During this segment, Undertaker mentions how he makes people famous so I think that's where it all began (I remember the whole "I'll make you famous" thing).
• The Raw opening finishes and we see where we are and for some reason we're just shown the name of the arena and not the city and state like we usually are, although last week we were just shown the name of the city and no state.
Maybe next week it'll be the name of the street?
• We start with the nWo's theme blasting out but Vince comes out instead.
SPOILER:
show
It was actually weird seeing Vince come out with nWo's theme and entrance and I actually can't remember that from back in the day.
Anyway, Vince grabs a mic and announces that we've just heard the nWo theme for the last time and that the nWo are officially over (probably because Nash's quad exploded last week).
Vince says that the WWE have to move with the times and that's why he's going to announce new GM's for Raw and SmackDown, with Raw's GM being announced within the hour.
Vince's promo did leave me wondering what the original plan was with the nWo and Triple H, with the nWo trying to get Triple H to join them. Was Triple H going to join them? Was Triple H going to say no and be involved in an angle that pitted him on his own against all of the nWo?
We'll just never know.
Unless someone does know.
I remember DDP saying "Make me famous" in 2001
I am guessing some aspects of it was used in the Faux DX reunion.
