More Celebrities Set For SNME, Steve Austin/RAW GM?!, More
NBC sent out a press release regarding Jenny McCarthy and other celebrities getting together with WWE for Saturday Night's Main Event to raise awareness for children with Autism. In addition to McCarthy, Toby Keith, Billy Ray Cyrus and Ben Stiller (although he's not listed on the press release) appearing on the show in some form, the press release notes that Carmen Electra, Piers Morgan (judge on NBC show America's Got Talent), James Roday (actor on USA Network's Psych), singer Jewel, and the cast of Nashville Star will be appearing on Saturday Night's Main Event as well.
Jim Ross has posted a new blog regarding the latest WWE happenings on the Fan Nation site. He says he's looking forward to working the Saturday Night's Main Event. To reiterate once again, the show will be taped before Raw goes live on the air tonight. Ross said so in his blog. Regarding the possibility of a new Raw General Manager, Ross wrote: "Rumor has it that Raw will be getting a new General Manager soon and perhaps as early as this Monday night in D.C. That would not surprise me as that brand has been rolling somewhat out of control the past few weeks which I can tell you has made my former broadcast partner uneasy. I have heard some amazing names mentioned as potential G.M.'s for Raw, some so extraordinary that I won't even mention them here for fear I might get laughed off WWE.com. All I can say is stay tuned because from what I hear business is going to pick up big time on Monday Night Raw "Sooner" than later."
WWE.com has a poll on the Raw page asking fans who they think Shane and Stephanie McMahon are considering for the new General Manager of Raw. The options listed include mother Linda McMahon, Eric Bischoff, Armando Estrada, Snitsky, and Val Venis. Venis is the runaway winner of the poll with 61% of the vote as of this post. Venis is so far ahead that the person in second place, Eric Bischoff, only has 16% of the vote.
Note from Ryan Clark: Steve Austin's new has been thrown into the hat regarding possible new GM's but that is in no way confirmed.
