[from WCW.com] [COLOR="Red"]WWE Monday Night RAW Aftermath[/COLOR] After what went down Monday night on RAW, it was obvious what WCW Representive Eric Bischoff had in mind for his new brand. Bischoff first asked Carlito, who would only agree if he took Torrie Wilson with him, and Bischoff agreed. The second person would turn out to be Eugene, who also accepted, scratching his head in confusion. The third would be Shelton Benjamin, who said that he would be glad to join WCW since his talent were not being used properly in the WWE. Number four would be Super Crazy. But the most surprising acquisition Bischoff would acquire on Monday would be none other than the Nature Boy, Ric Flair. He told Eric that although he and him had a lot of animosity twoards each other, he was humilated by what Rated RKO did to him last week and wanted to spend the rest of his career where he made himself a name out of- WCW. The question is, now who will Eric Bischoff take to WCW tommorow when he makes his five picks for the ECW brand? ECW and WCW had a very heated rivalry back in the day, and it will be very interesting as to what will go down tommorow night.

[from ECW.com] [COLOR="Orange"]ECW on Sci Fi Results[/COLOR] ECW started with Eric Bischoff coming down the asile with Renee Dupree and Shannon Moore, saying that they both already agreed to be WCW superstars, because they hadn't been used in weeks and were tired of Paul Heyman's treatment. he called out Bobby Lashley, the new ECW champion, who came down to the ring. Eric offered Bobby a WCW contract, but Lashley said that he would think about it later. WCW's third pick of the night would turn out to be Davari. Following a win against Balls Mahoney, Eric offered Davari a WCW contract. Davari signed, then said something in Farsi. Following a win against Hardcore Holly, Bobby Lashley was celebrating when Eric Bischoff came down to the ring. He again asked Lashley if he would like to be a part of WCW. Before he could reply, however, Paul Heyman made his way to the ring, along with his special enforcers. Heyman said that this was exactly like when Mike Awesome came to WCW as ECW champion, and he was not going to let that happen ever again. Lashely took the mic and said that unlike Awesome, he wasn't going to jump ship. Eric Bischoff would reply "Too bad." as soon as he did, Paul Heymans enforcers jumped both Heyman and Lashley, leaving them both out cold. Both men unmasked themselves, revealing to be the Basham brothers. ECW went off the air as Eric Bischoff raised both men's arms in the air.
