Oh God Dammit!!!! Heyman removed from booking team
Major Writing Team shake-up sees Paul Heyman removed from team...
» Reported by Ryan Allen of WrestleView.com » On Friday, December 3, 2004 at 3:37 PM EST -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Just a few minutes ago the decision was made to remove Paul Heyman. There have been no other details released as of yet, other then the fact that the removal was something that had been building and was not due to one specific incident. Interestingly enough, in September, the ratings were at the lowest point in the show's history, and within 2 months, the ratings were at the highest level in more than a year, yet Heyman has been removed.

That's stupid if it's true. Especially if he is kept on a censored leash, he can do wonderous things with talent, and the basic layout for the show.
I really wish the writing teams would split into two, be given independence and are kept 100% seperate from anyone who isn't Vince McMahon or some part of management. |

![]() I remember back in the days when he had full control of Smackdown. It was great. Then he got removed from the position because he wanted the WWE title and NOT the Vince/Mr. America fued to be the centre of the show. ![]() |

Another brillient move Vince! You see Paul was coming up with interesting storylines that didn't involve "Bawh Gawd Stunners!", your son-in-law or your grapefruits...so yeah...clearly needs to be done away with.

But anyway, Heyman had some great ideas, and was gold on the mic. Hopefully they stop trying to put a leash on him or release him. I honestly don't know whether or not Heyman would be willing to work for Jerry Jarret (something tells me no), but Heyman being added to the announce team, and writing storylines equals ratings. The WWE should consider Heyman a blessing. Because they have the safety of benefitting from his creativity, while staying safe from his tendency to go a bit overboard with expenses, etc. |

Yeah who can figure WWE logic.
Maybe they see that ratings are staying at a higher level than they were, so they figure, get rid of Heyman so he cant take any credit. Or maybe he said to push Benoit, and that got him fired. |

Heyman should go be a booker for TNA. I think he could really put them on the map, as long as he just sticks to booking and that's it.

Heyman is a genius..
I'm wondering if it has something to do with future booking security. Think about it, if Heyman stays on for good, once Vince ultimately steps down, he'll have been on awhile, and he may actually have pull, be able to actually argue his ideas.. If he's not on there, when Vince steps down, it basically leaves Vince a clean platter of yesmen for the new era of Steph and Jean Paul |

More on Heyman's removal from SD writing team, Tough Enough, more
» Reported by Adam Martin of WrestleView.com » On Saturday, December 4, 2004 at 7:17 PM EST -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - With no replacement in the plans yet for Paul Heyman on the SmackDown writing team, it leaves David Lagana by himself writing the show yet again. As we noted yesterday, the move to pull Heyman off the writing team was said to be very sudden. From what is known, a majority of the reason for his removal had to do with Stephanie McMahon, who is in charge of the creative department for WWE. - It appears Vince McMahon was behind the idea to do the cross dressing segment on SmackDown this past week with the remaining Tough Enough contestants. - Although not confirmed, it appears Time Warner could be picking up the new WWE 24/7 On Demand service in March of 2005.

Additional notes about Paul Heyman & creative team + WWF.com URL
» Reported by Adam Martin of WrestleView.com » On Sunday, December 5, 2004 at 1:49 AM EST -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - As previously noted on WrestleView, Paul Heyman was removed from the WWE creative team on Friday. Heyman attended the booking meeting at the tapings this past Tuesday in Richmond and was sitting between head writer David Lagana and director Kevin Dunn. No incident took place at the meeting that would have hinted at Heyman's removal. Although Heyman wasn't the head writer, he was a very vocal member of the writing team in the past few weeks. It is no secret that he is known for not being a "yes man" and likes to put in his own thoughts. Obviously the McMahon's do not like that as evident in the recent hiring of Tom Chehak, who is no doubt a corporate type. --------------- So it appears he's still on the team then, just not in charge, so it's not all bad |

But why have a writing team if you are not goning to let them write? I mean if their role is to be yes-men, you may as well have Vince & Stephanie write the shows and let them see for themselves that these people were made writers because they know hoe to write.
