Bill Apter reavels who was in the limo.

[Guest Shaved Bear]

imagine if its Mike Sanders...and this was a Smark-themed swerve

[Guest evenflowDDT]

Who's Bill Apter?

[Guest jimmy no nose]

Who's Bill Apter?

You're really asking, right? He did the old mark magazines and I believe most recently WOW magazine.

[Guest spiny norman]

It'll be Test.

 

He's the heart of Smackdown, after all.

[Guest AssDroid!]

Who's Bill Apter?

He was the editor of "Pro Wrestling Illustrated" and magazines like that. You'd recognize him as the balding guy with the glasses taking pictures at ringside during WWE PPVs.

[Guest NoCalMike]

In the slightest possibility that it WAS Goldberg in the limo, let me be the next one to say, OH PLEASE GOD, NOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Guest mach7]

*sigh* It's neither Goldberg or Steiner.

 

Straight from WWE.com:

 

"Eric Bischoff bragged at the end of SmackDown! that he knocked out Stephanie McMahon by stealing one of her superstars. Speculation is running wild over who the RAW general manager could have had in his limo last Thursday night. We'll discover the identity of the defector when RAW airs live on TNN at 9 p.m. ET this Monday from Greensboro, N.C.!"

It's Hogan then.

[Guest The Mountie]

And Apter only said like 'wouldn't it be great if it was Goldberg'.

WOW is no more!

[Guest BionicRedneck]

WOW is no more!

Good, it was shit.

[Guest Nevermortal]

Maybe its Albert, so we can get another one of his FAILED MONSTER PUSHES!

[Guest Jobber of the Week]

Dude remember when Eddy used Austin's music? They popped like crazy.

They popped like crazy because all the marks and rubes in the audience still thought it was a work. I was the only guy in the arena who knew what was going on, it seemed. Everyone kept expecting Austin to come back at the end of the night.

 

Of course, the WWE didn't really make things any better. When Austin [really the Rock] was announced as coming to the ring to talk, the marks behind me were going banannas. "Can you believe it? Stone Cold is really here. Stone Cold is in OUR arena! WOOOOO!" and that kind of thing.

 

Again, it was that period where even smarks were unsure if it was real or if the WWE was using the dirt sheets to launch a hell of an angle.

[Guest Prince Paul]

I think it's Austin.

 

 

 

 

 

Just kidding.

 

I really hope it isn't Goldberg. I have no desire to see him in WWE at all.

[Guest TheArchiteck]

I hope it's Stiener.

Hell It would even be nice seeing ol Goldberg again.

[Guest saturnmark4life]

if goldberg showed up, attacked brock WITHOUT the possiblity of a world title feud, i'd would mark out. as long as he left soon after. Seriously, if it's not hogan, who the fuck is it?

[Guest DJ Jeff]

If it's Goldberg, that would be pretty cool to see. However, I can guarantee that it won't be Goldberg. I'm almost 100% sure that it's going to be Hogan. It seems as if Smackdown is being reserved for the up and coming superstars, ie. Angle, Jericho, Edge, Cena, etc. If it's anyone else besides Hogan, I'll be surprised, but I think it's going to be Hogan.

[Guest evenflowDDT]

I certainly hope it's not Hogan, although it probably is. Maybe if they really are going with a "Eric Bischoff turns RAW into Nitro" storyline then they could fit that in, but otherwise, I don't want to see Hogan in any increased role, ever, and may have to reinstate my "flip the channel every time Hogan's on so his segment gets THAT much of a lower rating" mini-boycott

 

Yea, I really didn't know who Bill Apter was. Thanks for telling me. I still don't understand why his idea/discussion is so important though just because he ran some old crappy wrestling magazine. Does he still have "inside sources" or something?

[Guest Just call me Dan]

Apter is 100% wrong if he thinks it is Goldberg. It is NOT Goldberg. Period.
