A New GM

[Team Sheep]

A new boss
May 29, 2006


As first reported by WWE's mobile service, Mr. McMahon will announce a new RAW General Manager Monday night right at 9 p.m. ET.

Also this week on RAW, Triple H goes one on one with Kenny of the Spirit Squad. This comes just one week after The Game laid out the Spirit Squad on RAW after Kenny grabbed Triple H's sledgehammer right from his hands.

Last week on RAW, Paul Heyman introduced Mick Foley & Edge to their ECW One Night Stand opponents - Tommy Dreamer & Terry Funk. This week, Heyman and Foley will face off on RAW.

For all this and more, watch RAW Monday night at 9/8 CT on the USA network.

[Team Sheep]

Who will it be? :naughty:

[Lock Jaw]

i think it shuld be stone cold steve asuten because he wuld be fair and stun people with his stunner

[McLegend]

Watch it be Bischoff, and then it would made this whole entire thing pointless

[Blitz]

If it's Dusty, I'm firebombing Titan Towers.

[Innovator]

I have a bad feeling about this

[UmbrellaCorporation]

If it's Dusty, I'm firebombing Titan Towers.

And I could not have said it any better myself.

[Rob]

It's probably a McMahon.

[Blitz]

If it's Stephanie, I'm firebombing Titan Towers.

[Rob]

£1 million says it's JBL.

[Kane Knight]

If it's JBL, I'm firebom...

What mesa saying?

[Team Sheep]

£1 million says it's JBL.

Is that spoiling Smackdown? :rant:

[SammyG]

Wonder who it's gonna be.. Dusty most prolly.

[Goulet]

I Hope it's Ted DiBiase

[Rammsteinmad]

it'll be...






















...Kennedy!!!

Nah, probably Shane O'Mac or summit.

[Rob]

Is that spoiling Smackdown? :rant:

No. Smackdown finished here just now and aired in Canada last night.

Oh you mean in the States? When they give a fuck about spoilers for everyone else, I'll start caring.

And I just noticed you are from Wales. So if you were watching Smackdown, you'd have seen it anyway.

[Team Sheep]

No, Smackdown started at 11 tonight, so I haven't seen the second hour yet.

[Rob]

Shows I don't watch it. Sorry dude :lol:

[Kane Knight]

it'll be...






















...Kennedy!!!

Too much sense.

[Kane Knight]

No. Smackdown finished here just now and aired in Canada last night.

Oh you mean in the States? When they give a fuck about spoilers for everyone else, I'll start caring.

And I just noticed you are from Wales. So if you were watching Smackdown, you'd have seen it anyway.

Considering the rules on this forum, I wouldn't say they don't give a fuck about spoilers for the rest of the world.

[Corkscrewed]

I'm just shocked they remembered. No really, I was convinced they'd just drop the whole GM search.

JBL as GM would be pretty awesome tho.

[Kane Knight]

Except a few random retards who end up having their posts edited anyway.

[Rob]

Considering the rules on this forum, I wouldn't say they don't give a fuck about spoilers for the rest of the world.

Considering the rules of this forum, I couldn't care less :D

[Kane Knight]

Considering I can't stay mad at LEnny...:love:

[Xero]

*Vince comes out and gets in the ring...*

Vince: So I'm sure you've all heard the rumors. I'm naming a new RAW GM tonight. Let's not wait any longer! HEERRRREEE'S THE GM!

*The lights go out and spot lights are shining as a countdown appears on the tron. The fans pop.*

Vince: WHAT'S THIS!? 5!!! 4!!! 3!!! 2!!! 1!!!

*PYRO, Vince's music hits*

Vince: :rofl: Yup! It's ME!

[Mr. Nerfect]

Several names come to mind:

1. Shane McMahon, which will be complete shit. Just a shallow move to get ratings and then not change a thing about WWE programming. This will be used to fuel the DX storyline.

2. Eric Bischoff, which will be complete shit. Just a shallow move to get ratings and then not change a thing about WWE programming. This will be used to fuel the ECW storyline.

3. Jonathan Coachman, which might be half-decent. They want to bring him back as a new character, Coach looks pretty spiffy in a suit. He'd make a much better manager, though.

