Bubba works for ROH now so there's probably a contract thing stopping it.

Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (h/t Wrestling Inc's Marc Middleton) reported Bischoff was unlikely to serve as the creative leader for SmackDown's storylines. The presumption was that he instead would work closely with Fox as the network becomes the show's new home in October.

Bischoff addressed the situation on his podcast 83 Weeks (h/t Robert Gunier of Wrestling Inc):

"I've been reading a lot of the 'dirt' from a lot of the 'dirt sheets'/faux journalists out there that presumably are trying to convince people that they know what's really going on. So far, the reporting on all of my—everything that I've read has been wrong! I'm not going to address it specifically because No. 1 I don't want to give them or the crap that they bring any credibility. My start date was never supposed to be before July 22. I made that very clear and that was the understanding across the board but nonetheless, it was reported across the boards early on by dirt sheet scumbags not-to-be-named-here and it was reported wrong."

Looked at some pics

Austin looking old as hell in the face, but still looks like he'd knock someone's dick in the dirt if they touched his ATV.

I'm going to assume RVD 1. Didn't ask anyone in TNA if they were okay with him going on Raw (not like they could stop him anyway) 2. No one in WWE knew he was in TNA 3. He didn't mention it to them either

I swear they have the same group for every show/Axxess for 10 years

Some of them were still active when they started doing these reunion/anniversary/throw back shows.

My favorite part was seeing Sgt. Slaughter. The best angle of all time is when he supported Saddam Hussein in the first Iraq war, and they had a picture of him hanging out with Saddam and all.

You can really see how much Vince matured between Gulf Wars when 1991 had him turn a sergeant in the US Army heel and pal around with a dictator his country was going to war with and after 9/11 they had an out of kayfabe show and then it took 3 full years for an Arab heel character to be on the shows (of course he was Italian, and the gimmick originally started as a take that to racism and bigotry against Arabs after 9/11 in the US and by the end he had Al Caida trying to behead the Undertaker on TV)

He got permission to be there, but couldn't wrestle. Same deal as when WWE let Christian go to get a TNA award (HoF? Dunno) some years back I guess.

That'd be awesome tbh.

1. It's raise the stock of the show and everyone on it by magnitudes
2. All the bosses leave after SD so he'd have carte blanche to do whatever the fuck he wants
3. What he really wants to do is just go out and have good matches with young guys

Remember that the first time he came back from injury he requested to go to Smackdown only and build the IC title with mid card guys, this time around he hand picked Mustafa Ali to work with and would have likely dropped the title to him at WM had he not got injured and Kofimania took over. I know this mother fucker is itching to do a 40 minute match in a 1/4th full arena after 10PM with Drew Gulak.

Every time I watch 205 Live I'm glad I did, but I don't watch it very often. Last night's was good though.

Also iirc it's no longer "live" since they film it before Smackdown but it leads to much better crowd reactions to everything.
