When the past is better than the present this opinion is invalid. Sometimes you gotta go to the past to make the future better.

Heyman still very much “gets it” if you’ve heard him on podcasts and interviews lately.

For those of us that haven’t heard it can you give some examples? I would love to hear them.

 

[Honga Ciganesta]

Important for Easy E to continue current storylines

And maybe even make them his own by encouraging less PG action between these ladies

 

[MartyMcFly]

Fall bout to be lit

AEW dy-no-mite!

ECW on USA

WWE Thunder Live on FOX

NFL fukkery

[StatUS]

Great for Heyman but last time Bischoff had control it was the worst era of TNA.

Is Vince stepping down from creative?

If so, why have just as old and out of touch people in charge with their own accomplishments is running companies into the ground?

Wrestling needs new minds in charge. This nepotism is how WWE got here in the first place..

Is Breeze bugging for tweeting this like he's not gonna end up on RAW and SD again?

I'm gonna assume that all these old/out of touch comments made by everyone are more directed towards Bischoff.

Heyman might be old, be he definitely isn't out of touch. He's always had his finger on the pulse and been up to date on what's hot in wrestling and society in general.

Not every old wrestler or person involved in wrestling is a Jim Cornette or Ole Anderson. They are plenty of old heads that are hip to the current shyt in wrestling (ie Heyman, Konnan etc)

This really has nothing to do with competition. It's probably have to do the TV companies telling WWE that this product is unacceptable. They where on a crash course for major change to happen.


Granted, Heyman and Eric weren't putting out a good product in the end of their last position as show runners. This could be all for nothing. Triple H should of at least been promoted to Smackdown, but the heat between Vince and HHH is supposedly high.

Well tbh hhh probably is looking more to be the guy who takes over for Vince not the guy who gets all his ideas shot down possibly. He’s part of the family so it would be real awkward to have them at odds . However I’m not sure if Heyman and Bischoff as those 90s competition guys anymore. I’m curious to see how this goes

Also...if I'm not mistaken...many of the GOOD Raws from the past 5-6 years were written by Heyman, or at the very least he had control

 

[Silkk]

nikkas want to run up the negativity to the highest degree now.

Things can only get better with both these guys in charge regardless if they report to Vince.

You won't hear shyt about them having 30 writers and what not.

You think they’re just going to fire all of their writers?

 

[The Rainmaker]

Bischoff: "Come on, Kofi, it's a fresh start, you need to give me your title. You don't want me to get X-rated on camera like your friend Xavier!"

Graves: "Whoa!"

Phillips: "I can't believe he said it"

Crowd: *No reaction at all*

Bischoff: "You don't want me to get X-rated on camera like your friend Xavier!"

Crowd: AEW! AEW!

 

[CBoz]

With Bischoff back on SD maybe he can kick off that HLA angle with Mandy and Sonya. We had a tease already.

Marks running back to the E

Paul Heyman made chicken salad out of chicken shyt with most of the ECW roster..

He did amazingly well with the Smackdown six era.

I'm less enthusiastic about Bischoff
