WWE Script From RAW's Debut TNN Episode {Stone Cold's Return}

[SteelCitySoldier]

- The script for the debut episode of WWE RAW on TNN (September 25, 2000), which featured the return of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin after a hiatus due to neck surgery, was leaked online. A Reddit user got the script from his father, who worked backstage at the Bryce Jordan Center in State College, Pennsylvania on that night.

He wrote: "Hey guys, if you remember awhile back I posted a script my dad found backstage while working at the Bryce Jordan Center. I told you I had another one and here it is (sorry for the delay). This was the first broadcast on TNN and a damn good episode of RAW. Enjoy!"

That's from 2000 though, when they just gave "bullet points".

it's funny that Rikishi has a match right after Austin comes back from being run over.

I miss Austin being around

that was when they had stars on the roster. guarantee the script is 10x the size and has everything mapped out to a T

that is a real script from a time.
when, the talent did not need a script that was created for them word for word.

wrasslin is booked,..not scripted.
that is the problem with sports entertainment..

this was a throwback to when raw, was booked.
you can tell from the talent, and who was a newcomer.
who was experienced enough to make an incredible segment on the spot.

I actually remember this episode when, I started playing the youtube link.

smh,..at the irony of edge at the 29.02 mark.
talking about lita, being attractive from only a distance, sarcastically...

Still a damn shame how they can have so much action and drama in 2 hours back in the days but can't do that now in the 3 hour format.

That's because 3 hours is way to much time to fill weekly .... plus 2 hours for smackdown ... thats 5 hours a week ...
WWE has oversaturated itself ....

Its like damn WWE, you have no competition ... why do yo feel the need to put so much on..

i just watched that episode ... Its amazing what those STARS did with that bullet script
