NEWS -- Bischoff at RAW, Full Statement from Angle
WWE.com is reporting that former general manager Eric Bischoff is backstage at RAW and will "hopefully" appear on the show. Advertisements airing on Spike TV are telling viewers not to miss the first 10 minutes of the show.
Bischoff was last seen as a regular character when he was "fired" by Vince McMahon as GM on December 5, 2005. He was mentioned and shown in the crowd at the most recent WWE Hall of Fame ceremony when Sherri Martel brought him up. He also recently signed a book deal for WWE to put out his story.
On the other major wrestling story, TNA President Dixie Carter released the full statement from Kurt Angle at TNAWrestling.com, saying Kurt himself wrote the words, not his agent. In the company's press release (see previous post), only a portion of the statement was used. This is Angle's statement in its entirity:
"Being with TNA feels like I have finally found my home. I had fun in WWE at certain times, but I was never really happy. Now being a part of TNA, I know I have a purpose. I feel like I am part of history, part of a company that is not only on the rise – not only going to be the number-one watched wrestling show in the world within a short period of time – but TNA gives me an opportunity to spread my wings. This company has no limits to where it can go. The sky is the limit and the main reason is because they brought the “real” back into wrestling and that is a perfect fit for the greatest wrestler in USA Olympic history. I have room to grow here and to help TNA grow. Working for these caring and very giving employers of TNA makes me feel like I have a purpose and that the sky is the limit. I don’t feel trapped or held back like I did the first six years in my tenure with the other company. They held me back. Now, our wonderful audience will see the real Kurt Angle doing what I love to do – real wrestling – and that’s what puts a smile on my face each time I come to work. I even smile when I think about it. TNA will be the most watched television show on cable television. It’s only a matter of time. Now, I get the opportunity and privilege of being a part of it. Thank you TNA for saving my career, my life and my desire to do what I love. I will be here in some capacity for the rest of my life. That’s real…that’s damn real."

And so it begins with them giving me reason to doubt.
During the Impact tapings tonight, they announced Kurt will be ringside enforcer for Sting/Jarrett. With TNA's history in using the most transparent booking possible this means what?
That's right boys and girls, Kurt swerves Sting and costs him the match and his career in TNA and joins forces with Jarrett.
Nope, I think you're wrong. Personally, I'm hoping for a 3 way with Joe, in which somehow Angle/Joe will get into something during the main event which will lead to their feud, which could be amazing.
