Update on Paul Heyman's future in WWE

[Kurt Angle Mark 0]

Paul Heyman will remain with WWE despite quitting on the air last night. The current plan is for him to return as an on-air manager, although the details of his role has yet to be determined.

 

His return to the air could eventually lead to him taking a group of wrestlers away from WWE and forming ECW as part of a storyline, but our sources say that is not in the plans right now. It has been talked about, but isn't written into definite storylines at this point. As a manager, though, he may end up managing wrestlers with an ECW history to at least plant the seeds for a potential split-off down the line.

Good. A slow burn to the ECW angle is better than 'well, I got fired, so I'll rehire all my old workers for no apparent reason."

Interesting. I wonder if he'd manage on RAW or Smackdown.

 

So this really _was_ just a way to get Stephanie back on TV.

[Downhome 0]

Good, this is how it should be done.

 

Slow and easy, no need to rush things right now.

It's a better way to do it...but sadly a faster way to get Steph back on TV

[Guest Brian]

Heyman needs to do a Jerry McGuire.

He was drafted from Smackdown and quit on Raw. He's a man without a country by God!

Let him manage the old cocky heel RVD on Smackdown. Finally, Van Dam can flourish in a Triple H free environment!

 

Wait, HHH got drafted to where? FUCK!

[Guest Your Olympic Hero]

Interesting. I wonder if he'd manage on RAW or Smackdown.

I'm guessing Raw, since that's where he got drafted.

 

He could manage a heel stable of... Tajiri, heel turned The Dudleys, Stevie Richards, and I wish I could say a heel turned RVD, but he's on Smackdown.

[Guest OctoberBlood]

Could be interesting. A ECW group recking havoc on the WWE~!1

 

Wait..

 

Well, it could work the 2nd time around. Right?

Add Rhyno to that group and we've got a good stable.

[Guest THE MIGHTY THOR]

Well i guess that instead of watching RVD getting buried on mondays, i'll watch him getting buried on thursdays. One more thing if Heyman is planning on creating a stable of former ECW wrestlers w/o RVD then i already know this shit isn't going to work out, can't have ECW w/o one of the most over guys to ever come out of that federation.

Heyman should have stayed on RAW and been the 3rd commentator and then quit after he couldn't take the abuse from Lawler and JR every week.

 

That would have been awesome.

Sounds DA-ish in a way. I like it.

 

 

"Man this Dangerous Alliance thing is LAAAAME. It is obviously a ripoff of DX and the nWo."

[Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes]

Wow, a quick banning there. I didn't even notice.

 

 

 

And we DONT WANT ECW!

[Guest Boomer Sprinklespax]

Wow, a quick banning there. I didn't even notice.

 

 

 

And we DONT WANT ECW!

I do.

[Youth N Asia 0]

If they brought in more ECW guys then I would be for it. But if it's all WWE guys who used to be in ECW then who cares

[Guest Coffey]

Paul Heyman will remain with WWE despite quitting on the air last night

 

Well thank God we got that cleared up. /sarcasm.

[Youth N Asia 0]

Hells yeah, I thought it was a shoot!

[Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes]

Wow, a quick banning there. I didn't even notice.

 

 

 

And we DONT WANT ECW!

I do.

I can't wait for the ECW Velocity Main Event: Spike Dudley © vs. Nunzio

 

That'll put butts in the seats.

[Guest I Got Banned for Sucking]

Let's just hope that WWE don't fuck this up, ala their biggest show ever.

[Guest Deebo]

I would say the WWE shouldn't really wait it out with this and take it slow. They are not likely to keep getting the ratings they got last week, so they need to capitalize on it.

[Dangerous A 0]

Good, this is how it should be done.

 

Slow and easy, no need to rush things right now.

Hopefully it's so slow that it never happens.

 

 

I would rather have no ECW than a watered down, half-assed, neutered version of it. If you think Vince will let Heyman have the control he needs to run his vision of ECW, you are all smoking fat rocks.

[Guest I Got Banned for Sucking]

Why not let Vince take care of the immediate WWE and Paul Heyman WWE's () ECW branch.

 

Oh, hang on... that might work... sorry.

[Adam 0]

Yeah, wouldn't want anything briliant on TV, would we.

[Guest I Got Banned for Sucking]

It's rather ironic that the most brilliant professional wrestling promoter in the world finds unfunny and sad scenarios both funny and not sad.

 

Now that's funny and sad.

[Guest netslob]

well, it put at least one ass in a messageboard.
