Paid Members BomberPat Posted June 12, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted June 12, 2020 Heyman did have an autobiography in the pipeline, but it was shelved when he returned to WWE. It getting set back and set back - I had it on pre-order for probably a couple of years by the end of it all - but I've heard nothing about anything being released since he came back.

Paid Members chokeout Posted June 12, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted June 12, 2020 38 minutes ago, Astro Hollywood said: Do they usually tweet out changes in writing personnel, or is this more of a ratings panic than usual? Probably a combination of the dire ratings and because they made such a fuss of hiring Heyman and Bischoff to head up the writing of both shows and, in less than a year, have sacked them both off.

The Gaffer Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 35 minutes ago, tiger_rick said: It probably doesn't matter because it seems whoever is writing I just writing to get stuff through Vince or else he re-writes it anyway but if it wasn't for the all-seeing eye, I'd say it absolutely does need streamlining. It needs to be a tighter vision across the board with a team who have an eye over everything. It's disjointed from segment to segment. AEW suffered from some of that too when they had people booking their own bits all over the place. Fair point. I guess it's a vague term - and it's just a press release anyway - but when I think 'streamlining' I think getting all the boys to hit their bullet points, point at the sign, "Because at Extreme Rules!", say the new buzzwords etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uklaw Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 According to PWTorch, EVOLVE Wrestling has been placed on hiatus, with COVID-19 given as the official reason. Apparently, Gabe Sapolsky posted the news on a private Facebook group. Let’s see how long ‘hiatus’ remains the status, or if it becomes ‘ceased. Sapolsky is already working with NXT, so I imagine he’ll be there full time going forward.

Is this stemming from the rumour last week that WWE have bought it out and acquired the tape library? EVOLVE closing and basically merging into NXT seems to have been on the cards ever since that show was on the network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members JNLister Posted June 17, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted June 17, 2020 They haven't run a show since 1 March. The "hiatus" is just them confirming they have no plans to run any future shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that there's many options right now anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made a comment post Impact last night that they've brought someone in who taught him a lot during 1999 to 2001 and putting 2 and 2 together, people have assumed Heyman.

bigfoote Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 (edited) Eventually found this...not exactly a reputable news source but there's a YouTube video with Don's comments apparently; they also have a list of possible people, everyone from Lance Storm to Gabe to Joey Styles. But I think it's Stings chin https://www.sescoops.com/don-callis-teases-big-name-from-ecw-headed-to-impact/ Edited June 17, 2020 by bigfoote Cos I can't do copy paste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodywolf Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 They are going to some effort to make people believe it’s Heyman and apparently will lead to a relaunch in Q4 - apparently there is some big money secured but believe when it when it actually happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
