Bischoff Turns Down WWE, Heyman/WWE, Lots More

Former AWA World Tag Team champion Buddy Rose is working on his autobiography "Shoot to Work," which is expected to come out this fall. Rose was managed in the AWA by Sherri Martel in the mid 80's.

Eric Bischoff was asked to take part in the Vince McMahon Appreciation on Raw, but turned it down claiming it conflicted with major business meetings.

Others considered for the McMahon Appreciation night included Paul Heyman (shot down by Stephanie) and Verne Gagne (shot down by Kevin Dunn).

Despite reports, WWE referees are told the finishes of the matches, but on occasion, wrestlers are given a different finish. The idea is that the referees are to react as if the match was a shoot.