4. Vince McMahon, which will be complete shit. Just a shallow move to get rating and then not change a thing about WWE programming. This will be used to fuel the DX storyline.

5. Dusty Rhodes, because yes, the WWE is that stupid.

6. Melina, simply to get a hot chick as General Manager. Johnny Nitro can be her assistant, much like he was with Eric Bischoff. Could be interesting to say the least.

Neither really rocks the foundations of the WWE, though. Someone like Ted DiBiase would be fantastic.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Oh yes, and there's JBL, but I'd much rather see him as an active talent.

[Batsu]

It'll be CRAP if it isn't Jibble or Bischoff.

[crash99]

I'm not getting my hopes up for anybody thats going to rock the foundation of the WWE. It'll probably be a major dissapointment who ever it is, I just at the very least hope it's not someone to predictable, or keeps things on RAW exactly the same like Vince McMahon.

Ted Dibiase would be awesome, however, I'm not holding my breath waiting for that.

[The Naitch]

JBL

[mrslackalack]

I wouldnt be surprised if it was Dusty as his DVD is coming out a week from this Tuesday and they would use him as GM to promote it.

[Savio]

Considering the rules of this forum, I couldn't care less :DI bet you could
-----------
I think it might be Shane.

[Corporate Gr8 One]

Think outside the box for a second here.....How about a Corporate Mark Callous. Ultra Heel GM.

[St. Jimmy]

if it's Slaughter... i will DIE laughing.

[St. Jimmy]

JBL

That would be Genius.

[The Naitch]

The Rock should be GM, but it will never happen

[Cuzziebro]

SPOILERS (Highlight to Read)
JBL Quit Smackdown due to his loss against Mysterio..again. Therefore I Believe he will be the New GM of Raw.

[Fox]

One point of awesomeness: Stephanie McMahon is weeks from giving birth, so it won't be her. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!


JBL on RAW would be good, but really, that would totally fuck SD's already dwindling talent roster. Maybe this is just another part of the angle with Shawn Michaels and it will be a Spirit Squad member or "The Devil." I wouldn't put it past Vince to do something that stupid.

[Skippord]

If its JBL I'm firebombing Titan Towers

[Savio]

Nah JBL is cool guy.

[D Mac]

JBL is one of the best heels in the biz right now. If he goes to Raw will they send someone over to Smackdown to compensate?

[ddpBANG]

JBL is one of the best heels in the biz right now. If he goes to Raw will they send someone over to Smackdown to compensate?
Probably not.

I think the should send Johnny Swing...er Parisi.

[owenbrown]

Watch it be Bischoff, and then it would made this whole entire thing pointless

http://www.chrisjericho.com/images/NewGM.gif

[RVDmark]

Chris Fucking Jericho

:'( or not :'(

[Pegasus Crawford]

It'd be the markout of the millenium if Chris Jericho was announced as the new Raw GM.

I'd still markout if it were JBL, though.

So therefore, Eric Bischoff will return as Raw GM.

[Pinnacle Charisma]

I am a straight man but if it was CHRIS FUCKING JERICHO



I would have to up to my room and masterbate for like an hour I would be that excited.

Because you know its Chris Fucking Jericho

[Team Sheep]

Yeah I was thinking Jericho for a moment, but I doubt it.

[Morgan]

Am I the only one finding this announcement a little coincidental with OJ's release?


Oh, I am.

[Sadistic]

If it's not Jericho, I want Bischoff.

[Kane Knight]

JBL is one of the best heels in the biz right now. If he goes to Raw will they send someone over to Smackdown to compensate?

No.

[St. Jimmy]

JBL is one of the best heels in the biz right now. If he goes to Raw will they send someone over to Smackdown to compensate?

Orton is coming back, they'll be fine.

[Kane Knight]

http://www.chrisjericho.com/images/NewGM.gif

Oh, that Chris Jericho. ;)

[Kane Knight]

Orton is coming back, they'll be fine.

Yeah. Too bad Msyterio's in need of surgery, Benoit's out for a while, Batista's not quite returned, nor is Kennedy, Angle's future is Hella dodgy, Undertaker doesn't do regular appearances...

So our ME scene is gonna be what...Mark Henry and Randy Orton?

