>WWE has been pursuing Heyman to come on board officially in their corporate circles as far back as February, PWInsider.com can exclusively confirm. An offer was issued to Heyman to come on board full-time as a top member of the creative team around the same time Bruce Prichard was brought back as a Senior Vice President but the conversations were slow in progressing. Heyman had been working on certain storylines and with certain talents, including Ronda Rousey, Brock Lesnar, Alexa Bliss and many others dating back far before that point. He's been in the inner circle when it comes to the creative process for some time without an official title. He and WWE have been circling around this deal for a long time and finally came to terms recently.
>The Eric Bischoff deal came together within the last several weeks. Bischoff has been working on pre-production of the planned Netflix Hulk Hogan biography film and had a slew of personal appearances booked. Over the last week, he quietly began canceling those appearance dates, so that is likely when he came to official terms with WWE. We are told he will be working directly with FOX as WWE builds their relationship with Smackdown's new home. To say this is a massive return to form for Bischoff is a grand understatement. We are told that WWE approached him about the role and that his previous work in collaborating with Turner Broadcasting. Spike and other networks in building past TV series was one of the reasons Bischoff was pitched for the position.
Fucking kek. Heyman's been a part of creative since February and literally nothing has changed. They've been setting record lows in attendance and ratings. It's not going to get better, you're just going to get more of what you've been getting since February.
So he's been in position longer, when they were also setting record low ratings and record low attendance figures?

Just wait until they realise every decision they make has to be run through 57 people and McBoomer and let's see how long before they quit or are moved on.

Publicly traded corporation, beholden to legion of advertisers, with an army of middlemen forming a bureaucracy of boomers headed by an almighty crazy boomer who thinks everything they do IS SUCH GOOD SHIT.
Nothing can change under their corporate structure. Same old shit. WWE is shit.
Heyman's been a part of creative for a long time now, only unofficially and while he's been a part of creative, WWE drew their lowest ever crowds for a PPV, Raw and Smackdown in 3 straight days.

RAW SPOILERS:
>We're sorry RAW has been so bad again. It was Paul Heyman's fault. Paul Heyman has been fired as Executive Director of Monday Night RAW. We always listen to our fans. RAW is going to be better now. Thank you.
If you are complaining about Yea Forums being overly cynical and shitting on everything then YOU are the redditfag. Yea Forums is cynicism at its core and if you can't handle it go back to your "fair" hivemind circlejerk.
He's literally just a A&W employee now. If he actually cared about being a journalist and breaking stories he would have shared some of the info about AEW he's gotten from his buddies but he drips it out at exactly the pace that they tell him to like the good little bitch he is.
Any legacy the moron might have one had it completely disgraced at this point.
Andrew Cooper
You know I think this is good. Let's be honest if Vince does nothing you hate him. If Vince chooses someone you hate them. I mean the list of who he is going to choose to make decisions is a short one headed by his name 3 times. But who else could it be? Haitch? Steph? Or one of these two? It's not going to be Bischoff or Heyman ever because Vince is Vince and he squashed the both of them for a reason. But it's good that he is at least bring them back into the fold. At least he realizes that he has to do something and the product isnt what it should be. For a stubborn old man who hates sneezing you have to take that as a victory. At best this provides some new direction for both shows and a clear distinction. At worst it means that Vince can blame someone else if it fails before finally conceding to Haitch. And that's the thing. If I'm Haitch this is sort of a subtle middle finger to me. This is a "Not yet" moment that can be frustrating and itll be interesting to see what eh does. But potentially NXT, Smack and RAW all feel different.

straight males tend to find females attractive user. I know it's hard for you to understand since you're a queer and straight people things make you seethe but you really need to get over yourself and realize straight people are more over in life than you. now go seethe queer
Carter Price
I cannot wait for more ten minute promos from Bischoff bragging about how great Smackdown is whenever the ratings show a 0.1% bump, to an empty arena.

You wouldn't chase her, because you know she'd turn you down. (As she would me.) The point is, you're fucking retarded saying she's not hot.
Evan Stewart
No, she doesn't. Objectively.
Camden Roberts
I posted elsewhere that I want to like it, but they fucked up right out of the gate by putting Heyman on Raw, and Bish on Smack. Should be the other way around.
Gavin Hughes
mayeb you're right, she looks more like a pale hobgoblin or something like that
Smackdown is going to FOX so it needs someone like Bisch. RAW needs to still feel like the top show despite that so they get Heyman
Zachary Morgan
I dont use reddit since they got rid of the old layout for that new faggot keep scrolling down one. I prefered my plebbit going page by page but nah it's not broken so fix it stuff. but adorable you get so triggered over what people say you reply in seethe GO BACK! weak numale queer plebbit is more your speed with safe spaces and people that say things you dont like you can down vote them. maybe you should GO THERE lil queer but based on what you picked to seethe over it's obvious your a street shitter and upset and triggered. go fuck a goat while praising the pedo mohammad you ugly poo in the loo shitter

Aiden Garcia
The only reason why I truly believe nothing will change is simple.
Vince will still have final say on everything.
Thomas Nguyen
I remember Heyman saying before he'd never be a booker for WWE again unless Vince gave him creative control. I wonder if that's the case here, or if they just handed him a huge fuck ton of money and he thought "fuck it"
If he has complete control there, it could be something really good. I've always been a fan of Paul as a booker.
Im excited about what Bischoff is gonna do. Heyman never impressed me, all talk and underdog/underground image that made him an "icon". Ecw was really overrated and smackdown too.

WWE always says things will change but they never will, when will people just accept it and move on?
Logan Adams
Taking bets on how long it will before we see our first "Now that the dust has settled, what went wrong?" thread when absolutely none of this changes anything in WWE.
Based Bisch gonna put his former cable network in its place.
Anthony Adams
>get paid millions to literally do nothing because your boss micromanages
He doesn't give a shit anymore, neither does Bischoff. These niggas probably got a whole bunch of money and company stock just to take these positions. Both have said many times that they don't want to work in creative, and yet, suddenly took it in a very desperate time for WWE. This means that Vince got pissed and just offered them everything he could to salvage this shit, without realizing that he's the actual problem.
Joseph Williams
Bischoff: >Let's bring back factions! Heyman: >Let's bring back violence and swearing! Vince: >No.
give it 6-9 months, that'll be the time when heyman and/or bischoff quit after having their ideas constantly thrown out or rewritten by the old man
Liam Wright
>If Bischoff is elected Smackdown GM, he will make your 2014 Dolph Ziggler heel stable leader real again! I haven't watched WWE in years but if this is real I'll start watching Smackdown again, for real. When can we expect changes to be made? I don't intend to start watching only to see the same shit over and over again.

Bischoff makes a lot of sense to build relations with smackdown, considering how shit WCW was 93, he managed to somehow turn things around for the company. His biggest contributions will be the financial side and maybe as a on air talent, he isn't particularly amazing at creative and relied on the bookers.
David Smith
Yea Forums is a pedochad board newfriend
Lincoln Torres
Expect smaller venue's for Smackdown, Eric is big on the look and feel of the product then raw gate. He'd rather sell out a 1000 seat arena then get 1500 sales from a bigger one.
Noah Smith
Theyre starting straight away but i'll imagine it'll be a few PPVs before Vince's current '''storylines''' are concluded and replaced
Chase Cook
he's gonna book arenas? BASED
Isaac Moore
pretty sure 1000 seaters are called bingo halls, not arenas
Aiden Ross
It's cute you think Eric or Paul will be the ones making decisions like that.
