2001 rewind.


Recommended Posts

Backstory. May 1st 2001 and Vincent Kennedy Mcmahon announces he is done with booking and he just wants to sit back and enjoy life without egos and politics so he announces that he wants a new head booker. Shane McMahon was his first choice but Shane turned down the chance because he has other interests becides wrestling. Stephanie was next to ask but Vince felt that this was a mans job so she was out of the question. Vince did not trust Heyman with that much power so a search around the country was made. A young ****y man by the name of Tony Dorian came to Vince. He was not like the rest of these other ass kissers he spoke his mind and was not afraid to question Vince. Vince liked what he saw and offered Tony a contract much to Vinces delight he accepted and the power was his. 1st Day on the job. I made myself 3 goals going into this job and they were. 1. Put WCW out of business. 2. Make new stars. 3. Make a lot of money. I looked at the roster and saw it needed improving. The Main Event Scene was great it was full of big names like Steve Austin, HHH, The Rock, The Undertaker and many more but the midcard scene was full of big guys with little talent. Guys like Bull Buchanan, The Godfather and Billy Gunn. I knew something had to be done and soon because in 2 weeks I had a big PPV to book. But before that I had Raw to book on my first day. This was a big worry because not only was is the WWF's biggest TV show but it was also in MSG. Vince realy did throw me into the deep end. This was going to be make or break for me. Before I could even think about firings and hirings I had a show to run.