[Jaton]

Yeah, imagine what a good match that would be. Henry would injure Orton's shoulder doing an RKO. He'd probably injure him so bad, Orton's injury would travel back in time and take him out of action in 2003. >.>

[St. Jimmy]

Yeah. Too bad Msyterio's in need of surgery, Benoit's out for a while, Batista's not quite returned, nor is Kennedy, Angle's future is Hella dodgy, Undertaker doesn't do regular appearances...

So our ME scene is gonna be what...Mark Henry and Randy Orton?

Orton, Henry (=/), King Booker, Kennedy (he should be back ASAP.), Batista, Kahli (sigh), Finlay (yeah, i know), Taker (they could pull him back).

Possiblites:
Lashley, Matt Hardy (lool... right), Gunner Scott, Pirate Paul, Regal.

[Kane Knight]

Orton, Henry (=/), King Booker, Kennedy (he should be back ASAP.), Batista, Kahli (sigh), Finlay (yeah, i know), Taker (they could pull him back).

Possiblites:
Lashley, Matt Hardy (lool... right), Gunner Scott, Pirate Paul, Regal.

Booker will likely get a semi-main event push, but remain midcard. Kennedy's not going main event, not yet, and he isn't back yet. Orton isn't even back yet, and Batista's not back yet. Finlay isn't going to be a main eventer. Taker isn't going to work more than 2 times a month.

Lashley's gonna be midcard for a while at least. Pirate Paul and Regal have about the same chance as Hardy. Gunner? Nobody knows him yet.

[Rob]

I bet you could
-----------
I think it might be Shane.

Nah I really couldn't.

[Crippla]

From what I hear the top two possibilities are JBL and Dusty Rhodes. Lets hope its JBL.

[St. Jimmy]

As much as I hate to say it, I honestly think that it's neither JBL nor is it Dusty (thank god, that bullet would be too brittle to bite). In WWE logic the perfect GM is someone who's been off-screen for awhile with absolutely no logic as to why, besides the Kafaybe'd injury reason. I'm talking about:

Jonathan Coachman.

With J.R. back, he'd have some kind of Heelish vendetta against J.R. which makes sense as to why he'd want/get the job.... Sadly it has the most logic out of all the choices...

[Nervous Ferret]

smackDOWN is on Saturday at 8 for people in the New York market US :(
It gets preempted by Yankee home games on Friday night

[The MAC]

Fuck it, i say M.Bison walks out as the new GM.

[Skippord]

Its gonna be the Ultamite Wariah

[St. Jimmy]

lmao. Warrior would be great. Going around booking the Spirit Squad in retarded matches.

"QUEERING DOSN'T MAKE THE WORLD GO ROUND, KENNY! 20 ON 5 HANDICAPPED MATCH HELL IN A CELL HULK HOGAN ON A POLE INDIANS AND MAGICAL DWARVES IN PARTS UNKNOWNNNNNNNNNN *SNORRRTTTTTT* WARRRIORRRRRAHHHHHHHHHHH"

[shashank]

it will be Joey Styles

[JH]

lmao. Warrior would be great. Going around booking the Spirit Squad in retarded matches.

"QUEERING DOSN'T MAKE THE WORLD GO ROUND, KENNY! 20 ON 5 HANDICAPPED MATCH HELL IN A CELL HULK HOGAN ON A POLE INDIANS AND MAGICAL DWARVES IN PARTS UNKNOWNNNNNNNNNN *SNORRRTTTTTT* WARRRIORRRRRAHHHHHHHHHHH"


LMAO
REP TO YOU MY FRIEND

seriously though whoever it is it's just storyline so it does'nt matter
i kinda hope it's dusty cause i'll admit dusty was my favorite in NWA

[ClockShot]

I'm begging for Ted Dibiase, only because of that quick minute on Unlimited the day after Wrestlemania. But I think that it will be The Wrestling God, John Bradshaw Layfield. With Easy E a close second.

[Vermaat]

JBL is a good choice. He needs to get out of the ring because he can't wrestle. As long as he learns to get legit heat (not CHEAP heat now)

[Londoner]

If it's the most logical, then you have nothing to worry about.Surely you know by now WWE doesn't know the meaning of the word 'logic'?

[Londoner]

Though I have to say it would be fucking great if Jericho was the new GM.

