The Story On Paul Heyman's Departure From WWE

Internally, it is being said that Vince McMahon was absolutely irate in regards to how awful last night's ECW PPV was. Furthermore, McMahon is looking to put the blame on Heyman for it. The theory for the blame on Heyman is, "he is caught in the past and doesn't understand the new vision of ECW".

Problems started yesterday when most everyone realized that the ECW PPV was quite awful to say the least. Heyman was unhappy with how the show was booked and he voiced his concerns before and after the show. There were issues between Heyman and McMahon because of how the show played out on TV, with most everyone knowing that it was a disaster. Furthermore, the problems carried over from last night, and led to incidents occuring backstage at today's RAW/ECW taping.

At 2:00 P.M., Heyman had a meeting with Vince and Stephanie McMahon. Heyman came out of the meeting looking as if nothing happened. Nobody had any idea that there was anything wrong between the two parties. Shortly thereafter, Heyman gathered his belongings and left the building to go home.

Anyways, the word going around backstage is that Heyman is legitimately done with the company and this really isn't some sort of storyline.

Heyman is a great wrestling promoter and only due to the fact that Vince has the reigns pulled on him because Vince needs to be involved in ECW and not let the man who controlled it for years handle things. ECW is a failure because Vince has no clue about hardcore like Heyman or Dreamer for that matter.

I saw take the good wrestlers on ECW and move them to Smackdown.

This is the final nail in the coffin for ECW. Heyman was ECW. Without him, i'll be very surprised if it will succeed. I say, you might aswell just end ECW, save the dosh and just focus on RAW and SmackDown!
Of course, take the decent ECW wrestlers to RAW or SmackDown! Especially CM Punk. He is extremely over with the fans, great wrestler and i think with the right push, can become a incredible main eventer!

No way ECW survives without Heyman the man is the cornerstone for ECW as far as a creative aspect. I believe CM Punk would do a great job for ECW but sadly IMO theres not many others in WWE who would do it any justice.

Lol, first they get rid of Dreamer helping with the storylines and shows and take away the little control he had, now Heyman? Heyman and Dreamer never really had total control of ECW and that was the problem, Vince should of let them do what they wanted to and made it like the old ECW which the fans wanted, but Vince doesn't always do what's best or the fans want. I don't blame Heyman for being frustrated all around.

Still am surprised that Heyman, Dreamer, and other former ECW Wrestlers or Promoters in general couldn't of invested money in ECW and made it their own without Vince? TNA isn't doing too bad. You think Ted Turner might of wanted to get back at Vince or why not Donald Trump invest money in it? Lol.

why is heyman getting the blame, shouldnt it be the whole of the creative team, instead of just of picking on one person!

[Iceman]

Vince McMahon should get the blame for simply not giving Heyman total control. They said in the past that Vince interfered too much and disapproved with some of Heymans decisions, thus we have the ECW we have now, which is not a good one, lol.
