Paul Heyman and Eric Bischoff to run WWE TV
https://www.si.com/wrestling/2019/06...-vince-mcmahon
If this is true, then things could definitely be turning around. Also could see this being a proactive move to stop them from going to AEW |

I doubt the solution to the future is in 1996 but I applaud them for making a genuine effort.
If these are legit creative roles and not onscreen heel figures just a reminder it all still funnels thru Vince at the end of the day, both won't exactly have free creative reign. |

Vince has finally gotten with the times and realized the Attitude Era doesn't need to be rehashed anymore. So now he's rehashing the Ruthless Aggression Era.
When are Rico, Rodney Mack, and Candice Michelle returning? |

While I am skeptical since Vince has final creative say and that hasn't been a good thing for a long time -- I do hope this ends the 'Wild Card Era' and we get definitive rosters again.

All depends on how much reign they have. A fresh take can be good, but can also be bad.... Heyman has at least been in the business recently, whereas Bischoff has just been doing the podcast and personal appearance loops....

And we're meant to believe that Micromanaging Vince still won't have the final say? Doubting it.

If they can run the shows with their own vision but with Vince’s final say it could be huge. I think the problem may be the PG environment.

Vince's final say and micromanaging is what will make it a waste of time, if they had full control to do what they wanted for a few weeks we might see some results. What have they to lose in the long run? Can't be any worse than the shit wwe have been pumping out for an age.

Remember that awful millennial promo that Ronda cut about Becky Lynch who is two days OLDER than Ronda?
That was Heyman's idea. Doesn't inspire me with a lot of hope that Heyman himself isn't a bit out of touch, but we'll see. |

Ronda still had to deliver it, which wasn't her strength. If someone wrote "do you smell what I'm cooking?" in a promo for The Great Khali...

I understand that. But I'm just not sure cutting a promo about somebody's age makes a lot of sense in that scenario.

I will say, this "wild card" shit isn't gonna work if Heyman and Bischoff intend on having two completely different feels for their shows.
Here's hoping they go back to enforcing the split. |

I kind of feel like long-term this will fail, because I can't see Vince all of a sudden handing all this creative power to both and resisting the urge to re-write all of RAW and SDLive at the last minute instead.
Likely just another chapter in 'The Death of WWE' book for Bryan Alvarez. |