[Kane Knight]

JBL is a good choice. He needs to get out of the ring because he can't wrestle. As long as he learns to get legit heat (not CHEAP heat now)

His heat is no cheaper than "The champ is HURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!"

[Kane Knight]

If it's the most logical, then you have nothing to worry about.Surely you know by now WWE doesn't know the meaning of the word 'logic'?

Logic is known to WWE. However, it is much like Voldemort in Harry Potter (He who must not be named), The Elder Gods and other horrors in "Lovecraft" (That which should not be), and Triple H (He who can not be jobbed).

[Hired Hitman]

JBL would be a good choice, he's rich, powerful and is an asshole.

He's perfect for the business world. :y:

[Skippord]

Nodq says that JBL is going to be doing a lawsuit angle to get back on smackdown so he is unlikely

[Hired Hitman]

Meh, then it's shane, which is still cool, but he will be vinces bitch :-\

[Kane Knight]

Nodq says that JBL is going to be doing a lawsuit angle to get back on smackdown so he is unlikely

I'm not seeing it on the normal channels.

[Skippord]

I'll go get it in a moment

[Mr. Nerfect]

Yeah, with Shawn Michaels' alledged injury, I don't think it will be JBL. They've had JBL do a promo where he talks about how SmackDown! needs him. I suspect we will eventually see JBL on RAW, but they're going to give him a few weeks of non-wrestling SmackDown! appearances. I can just see JBL sitting in the front row of SmackDown! pointing out all the "errors" they're making.

Apparently Eric Bischoff was backstage at RAW last week. It will probably be him. I still think Bischoff's place is as the heel manager to a stable. I know people always say "revived stables don't work!", but if they're bringing back DX, they may as well bring back the nWo.

Shane McMahon is the guy I'm leaning towards now. Or possibly Jonathan Coachman. Anyway, whoever it is has trouble with Triple H, and then brings in Eric Bischoff to destroy them. DX finds a little assistance in ECW, whilst Bischoff's crew finds a little assistance in The Spirit Squad. Stable wars would at least be more interesting than John Cena wasting our time each week.

[Destor]

My pick is Dusty Rhoads, his DVD is fixing to come out.

[Londoner]

Dusty? Great, that will be another reason to turn the channel over.

[James Steele]

I am glad my CHRIS FUCKING JERICHO thing got over so well. VIVA LA JERICHO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Corkscrewed]

that'd be the biggest markout moment in years if it was Jericho.

But more likely, it'll be JBL to feud with the ECWers, and then eventually HBK when he gets back.

[Kane Knight]

Yeah, Jericho would make no real sense, thought Jericho alligned against HBK/HHH=Who the fuck cares if it makes sense?

[NeanderCarl]

It should be.... the one... the only...

the legend in his own mind....

Macho Mouth, Randy Savage.


Oooooooooh, yeeeee-ah! Dig it?

[ddpBANG]

Nodq says that JBL is going to be doing a lawsuit angle to get back on smackdown so he is unlikely

Is a "freakin' broken back" anything like a "broken freakin' neck"?

[Nervous Ferret]

I think it should be Rick Rude :)

[D Mac]

BRET HART

[Mister Sinister]

Koko B Ware

[RVDmark]

The Rock as GM would rule, plus he wouldn't have to be an active wrestler and therefore he could film movies anytime other than monday nights. It's plausible but i'm not holding my breath.

[High Impact v.W.o]

Shane 'O' Mac, Steph, Heyman, Bischoff, Styles, or Candice seem to be the most likely names.

[Destor]

Dusty? Great, that will be another reason to turn the channel over.No shit. I love Dusty, but his mic work has went to shit. He used to be the greatest mic man of all time, now... not so much.

[Evolution]

Can anyone else see a Shane-becoming-GM-then-falling-out-with-Vince-because-of-the-Spirit-Squad-leading-to-another-McMahon-family-feud stroyline?

[Crippla]

Even though it is the WWE, Shane still seems too obvious a choice and I dont think its JBL right now because I think theyre gonna use that suing angle. From what I hear they dont plan on bringing Bischoff back as GM. I think it will either be Coach or Dusty Rhodes. Coach wouldnt be that bad of a choice for a heel and as much as youd hate it to be Dusty, Id like to see what Raw would be like with a face GM.

at least JBL could be the set up to get the title off of cena IF RVD loses

[jimmy012345]

i bet you its going the american dream dusty rhodes

[Innovator]

Coach

[The MAC]

what about ryu? would he be too fair? or ken?

