I remember seeing this and feeling that because it was right before that announcement that when Eric walked out to Vince that it stole some of the thunder from the moment in my opinion.
People....the reason they first showed Eric in this segment was so that people would TUNE In to the next segment (Bischoffs promo), they went to a commercial here and knew people would be talking...its called BOOKING.
that reaction by Booker was 100% real. No one and I mean no one besides very few knew Bishofff signed with wwe. The wrestlers were supposed to find out the same time we did...when Vince announced him. But a wrong turn down the hall and wrestlers saw him
Okay we get it. Bokker T accidently called Hulk Hogan "nigga" in a promo once a long time ago. It gets a little old seeing the same joke on every Bokker T video.
@TheBrandonShort Yeah, unfortunatly I know it will never go away, but I had to speak my mind on it. It's funny to see the actual interview where Booker makes the mistake, but seeing some goof crack a dumb joke about it is quite annoying.
@JasonL77 Oh I know exactly what you mean! Back to the Jericho reference, it was just a thing of pure genius on Jericho's part. To stay in character, while focused on The Undertaker AND yell at a fan all in one solid motion. But sadly. . .that will forever be over shadowed with lame "I'm from Winnipeg" jokes.
that moment was real. Booker...heck everyone but very few knew Bishoff was going to show up. He arrived in a limo and hid there, wrestlers would peak to try to see who it was. Bishoff was then going to be led secretly to the gorilla posistion but I believe Steph was escorting him and made a wrong turn into the hall where about everyone was there
@FayariMustang Eric Bishoff was like the vince mcmahon of WcW and Booker T was a big player in WcW so after its demise alot of wreslers from there, including booker jumped to wwe but the most unexpected guy to go thre was one of the biggest wwe haters Eric Bishoff, this is the first time he appeard in wwe and booker had been there for a couple of months by now and mixing the fact that it was so shocking bishoff had gone to wwe and him being booker's boss at wcw and every1 unaware he was there.
if only vince could have held on the wwf vs wcw storyline a little longer... he almost had all the talent: nash, hogan. hall, steiner, booker t. ddp, bischoff, flair, goldberg... that would have been the perfect time time to explode....combine with the ecw originals.....
To be honest, I think this way is better..because if he came out to Vince's announcement..we would've been expecting something shocking to occur..but this way..we did not see this coming so when we saw Eric for the first time..I'm pretty sure everyone's reaction was WTF..whereas if he debuted to Vince's announcement..it wouldn have been that shocking because we would have been expecting something shocking to happen..its better not expecting it. I hope you understand what I'm saying lol
@ShaiyaStudios I kinda agree but they did this one right, because nobody saw it coming, especially me. If Vince simply announced him on stage folks would have had an idea on who it was before he came out. Booker's reaction was priceless because he he had NO CLUE Bischoff would show up.
this was definitely one of the most epic moments in raw's history. this scene right here. bischoff slowly creeps in front of a wwf camera, to say hello to a former (and one of the only) employees of wcw left
the shoot interview with d'lo brown had the story of this particular set lol creative never told booker that bischoff was coming so the reaction was real d'lo even said it
Doing it this way was better than having Vince introduce him on the stage. This was more shocking, because nobody saw Bischoff coming, while if Vince announced it, everyone would have anticipated it.
I never watched much WCW back in the day, but I knew how Bischoff was... And when I saw this I was like, "No way! Not him!" I was like 10 when this happened... I was pretty much stunned
I remember calling it earlier in the night, even though I thought I was wrong. Still think that this appearance ruined the moment he walked on stage, but to each his own.
You know what's pretty sad... no performer in the WWE today including John Cena or Randy Orton can get the same kind of reaction Eric Bischoff, a non-wrestler, got then just by walking on camera.
@greggymcgurks ye but thats mainly cause not 1 person in the world other then vince mcmahon and high profile wwe personell knew that bischoff was gunna be the new gm it wasnt even considerable. the commentators responses r genuine which is y jr is so quite for once
