Joe's 411: B/R Pro-Wrestling News

Welcome to an all-new Joe's 411: B/R Pro-Wrestling News, the best place for wrestling news around. There is a lot to get to today, so lets get started.

RAW Talent Confusion

There is a lot going on tonight on RAW. The WWE is starting an hour early, as they are going three hours. The big part of the night will be the three World Title matches, of course, but what else will there be?

We are rumored to find out who the new RAW General Manager is supposed to be. They are in Charlotte, North Carolina, which is Ric Flair's hometown, so that may be a clue as to who the new General Manager is.

Flair also stepped down as ROH Ambassador, and has been saying to many that he signed a new deal with the WWE and he will be on shortly. This could be another clue that Flair will be name the new GM.

He has been RAW GM in the past, as he was "part-owner" of the WWE back in late 2001, after Survivor Series, where Team WWF beat Team WCW-ECW. The storyline was that Shane and Stephanie sold their stock in the company and Flair bought it.

Apparently, Shane and Stephanie were part-owners of the WWF along with Vince. It was kind of weird to find out after the whole alliance thing happened, but oh well.

Flair and Vince fought over who would be the real owner for the longest time. Then Linda McMahon had the idea to split apart the WWE. Vince would take SmackDown and Flair would take RAW.

This was the first time we saw the WWE Draft. Now, of course, it is an annual affair.

I am going through this history to show that Flair knows a little about being a GM, so he could be a good choice.

There is a rumor going around, though, that Shawn Michaels will be coming back tonight. Michaels said he does not want to wrestle too much right now, and he was set to come back around Summerslam, before he said he wanted to take more time off.

This makes no sense, because of the fact that Michaels wants to take more time off. Why would he come back early? Never the less, it is rumored, and some say he could be the new GM instead of Flair.

JBL has also been talked about, and he could work. He did retire back at Wrestlemania, and he has no desire to wrestle again. Maybe the WWE could make him the new RAW GM. Who knows?

I have my money on Flair, but with the WWE, anything can happen.

The confusion does not end there. Just about all of the SmackDown superstars, with the exception of Mysterio, Jericho, Hardy, Edge, and Punk, supposedly have no idea what they are doing for RAW. ECW superstars do not know their roles either, other than Dreamer and Christian.

As of late Saturday night, superstars were telling friends that they didn't know what their role would be because creative didn't tell them anything. We may not see anything with SmackDown or ECW superstars other than the World Title matches, but that seems unlikely.

I, personally, want to see a Miz vs Morrison match, considering what happened to Morrison at the hands of Miz.

I would think we would see something with the SmackDown and ECW Superstars, considering they have a three-hour RAW. I guess we will have to watch and see.