I think Sagat with that wicked eye patch would be a great candidate.

imagine Trish stratus VS Chun Li


Seriously : out of 10

Jericho as Gm : 11

Biscoff as Gm : 5

Shane : 7

Stephanie : 1

Sheltons mama : 3

Coach : 4


a certain canadian who had a stroke: (for me ) 100

if its vince - it will be like it is right now.

fuck it..make vince russo the GM..I'll buy that for a dollar

[Skippord]

Tom Hanks FTW

[Skippord]

Wait what if its Lemmy from Motorhead

[Kane Knight]

Tom Hanks FTW

Nah, I'm busy Monday night, even though RAW is gonna be just up the road...


:shifty:

[James Steele]

Shane Douglas

[James Steele]

Everybody loves Shane Douglas so it would be a great role and he could be with all his buddies in the WWE.

[Rob]

I'm sure Hunter and Shawn pushed for him.

[KingofOldSchool]

I'm sure Hunter and Shawn pushed for him.

Wonder what they'd make him do?

[KingofOldSchool]

It's going to be Stephanie's unborn baby.

[the wwe champion]

*Vince comes out and gets in the ring...*

Vince: So I'm sure you've all heard the rumors. I'm naming a new RAW GM tonight. Let's not wait any longer! HEERRRREEE'S THE GM!

*The lights go out and spot lights are shining as a countdown appears on the tron. The fans pop.*

Vince: WHAT'S THIS!? 5!!! 4!!! 3!!! 2!!! 1!!!

*PYRO, Vince's music hits*

Vince: :rofl: Yup! It's ME!

:rofl:

[Xero]

It's going to be Stephanie's unborn baby.
Indeed, because the spawn of Satan doesn't want to work Tuesdays.

[KingofOldSchool]

In all reality, I see this JBL "lawsuit" as a way to make him GM of Raw. Vince could say that this potential lawsuit could be a PR nightmare for him so to make things right he would let JBL become GM of Raw.

[ClockShot]

what if it is hogan, we have'nt seen him in the wwe for awhile.

In the words of Shawn Michaels, "Unless he needs money, he ain't coming back."

Besides his show is doing well.........I guess.

[FourFifty]

My pick is Dusty Rhoads, his DVD is fixing to come out.

I'm gonna need to watch Raw with the captions on...

[Skippord]

The captions couldnt help you

[crash99]

I have a feeling whoever, it is going to be is going to be a huge disapointment, and someone predictable and unsurprising.

[Xero]

I don't know, it's about time they do something worthwhile.

Could you imagine if Jericho DID come out though? TPWW would crash as the entire board has a Jeri-Jasm.

They could get him away from "Y2J" too, with "GMJ" or "JGM" or "JM". :shifty:

[UmbrellaCorporation]

The RAWvinci Code.


I was thinking Saving Sergeant Slaughter, but the RAWvinci Code would create too much controversy to pass up. :D

[Steve The Pirate]

I am a straight man but if it was CHRIS FUCKING JERICHO



I would have to up to my room and masterbate for like an hour I would be that excited.

Because you know its Chris Fucking Jericho
Yer a Huge Fucking Faggot

[Kane Knight]

I'm gonna need to watch Raw with the captions on...

Captions don't even help when they're in ENGLISH.

[Kane Knight]

So did they not announce anything last night? What's Coach's position?

[Xero]

Vince's Suck It machine.

Or Assistant, whatever.

[Kane Knight]

Wasn't sure. Wasn't paying too much attention. Trying to figure out GURPS.

[Londoner]

Coach's position is 'Executive Assistant'..why the fuck he doesn't just call Coach the new GM i'll never know, Coach will be doing the same things as a GM would.

[Steve The Pirate]

Testing him out perhaps.

[V]

Wait what if its Lemmy from Motorhead
i have no idea why, but i couldn't stop laughing at this post for like 5 minutes

[Kane Knight]

i have no idea why, but i couldn't stop laughing at this post for like 5 minutes

IT's the image of Lemmy being less coherrent than the Amewwican dweam.
