Here comes Eric Bischoff to the ring - all smiles. He gloats about last week - has the replay showed of him pinning Shane 3 times. He rags on Shane a bit - calls him the Frank Sinatra Jr. of the WWE. Here comes Good Old JR. He's pissed. He's not pressing charges against Kane, but is sueing the hell out of Bischoff for setting him up in an unsafe working condition. Eric tries to kiss ass - telling Coach to leave, so JR can reclaim his spot at the announce table. Here comes Stone Cold. He shakes JR's hand and welcomes him back. He has a contract in his hands - talks to JR in the corner of the ring. JR nods and Austin tells Bischoff that if he'll face a certain person tonite on RAW, JR won't sue. Eric thinks it's Shane, so he agrees and signs the contract. Austin tells Eric to read it first, but Eric signs and says bring on Shane. Austin says it's not Shane - it's Kane. Austin laughs and Bischoff looks ready to cry. That expression - priceless. JR and Stone Cold drink some beer as Bischoff slowly walks to the back.

A jackhammer on Flair by Goldberg and HBK grabs Orton's arm and uses it to hit the mat three times.
Winner: Goldberg
A good show - The return of JR; Rico is still funny and the Hurricane/Rosey stuff is decent too. What's up with the Lance Storm as Mini-Goldust? This was the best Goldberg match I think I've seen since he and DDP tore it up back in WCW. He was actually selling moves, and Flair carried him to a decent showing. I like the way that WWE is now setting up matches for the next week now as part of their routine. It makes the fan know what to expect and look forward to next week - and I think it helps build the ratings. This show was decent - next week - the return of Teddy Long, Jericho versus Nash - Hair versus Hair , and Test versus Steiner - winner gets Stacy... I'm actually looking forward to it..
I've been thinking on it and I'm expecting Stacy to turn on Steiner next week and go back with Test. They had a good thing going with the Testicles angle - and I like seeing Stacy and Test together.. Besides - I want to see an evil Stacy Keibler.. Good Stacy is OK, but evil Stacy is really hot.. Another good show brought to you by the WWE.
Later all....
-Doug
