WWE.com hypes the closing remarks from RAW

Playing up the closing RAW remarks from Vince McMahon and Shane McMahon, WWE.com suspects that Eric Bischoff’s job is in jeopardy.

The main page of the website featured a brief statement:

“After failing to achieve his goals for the night, it appears that Eric Bischoff’s job is in jeopardy. While watching backstage, Mr. McMahon told his son Shane that it was ‘time to take out the trash.’”

In an angle to open RAW, the WWE Chairman told Eric Bischoff that if the RAW GM didn’t set goals and achieve them, he would be out of a job. Shane McMahon was then teased as the potential replacement for the position. It should be noted, however, that a connection between Eric Bischoff and “the trash” has never definitively been forged.
