The Return of Eric Bischoff
DEC. 13, 2004

After a month-long vacation, Eric Bischoff returns to RAW. But the show he’s coming back to is much different from the one he left. After four wild weeks under the reign of Team Orton, the Women’s Championship has changed hands and the World Heavyweight Championship has been vacated. Tonight, it will be up to Bischoff to determine what to do with the World Heavyweight Championship. The entire RAW roster -- especially Edge, Chris Benoit and Triple H -- will be anxiously awaiting his decision. What will the General Manager do? Tune in tonight (9/8 CT; Spike TV) to find out.

Also tonight, the long-standing rivalry between Randy Orton and Edge will reach its boiling point. When these two meet in the ring, all of their pent-up anger and hostility will be unleashed.

And Muhammad Hassan will appear on RAW. For some time now, he’s been voicing his no-holds-barred opinions and has promised that those who practice hypocrisy and prejudice will pay a steep price. Will he be able to back up his words tonight?

With the World Heavyweight Championship now vacated, anyone could conceivably become champion. Triple H has already attempted to make his case to the returning GM. Will his pleas fall on deaf ears? RAW viewers may well see the fall of the old champion, and the rise of a new one. Tune in to RAW Monday (9/8 CT on Spike TV) to see how it all goes down.


With that said whats your thoughts and predictions Regarding the belt?

For a brief moment there I thought the picture of Eric Bischoff was Christian.

my prediction: No champ till' NYR

lol yeah, it looks like his face. Should be a good Raw tonight though.

oh yeah, that's right. Hussan tonight. Should be really interesting.

One of two things will happen:

1) Elimination Chamber: HHH, Batista, Bentoit, Edge, Orton, Jericho. (At the PPV, not on Raw)

2) Tournament.

I'm hoping for number two. I loved the King of the Ring and thought it was a HORRIBLE idea to get rid of it. They could use the concept here. Qualifying matches on Raw and then the final rounds at the PPV.

Yeah and vince almost looks like JBL

Yeah, I don't mind those ideas (Elimination Chamber or tournament).

Rumour has it Foley's going to be on RAW. If he does show up, how great would it be if he did a clean job to Muhammad Hassan? Foley could talk about how he respects Muhammad, and knows what he says is true. Foley then offers his hand in friendship and respect to Muhammad, but he gets sucker punched by Khasrow Daivari and/or Muhammad Hassan who proceed to beat up Foley. This gets them over as non-race based heels. They can use the discriminaiton against them as an "excuse" if you will, which is a heelish thing to do. Hassan vs. Foley is on later that night, and Hassan beats him with his finishing move (which I head is quite impressive).

Or you can have Muhammad & Khasrow as faces, by accepting Foley's hand and having a clean face vs. face match.

Yeah, World title to be decided at the PPV. I would almost like to see it in a HIAC.

Oh, and they completely ignored new Tag champs. :lol:

who are the tag champs?

No way Alienoid, Hussan is going to be heel. And he's going to have squash matches the first few weeks like all up and comers.

Regal/Eugene :roll:

oh yeah :lol: god, those belts are ridiculous. I wish they would do something totally unexpected with Hussan and not make him a full blown heel.

Well, we shall see

MERCI :love:

As the newcomer, I predict Hussan's first match to be against Hurricane. Cause it always seems to be him to face new comers and job to them.

Nah, I think it'll be Richards.

You think Bischoff will come back as a heel or face?

He's a tweener really right now. I think the only way he'll get total face is if he sides with Eugene on something.

The Arab's are probably going to beat up Ivory for her comments the other day.

is it just me or do they seem to almost be trying to get Christian to go face? After the attack by Edge and then the super hero outfit.

I'd say that's a possibility.

Both good ideas.I wish War games was brought back sometime this year between two factions.

Bischoff :love:

Depending on the card for New Year's Resolution I may have to order two PPVs in January. Wallet will take a beating. I'd like to see another Elimination Chamber since I missed the one at Summerslam.

All depends though.I haven't seen a Rumble in 4 years so I'll definitely get that. Still kicking myself for not going to the one here in Boston in 03.

hopefully tonights Raw will be a good one.. i have to say Raw has been getting very good...

Foley's back tonight :eek:


Sweet shit, I hope Raw is good tonight


I've missed Bisch :(

Hello Splaya :wave:

Foley on RAW? I'll believe it when I see it.

Hello Nervous


Azriel you shut your mouth

I'd love to see it, don't get me wrong Splaya, but I don't want to go in with false hopes :lol:

HI, EVERYBODY! [/Dr. Nick]

Yeah, should be an interesting one tonight as it has been for the last couple weeks (which is good). Hussan will try to impress us all tonight, so let's see if he can accomplish it. And how about that Ivory, huh?? ..that dumb...

Oh, and yeah, I can imagine WWE wants Xtian to turn face.. he FINALLY has a shirt now! That should the biggest hint, even if heels have shirts but usually it's heels that are cool.

The Arabs are the good guys. You guys just are being prejudice and discriminating them because they are Arab.
:nono:

All they're trying to do is complete their lifelong dreams and wrestle!
You people won't let them be the good guys.

I feel like cutting a Paul Heyman-esque promo right now.
:-\

I'm so glad they shaved Bischof's head. He looks so good with it.

who wants to talk about chicken? :wink: gonmadd

:shifty:

Bisch :love:

Bishoff should claim himself champ lol

On a side note I was just playing the classic teenage mutant ninja turtles Arcade game...F'n awsome

What's funny is they are all standing next to each other lol.


HHH looked bored before he started talking

Benoit is soooooooo rabid. :drool:

I loved Edge talking while Benoit and HHH were talking

HHH shoulda just let them beat each other up...now there is going to be a triple threat match
