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

[GR13]

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.

exactly
anybody thinking Heyman and Bischoff are going to come in and have more of a say then Steph and 3H on who gets big pushes and win title's and who gets to be in big angle's

the most power they will most likely have is get someone like EC3,Roode,Gable a mid card push and giveTV presentation ideas (camera view's, stage design, live interview format) shyt like that

Heyman and Bischoff are there provably more so to oversee the day to day running of the show's and be on screen authority figures because even the McMahon's know the McMahon's authority angle's/ feuds are played the fukk out

them nikka's are most likely just avatar's for the McMahon's new creative visions used to get a buzz going

Already advertising them for TV lol. This is going to be the same one trick pony show the McMahon’s/HHH Used on Raw a few months back when they admitted everything sucked and things were going to change. Two weeks later Shane Diddy was back to being all up in the videos.

If the plan (that will obviously change, lol) is for a slow transition period, then they really shouldn't put them on TV right away. If the product is the exact same while they are trying to promote this "huge change" that will happen with Heyman and Bischoff, fans will lose any kind of curiosity they might have as they see that it's the same old shyt.

Basically the same thing that happened early in the year when Vince and the whole family cut that horrible, pandering promo about "change begins now" that a lot of people saw through it and ended up with fans giving up on both shows like they hadn't in a long ass time.

 

[GR13]

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.

-- 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.

so there admitting this Heyman and Bischoff announcement shyt is just a cheap rating pop

and they still plan to be on cruise control until fall when raw has to go head to head with Monday night football and smackdown moves FOX ...that's when they plan to bring out their big angle's/storylines and feuds

so you really should stop watch this shyt into the fall comes and let them summer rating drop even lower

@Lord Scion what say you?

This turned out to be a complete work

I dunno, cuz. Like... There's a marked difference with RAW at bare minimum lately, and Smackdown is... it's being pulled along, but there's no way to know how much change is allowable before what I imagine is gonna be a halfway repackage of the whole show once the transition hits. But like, I feel there's at least been a change with RAW.

I still don't want to watch the shyt, but at least I am more inclined to care about what happened while I'm not paying attention, of late. Funny how easily a tournament with nikkas you want to see have matches can change that. And I stand by believing that's proof of some Heyman influence. Otherwise you got Roman in the tournament facing fukking Bo Dallas in round one and Shane sneaking into the quarter finals off a bye because he books the matches so YOLO. I'm giving Heyman credit until Paul himself tells me he didn't do this, because it's a better reality to live in than thinking Vince got something right on accident and this earns him another 2 years of unmitigated control.

Because that would mean whoever wins the XFL title is gonna get a vanity IC Title run and I ain't trying to deal with that shyt, cuz.

Another note about Smackdown, Bischoff just rejoined the company a couple weeks ago and is getting caught up to speed on the product since he's been out of the picture (at least as far as being on the inside) for years. Don't think there's going to be sweeping changes until the move to Fox

Reportedly, WWE’s creative department has undergone some major changes, according to Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer. Ryan Satin of Pro Wrestling Sheet provided further verification of this breaking news.

Ryan Ward, Smackdown Live’s lead writer will be taking some time away from the company due to unspecific reasons. Ward, took over the position after Steve Guerreri was let go in July. It is worth noting that Smackdown Live has seen several script re-writes as of late.

In a shocking change up, longtime RAW lead writer Ed Koskey will be switching to the blue brand retaining his lead writing status with the company. The former 205 Live writer Jonathan Baeckstrom will be filling the positon of lead writer for RAW.

In addition, sources have confirmed the writing team has officially been split ahead of the company’s debut on FOX. RAW will have Jonathan Baekstrom working under Paul Heyman, while Ed Koskey will be working under Eric Bischoff on Smackdown Live.
