"Word is that WWE is asking just about every performer who has ever appeared on RAW to make a special appearance on the upcoming RAW 10th Anniversary show that will air in January. It will be very interesting to see who exactly shows up."
Depending on how literal the word "every" is, "interesting" may be the understatement of a lifetime...
And, if nothing else, we'll get to see Heenan again, I'm sure.
People we don't want to see brought back for the 10th anniversary: Mongo Barnett Luger you local Amway salesman Tatanka Bossman Men on a Mission PG-13 The Truth Commission The Oddities Kronik Los Boricuas DOA Debra The Creature and Its Fiance Hall/Nash Marc/Rena Mero Dr. Death and Ed Ferrera Huckster/Nacho Man/Scheme Gene/Billionaire Ted
Brief list, sure many more can be added, but I think most will agree with many of the names on this list.
I want you to know, I agree with everything I've just said.
Due to overwhelming "influence" on the Raw creative team, the 10th anniversary episode of Raw will feature these great moments in Raw history:
-First Hunter Hearst-Helmesly vignette -Helmesly's Raw debut -Triple H's I-C Title win over Marc Mero, October 1996 -Triple H's King Of The Ring '97 coronation speech -Triple H forming Degeneration X with Shawn Michaels -Triple H bringing back X-Pac and the two of them bringing the New Age Outlaws into the fold in the main event cage match against Cactus Jack and Terry Funk -Triple H and DX's WCW invasion -DX's parodies of the Nation and the Corporation -Triple H vs. Kane cage match, early 1999 -Triple H's first WWF Title win over Mick Foley -Triple H disrupting the Test/Stephanie wedding -Triple H vs. TAKA Michinoku, spring 2000 -Triple H vs. Chris Jericho, spring 2000 -HHH-Jericho II, summer 2000 -Triple H double-crossing Austin, autumn 2000 -Triple H & Austin vs. Benoit & Jericho -Triple H's return on Raw, January 2002 -Triple H and Stephanie's wedding vow renewal that wasn't -Full-length montage of the wacky misadventures of Jericho, Stephanie, and Lucy The Dog -Shawn and HHH reforming DX and HHH turning on Shawn
I wonder if TNN will try to "persuade" Mick Foley to show up for the program, since he is the unofficial voice of TNN. Hey, the necro angle is over, so maybe Foley will be fine with showing up for one night.
And Austin should show up as well. In fact, he should show up and make the big swerve as he announces on that night that he is coming back...to the Smackdown brand.
Bret is a possibility, especially since Vince tried to "show good faith" to Hart by using the Bret-Taker finish at Summerslam 97 last night for HHH-RVD.
Others to watch for include Savio Vega, Damian Demento, Koko B. Ware and of course William Shatner.

No, for the 10th anniversary show Vince will sign Jesus to show up on the show. HHH challenges him to a match, at which point Jesus cuts a heel promo and challenges HHH to a match. Jesus crucifies HHH, which HHH no sells and beats him in two minutes to become unifty his credentials with the World Heavyweight Championship.
Tongue firmly in cheek....but I wouldn't put it past HHH to try.

I sure wish I could read your posts, but I've quit trying. I'm sure they're quite enjoyable but I don't have the energy to highlight your invisible text.
EDIT: Wow, the army green text changes to white when I quote it. Maybe I should just quote all of your posts as a public service so the other Wieners could read them. Or not.

I'd doubt Trip would let someone who has connections to Los Boricuas even get token offense in.

Thanks Parts...the army green was showing up fine for me?? Is the black any more visible? Let me know.
And that's PACKER green to you!
Just to stay contiguous with the thread...I'd also like to involve Lanny Poffo in the above scene.
edit: Dammit now that shows up white. Is the white O.K. for everyone?

The only problem is Lanny would have to have his skull crushed in order to appear. Remember, he was the Genius Lanny Poffo, the World's Smartest Man. That could be seen as an insult to the intelligence of the Cerebral Assassin, the smartest man in the business. Thus, Lanny would need to be destroyed.
I want you to know, I agree with everything I've just said.
For people so sick of HHH, there sure is a lot of talk about him...
Here's who I need to see on Raw. To get maximum effect, remember them coming out to their old gimmicks.
Rob Bartlett Todd Pettengill (come on, he's horrid, but he was a big part of early RAW) Marty Jannetty Mr. Perfect Foley Savio Repo Man Crush The Barber Hogan 1-2-3 Kid and Razor Ramon Austin Bret Sid Ahmed Johnson Mr. Fuji James E. Cornette Bobby Heenan Sable
The last person on the list (and the most important for me) would be none other than: THE MACHO MAN RANDY SAVAGE
For those that say Bret Hart would never show up on Raw, just remember...
We never thought we'd see ERIC BISCHOFF on Raw.
In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Vince finally throws in the towel for the 10th anniversary and brings in Gayburg to try and pop one last cheap rating.
Bret and Gayburg on the same show again? Won't THAT be fun?
"Oh, but you're wrong, Bubba. Because you see...it IS the Triple H Show! Why don't you ask that pothead I just buried if you don't believe me?"
That reminds me of that bit in Foley's book about his match with Owen where he was hitting him with a bag full of popcorn, who sold it like he was being shot each time Wish I could have seen that.....
