Waltman is known for the phenomenon called "X-Pac heat," in which a wrestler draws boos and catcalls from the audience, not for his expertise in playing a heel and raising the ire of the audience, but rather because the crowd legitimately dislikes the wrestler in question as a talent. Waltman attained his namesake heat through pedestrian matches in which he would always win, even when thought to be undeserving. Waltman was a member of The Clique, and remains friends with most of the other Clique members. However, his relationship with Chyna led to tension between Waltman and Triple H ...

Waltman was engaged to Joanie Laurer, who formerly played the role of Chyna in WWE, but the relationship ended after she accused Waltman of domestic violence. But before the couple split they were able to film a sex tape which was later released under the name 1 Night in China in late 2004 with the same company (Red Light District Video) that released the infamous Paris Hilton sex tape eariler in 2004. Since WWE still owned the rights of the name Chyna, the video had to include live shots of Waltman in China walking over the Great Wall to sp ...

After SummerSlam, The Mega Powers were on top of the wrestling world. However, the two had an uneasy relationship, particularly when it became obvious Hogan would act friendly toward Elizabeth. At the 1989 Royal Rumble, Hogan accidentally eliminated Savage in the Royal Rumble match when he went to put out Bad News Brown. The two appeared to make amends, but Savage was clearly upset after the event (which was ultimately won by Big John Studd). Things came to a full boil on NBC's prime-time special, The Main Event, in February 1989, when the two wrestled the tag team of The Big Boss Man, and Akeem ...

The first formal draft where each show could take talent from the other show was in 2004. Prior to this, talent movement was largely made through trades (akin to those found in sports), a brief "open season" period that saw many talents being on both shows due to a more lucrative contract offered on the other show, or simply an unexplained retooling of a wrestler's character. In 2004, two years after the brand extension (and one day after WrestleMania XX), McMahon made the announcement that a second draft was to occur the next ...

In addition to wrestling matches and backstage vignettes, RAW has also aired several recurring segments as part of its program. In 2003, Chris Jericho's "Highlight Reel" was the RAW equivalent of the "Piper's Pit" segments airing on SmackDown! at that time. Also in that year, Rodney Mack and Theodore Long hosted the "White Boy Challenge", a five minute time-limit challenge for any white wrestler to beat Mack. The challenge was eventually ended by Goldberg in the same year. 2004 saw the addition of an annual RAW Diva Search. The next year, 2005 WWE newcomer Chris Masters introduced th ...

In early 2002, the WWF (now WWE) announced they would be executing what they called a brand extension. The entire WWF roster would be split into two separate brands, each with their own exclusive show and champions: RAW and SmackDown! This was their "Plan B" in response to the failed "Invasion" storyline, which, would it have been successful, would have seen a revived World Championship Wrestling (and perhaps Extreme Championship Wrestling) promotion operating under the auspices of the WWF. Proponents of the brand extens ...

Bischoff's largest impact on the North American pro wrestling landscape was the launch of the weekly show WCW Monday Nitro in September 1995. In the aforementioned top-level meeting that summer, Turner asked Bischoff how WCW could conceivably compete with McMahon's WWF. Bischoff, not in his wildest dreams expecting Turner to comply, said that the only way would be a primetime slot on a weekday night, possibly up against the WWF's flagship show, Monday Night Raw. Turner, impressed by Bischoff's candor, gave him what he asked for ...

Everything changed in 1996, when WCW became the hottest promotion in North America. It did this with the groundbreaking WCW vs. nWo storyline that was masterminded by Bischoff. It was based on an idea of two warring promotions that he had seen in Japan. The storyline kicked off with Scott Hall (who was recently seen on WWF TV as Razor Ramon) walking into the ring unexpectedly during the middle of a match, and 'declaring war' on WCW. At the end of a Nitro episode a few weeks later, he was joined by Kevin Nash (another former WWF wrestl ...

After WrestleMania XIV in March 1998, the WWF regained the lead in the Monday Night Wars with its new WWF Attitude brand, led in particular by rising stars Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock and Mankind. The classic feud between McMahon (who was re-imagined and re-branded as the evil company chairman character Mr. McMahon) and Austin (who, ironically, had been released by Bischoff in the summer of 1995 for not being marketable) caught the imaginations of fans. The April 13, 1998 episode of RAW, headlined by a match between Austi ...

Bischoff was unexpectedly replaced by former WWF head writer Vince Russo and his colleague Ed Ferrera. Russo and Ferrera had been the head writers for the WWF at the beginning of the Attitude Era, subordinate only to Vince McMahon himself. WCW offered them lucrative contracts to jump ship in October 1999 in an effort to revitalize their own flagging product and weaken the product of the WWF. Russo and Ferrera tried to push the younger WCW talents straight away, and phase out ageing stars such as Hogan and Flair. However, Russo was thought by many to be incapable of recreating the intrigui ...

The game was stated to be "The Best Wrestling Game Since No Mercy 'Period" by gaming website IGN. Many players are disappointed in the fact the season mode in the game is very repetitive while No Mercy's isn't. Another disappointment is the one of the games major attractions was it's General Manager Mode which although allows players to create their own WWE roster it doesn't live up to the expectations some of the fans of the SmackDown! series have had.

Whether Bischoff had retracted the WCW Championship from the Undisputed Championship or introduced a new championship with a belt that only looks like the WCW Championship belt is a matter of debate among wrestling fans. The WWE's position on the matter has changed over the years, but currently it recognizes the World Heavyweight Championship as being a new title. WWE.com currently lists the title as a new title created in 2002. [1] In mid-2005, WWE.com added a Title History section for the WCW Championship, which listed Chris Jericho as its ...

Part of the controversy can be explained by the fact that WWE often uses the terms "world championship" or "world heavyweight champion" as a generic term (as opposed to the specific "World Heavyweight Championship" title in particular) to refer to either of the top-tier championships of WWE, i.e. either the RAW or SmackDown! world title. In the aforementioned May 19, 2003 edition of RAW, when the World Heavyweight Championship was held by Triple H, then co-General Manager "Stone Cold" Steve Austin demanded that he ...
