Remember that Halloween party they had on Smackdown in 2002 when Eric Bischoff kissed Stephanie McMahon? Former WWE writer Seth Mates, in his blog, explains it (kinda): "In no version of any script/rundown from that day will you find the kiss. It was never supposed to be a part of the show. There HAD been an earlier machination of the script in which a mystery man would be at the party in a Triple H mask, which would intrigue Stephanie, who would track him down as he was leaving. He'd kiss her, and THEN reveal himself to be Bischoff, in a "screw you, I infiltrated your show again" type moment. But that had been changed well before the day's taping. The plan was changed to where instead of a guy in a Triple H mask lurking at the party and Stephanie being curious who it was, John Cena would instead just tell Stephanie that her dad was here to see her. Then Bischoff would reveal himself and they would have words. I don't remember what the exact finish was to be -- but there was not a kiss involved. As I understand it (and I wasn't there when that specific vignette was shot; I was still in the main Halloween party room), the kiss was just a last-second idea that they green-lighted and went with. When we writers saw it after the fact, we had the same reaction you did -- What the heck? Having them kiss AFTER the reveal -- and Stephanie liking it -- added a whole new dimension to the thing. Though it was a surprise, it was one that we realized we could use to help tell the story; it could have had some legs and brought an extra intrigue to this whole new "general manager competition" thing we did back in 2002. We threw together a number of ideas to try and follow up on it -- A secret affair? A drunken mistake? -- but we were told to forget it ever happened. I brought up the point that the reason why it's so easy for fans to stop watching our show is because of dropped storylines like that, but I was told let's forget it ever happened. So that was it." weblogs.newsday.com/sports/specialevent/wrestling/2008/04/answering_your_questions_eric.html#more |

Except he didn't say it was crap, he said it was good and that they didn't think of it...

See, what really happened is the idea for John Cena to be a rapper was really Bischoff's. (You'll recall that that was the night Cena dressed as Vanilla Ice and became Thug Life from there on). Bisch was really only there to sign Cena to Raw and run with the rapper concept, thus proving he had more up his sleeve than just the nWo.
Unfortunately, as he was about to leave, he caught a gilmpse of Steph's ridiculously huge and luscious knockers in that awesome witch costume. Figuring he'd get a little nookie as an extra turn of the screw on his rival, he came up with the whole Vince mask idea and launched his perv plan....
BUT IT BACKFIRED!!!!
Stephanie's costume actually gave her some sort of dark power for the evening, and during their kiss, she managed to suck Bischoff's idea for Rapper Cena right out of his mind! That's why she was smiling; rather than sexual satisifaction, she saw the huge amounts of money The Doctor of Thuganomics was about to make her!

But it was planned (otherwise Bischoff would've gotten fired, who's his boss?), and then they just decided to drop it. Like the former writer says, happens all the time. |

They did bring it up again on Raw following that SD and Trips got up in Bischoff's face and wondered if he was trying to screw with him. Then it was never brought up again.
