Thought they were really gonna let Paul run with it but in the end they fukked it up like always.

One of their former writers claimed the reason why it never worked out was because Vince didn't want to put anyone from ECW over or make the product look good. I remember reading that a lot of feuds like Dreamer, Sabu and Funk were supposed to go a lot longer.

Seems like WWE does a major worked shoot angle every five years or so: Heyman in 01', Joey Styles in 06', and Truth/Punk last year. It looked like Ambrose/Foley was gonna be similar but their angle got dropped. I guess we'll see in 2016.

When don't they?

It was obvious back then that they weren't planning on that news getting out or that angle. There's a reason why they tried to mute Lita getting slut chants and c*nt chanted at her at MSG.

They even tried to ignore it for a while when Matt was fired, but when that didn't work they hired him back and wrote him into the story.

The writers didn't come up with that...they haven't had ideas like that since WCW went under, and even those didn't expose how chaotic or terrible WWE was with managing talent backstage. It made the company look bad because people believed they were siding with an adulterer over a guy who seemed to have done nothing wrong...

except be a simp...
