Commercial Break

We were back live after the shocking result of the double title match with Vince, Paul E. and T-Lo in the middle of the ring with the drum of the remaining superstars to be drafted!

Vince – "Well now, what a match we have just seen! And RAW can only get better with our main event coming up next! But first… the conclusion of the draft – and then I will clear the ring and make some more industry shaking announcements!"

"Behold the King…The King of Kings…"

Triple H's music bellowed from the speakers and he made his way down to the ring. Vince did not look happy.

Triple H – "Now, now, Vince. I know what you're thinking. We've… kinda had a few issues over the past few months where me and Shawn have been running around telling everyone you like cocks… covering you in crap… all sorts of stuff like that."

Vince – "I don't think you want to drudge that up tonight, Hunter… I'm in the mood for firing people tonight!"

Triple H – "Now hang on a minute there – I'm not finished! We've all seen a HELL of a lotta shocks tonight… title changes… draft picks… but the most shocking thing for me is Shawn moving to ECW – he seems to have embraced it… even though when we last spoke of that company he had almost as passionate a hatred for it as I have. He also seems to have moved on from D-X, and quite frankly, it's about time!"

Boos resounded around the arena at this.

Triple H – "No, really, hear me out! Come on we were going stale - in all honesty it was a matter of weeks before I Pedigreed his ass again! So we now get the chance to part on good terms… something that does NOT happen every day with The Game! More importantly though, I go back to focusing on my main goal once again – The Crown Jewel of this business.. whatever title stays on RAW – I WANT IT! And this starts tonight… Vince, I am offering you an apology in return for a shot at Edge next week!"

JR – "Oh great… the OLD Triple H is back."

King – "I know, it IS great!"

Vince – "Well that was a passionate speech Hunter – it was also a god damn load of crap!!! If you think for ONE second that a simple apology would suffice for all the crap you've put me through this summer… well, you're probably right! To be honest as I've already informed everyone I shall be taking a six month hiatus from the running of this company, and I want to leave my flagship show, RAW in more than capable hands…"

Triple H – "Well you know me, I am certainly MORE than capable of keeping this show afloat – for I am The Game, The King Of Kings and the next champion on RAW!"

Vince – "That's what I'm coming to, Hunter… you see, although I accept your apology, as for your title shot, it's out of my hands… you'll have to take it up with RAW's next General Manager… who shall be revealed very shortly."

Triple H – "In that case, I'm just gonna have to wait right here for him."

Triple H gets out of the ring and shoves the timekeeper out of his way. Taking his seat, he gestures to Vince to proceed.

Vince – "Very well, now if we can continue with the final picks of the draft, gentlemen?"

Paul E. – Excellent idea Vince. ECW's penultimate choice… and it's a rocket buster…. Jeff Hardy!!!!!!!!"

The Hardy Boyz are on ECW!

The fans explode and it only seems a matter of time before the roof in fact does come off the arena!

JR – "RAW has lot the Intercontinental Title… and the WWE Title in just two draft picks!"

King – "I know, JR and now Extremely Crappy Wrestling has one of the oldest titles in the history of wrestling on their show! It's not fair dammit!"

Vince – "Now that we've all settled down again… RAW's next pick – Bobby Lashley!"

Lashley moves to RAW!

JR – "Things are looking slightly better, King… we have gained more than we lost in this draft.. in my opinion!"

King – "But still JR, the WWE Title? Nothing compares with that!"

Teddy – "Smackdown's next choice – Johnny Nitro!"

Paul E. – "And ECW's final draft pick… Finlay!"

King – "Well I think that's the right place for Finlay… he does love to fight!"

Vince – "And RAW's next pick – Carlito!"

Carlito remains on RAW.

Triple H yawns in his seat.

Teddy – "Well there's only two choices for Smackdown here playa… and we get Chris Masters!"

Vince – "That means that Kane returns to RAW… and this concludes the dra.."

Triple H – "Well about frickin time Vince… now what I want to know is – who do I have to 'persuade' to give me a title shot seeing as you're unable to give me one?"

Vince – "I was about to get to that, Hunter… but first, I have an issue on Smackdown to address. Teddy – how long have you now been Smackdown GM?"

Teddy (looking slightly worried) – Well a little over a year now, Vince, but why does a playa wanna know that?"

Vince – "Well, Teddy the whole reason I came up with this ground breaking draft was to shake up the rosters and breathe some life back into all three brands… with you in charge of Smackdown, I thought the brand would revive itself but instead it has become staler and staler up until the point where I have to reshuffle not one, but all the brands in order to help out Smackdown – what have you got to say about that?"

Teddy – "Well.. I.."

Vince – "SHUT UP!!!!! As a result of this, I hold you personally responsible for the attempted assassination of the Smackdown brand, and you leave me no other choice…. YOU'RE FIRED!!!!!"

JR – "Oh My God! Vince has just fired Smackdown's General Manager, Teddy Long? What next?"

Vince – "Now get out of my ring, and my company! That brings me to my next announcement… Smackdown's NEW General Manager – a man who I have recently rehired to rejuvenate this stale brand – Eric Bischoff!!!!"

"I'm Back! And Badder than ever…"

Eric Bischoff's music hit and the former GM of RAW and of WCW made his way to the ring, a huge smile upon his face. He walked past a forlorn Teddy Long, and laughed in his face. When he got no reaction, he slapped him. The fans booed louder than maybe ever heard before at this act.

JR – "Vince has replaced Teddy with this jackass? This makes me worry for RAW…"

King – "I think Bischoff is the right choice for Smackdown – maybe they can now compete with RAW!"

Bischoff – "Thank you Vince, fans, one and all… it feels great to be back in the WWE! More importantly, as a General Manager I shall attempt to be as fair and just as I was on RAW before I was… ahem, fired. With me as Smackdown's brand new GM, I shall take the brand forward like no-one has done before, and just like my new book, my motto for the brand shall be 'Controversy Creates Cash'! And Vince, I guarantee that is EXACTLY what will happen."

Bischoff's music hit once again and he left the ring, still smiling.

Vince was smiling devilishly as we watched Eric exit through the curtain, and cut to a commercial break..

Coming up next… Two more MAJOR announcements – and Triple H's request.
