BoboBrazil 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2003 In what is a huge spoiler for this week’s edition of Smackdown, Paul Heyman has just showed up backstage at tonight’s Smackdown taping in Albany, NY and is scheduled to appear on the show. It is expected that he will take on the role of Smackdown General Manager on tonight’s show. I have already heard from a number of people who are there that they were shocked to see Heyman come to the show, in a good, positive way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BoboBrazil 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2003 Yeah, but Steph will get to beat Heyman in a match for GM rights once she comes back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damaramu 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2003 Cool.....here's hoping the shows booking reflects the GM change. I mean that would be stupid to have the shows be booked the EXACT SAME WAY with a new GM. Then again RAW didn't really change with a new GM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest StevieNightHeat Report post Posted October 21, 2003 I thought Vince didnt like Paul Heyman? anyway this is great news, but Steph will probably get her GM spot back when she returns and beats Heyman at the next Smackdown PPV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michrome 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2003 This is a nice surprise. Heyman should add a new flavor to the show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spaceman Spiff 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2003 Shouldn't Heyman be used to manage someone (or a group of someones) to help them get over? It'll be nice to see him back on TV, but there's better ways to use him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest drdrainoscott Report post Posted October 21, 2003 Since Vince is most likely the one that is going to name him the GM, hopefully this will reunite Heyman and Lesnar. That way, even when Steph comes back, Heyman will still be a part of the storylines. Plus, it will make the Lesnar/Beniot (or Gurrerro...yeah right) fued that much more interesting.

DrVenkman PhD 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2003 Wouldn't it suck if this was all a big swerve, Heyman was just backstage to visit old friends? The new GM is Sable or a newly signed Dusty Rhodes (remember back in 2002 when the rumours were Dusty was coming, and WWE.com even put a up his graphic for "WHO WILL THE GM BE?")

Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted October 21, 2003 Shouldn't Heyman be used to manage someone (or a group of someones) to help them get over? It'll be nice to see him back on TV, but there's better ways to use him. That will probably happen after Steph takes back her GM role. Like maybe he was favoring a small group as GM and then he manages them to gather all the titles thus weakening Steph's powers as GM or something...least that's what I would do if I was writing and knew that Steph would have to be given her GMing duties back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest webmasterofwrestlegame Report post Posted October 21, 2003 While it may be cool he is back as GM, that doesn't mean he is writing the shows or anything - they may still be pretty mundane. Afterall, you can polish a turd all you want, but at the end of the day... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michrome 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2003 Seeing as Hogan supposedly hasn't signed a contract with TNA yet, it would be badass if WWE signed him away as the GM. Man, I would laugh my ass off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Si82 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2003 Hooray for the return of Paul Heyman to my TV screen. Even if the guy is now simply a "creative consultant" at least he is an entertaining on-screen performer. Providing he does come back on Smackdown. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
