Promotion
In late 2005, Bischoff was (kayfabe) "removed" as General Manager of Raw, when Vince McMahon tossed him into a garbage truck - following a "trial" where his history of unscrupulous actions were listed. Bischoff then sat out the remainder of the year and spent the start of 2006 writing a book that would become Controversy Creates Cash.
On the September 25, 2006 edition of Raw, Bischoff appeared to deliver a worked shoot, claiming that before being unceremoniously and unjustly fired, he signed a book deal with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and that his book was finished. Reflecting on the Monday Night Wars, he stated, "I tell the truth about a lot of things, most of which will piss off Vincent Kennedy McMahon". He then claimed that Raw in its current form wouldn't be possible without him and that D-Generation X wouldn't exist without the New World Order. Jonathan Coachman (in kayfabe) then cut off Bischoff and had him escorted out as he hinted at "the truth about Vince McMahon".
WWE.com featured shoot-comments from past World Championship Wrestling (WCW) employees regarding their relationship with Bischoff and feelings on his upcoming book. Talent such as Dave Finlay and William Regal shared respectful comments while others like Chavo Guerrero, Jr. were more scathing, declaring that "controversy creates an asshole".

Famous quotes containing the word promotion:
“I am asked if I would not be gratified if my friends would procure me promotion to a brigadier-generalship. My feeling is that I would rather be one of the good colonels than one of the poor generals. The colonel of a regiment has one of the most agreeable positions in the service, and one of the most useful. “A good colonel makes a good regiment,” is an axiom.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“Parents can fail to cheer your successes as wildly as you expected, pointing out that you are sharing your Nobel Prize with a couple of other people, or that your Oscar was for supporting actress, not really for a starring role. More subtly, they can cheer your successes too wildly, forcing you into the awkward realization that your achievement of merely graduating or getting the promotion did not warrant the fireworks and brass band.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
