He looks like he spent it all on Eddie Bauer stock, Wilson leather coats, and Ho-Ho's. But couldn't set aside $15 for a haircut at Fantastic Sams and $8.95 for a pack of Just for Men Beard Coloring He looks like Al from Home Improvement if he just gave up.

Is this really going to make any difference for the WWE Third Brand?
I mean seriously, how much influence did Heyman really have over it anyway?
It's not like he was a defender of "old skool" ECW protecting the brand from becoming WWE-lite.

Twenty pages of acid, and I read all of them. But it's my fault for being so bored.
The only difference I see in Heyman leaving or staying is that he will not be appearing on TV anymore. Because that is basically all he did.
And if they are actually doing a shoot angle out of this, they better do it right. If it succeeds, ECW (and maybe all WWE) will be alive again. If it fails, all ECW fails, and thus it will affect the whole company seriously.

If this is an angle, they should do this (sorry if this scenario has been posted before, but I'm not reading 20 pages.) :
Have him come back "unauthorised" and turn ECW to more like the ECW of old.

If only it could happen. Damn safe style is gonna prevent that from happening lol. Seriously...no shooting star press or 450 splash because people that aren't even in the WWE anymore botched them?

Eventhough WWE tries to bring Heyman back he can do nothing to help make ECW a great show. First of all Heyman doesnt have 100% say in booking ECW, Maybe WWE Creative edits Heymans strong points and agrees to Heymans weak points and puts a crappy show on TV.

ok it's pretty much official paul heyman is gone from wwe. I just found this posted on wwe.com. I got to hand it to them though, they did hide the fact pretty well.
Extremists divided on Heyman’s dismissal By Jen Hunt December 4, 2006
Initial reactions by the ECW Extremists to the announcement of Paul Heyman's dismissal seem split down tenure lines. The ECW Originals appear upset and in a state of shock, whereas the new breeds seem to have a more optimistic outlook.
"I'm shocked," said Tommy Dreamer. "I don't know what's going on right now."
Dreamer boasts the longest tenure with ECW, and has known Heyman for more than ten years. Fellow ECW Original, Stevie Richards was equally shocked by the announcement.
"I have no idea what to say, except whatever Paul decides to do eventually, I wish him the best of luck in future endeavors," said Richards.
While many of the ECW Originals were too shocked by Heyman's dismissal to react to the situation yet, Rob Van Dam had some very strong words. While the two have not always gotten along over the years, RVD clearly doesn't like the idea of Heyman not being a part of the brand.
"I think that without Paul fighting for a better direction to take ECW; I fear that it's in for some horrible changes," said Van Dam.
It seems the Originals are wrestling with the idea of what an ECW without Heyman will mean. However, for those who have only been with Heyman and the brand since debuting on Sci Fi in June of this year, the future is looking bright.
"To quote a famous man, Hulkamania dies when Hogan dies, 'Woo' dies when Ric Flair dies, but when that man [Heyman] is gone and while he's gone, ECW will live on," said relative newcomer Elijah Burke.
"During a hurricane, some trees fall, others remain standing," explained Matt Striker. "During a hurricane, some houses fall, others remain standing. But you can always go fishing again after the hurricane."
In an industry where nothing seems to stay the same, one ECW Original summed up what you can always count on.
"Well it just goes to show you, nothing ever surprises you in the world of sports-entertainment," said Little Guido.

Heyman got dismissed from the recording of ECW after he used Big Shows rematch clause against lashley. Then he was dismissed from the show. not the entire company

I dont know if this has been mentioned or not, but, check out the last line in Ariel's latest "commentary" on ECW.com
"Last week, the cards warned of the fate for the Barbie doll wannabe Kelly Kelly. Kelly got bitten – and not just in my dominance over her at December to Dismember. The love sick puppy finally got what was foretold in her relationship with Mike Knox on ECW on Sci Fi. Kelly’s desire for CM Punk led her cheating heart to a suitable public humiliation and the cards suggest that the future holds even more pain and heartache for the Barbie doll.
Though the cards reveal a truth most profound for Kelly, they are not so clear for others. You see, not even this deck tells of the future that lies ahead of Big Show or Paul Heyman."
Seems odd that she'd be mentioning a real firing. I still think its real, but, add that as a point for the "Work" column, IMO

Apparently this is just a publicity stunt. Dale Gagne is nuts, too, and obsessed with fighting the WWE. So, this doesn't surprise me.

On all seriousness, that "prediction" from Ariel doesn't really mean it's a work, because there have been already too many reports on Heyman leaving; instead, it seems that they're trying to pull off a Montreal-like shoot, apparently of a size big enough to revitalize the brand. I really don't know what to think, though, because it seems that WWE is in full control of the situation, and that is rarely the case nowadays.

AWA is alive? Didn't it die in the 80's? The full name is: The AWA and the Superstars of Wrestling. Its a new NWA copy. Indies pay the "AWA" to use the name and run shows under its banner as for example "AWA: Las Vegas" and have the "AWA" champ wrestle there.

I just can't see the E letting him go. If anything I see him back in the minors or on the sidelines. Letting TNA get the opportunity to give him the book would be pretty stupid.
