Some SD News.
from PWInsider.com:
WWE management was blindsided by Smackdown lead writer Alex Greenfield giving notice that he was leaving the creative team to pursue several projects in Hollywood that had been in development prior to his joining WWE.
Greenfield had written a horror film titled "Midnight Movie" that is about to start pre-production in California. I am told Greenfield recently had another film script greenlit for development as well. Those projects will require him to work full-time out of Los Angeles, logistically making it impossible for to work on the weekly grind of WWE programming and be on the road traveling for TV tapings.
The McMahons were said not to be happy about the news but the word going around is that because Greenfield was upfront about leaving and the reasons why, the door remains open for his return down the line. Greenfield will finish up with the company this week, possibly as early as this week's TV tapings. At this point, Michael Hayes will be heading up the Smackdown creative team.
I know little of Hayes' booking ways. Is him taking over good or bad?
