RAW is Trump: How This Storyline Will Continue

Off the heels of stellar ratings for this past Monday's Raw, this week WWE hinted Donald Trump just may be back after all. We may have not seen the last of his feud with Vince McMahon.

WWE is really in a vicarious position. Kind of like the one Triple H was caught in years ago when Stephanie caught him standing over a bending Trish Stratus (it was a storyline folks).

The problem WWE faces, of course, is a complicated one.

Once WWE announced Trump had bought RAW, stocks for WWE dropped faster then a male's libido after seeing Santina Marella.  Stockholders cried foul and now Federal "Investorgaters" are looking into WWE devaluing their stocks by a made-up storyline.

In defense of WWE, if I held stocks in a company I would definitely take interest in it enough to know the difference between fact and a made-up storyline.

But apparently these WWE stockholders believed Donald Trump bought RAW, and started selling off their WWE stocks kinda like how Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd dumped those pork belly and orange juice futures in the movie Trading Places.

To handle the situation and enact damage control, WWE and the USA network immediately held a press release for the uninformed and plain old stupid by saying "It was only a storyline."

Now, here's the irony. WWE RAW ratings are back and the Trump as owner of RAW storyline brought in huge ratings.

Try a 4.5 rating. WWE hasn't had a rating this high since a Jan. 2006 edition of RAW.

After a week-long Trump is RAW storyline, which had to be dumped because of clueless investors who own WWE stocks but don't have a clue what the product is, most likely named Muffy and Buffy, WWE is sitting on one giant dilemma.

How can they bring Trump back for big ratings but not confuse these stockholders who don't know the difference between storyline and reality—and avoid federal prosecution at the same time?

The best way for WWE to have the cake and the icing is to bring Trump back—storyline-wise—to start his own "federation" faction that tries to invade WWE.

Think nWo but with Trump. It would be even better if Trump hired WWE stars who are "fired" by Vince.

Now, that would be a ratings blockbuster.

I'm sure your thinking an invasion-type angle has already been done.

But having Trump come in and buy Raw was called a hostile takeover. It's pretty much the same thing.

Ok, now you're saying, "But a faction thing has been done already with nWo. WWE would never copy another gimmick."

It's not copying, really. WCW had nWo. WWE created DX. Did anyone say WWE was a copycat then?

Beside's, Eric Bischoff has only been good for one thing. The nWo storyline/faction. So why not pillage and rape his one good idea over and over again. Last time I looked, all he does now is Twitter and complain about how Triple H's appearance is dated.

This coming from a guy who hasn't worked in a major wrestling organization for five years.

Speaking of dated looks, I guess Bischoff hasn't looked in the mirror lately and gandered at that salt and pepper look he's been sporting. I also guess Eric hasn't seen those Just For Men commerical's that air during RAW where two girls go up to their daddy and hand him a box of hair dye and make him feel worthless.

The bottom line is this: When WWE brings Trump back—and you know they will, after all, he smells of ratings— the best way to do it is having Trump figure if he can't buy RAW, he'll buy the talent.

I think it could go either way. Vince is sort of on the fence as being a face with Triple H, after what Legacy did to them. This would be a perfect opening for Trump to side with Legacy and acquire them and other heels who Vince unceremoniously fires in the coming weeks.

While we await another Trump appearance on RAW (which WWE is hinting at), it's a good time to ponder the possibilities.

RAW Is Trump sounds pretty interesting.
