very true. Now the threat seems to have gone. They might bring a normal GM in wounder who it could be. I cart seen it happening maybe till after this storyline. Car't wait for raw

I'm sure the anon. GM is McMahon (due to the mainly heel decisions and such) so maybe that is how he 'regains control' of some sort.

Would seem fitting but then again Vince is using this storyline to take a break so its not currently possible.

I would be a bit annoyed if the GM were Stephanie or any of the McMahon family considering its supposed to be a mystery GM.

In the end they have to have some sort of reveal but its still unknown whether they have actually found someone to reveal it as. We all know the GM is noone and just a stall put in place for a while. They cant just expect us to forget about it though.

I doubt it will be Vince.
The entire point of the Triple H storyline is he doesn't want to be the on screen focus anymore. It's a kayfabe representation of the real life situation where Hunter is taking over more and more of the responsibilities of running the show.

We might not ever get to find out who the anonymous GM is, there's no real need to do a big reveal as it won't really progress the story, unless the play it like they're keeping the same GM but he's going to stop being anonymous, but I can't see why they'd do that.

As posted earlier I've not been a regular viewer of WWE for sometime however I was shocked when I saw Vince the other night.

He looked thinner than I remembered. More worryingly he's got something on his neck that's covered up with make-up. Also his general colour is all wrong. I lost a colleague at work 2 years ago to skin cancer, and Vince McMahon is looking terribly similar to how my colleague looked when he was in mid treatment. My colleague used make-up to try and gain a natural colour but as they day progressed he'd start to get an orange tinge.

Has anyone heard any rumours or stories about Vince not being well at the moment?

Russ · 23-07-2011, 23:44

He's been told by his doctor to not take any more bumps, another reason for HHH to take over.

wwe · 24-07-2011, 00:35

you would had thought it be shane or steph that take over when vince retires

Russ · 24-07-2011, 00:42

Share left WWE a year or two ago so it wouldn't be him, and Steph is married to HHH so it makes clear sense that they'd take over.

adzii_nufc · 24-07-2011, 01:14

There is no man better to take over than the Son in-law that is himself a WWE superstar with years of experience in the business.

He left on year day 2011.

On the WWE Raw VS Smackdown 2011 game for the PS3 the Raw GM is Steph.

It's been that way for a while with the games.

Like suggested above it does seem to look like they are just going to let go of it.

Interest was high in the first few months with the clues and such but that stopped a long time ago and since then people just dont really care and would easily forget about it if they removed the Laptop tonight.

John Cena is due to film soon so it will be interesting to see how they play him off.

Also note John Cena is eligible for a Rematch for the WWE championship so expect something to give tonight.

Nothing major will happen with CM Punk tonight. Maybe HHH will call for him to come back, and a recap of what happened at comic con, but to play this story right they have to do it over the long haul. If it's too rushed it loses it's appeal.

One way they can do it is by invoking the old "the title must be defended every 30 days" clause, which would line up nicely for a summerslam return, where Cena can regain the title, with Del Rio then cashing in on Cena (a heel on heel cash in would be stupid, which is why it was obvious Del Rio wouldn't have stopped Punk leaving with the title, instant face turn on one of their biggest heels? No chance.) They don't like having 2 briefcases around for too long and we know Bryan's is meant to be staying around until Wrestlemania (although I fully expect him to lose the briefcase before then) so that will also give them chance to write Cena out for a while (I'd say he'll go out to a cross arm breaker, but they'd never do away with the "Cena never quits" angle).

In other news Hero and Claudio (The Kings of Wrestling tag team) have been wrote out of PWG, and rumour has it they're bypassing the WWE development territories and heading straight to the main roster. I'm hoping this means the WWE start taking the tag division seriously again, it's been lackluster for far too long.

Never mentioned Punk, Just said something will give, More likely Cena being involved in the WWE championship match but after hearing your comments about SummerSlam I have somewhat changed my views.

In the way they fired him after the Nexus car crash.

Not a cat's chance in hell. No way will they ever let Cena tap out. Nobody beats 'Superman' like that. Unless they eventually turn him heel (and I can't see that ever happen) he'll retire with the label of the 'only WWE champion to never tap out".

I'll only take that seriously if they bring back Haas and Benjamin.

Why they insisted on constant drafting them apart (when the belts were remotely respected) god knows.

Good RAW but what a joke they couldn't even let Rey have the title one night before Fruity Pebbles wins the (what seemed like a cheap replica) belt back for the billionth time.

Give someone a long run with a major belt for christ sake.
