Exclusive: Paul Heyman and Eric Bischoff Named WWE Executive Directors, Will Run WWE TV

[The Rainmaker]

Why is he dressed as Ash Ketchum. Jeezus Christ, I'm dying

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

I don't know who any of these people are.

I see the njpw logo on the first pic so I can already tell you njpw isn't really character driven which is what WWE programming is.

The other two probably don't even know what to do with a major Network timeslot.

Mike Quackenbush (the guy with the hat), actually helped NXT talent and the direction of the characters for a spell. Nick Gage (the psychopath in the chair), would have a network go off the air

Eric Bischoff was the GOAT GM

bunch of old nikkas from the 90s aew ain't even on tv yet and they applying pressure

They had to do something. The product was worse than ever, record low ratings, record low attendance and a competitor that's coming with a TV show and selling out ppvs in minutes.

The news was out about the many wrestlers refusing to resign new contracts, that's a panic button and a half but one which gets me interested. Heyman booking was prime wrestling for me. Nothing beat ECW at its finest BUTTTT, they need to get rid of the PG tag or all of this is semi irrelevant

Bischoff makes sense for the Fox deal given his business savvy, although I’m still surprised he’s the one helming that since it’s supposed to be such a big deal.

Heyman, I’m wondering what his motivations are. Unless they threw him the bag or stock options or something, I can’t see why he’d do it. That guy was miserable as fukk by the time of/because of the ECW reboot because of the creative process in WWE, why repeat history when you know how it’ll end

He's a savvy dude, so I'm thinking he asked those questions up front. He's been adamant that any promotion that hires him has to let him do his thing.

With fall approaching and unprecedented TV deals on the table, along with the XFL launch around the corner, Vince is either going to swallow his pride and get help or spread himself thin while all of it fails. History has shown that with the right amount of pressure applied, Vince will defer. Maybe Heyman sees that same writing on the wall and conversations were had.

If so, that's the only way all this will work. I hope that's the case because at the very least things won't be stale anymore. And there's too much ego in the company to just sit down and take it while AEW is over on TNT doing their thing every Wednesday.

Wrestling wars back

That aint ever going away anymore, no matter how bad things get.

Imagine you been in a coma for over 25 years and you wake up to see Paul E Dangerously and this announcer here are the lead creative in WWE and this Saturday Night Jobber is running WWE basically

 

[Redguard]

Cokeboy is so shook of either of these dudes working with AEW that he signed both to run his shytty TV programming

AEW like tool up:

 

[The Ruler 09]

Paul Heyman's a guy who would be an asset to any company, AEW or WWE. If he's given some degree of creative freedom with a big budget it could be dope. Whether it happens or not is the question. The prospect of Paul in AEW was exciting, in that format he probably could have delivered some great stuff, with WWE I'm not sure, he'll for sure be more creatively restricted, he won't be able to do what he wants, it's whether he can mould something exciting and make some real changes. 1 of the best things about Paul is he is more in touch than people would think of a man his age, he stays ahead of the curve in many areas because he knows it gives him an edge creatively and so he can keep on the pulse of things. He actually is a genius. He's 1 of the great promos too, his work recently on that side hasn't been as stellar because Brock has been a stale act so the whole package is stale, Brock just seems pointless to me because we know he isn't really gonna pay it off with great matches anymore, it's the same shyt show. So everything around him feels repetitive and stale, if he's gonna stay he needs a reset I feel, at least a logical reason why he's focussed now and ready to give it his all, maybe he could have a match and lose to somebody, maybe an up and coming talent, then he comes out next week and Paul sells how embarrassed he was and how he's a new Brock Lesnar now, how he's been slacking and happy collecting a pay check but now he's he's got the determination and hunger back to be the best ever like he did in the beginning and in MMA etc and wreak destruction upon everybody in his past. And then from there see tangible changes, having proper matches in big matches, can still squash some people quickly in devastating fashion but the big matches more often than not less formular and laziness and actually had great matches. Make him fresh and dangerous again.

Nothing's gonna happen really in WWE with the 50/50 booking bullshyt too, it stifles the talent. You can't advance if you keep getting pulled back, 1 step forward 2 step backs shyt. They need a philosophy change, Paul is great but it's all in how much power he really has.

 

[Redguard]

Like many have said in here already I will give this 6 months and both will quit.
