Heyman at RAW; Part of the writing team?

[Xero]

We have breaking news from RAW as Paul Heyman is in Wichita Falls, TX and is now a part of the RAW writing team.

We have no further details as of this time other than David Lagana remains the head writer for the Smackdown team and Brian Gewirtz remains head writer for Raw.

We'll have more as it develops.

To quote JR: "Things are about to pick up!"

Sweet. Why not SD though?

[Astley316]

prolly cause vince still views raw as the superior brand and if any show is going to get the heyman shakeup then its going to be raw

[Chavo Classic]

Put the dude on SD writing team, it needs him more.

Wait a minute. If heyman is going to be with the Raw crew, Heindreich's push is killed :)

Which wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing, but would make WWE look like fools again.

[Splaya]

Fools for a week vs Fools for the 3 months Heidenreich would be on TV

Week > 3 months

[Jonster]

Good point.

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Rhyno's gonna be pushed to the moon. To the moon I tell ya!

[Azriel]

So, is he going to have a TV role on SD while being the RAW writer?

[The CyNick]

He's not heading the RAW writing team or anything. In all likelyhood he will just sit in on the booking meetings and pitch ideas like he was a few months back.

Its nothing to get excited about. Steph is still in charge, and she's still married to HHH. Taker still works for the WWE. Hollywood hack writers A and B are still the heads of RAW and SD, so very little will change.

Now they just have a new guy to blame when business doesn't go up in the ext two months. Who knows, maybe Heyman might get fired after this is all said and done.

Paul Heyman Returns Backstage As Member of Creative Team
Posted By Ashish on 09.06.04

Big news from backstage.....

Paul Heyman was backstage at RAW tonight. He told people that he was there to present new ideas, will work RAW again next week, but that he was a member of the Smackdown writing team.

This seems to indicate that Heyman is keeping his exact role to himself, or that he actually doesn't know what his exact role will be.

Speculation had come up regarding Heyman returning to the creative team with the recent release of Tom Prichard and hiatus of Bruce Prichard, as well as the recent low ratings for RAW and Smackdown.

Dave Lagana remains the head writer of Smackdown with Brian Gewirtz as the head writer of RAW.

Heyman is part of the SD writing team. He is just a pitch man on Raw though.

Heyman isnt part of the SD writing team, he was kicked off months ago...
