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

[Bonefan32]

So they pulling the trigger immediately with this.

already

Even though they advertising those matches, maybe they gonna have Heyman & Bischoff change them up at the start of the shows

 

[Yade]

They should make all the championships default and let dudes like Seth and drew stay in the mid card , they’re terrible man and fukking boring

 

[Jello Biafra]

That's a lot of wasted salary just so VKM doesn't have to take the blame anymore for WWE's horrible product because VKM will still be calling the shots and Vince approved dogshyt will still be the majority of what ends up on TV.
Paul and Eric are yes men par excellence.

 

[Francis White]

I would’ve loved this at one point, but...

1.I have no faith either will have significant control, I’m expecting both guys will just have some input in a room full of others with say.

2.Bischoff sounds like he’s checked out and doesn’t care about pushing the envelope or anything now.


MOST IMPORTANTLY

3.Bischoff, Heyman, and Russo made wrestling more exciting and changed the business for the better in the 90s. Wrestling needs their 2019 equivalents, NOT actual Bischoff, Heyman, and Russo. These guys are all 60 or close to it and just wont understand how to get kids or teens these days to watch and get excited about the show.

See you missing the point. Why market it to kids? Kids are the last people I would do shyt for . I want that adult male buying merchandise and stuff. Kids buy the video games and root for Cena who is no longer there. Don’t tell me Roman is for the kids because kids think he is boring.

 

[BK The Great]

This smells like pure desperation them two guys are geniuses but their time has passed. Unless Heyman brings back his creativity from his ECW days otherwise this won't work out they way they want it to. Crazy how it took AEW's semi success in just a few months to change the guard in WWE. They are really on the ropes right now.

 

[Mikael Blowpiff]

Maybe Heyman can make Seth CAWlins interesting

 

[The Rainmaker]

There are two ways of seeing things

 

[CBoz]

Those ads are all just dark matches to get you to show up, likely only one will even happen after the show.

 

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

Not even a mention of reigns in the promotion. I feel like Vince really moving on since dude has cancer and could be out at anytime

The never ending negative reactions had to clue him in eventually too. They were legit making the entire rest of the roster and show as bad as possible to try propping him up and it was still flopping.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

a lot of dirt sheets are saying that even though they are previewing Heyman and Bischoff they aren't actually going to take over control this week.

They said it’s gonna be a “slow transition” period.

Meaning I won’t see shyt going to effect until after “Extreme Rules” or after “Summerslam.”

And they shouldn’t have Heyman or Bischoff be on screen characters IMO. But if they are, they should only show up when it’s needed. For example, the way they treat William Regal’s GM role on NXT. He’s not a heel or face. He is just the authority figure that steps in when needed to bring order.

If they want to make this shyt exciting, the night after Summerslam they should bring back the draft and have Heyman and Bischoff choose their superstars. It’ll be their way of “starting from scratch.”

But we’ll see..

 

[Max.]

-- PWInsider.com is also reporting that the two are already on officially "on the job" and that their ideas and contributions will be implemented over a period of time rather than immediately so there isn't expected to be any massive overnight changes.

Exactly. Roman hurt the company more than superstar has in 30 years. The man has zero charisma. Every year was dedicated to his coronations.
Flop feuds:
Undertaker at mania was a disgrace,
Seth saved mania with the cash in.
The most disgusting match he ever had was with Lashley were Lashley gave up his spot at mania that he rightfully won and shook Romans hand at the end .

Because kids are the future superfans and lifelong fans after we die out lol they have to build that fanbase. I don't think making super safe programming is working especially when kids have youtube, social media, and anything else at the click of a screen or mouse. Hell my 10 year old nephew was asking me about CZW recently
