BREAKING: SmackDown LIVE has new headwriter
 
Quote:

The new headwriter of SmackDown Live "The A-Show" is now ROAD DOGGIE DOGG, replacing Ryan Ward, who has been the head-writer since the brand split. Ward's run has been well-received by many wrestling fans.

Welp there goes A good show

#BROKEN Hasney 01-24-2017 09:35 AM

Eh, people were saying from the start of December that Road Dogg was doing most of the creative. It might not be that bad.

Ryan Ward has to be going to Raw, surely.

slik 01-24-2017 09:44 AM

Ryan Ward was previously headwriter of NXT during the Finn Balor era before being brought to SD so he does seem "good" at what he does.

Road Dogg Def AJ Styles (C) by countout when AJ Styles ran out of the ring to call somebody and was counted out.

All of a sudden, Billy Gunn and R-Truth are going to get monster pushes.

The Revival probably won't be on Smackdown Live now.

Emperor Smeat 01-24-2017 05:41 PM

Assuming he's going to a new brand, wouldn't be surprised if Ward goes back to NXT like the last time he go demoted. NXT still hasn't fully recovered from the Draft raiding too many of its developing stars.

Don't think he'd be as successful if he moved to RAW mainly because Vince is a lot more hands-on with the brand.

UN-BREAKING: The Meltz says Ryan Ward is still head writer of smackdown. Road Dogg has a new title but the same job, and the two continue to co-write smackdown.

slik 01-26-2017 09:15 AM

huh

I read the latest observer and didn't see him mentioning Ryan Ward still being headwriter...maybe I missed that

#BROKEN Hasney 01-26-2017 09:36 AM

I didn't read it, but that's what's being regurgitated.

Quote:

According to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, rumors of Ryan Ward replacing Brian “Road Dogg” James as the head writer of WWE Smackdown are not exactly true, as James was actually given a recent promotion in the company. James’ new roll in WWE is something along the lines of head consultant, although the exact job title has yet to be confirmed.

James and Ryan Ward are responsible for pitching scripts to Vince McMahon for his approval, at which point Vince re-writes the shows as he sees fit. James is also the person who reads the scripts to the other creative team members, a job that he has been doing for quite sometime now.

With James’ recent promotion, he is technically above Ryan Ward now, however Ward retains the title of Smackdown head writer, and him and James basically share co-head writing responsibilities.

With regards to Brian James’ future in WWE, he said to be someone who will be a big backstage power broker when Triple H eventually takes over control of WWE, and will be somewhat of Triple H’s envoy in the company.

I could have missed that tbh, I really only scanned the observer for WM33 HOT SCOOPS yesterday

hb2k 01-26-2017 11:18 AM

It is in the Observer, top of the WWE news subsection I think...

Road Doggy Dogg had a twitter beef with them called them disrespectful. It might have been smoothed over though.

Anybody Thrilla 01-27-2017 03:57 AM

I'd like to know what that was all about.

#BROKEN Hasney 01-27-2017 03:32 PM

It's dumb as shit, Revival were acting arrogant. Road Dogg got worked.

Anybody Thrilla 01-27-2017 03:54 PM

Were they being arrogant or were they kayfabing as heels?

Simple Fan 01-27-2017 03:58 PM

Rather have DIY on Smackdown anyway. Revival seem like more of a Raw team anyway.

Anybody Thrilla 01-27-2017 04:17 PM

The Revival would get The Club treatment on Raw.

KIRA 01-27-2017 05:02 PM

Well there goes SD live's run as the show to watch.

This is a guy who thinks wins and losses don't matter because its all staged

Somebody tell that to Goldberg's career and current run.

Mr. Nerfect 01-28-2017 02:13 AM

I doubt much will change.
