Paul Heyman will be on WWE Network tonight at 7pm EST to discuss the controversy surrounding NBC News anchor Brian Williams and his false recollection of events he was involved in during the conflict in Iraq in 2003.
Please do not use this thread to discuss the political elements that may come up, but anything else is welcome.

Why in the world is this happening?
If anyone shouldn't be commenting on someone being a liar/completely full of shit, it's Paul Heyman.

I don't think this is the right person or venue for a discussion like that, but it appears to be happening. Okay then.

Okay, why is this happening? Does WWE think this will add Network subscribers?

Is this really a big deal or are they trying to get Brian as the WM celebrity?
...I don't think he'd do it.

Another thing - WWE is with USA which is under the NBCUniversal umbrella.
Surely, they wouldn't slam him too hard?

I hope this doesn't turn into one of those USA USA TROOPS things WWE gets a boner for.

I don't think this is necessary, but I won't fault WWE for trying something different with the WWE Network.

Doesn't matter to me if they slam him hard or treat him with kid gloves. What are they going to do next week? Have The Ryback talk about tort reform? Randy Orton's plans of peace in the middle east? |

I'm really surprised this is an issue at all. Social media for you. |

Give talent a video camera or let them use their phones to just record "A week with Ryback" or "A day in the life of New Day" and let them expand their own characters on the Network, gives the Network some original material and lets guys move beyond "black guy who claps". |

We don't know what Heyman's going to say, but he's pretty much made a career out of 'hustling.' Paul Heyman has stretched the truth and flat-out lied to get ahead or simply to stay alive in wrestling. This is a common theme to his promos and mentioned on his DVD. Vince, Stephanie, and Hunter have called him out as a liar many times in promos. From lying about his credentials to get in buildings or to get jobs, to having his wrestlers buying bereavement fare tickets to fly to shows, to listening-in to conference calls in WWE that he was not supposed to be included in, he's simply not the best messenger to call-out Brian Williams. Of course we don't know what Heyman will say.

The only politics I like in my wrestling are backstage politics because those can be funny as hell.
