Guest NoCalMike Report post Posted July 23, 2003 Well since Linda is Steph's mom, I wonder if she will have any promos where she is on the phone with the hospital or a McMahon relative to check up on Linda, or maybe not even be at Smackdown to be at her hospital bed. I mean, if she doesn't even mention the Kane/Linda incident one time through the whole show, I think that would be pretty weak story-wise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Austin3164life Report post Posted July 23, 2003 I doubt they are really going to use that much logic, for a daughter to call her parent. It doesn't fit their guidelines over at Titan Towers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LivingLegendGaryColeman 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2003 It's going to be like how Vince was a face on RAW and heel on Smackdown back in February... it's going to be a whole different world. Linda will be fine on Smackdown, doing all sorts of physical tasks no problem, then come next Monday, on RAW, she is confined to a wheel chair for the rest of her life because of Monday's incident.

Guest AndrewTS Report post Posted July 23, 2003 I doubt it, and I really wouldn't want her to say anything on SD about it. Â Perfect solution-- Â Cole: Our General Manager Stephanie McMahon will not be here tonight due to injury to her mother from Monday.

Guest Just call me Dan Report post Posted July 23, 2003 I think Steph will be on her way to the hospital where she'll meet Bischoff at a red light and they'll make out again. We won't see Steph on Raw anymore and we won't hear anything of it again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Loss4Words Report post Posted July 23, 2003 Vince drugged her while he slept with Trish Stratus and Stephanie has slapped her in the face and caller her a bitch. So they probably don't have a problem with her simulating the "69" position with Kane as he drops her to his knees. If anything, NOT mentioning her is consistent with their characters.

Guest Loss4Words Report post Posted July 23, 2003 They supposedly had counseling and worked out their problems just because it was convenient in storylines. Within a month, Vince was back flirting with Trish again and having everyone give him analingus on live TV, so who knows? Â As for Kane, they need to sell this like they sold everything with the NWO, meaning they talk about it constantly and show fear for their safety at all time, to a point where they have trouble focusing on anything else. Some will frown upon that, and I don't think they should do it as long or even quite to the extreme that WCW did, but the element needs to be there. Â Having Coach and Lawler walk out on a live RAW fearing their own safety, leaving Austin and Bischoff to do commentary all night because no one else is available, is a good idea for an angle actually.

Guest undisputedjericho Report post Posted July 23, 2003 I'd enjoy an Austin/Bischoff comentary tag team. That'd be quite a listen. Â By the way, who is the face in the Steph/Sable fued? (I don't watch SmackDown!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree and to an extent they did that with  "What the hell is Kane is going to do?" but it really needs to be PUSHED like crazy...   King got in the way last week...Have it is afraid Kane will go after him...and thus called Austin and wouldn't appear at the show and Coach is all alone and he pretty much stays.."Screw this...Kane is after ANYONE...I am NOT a wrestler and I was not hired to look behind my back for a Monster like Kane...I'm sorry...Eric you can fire me but I can't do this"  So Eric and Austin decide to be out on the table so If Kane shows up...He does RIGHT for "King" but austin will be there to prevent that...  Show Wrestlers Car Pooling so that they aren't Alone...  Show wrestlers leaving the building after their matches to avoid Kane...

Guest Retro Rob Report post Posted July 23, 2003 But if they keep going with this house arrest thing, in theory none of the wrestlers have anything to worry about unless they are either booked to face Kane or run out during a Kane match. The announcers would still be at risk since they are sitting on the set. Â Maybe having the refs and announcers refuse to work would be good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted July 23, 2003 Yeah...They clearly make us think... Â Â KANE is Captivated until he has a Match... Â So I would LOVE if they built a portable "Hannibal Cell" for Kane...and they lock him up at the start of the show and like Goldberg they Let him out and escort him to the ring...

Guest Fook_Hing_Ho Report post Posted July 24, 2003 Maybe having the refs and announcers refuse to work would be good. That could work, but then you run into the problem of who refs Kane's matches.
