Last night on RAW, just after he berated Jeff Hardy, Eric Bischoff began a conversation with Ric Flair. Here is part of the conversation:

EB: But more importantly, what about that Ex-Smackdown talent? How we going there.

RF: I'm working on it.

EB: Working on it isn't good enough. I need results.

RF: Then results you'll get. You want results. I'll deliver.

-------------

I can't think of anything of importance that would foreshadow things to come. What would be a likely culmination of Flair's work?

Whoever he's bringing in, it's obviously going to be the fourth Horseman to join himself, HHH and Jericho.

The only one that immediately sprung to mind was Bautista. A few weeks back on Smackdown, Stephanie was yelling at D'Von saying that Bautista had better not leave Smackdown. The angle was that Bautista was "under contract" to D'Von and not Smackdown. Since he left D'Von, I guess he could possibly be considered a "free agent" now. Maybe they'll do some sort of bidding war thing with him??

Weren't the rosters frozen last week, with Bischoff "stealing" Orton & Helms just before the deadline?

Bautista?! a Horseman? No way, I'll go out of my way and say Angle. Hell, you know, while Flair started his allegiance with Hunter, he probably had something going under the table at the time too. Thinking through these things can really wear out your brain, I know. I got a small migraine in the process last night.

Remember Sid, Paul Roma and Mongo are former Horsemen, so Bautista might actually be a step up.

Well, I'll go way out on a limb and say Flair's working on bringing Hulk Hogan to RAW. RAW needs as many main eventers as they can get, RAW is supposed to be where the "established stars" are while SmackDown! is meant to be the home of the "future superstars", and Hogan and Bischoff have a long on and off-screen history anyway. Maybe I'm wrong but if it does happen, you read it here first.

I was thinking the same thing. The only other "ex-Smackdown" star I can think of would be The Rock, and I don't see that happening anytime soon. But why would a heel Flair bring in Red & Yellow Hogan?

Well, just a couple of days ago, Hogan went on the radio and said he did not have a contract and would not be coming back as far as he knew.

Remember what happened last time he said that ... he was back within weeks.

And why not bring him back as a heel since his face run is pretty much over.

Hogan, no way. I don't see him as a Horseman at all, he carries a feather boa, and Horsemen don't carry feather boas!

Flair said nothing about Horsemen. WWE hardly ever mentions the horsemen. Whoever this is will have nothing to do with horsemen.

And there is a freeze on contracts. So the person can't be on Smackdown right now. Well, they could, but it wouldn't make any sense storyline wise. And if they were on Smackdown now, they wouldn't be ex-Smackdown talent anyway. Bautista was never under contract to Smackdown either. He worked for D-von. So, really, he isn't ex-Smackdown, he is ex-D-von.

I don't know who it is.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say they swerve us by bringing back Flash Funk.

Oh, I'm not saying Flair's doing 4HM2K2 or anything. I'm not actually sure why Flair would bring Hogan in, to be honest. I just have a hunch--especially since Hogan and WWE have his biography coming out that they'll need to promote. As for why, storyline-wise...anyone remember Vengeance when Hogan and Flair were chatting with Jeff Hardy backstage? I know it degenerated into them taking cheap shots verbally at each other but it started with them talking as if they respected or maybe even liked each other. Maybe Hogan gets upset that Stephanie did nothing to punish/sanction Lesnar for brutalizing him in August. Maybe they reveal on-air that Hogan's contract has expired and he is now a free agent. Then have Bischoff/Stephanie fight over him (not saying he's worth fighting over anymore but just trying to flesh out a scenario) and he eventually chooses Bischoff, remembering all the great times he had with him in WCW. If it is to become a Fourth Horseman instead, it'd be a pretty good lineup--Former leader of DX, former leader of the nWo, eternal leader of the Four Horseman, and eternal leader of Fozzy/King Of The World. Except that they seem to be killing off the IC belt, they could even try for the old "Four Horsemen, Four Belts" strategy. HHH World Champ, Jericho IC Champ, Hogan/Flair Tag Team Champs. Bring in Arn as the manager and it'd be complete. And just to complete my ludicrous fantasizing...On SD! they resurrect the long-dead Apocalypse angle with Benoit, Guerrero, Angle, and Edge. I don't know who their manager could be, though. Heyman? Michael Hayes? Anyway, I know I'd love to see the two teams square off at Survivor Series in a War Games match at MSG. I know I'm dreaming but hey, isn't it fun to dream?

I had 2 immediate thoughts. Hogan, as already discussed.

The other thing that occurred to me was the Tough Enough trainers. They were all on Smackdown side before heading off for TE3. I seem to remember one brief mention somewhere that they don't have either Raw or Smackdown contracts. (They certainly weren't "with" either show when the contracts were frozen.) In previous Ross Reports there were mentions of 1) TE being about done shooting. (2-3 weeks ago? Is there a Ross Report archive someplace?); 2) Ivory being around, but doing some promotional touring; 3) Al taking some time off before returning; 4) no specific mention of DeMott at all.

Just a thought.

Hopefully it's Bautista.

I don't know about Hogan, though. The fans will pop for him no matter what.

Just to add one note to my delusional fantasy above, the manager of the Apocalypse could be Shane Mc Mahon.

I *immediately* thought Hogan when they brought that up, and my suspicions only got tipped off even more when Jericho started mocking the classic Hogan pose during the IC title match (why, why, WHY can't Jericho ever win? Oh yeah, Teo hates him, almost forgot).

It fits in with the storyline since Brock almost killed Hogan right before Summerslam, and it would make sense because of the history Hogan has with Bischoff. Hogan'll be back - one last five-month run before Vince jobs to him in Seattle and he heads off into the sunset.

Some more stuff: Benoit being on the show certainly helped, but I think that starting the tag title match at around 9:45 hurt it, because the big things that happen on RAW happen at the beginning, middle, and end of the show... 9:
