Paul Heyman and Eric Bischoff named Executive Directors of Raw and SmackDown, respectively.

holy shit is Vince desperate already

Yes. He brought out the nukes.

I mean like none of it is going to matter when Vince rewrites the show on Monday

At least he didn't bring back Russo.

Is Bischoff any better? I really don't think so.

I have much more faith in Heyman, but Bischoff might not be too bad given the proper tools.

He has killed 2 companies....maybe he can change though if they keep Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan far the **** away.

I think Heyman can do a great job if Vince leaves him the **** alone. We know that's not going to happen though. LMAO

Sort of surprised it isn't the other way around though. I think Heyman would have a better chance of writing and producing a more 'sports' oriented show than Eric.

Heyman would of told vince he wanted script control to sign on.

It all depends on if either of them are given any autonomy. Heyman got some during the Smackdown 6 period and it was glorious. But I don't see Vince giving up the death grip quite yet. They already have a really good roster but the writing/Vince doesn't let anyone become a star. It's all 50/50 booking and putting Shane over.

Bischoff basically signed a bunch of top notch talent and had 1 great idea......

But at the end of the day he's a name so that's what they're going for.

He also transformed WCW into the powerhouse it was in the late 1990s in the first place with acts like the NWO and Goldberg. The guy has good ideas.

I got it, lets bring back Nash to head the booking team.

That he promptly drove into the ground and killed. Went to TNA years later and drove that company into the ground, too.

Great ideas like having Mic Foley fight a cardboard cutout, or letting Steve Austin walk right out the door.

I think he was a great mind for wrestling at one point, but that one point of time has came and gone.

I'd have tried to get Cornette for Smackdown. That dude would probably turn it into a massive success out of pure spite for most of AEWs top brass.
