  TUCSON, Ariz. — Since the days when Nero entertained the masses at the Roman Coliseum to Vincent J. McMahon’s jam-packed cards at world-famous Madison Square Garden, spectators have only seen what promoters wanted them to see. Now, thanks to Mr. McMahon and his landmark announcement Monday on RAW, all of that’s about to change.
  
  On October 19, RAW will host its first interactive pay-per-view, during which fans will actually create their very own card by voting for the matches they want to see most. In fact, WWE enthusiasts will actually take over Eric Bischoff’s job as General Manager for a night, creating intriguing match ups and wild stipulations.

We always say we’re fan friendly and give the people what they want, so this is really a chance to put your money where your mouth is. I’m hoping to see [SmackDown’s] Funaki challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship.”
  
  Eric Bischoff
  “I think it’s insane, first of all. I mean, why don’t the fans just come in and produce the television show? Why don’t the fans come in and set the arena event schedule? Why don’t the fans come in and run WWE corporate headquarters? Quite honestly, I don’t understand why Vince McMahon would make such a move. It doesn’t make any sense to me.
  
  “It’s not a question about the fans usurping me. The question is, ‘Who’s producing a television show?
