Latest On Paul Heyman's Backstage WWE Role

[EdwardKnoxII 0]

Heyman apparently giving up...

 

Word is that Paul Heyman has been much more diplomatic in dealing with WWE politics since his return. Of course, many feel the reason for that is because he no longer cares much about the creative side of WWE and has sort of given up on trying to get them to see things his way. He is still putting 100% into his on air character, but has more or less put his hands up when it comes to the creative side.

Some WWE news items...

 

- Many in WWE are worried that the company will cut talent and workers in January following the holidays.

 

- WWE has taken extremely high security measures for their shows in Iraq. Most WWE workers don't even know when or where the Smackdown taping (edition of Smackdown which will air on Christmas night) will take place. With such a hostile area, these security measures are needed.

Can't say I blame him.

You know Vince was happy about that.

If I were Vince, I'd at least listen to some of his ideas. Because me being Vince, my latest ideas pretty much suck ass.

Well we know they're not resigning Dustin so who else do you think the fed might cut?

I'd keep my eyes on Stevie Richards & Tommy Dreamer.

 

Richards has nothing going except the Stevie Night Heat gimmick Stephanie wanted to axe when she first saw it 2 months after it started.

 

Dreamer is doing nothing period.

Seeing as how Steph didn't know anything about the angles on Heat I bet that if Stevie and Tommy do get cut they could still go and wrestle on Heat and none of higher ups would know it.

[Guest StevieNightHeat]

WWE will also probably cut Rhyno.

I think they might cut Ultimo Dragon. Lord knows they're not doing anything with him.

[2GOLD 0]

I'd say Scotty 2 Hotty, Tommy Dreamer, Kanyon, Stevie and Jazz will get cut

 

Rhyno is back on TV so I doubt they cut him.

 

Too bad they can't cut loose that dead weight Zach Gowen, but they can't risk the lawsuit.

I don't think they're going to cut Scotty 2 Hotty. I mean he's just got back and they're giving him and Risksi (sp?) a decent push. Hell I have a feeling sooner or later they will hold the SD tag titles.

I haven't seen Scotty lately so I wasn't sure if he was still wrestling with Rikishi.

Last time I saw him, he BEAT Rhyno on Velocity.

I think WWE will also cut Spike Dudley. What happened to Spike anyway? he's never on RAW anymore.

He's been working house shows, I guess there's no spot on TV for him yet. He seemed fine at my house show, I believe it was his return match. I was surprised to see him and by the grace of God, he defeated Test.

[Lightning Flik 0]

Test is supposedly in the doghouse (forgot the reason), so that's probably why Spike won.

[Guest JMA]

I wish Bradshaw would get cut. But he won't.

Scotty and Rikishi are pissed (to equal or lesser value) because Cat has taken their spot on SD! Word is Vince says there is only room for one dancing act on SD!

I'd give Norman Smiley the dancing spot on raw and La Parka the smackdown one.

TSM would have a field day with this topic if you replaced Heyman's name with "Triple H".
