Observation about Confidential

[Guest HartFan86]

I just thought of something. I quote Jim Ross:

 

"He'll never be on Raw again, as far as I know."

 

Could this be a setup to trade him to Smackdown?

 

I feel this is now a shoot after watching tonight, but something in the back of my head wants me to believe this is still a work.

After watching tonight, I know Heyman's writing this angle.  They obviously didn't learn from WCW/Russo's mistakes of going too inside for the public.

Confidential has me convinced it was a shoot. I mean look at JR- he can't act.

[Guest cabbageboy]

I think Jim Ross just made a generalized comment about him not being no Raw again.  I mean, even in the storyline Vince owns both shows again anyway so I doubt it.  After all Vince said tonight the door is not open for him to ever return.  It had that creepy "Bret screwed Bret" vibe going, except this time I wasn't angry at Vince.....this time I agreed with him.

 

I can't really see this being an angle of any sort.  How could this possibly draw any money?  I mean, JR and Vince basically said he couldn't be trusted to even show up anymore, so that kinda kills Austin's drawing potential I would think.

Don't you guys see it?  They're recreating the Invasion angle.  Hopefully they don't fuck it up this time.

And-exactly-how-is-that?

This cant be an angle. How the hell can this be an angle, that would be too wcwish, using their own real life problems to benefit a storyline and it didnt work for wcw and it wont work here. Vince said he couldnt do beusiness with austin again, because he may walk out again. If this is a swerve I will shut up. But it doesnt seem like it at all.

[Guest wolverine]

Well this is proof that it's a DAMN good one, because it seems to be working over here.

[Guest bob_barron]

so wolverine Austin is gonna come back with a bunch of WCW/ECW guys?????

 

Ummmmmmmm yea

[Guest wolverine]

Nah, he's going to play Sting circa 1997.  I can't believe people aren't picking up on this.

Honestly, the thought crossed my mind. If this really is a work then Confidential is a double-edged sword because 1) IF this is a work, then we have witnessed an outlet for some of the best acting I have ever seen on WWF(E) television, and 2) the show's credibility is already suffering thanks to Shawn Michaels' return.
