I don't care...I'm sure it'll lead to some funny segments. More like you don't not care cuz you're not sure it won't lead to some unfunny unsegments or something....

Am I angry with him? No.
Am I surprised? No.
Vince got spoiled with the Evil Mr. McMahon character - as people were tuning in to watch Stone Cold stomp a mudhole in him, he figured it was due to his own stellar performance. Thus, we're forced to endure him year after year.

Honestly, it's the best way IMO to give the show any structure. You have three hours, several matches, and lots of people to squeeze into it. A "We hate Vince" story works well. Plus, who doesn't want to see people wail on him a bit?

Vince is a great man. Kudos for him for giving us Raw the past 15 years. We should be grateful, if he wanted he could just go back to the old days where we only get jobber matches in syndication.

Voted yes. I don't give a damn that he's the man behind it all, Vince being the center of the show is getting old. That would be like if Stan Lee showed up in the middle of a big Marvel Comics crossover and started taking the spotlight from Spider-Man and Hulk. We appreciate what the dude's done, but don't hog the spotlight from your creations.

You kids sure get angry over future events that will happen.....IN THE FUTURE! I guess they drive trendy, dated cars that can go 88 MPH that features a flux capacitor.

would u expect anything less from vince. The guy is an egomaniac and has been the center of attention over just about all of his employees for the last 10 years. More emphasis is placed on him than his own ME'ers most of the time and the sad thing is, his evil boss character ran out of steam 7-8 years ago!!! It served its purpose along with his family always being on tv in the attitude era, but there is not much purpose for any of them to be on tv. Thats why there are less than a handful of guys even over on RAW anymore. There is no creative emphasis put on them. Just vince and the other guys who have already been over for years. With the exception of Cena.

Yup, this is a first that I can recall, a preemptive ' that show was horrible offensive to me in every way' thread.

Thus, we're forced to endure him year after year. You've gotta be fair to Vince here, even if you don't like him. During the Austin storyline, Vince DID put on a stellar performance that ranks among the best heels EVER. Granted he's went to the well several times too many since; but Austin woulda never gotten over as well as he did as the rebel going against the evil boss if Vince wasn't playing his role to the hilt too. Both guys needed the other to play off of.

While I am not happy that Vince will try to make himself the center of the show tonight, I am hoping that all of his enemies (Hogan, Austin, Rock, Foley, Bret, Bischoff, etc.) all get the chance to kick Vince's a$$ tonight. I know that not all of them will be physically at the show tonight, but, I would go nuts if Easy E beat Vince up finally after all of these years (I am a WCW fan and I will always root for Bischoff over Vince) and the show (if I had my way) would end with Bret Hart coming out to his music and beating up Vince. I know that some of us would call Bret a hyppocrite for appearing on RAW after all of these years that he said that he would never return, but, I would cry like Niagara Falls if Bret came out. If he came out one more time and decked Vince, that would do it for me. I mean that I would have seen everything that I need to see on WWE and I could walk away from wrestling as a happy fan. It won't happen, but, admit it: We would all go crazy and weep if we heard Bret's music and he came out one more time on RAW.

I wouldn't, but I was never that huge a Bret fan. I'd mark a bit, but going crazy and weeping wouldn't be on the itinerary.

Vince>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>All current WWE Talent
Seriously Vince is the only guy who should be the focus of this show, no current WWE guy deserves anything and are just there. Maybe that is Vince's fault honestly maybe it's the writting but most guys they are pushing are so boring and lack any excitement, hell. Basically this show showcases that WWE is still living in 2001 and can't go above that in any way. I mean who gives a f*** about Hogan, Austin, Foley, HBK, Flair, Sunny and Trish? Try getting Carlito, Punk, Santino, MVP, Kennedy, and the younger talent over intead of depending on the geriatric crew. I mean there will be a day you couldn't use those guys and than what?

Not really, it's not even your typical episode of Raw; it's an anniversary celebration thing. As such, they can put current stuff on the backburner for one week. This show is supposed to just be a fun 'memories' thing.

It's better than a three hour show based around Orton, Trips, Cena, or Flair.

They are making him the focus not because 'Vince is teh arroganz and he can't let go of the limelight' but because it's pure storytelling. He will be the main focus because it will make it seem even huger when something massive happens at the end of Raw involving him. Him making the last 3 hour show his appreciation night was a stroke of genius. Heat and anticipation built up throughout the night around his character, and the shock at the end totally delivered. Something like that will happen tonight, and it will be glorious, I'm sure of it.

He was in no way, the main focus of the show. He had a segment at the start, and a segment at the end. Jeez, bitching that's completely wrong, how could I expect that.
