Last thread has well over 10,000 replies. Its body is breaking down like The Undertaker's. Seeing as we might have crossed the threshold into a new era in the business, here's a fresh new thread.

He has killed 2 companies....maybe he can change though if they keep Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan far the fuck away.
I think Heyman can do a great job if Vince leaves him the fuck alone. We know that's not going to happen though. :-)
Sort of surprised it isn't the other way around though. I think Heyman would have a better chance of writing and producing a more 'sports' oriented show than Eric. [Reply]

It all depends on if either of them are given any autonomy. Heyman got some during the Smackdown 6 period and it was glorious. But I don't see Vince giving up the death grip quite yet. They already have a really good roster but the writing/Vince doesn't let anyone become a star. It's all 50/50 booking and putting Shane over. [Reply]

He also transformed WCW into the powerhouse it was in the late 1990s in the first place with acts like the NWO and Goldberg. The guy has good ideas. [Reply]

That he promptly drove into the ground and killed. Went to TNA years later and drove that company into the ground, too.
Great ideas like having Mic Foley fight a cardboard cutout, or letting Steve Austin walk right out the door.
I think he was a great mind for wrestling at one point, but that one point of time has came and gone. [Reply]
I'd have tried to get Cornette for Smackdown. That dude would probably turn it into a massive success out of pure spite for most of AEWs top brass. [Reply]
