This is where the old promos will be found. When I add them here, I'm gonna put what wrestler did the promo, and who was writing for that wrestler at the time(If they're still part of this). Also, I'm gonna contain each wrestler to one post, if possible, and if the promo was part of a show, I'll post when the show was. Otherwise, it was a wcwwe.com exclusive.
So without further ado, the very first WCWWE promo ever!
William Regal-Tank
Ladies and Gentlemen, you know who I am, and you know why I am here. As you are aware by now, I will be acting as the General Manager of Monday Night Raw, by order of our fine chairman, Vincent Kennedy McMahon. And per Mr. McMahon's deman...advision, I will be acting as a fair, unbiased symbol of authority. However, there is one simple fact that as Raw "entertainers" you must remember...and that is that I am not only your General Manager...
*Regal's tron was in here*
I am your king. And thusly, my word is not only the word of the General Manager, it is the royal decree of your 2008 King of the Ring. And considering that I am putting my wrestling career on hold in order to act as your General Manager, I expect you to follow my orders to the word, lest you find yourself facing rather...painful consequences.
Raw Opening Promo
*Camera cuts on in a lavish office. Bookshelves line every wall up to the roof, and the lights are all dim, save for two: the fireplace filled by a rather large blaze, and a single floor lamp which overhangs a leather chair. The cameraman moves around the chair to reveal William Regal, 2008 King of the Ring and General Manager of Raw, reading The Once and Future King and drinking a cup of Earl Grey. GM Regal continues reading until he realizes the cameraman standing there.*
Oh, hello. Didn't realize you were here. My name is William Regal, and I am your king. As of last week, however, I am once again your acting General Manager of Raw due to the......"release" of Michael Adamle as General Manager. Seems the bloody git just wasn't up to snuff. Nonetheless, on behalf of Raw, I wish him well in his future endeavors.
*Regal chuckles a bit, finishes off his tea, and puts his book down.*
Now then, to begin my new tenure as Raw General Manager, I will show that I do not intend to insult you members of the audience, whether you are a fellow Brit or a resident of a..."lesser" nation. As you are probably aware by now, at the airing of this show, it is Wednesday, October 29th. Due to some unfortunate scheduling problems, Raw will be aired on Wednesdays from here on out. I apologize in advance for this troubling affair, but promise that it will in no way affect the show.
Now then, moving on to tonight. Tonight is the first Raw of the season, and as your new General Manager, I intend to start the season off right. So, tonight will be an excellent show, I assure you. But before we go into the show, I'd like to make some announcements.
First off, the World Tag Team Championships. My decision for this is a simple one. 8 teams will be entered in a tournament, consisting of Raw and ECW teams will square off, with the finals of this tournament taking place at Survivor Series next month in November.
Moving on to the Intercontinental Championship. Mirroring the Tag Title situation, there will be a tournament consisting of 16 Superstars from Raw and ECW, with the finals of this tournament taking place at Survivor Series.
The Undisputed Women's Championship will also be decided at Survivor Series. Unfortunately, I haven't recieved any information on this yet, so you'll have to wait until Mr. McMahon or the Board of Directors makes a statement regarding it.
Finally, we come to the largest piece of news. The Undisputed WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Four men will square off in a Round Robin style mini-tournament. Batista, Shawn Michaels, JBL, and Rey Mysterio. The man who makes it out of this tournament with the most points will move on to Survivor Series and face the World Heavyweight Champion, Chris Jericho.
Now that the title business is out of the way, let's take a look at tonight's schedule, shall we?
*Regal picks up a remote control and presses a button, which turns on an LCD screen above the fireplace. The screen is adorned with the Raw logo.*
Before I begin, I feel it necessary to mention one thing. While I have agreed to the Talent Exchange between Raw and ECW, I feel that as Raw's first show of the season this should be a show featuring Raw's finest and only Raw's finest. Therefore, there will be no ECW Superstars featured tonight. However, ECW's boys will be here next week, when the tournaments begin for the World Tag Team Championships and Intercontinental Championship. But, more information on that matter next week.
To begin tonight's affairs, a match will take place between two of Raw's greatest tag teams. Two members of the former World Tag Team Champions, Team Priceless will square off against Raw's newest tag team, Kofi Kingston and CM Punk.
*Regal presses another button on the remote, which brings up Priceless and Punk/Kofi.*
The second match of the evening will be an exhibition featuring the World Heavyweight Champion, Chris Jericho, taking on the very first Royal Rumble winner, Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
*Regal presses the button again, which changes the picture to Duggan and Jericho.*
Following that will be a Triple Threat bout between former WWE Tag Team Champion and World Tag Tea Champion Paul London, former Euro-continental Champion D'Lo Brown, and the "Undefeated" Snitsky.
*Regal presses the same button, which changes the picture to D'Lo, London, and Snitsky.*
Next, you will hear from our illustrious chairman, Mr. McMahon.
*The button is pressed again, and Vince McMahon's face covers nearly the entire screen.*
After Mr. McMahon's appearance, my fellow Englishman Paul Burchill will face off with the man of a million faces, Charlie Haas.
*Again, the button changes the picture to Burchill and Haas.*
After which will be a match many are undoubtedly waiting for, the Raw Divas. Mickie James, Katie Lea Burchill, Jillian Hall, and The Glamazon Beth Phoenix will face off in a Fatal Four Way Elimination match.
*The Divas appear on-screen, and unsurprisingly, this picture takes longer than the others to be switched.*
Following this will be another singles match, where former Intercontinental Champion Santino Marella will battle the Big Red Monster, Kane.
*Santino's face shares the screen with Kane's ugly mug.*
Finally, our main event. Rey Mysterio will team up with none other than The Animal Batista to face off with The Wrestling God JBL and The Heart Break Kid Shawn Michaels, with the World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho as special guest commentator.
*The participants of the tournament appear on-screen.*
Hopefully, Smackdown and ECW will put a valiant effort attempting to top tonight's affairs. Because nothing will please me more than to lord victory over Theodore Long and Victoria Guerrero.
*Regal chuckles again, presses the button to bring back the Raw logo, and sets down the remote.*
And thusly, without further ado, Welcome to "Monday" Night Raw!!!
So without further ado, the very first WCWWE promo ever!
