Atticus Chaos 0 Report post Posted July 22, 2007 PWInsider.com confirmed last night that Court Bauer, who had most recently been working on the Smackdown creative team, gave notice and left World Wrestling Entertainment last week. The story going around the company is that once Dusty Rhodes moved onto working on the ECW brand, Bauer and Michael Hayes were often at odds creatively. After being frustrated for some time, Bauer finally decided to give notice and finished up last week. A similar situation with Hayes took place involving former Smackdown creative team member Andrew Goldstein. Goldstein was given a lot of credit internally for helping to turn the Smackdown brand around last year, only to be dropped with little warning by the company after butting heads with Hayes on creative issues. Goldstein now works as a TV producer for several MTV series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Hasbeen2 Report post Posted July 22, 2007 Just because they disagreed doesn't mean Hayes drove them away. I have to tape Smackdown to watch it normally but I almost always do so I have to be enjoying what I'm seeing. I don't think that's going to stop no matter how much talent is removed and sent to Raw.
