoff, then I would have been dissappointed. Like Jericho as the new World Champ and the David Flair interview was great. Good show.

yea i wanted to give Jericho the belt and i thought it would surprise people that the title would change hands on RAW. and also the David Flair fued is going to escelate. Also I cant keep Austin off my shows he's my favorite so he will still be around on my shows. I could have drug it out over the course of a few weeks but i decided not to. Thanks for the feedback.

Hits-
1: Jericho winning the title. Totally unexpected and a good move. Hey Im a Jerichoholic. :)

2: David Flair interview. IMO the best writing I have seen from you. Great feeling and I am really digging this feud.

3: Kane/Taker. Interesting, I liked it.

Misses-
1: Austin. At the start it was good but after that many Austin segments I just didnt want to see anymore. Plus I think you could have had a better finish if Austin stayed heel.

2: Haas? Angles plan? What plan? He came to Raw but it just seemed, lacking. Cant compare it to the Flair segment. And what was with Benjamin attacking?

3: Austin beating up Hurri. Just didnt get it. Makes Hurricane look bad.

4: Once again alot of other talent didnt get on the show. I wouldnt mind so much but the Austin thing just killed me.

5: Dudleys Tag Team champions. Unless they are heels it just isnt worth it.

Overall:
Compared to last weeks show this week just didnt have anything of that caliber. The Jericho title win and the Flair interview were the two outstanding parts of the show. The rest of the show I just found kind of lacking. By no means your best but no means horrible either.

6.5/10

04-20-2004, 08:08 PM
well you guys are gonna have to tell me what you wanna see then becaue I am putting what i think is a good effort inot these shows and all i am getting are you could have done more. Just gimme an idea of what you want then. And as far as the talent not on the show. There will probably be a lot more times when there wont be a lot of talent on the show becaue the more talent you put on the show the longer it has to be and the longer it is the more reading there is and the more reading there is the more bored peopel get and then they stop reading your stuff. thats why i dont put 6 or 7 matches on one show.

Peoples King
04-20-2004, 08:17 PM
I wasnt talking about matches. Talent should also get little backstage segments etc. I ahev given you an idea of what was wrong. The whole point of me analysing your show is so you can see what your weak points were. I said that the Austin parts were weak and infact boring as was the Haas confusion. I am not bad mouthing you, Im giving you advice and my opinion.

Cena316
04-20-2004, 08:22 PM
well i never said you were bad mouthing me and yes i want you to analyze it. the Haas and angle thing started on Smackdown a few weeks back and then Angle helped Haas beat Shelton at Backlash. Now Haas is on RAW.

And as for the Austin thing my point was to get over him being an ******* to everybody ie:Hurricane getting beat down by Austin. I will take your advise and see if i can find a creative way to get more talent on the show. thanks for the feedback..

Peoples King
04-20-2004, 08:25 PM
A great way to get talent on is the tag titles. Create tag teams is always a good way for you to give a little more people a shot.

Cena316
04-20-2004, 08:27 PM
well for right now the dudleyz are my tag team champs and they are faces right now....I have a few rookies on my show. Paul London, and John whats his face..and I have a few more from OVW that I am gonna unveil on RAW and Smackdown....

Peoples King
04-20-2004, 08:35 PM
OVW is always a good place to bring guys in from. I forgot to mention that I am really liking the Hardy/Bischoff Alliance feud.

Cena316
04-20-2004, 08:42 PM
Well Hardy will be recieving a huge push as you can already tell..

04-22-2004, 07:53 PM
Yea, I like the whole Version 2.0 thing you created. I guess you could call it an upgrade. :D
