Paul Heyman e Eric Bischoff nuovi executive directors di Smackdown e Raw

[PuroIndyLove]

Non mi stupirei a questo punto se davvero riaccogliessero a braccia aperte Vince Russo.

La scelta di Bischoff mi ha sorpreso, non credevo che dopo tanti anni fossero ancora interessati a lui.

Non so, al massimo da Heyman si può sperare che si ingegni decentemente sulla costruzione di qualche wrestler.

Purché non accentri tutto su Lesnar.

Sul piano generale non credo cambierà qualcosa.

Bischoff...
Mega stable a Smackdown in 3...2...1...

Notare che avevano appena preso Prichard.

Se Heyman ha accettato dopo l'esperienza WWECW devono avergli garantito qualcosa, spero.
Heyman comunque ultimamente ha lavorato creativamente per Lesnar e Rousey, con risultati, che ho trovato, personalmente, altalenanti. E io Heyman lo adoro, ma ha momenti sì e momenti meh.

Secondo SI Bischoff dovrebbe relazionarsi coi produttori di FOX, questo deve aver giocato un ruolo nella scelta visto che puntano sul fatto che "abbia fatto avere a WCW il contratto con TNT e TBS" e non sono headbooker, ma direttori esecutivi.

Tanto Vince ha l'ultima parola.

Buon 2002.

Bischoff non ha fatto avere nulla alla WCW.
TBS mandava in onda la WCW dal 1973 e TNT era il canale di Turner, proprietario all'epoca.

[PuroIndyLove]

Il periodo 2002/2003 di Smackdown era tanta roba.

Il periodo migliore della storia di questo show sempre bistrattato.

Ma magari facessero la metà di quello che proponevano allora.

[Survive If I Let You]

Ah, lo so, per quello l'ho messo tra virgolette.
Intendevo:
https://www.wwe.com/shows/raw/article/p ... kdown-live
"He was also instrumental in securing a television deal for WCW Monday Nitro on TNT and WCW Thunder on TBS."
Che immagino intendano col senso di "mantenere", però è ambiguo, che "secure" di solito si usa col significato di "ottenere".
Insomma il dubbio è che vogliano gettare fumo negli occhi di FOX.

Questo è il mio messaggio numero 800:

Spoiler:

[Jeff Hardy 18]

Il gioco è palese, dicono "per assicurare alla WCW Nitro su TNT e Thunder su TBS" non cita tutto il resto. Gioco palese perchè è corretta come affermazione.

Mi pare un modo come un altro per tenere lontano HHH dal prodotto. Che si somma alla migrazione di Road Dogg a NXT. Alla fine, Heyman e Bischoff sono figli di un’altra generazione, possono offrire idee sufficientemente vintage da compiacere McMahon.

Oh, quanto ci metterà Bischoff per spingere per il nero grosso del New Day al posto di quello mingherlino? Con pestaggi settimanali di quello ancora più mingherlino?

Hype per chi si prenderà là gimmick del motociclista. Big E? Bayley? Demon Balor? Strowman? O, direttamente, tutta l’Undisputed Era?

[Backbone Crusher]

Da Botchamania:

Vince: alright despite our differences and ideas on wrestling, I know there's one thing we all agree on

Heyman: let's all say it at the same time

Bischoff: ok

*deep breath*

All: we need Sid to come in and squash the fuck out of everyone

Mi aspetto il push nella stratosfera per Elias, è il tipo di wrestler che Bischoff ama: grosso, alto, fisicato e mezza sega in ring che non guasta mai.
Poi c ha il capello lungo è la barba, bandana e Harley ed il gioco è fatto.

Che poi magari pushassero big e al posto di kofi, magari

[PuroIndyLove]

Con Bischoff vedremo più main event da PPV buttati a Smackdown.

Una pratica, d'altronde, già ben avviata.

[The Natural Bastard]

Il prossimo che chiamano è Russo, segnatevelo

Magari.

LOP

One of the bigger news items from yesterday was the story about the email blasts advertising Paul Heyman for Raw and Eric Bischoff for Smackdown. This lead almost everyone to believe that their new positions as director of Raw and Smackdown respectively would be on air characters despite Sports Illustrated breaking the initial story stating they wouldn’t.



Many people rightly assumed that the graphic and the copy for the shows would have to be pre-approved before making it to the department that would send it to the arenas, which emailed it to fans.



However, Bryan Alvarez stated on the Friday evening edition of Figure Four Daily (with Lance Storm) that the emails were sent out prematurely and that Vince was “furious” when he found out about the emails. Below is a partial transcript of Alvarez trying to explain the confusing situation. (timestamp 16:33 – 19:19)

“So I started texting and emailing people there [WWE] and I’m like, ‘Whats going on? Just 24 hours ago these guys were not gonna be tv characters.’ And the first couple people that I text are also baffled. And one of them notes, there was a meeting last night that went till 4:23 am. But it was only Raw. Nobody has even pitched anything for Smackdown yet. And I was also told that last week because of the ppv, Vince didn’t even look at the Smackdown script till he was on the way to Smackdown. Long story short. Why would there be advertising about Bischoff being on Smackdown when they hadn’t even talked about Smackdown yet? (Referencing the “Raw” creative meeting the night before that went to 4:23am)

So then I start thinking that the emails must be fake. But then everybody starts sending me their email blasts. One right after the other. It’s abundantly clear its not fake. This is all during Observer Live and I’m getting messages back and forth and people there are going, ‘I don’t know what’s going on. I don’t know why this is out there.’ Like is it real, is it fake? Then somebody sends me an email blast from Raw advertising Paul Heyman there. Well…last night at the creative meeting, there was no mention of Paul Heyman being on Raw. But finally I get the message from WWE that they are real email blasts. So then it’s like, ok what’s going on?

So the story is… Vince I guess is trying not to micromanage everything like he has done in the past. Plus he’s got the XFL coming up. So apparently he’s not micromanaging the department that’s sending out these email blasts. And so I have no idea how, but 24 hours later the people in that department still thought that Heyman and Bischoff were gonna be television characters. And so they put together these email blasts advertising them as being there as characters. I don’t know how it got through all of these channels but it got sent out to everybody. Around the time that I got it everybody else got it. Vince got it. Vince was furious, not understanding why these were sent out. And so at this moment Heyman and Bischoff are not supposed to be television characters. But because the email blasts had been sent out, there is the chance that they’re gonna have to put them on tv because it’s been advertised. This is a 7 billion dollar company with 500 employees and this is what happened in the last 24 hours. So that’s the story.

On this morning’s episode of Wrestling Observer Radio Dave Meltzer echoed this same story.

“Somebody screwed up in making it. Somebody screwed up in approving it. And it was sent out and Vince didn’t know. And nobody needed to know, knew. Basically when we found out they [WWE] found out. I don’t want to say it was a panic or anything like that but it was not a happy time. The jist of everything is that it wasn’t supposed to happen. Bischoff was not booked to be on tv on Tuesday. Heyman was probably not booked on television. He may have done an interview in some form to do a Brock Lesnar thing with Seth. I think he was booked for a segment to do the same stuff that he’s been doing but it wasn’t like he was gonna redo the show or be a tv general manager or anything like that. But somebody assumed that he was. Eric wasn’t even supposed to start for a couple weeks. But because they advertised him, he may be there now. As of late Friday evening Eric was not planning to be there on Tuesday. But Vince still may talk to him and say he has to come because they accidentally advertised him. I don’t know if he’ll do that or not.”

Ma tanto Russo manco apparirebbe on screen, potrebbero sfruttare Borash piuttosto.

Ma meglio così, andassero avanti con 'sti zombi.
