^The thing about that is that was how you're supposed to do feuds. You put them in matches together that are non-title matches. I thought they had goneagainst each other in way more than 4 PPV's, but that was why their feud was good.

Shawn Michaels told WWE Magazine that he has considered asking Bret Hart to induct him into the WWE Hall of Fame. "I sometimes think, 'Will he ever make peace with me?'" Michaels said in the WWE Magazine interview.

"I'm not in denial about what happened in Montreal. I'm OK that I was that way, but that doesn't make it right. It's still wrong, but it is what it is. There's nothing I can change about that, and I don't want to pretend it didn't happen. It's something that really bothered me. But in the end, I want to be inducted without all the fluff. I want the truth." [Thanks to Tin Tangent]

^^What a fool. Like there is a chance in hell Bret would come back to induct HBGay into the HOF

Hmm, the quote I put was wrong. Edge beat Cena at Summerslam 2006 and retained the title. He won in thetriple threat against Cena and RVD in July tho.

As expected, Vince McMahon was infuriated over the script for a recent edition of Raw (March 2, 2009) leaking online. One source believes John Carle, acreative team writer who was let go just before the script hit the net, is responsible for the sheets going online.

"No coincidence that it's published the same day [creative team member] John Carle is dropped and that apparently has gotten back to Stephanie andVince," the source said. "Apparently, they had creative sign some absurdly one-sided addendum in late 2007 where if you do something like this afterbeing terminated, they have all sorts of legal action against you. Given the timing and circumstances, he shouldn't be surprised to get a nice legal notice
from Stamford shortly. Vince is on a warpath and was mega hot over this so I'm thinking someone is going to be made a legal example of."

It should be noted that Carle was not the only member of the creative team fired three weeks ago as another individual was let go as well, although wedon't have his name. As a result, the source believes the person who leaked the script felt safe to leak it as it would be hard to pinpoint one guiltyparty.

For those wondering why more scripts haven't leaked online, it is because the performers doesn't actually get to handle them for the most part, as thescripts go to the producers of a segment, who then go over the script with the talent.

Another source added his take on the script: "So I took at look at the RAW script that was leaked. That is the real deal -- and from the looks of it wasan early draft (most likely PRE-Agent meeting). The show hasn't been timed yet (the time for the breaks are in but not the actual timing of the show). Theproducers are in, but not the writer assignments. This might have even been the draft that was brought on the plane for Vince to review before RAW. It'sfunny to look at the amount of crap that has been jammed into those scripts over the years. The live attendance box was added so they can know what the lasttwo dates at the building. The side boxes next to the matches are the announcer notes (that announcers hated and would make fun of). The 'not working'list allows them to see who they 'missed' on not putting on the show. As you can see, the amount of detail that goes into the promos that are writtenand why these talents have not grown at that art of promos. Though this is what demanded of the creative team to write for Vince. A script can not be turned inwithout that detail. It's become so rigid a process."

^^ Make sure to post that in the new thread, as it should be good dicsussion material.

Two matches announced for RAW tonight.

WWE has announced the following for tonight's edition of Raw:

* World Heavyweight Champion Edge vs. Big Show

* WWE Champion Triple H vs. Randy Orton & Ted DiBiase

[color= rgb(255, 0, 0)]...so what happened to the whole "we can't touch each other (pause) before Wrestlemania"deal between HHH and Randy Orton? Is this some kind of a joke? Why are Edge and Big Show/Orton and HHH facing each other? You can basically forget DiBiase,he's not going to do anything important tonight...I GUARANTEE you he's only there to get squashed, since Cody Rhodes got it last week. Then HHH says"2 down...1 to go"

. This booking is trash...

It's sad that Randy Orton won the Royal Rumble yet he's being relegated as the prey to HHH being the hunter.....isn't Orton supposed to be thechallenger here? You'd almost think that the WWE TITLE isn't on the line here...wow.

Stephanie is also supposed to return tonight. Whoop di do.
