-Donald Trump
-WWE Hall of Famer “Superfly” Jimmy Snuka

Know it will be only probbably be a video of Bret talking but it will be the Hitmans first apperance on raw in nearly 10 years. Damm work. Ill have to tape it and avoid wwe.com all day tomorrow. Cena vs Edge is opening the show. Think it on an hour earlier than normal cause it a 3 hour event.
I don’t know who’ll represent ECW either though I watch it a bit. Heyman is never really seen onscreen at all. It could even be someone like Tazz even though he’s the commentator. I’m sure the draft procedure will become clear as we go along!
Edge defeats Cena via a count-out. They were fighting outside and Cena went to FU Edge onto the announce table. All the time the ref was counting and Edge raked Cena’s eyes and crawled back in before the count but Cena didn’t make it.
First blood to Smackdown. And they decided to draft The Great Khali. Edge had been goading Cena but the smirk was quickly wiped off his face when this beast appeared from back stage.
So I take it nobody stayed up to watch this feast of sport entertainment then?
The Great Khali, Torrie Wilson, Chris Masters and the legendary Ric Flair were all drafted to Smackdown. The Boogeyman and Chris Benoit make the trip from Smackdown to ECW while King Booker and Mr Kennedy come from Smackdown to Raw. Finally, Bobby Lashley and Snitsky have been drafted from ECW to Raw. It was completely and utterly off the hook. Lashley was stripped of his ECW World Title by the orders of Mr McMahon following the draft.
Vince then announced anybody left on the Raw roster who was a former World Champion would be eligible to take on John Cena for his title at Vengeance in 2 weeks time. This prompted Mick Foley who now works as a GM on Raw to come out of retirement and so it was announced that the Vengeance title match will be Cena vs Foley vs Lashley vs Booker vs Randy Orton! If thats not off the chain then I dont know what is.
Theres also going to be a supplementary draft on www.wwe.com on Wednesday to fill a few remaining spots. The show ended with Mr McMahon getting into his limo outside the arena and it exploded and went into a ball of flames with the President trapped inside. I havent seen any news reports on cnn.com or nbc.com as to whether he survived or not.
BUT WWW.WWE.COM ARE REPORTING THAT MR MCMAHON IS MISSING PRESUMED DEAD.
I was so pumped when it finished at 4.15am that I couldnt contemplate going asleep so I stayed up and am absolutely dying in work today. What an incredible night.
I didnt always agree with Mr Mahon. In fact I often hated the things he did. However, what I cant fault was his passion for his sport. He will most definitely be missed and wrestling will be all the poorer without him.
It a question of how they will explain Vince coming back. I saw that the coach directed him to the limo. Its very suspicious. Anyway I think all the people who didnt appreciate Vince will be questioned to see if it was them. It should make for some good stories.
It’s a well known fact that everything that happens in wrestling is real(except Ric Flair, he got replaced by a human/prune amalgamation). McMahon is dead and Ted Turner has taken his revenge
This is how it will go down. Stephaine Mcmahon will offer the Undertaker anything to resurrect Vince as we all know Taker has the power to do this. Then at say Summerslam a casket will be wheeled out to the ring and who shall pop out Vince. But because he was burned he will have to borrow one of Kanes old costumes. Then at a later date we shall find out that he was only burned psychological so he wont need the suit. Then we shall find out that it was Stephaine who rigged the limo to go on fire because her dad was never there for here as a kid.

BLOWN AWAY
Who Blew Up WWE Chairman Mr. McMahon?
STAMFORD, Conn., June 12, 2007 While some might say The Sopranos went out with a whimper, last night on USA Network, WWEs Monday Night RAW went out with a bang. At the end of his self-anointed Mr. McMahon Appreciation Night, WWE Chairman Mr. McMahon entered his limousine when it suddenly exploded. The shocking ending raised a myriad of questions: How could Mr. McMahon have survived the fiery explosion? And who couldve committed such a heinous act?
Although full details have not been disclosed, initial reports indicate that Mr. McMahon is presumed dead. An official investigation into Monday nights events is currently underway with no one being ruled out as a suspect. Throughout the night, people from Mr. McMahons past - from Donald Trump to Snoop Dogg to Bob Costas to Stone Cold Steve Austin - had less than flattering things to say about the WWE Chairman, but would any go so far as to actually blow him up? The question of whodunit, as well as the fate of Mr. McMahon, will be on everyones minds as the WWE saga continues on Monday Night RAW on USA (9 p.m. ET/8C).
McMahon family to release statement
