Enter Vince McMahon
Vince:
We at the WWE should aspire to inspire.
This hasn't always happened.
We haven't been consistent, we haven't been loyal to our wrestlers, and on occasion we have let down our fans.
Those days are over.
Gone.
Dead.
Buried.
A new day is dawning over the World Wrestling Entertainment horizon.
With this new dawn comes a new life, a new show, a new challenge.
No longer will we try to fob you off with inferior storylines, like Katy Vick's dead body.
No longer will the wrestlers get away with not watching the show, while other wrestlers talk about them on TV, or worse.
No longer will the Smackdown women be solely eye-candy.
No longer will Triple HHH be able to bury everbody that he feels threatened by.
No longer will we insult the intelligence of the fans.
No longer will wrestlers be pushed on how well they can suck cock..... Did I say that out loud?
Where was I....?
Anyway, the new day is dawning.
A new era in WWE has begun.
- ALL belts are up for grabs.
- Wrestling will be based on talent, with charisma and size being secondary considerations.
- No longer will there be bans on specific moves. Wrestlers will decide the boundaries for each match themselves, and as long as they are happy they are safe, then I am happy to let them be responsible enough to decide.
The Creative team will accept suggestions from fans and wrestlers alike. If you have any ideas, mail them to
ithinkiknowbetterthanvince@wwe.com
No more Soap Opera crap!
Watch the show for wrestling!
Entertainment will commence on RAW on Monday at 9pm
Smackdown will now be broadcast live on Thursdays.
If you have bought PPV's in the past, then you will receive them free for 5 years.
Any other comments or suggestions, then please send them to me.
My office door is always open if you want to pop in.
And please, call me Vincent.
So here's the card for tonights show.
