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

[White City Black]

This could potentially be a very good thing. Bischoff I assume got SD because he’s obviously better with dealing directly with big TV execs and what not. Heyman’s always been more the creative mind than business.

Vince may actually fall back “enough” though (Thanks, XFL). We’ll see

"I swear to Gawd I won't appear as a on-camera authority figure"

(Two weeks later)

Always was some fukkery once that theme hit

 

[TheGreatShowtime]

That's actually a really good observation

And its sad he's content with putting out overtly crappy product as long as there's no competition

I forgot who said it, maybe Meltzer, but someone said Vince basically didn't take the WCW "wrasslin" competition/threat seriously, and it almost put him out of business. He's set on not making that same mistake again.

 

[Da King]

Not a damn thing going to change

 

[Silkk]

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

This is exactly what this is.

 

[BrehWyatt]

It doesn't matter how sharp the mind is, if it has to report to Vince McMahon at the end of the day.

It would be much better news if they had autonomy/the buck stopped with them.

Nevertheless, cautious optimism.

 

[Silkk]

I want to get hyped but the last time both guys had the book we got ECW 2006 and TNA 2010. Hopefully they've learned from their mistakes.

That was all Vince breh. That’s why Heyman left. Dude wanted to push Punk from the start and it took Vince dumb ass 5 years to “get it” smh

 

[Breh Obama]

This doesn't mean a fukking thing.

Vince will always have the final say

 

[Sghost597]

So they basically gonna be Commissioners/GMs/Sheriffs/Etc. huh


If real change was coming then I would think HHH would be the guy to lead it.

Idk... There is a lot of rumors of there being heat between Vince and HHH over the last 2 months with the product completely bottoming out.

 

[Homer Simpson]

This is interesting but they need someone else on the top because the problems are even deeper than that. Their booking is flawed at the most fundamental level.

Wasn't there a thread about this a while ago

Lol cmon breh

 

[Brad Piff]

Haha at whoever thinks fox can pull the billion dollar deal

This wasn’t your average scripted tv show deal. Vinny Mac already secured the bag.

 

[dbp]

Nothing will change. Absolutely nothing. Mark my words.

Vince needs to either die or legally hand over the keys to someone else completely.

Infact, with him tied up with the XFL, things will be even worse, because he'll barge in last minute and make his asinine changes, except he'll be even more out of touch with how they fit in the to the current product because he's even more detached from it.

Paul and Bischoff will have podcast fodder for months after this goes sour.

It's way beyond anything to do with who's in what position. It's a personality issue with Vince, and unless he gets a lobotomy or unless AEW really takes off, he will never, ever, ever change.

Nah. This isn’t for on screen roles. They’ll be full time executives. In tv terms, they’ll be the show runners

Yeah....sure, lets see
