I’m not going to ask if you want him in AEW since he got fired as a creative team lead in wwe because he’s still under WWE contract as a talent so that’s not happening. However if he is ever free from wwe and can join AEW, do you think Tony Kahn would give Heyman full creative control of AEW? Heyman would have went to TNA had Dixie Carter let him have full control of the TNA creative. I don’t know if it’s a pride thing or she thought she knew it all, but she refused which was a mistake. I have a feeling Tony Kahn would also be to proud to give Heyman full creative of AEW, but unlike Carter, Kahn is a long time fan of the business so do you think he’d make the same mistake Dixie Carter did?

There is no way that the flippy guys in charge will ever let Heyman run the show. You mentioned that Dixie thought she knew everything about wrestling. Cody and the rest surly think they know more than anyone!

I really doubt it. I can't see Tony or Cody giving up the pencil.
It would be a huge deal if Heyman showed up as an on screen character and brought a client or two with him...

Heyman as head of creative would not be a good decision, nor would it happen. Khan is not Dixie, he is a bloody wrestling encyclopedia and already has great people around him to collaborate with. What would be the point in bringing in Heyman to do that.

If it were 20 years ago, without a doubt. Instantly. I'm afraid as good as a 50+ year old Heyman may be, creatively he might be past his prime on a large scale.
He's very good though doing his stuff, so I'd gladly welcome him as a manager of a group in AEW.
Edit: Dixie was as ignorant as they come. I wish her and Russo would run off together and never be seen or heard from again.

Well, Russo and Dixie aren't involved with a wrestling company anymore so they are pretty much not heard from now anyway. |

I was hoping more along the lines of going away from life, not just wrestling.. Because unfortunately, Russo still has a podcast and droves of nitwits on Twitter. I feel blessed I haven't stumbled into the Dixie Carter fanclub.. ugh *shudders* |

I'm so tired of the Paul Heyman on screen character, he's beyond stale. Helping in creative would be cool I guess, but they don't need him.

While I'm still interested to see what Heyman could do creatively with his hands untied, the AEW booking has been strong and I don't see any reason to change horses.
I wish we could have seen what Heyman could do with free reign 10-15 years ago. And even today I think he could do some interesting work as booker. But I also love seeing fresh booking ideas from new minds. We keep seeing the same names rehashed - Cornette, Russo, Heyman, Pritchard. I'm a big fan of Cornette and Heyman, and they have great minds for the business. But I think to some extent booking is a young man's game. Or should/could be.
People forget that Heyman and Cornette both broke into the business at super young ages. By the time Jim started SMW and during ECW's peak both guys were in their early 30's. Being young and in touch with pop culture has to have colored their success and creativity during that period. I like the idea of a fresh set of eyes holding the pencil.
I do find it funny that a big part of the narrative over WCW's downturn in the early 90s and WWF in the mid 90's is that guys like Bill Watts, Jerry Jarrett, Ole, etc were old and out of touch. They were in their 50s at the time, and now we keep seeing the same names cycle through creative in their 50's, wondering why products feel stale. I'm not saying it's just a matter of hiring younger, but it's something that jumped out at me with some of the recent shakeups.

He would be great in JR's backstage role, but JR has JR's backstage role.

Hopefully he wouldn't lower himself... Heyman as head of creative would not be a good decision, nor would it happen. Khan is not Dixie, he is a bloody wrestling encyclopedia and already has great people around him to collaborate with. What would be the point in bringing in Heyman to do that. "wrestling encyclopedia", lol. |
