Holy shit. They must seriously be freaking out, Gerwitz has been there forever. Now I'm really curious about Vince's announcement tonight.

If true, based on the horror stories that surrounded him, this is a step in the right direction.

Yeah, I think Gerwirtz had been head writer since 2001.

Everyone is scared. Vince told the producers today, "I want results or I want resignations."

Citation by way of 411mania, as I don't subscribe. Quote from a different board, as 411 paraphrased.

Vince McMahon was not in a good mood this afternoon to say the least. Brian Gewirtz after a decade plus was removed as head writer of Raw. He is still under contract as a consultant.

Everyone is scared. Vince told the producers today, "I want results or I want resignations."

Well time for me to send my application to be the head writer.

"I have an announcement: The plane carrying Brian Gerwirtz was shot down over the Sea of Japan. It spun in. There were no survivors."

So, who had 2.5 as the magic number in the pick 'em?

Jeez, sounds like the ratings have lit a fire under Vince's ass.

WWE reboot incoming?

[KobashiChop]

Holy crap. This could get serious. WWE Raw could get seriously wild.

[Burst]

Raw Is Anarchy, non-kayfabe edition?

[BigWill]

This will be in interesting Raw, to say the least.

[Chuckie Finster]

Not defending Gerwirtz, but with Vince directly in control this show is gonna seriously suck for a while.

[BigJerichool222]

Holy Shit. Changes are a comin, ya hear?

Vince: Dang! That was my last superstar. Now what am I gonna do? [Vince looks into the crowd, and points at a random fan] You!
Fan: Me?
Vince: Yeah, you! Get your hand off my wife's leg!

Dear Vince,

I really really really hope this means opening and closing segments without AJ. Put her in a divas feud or something, please stop centering the narrative around her.

Sincerely, kidglov3s

Interesting. Wonder who will be taking over, not that it matters with Vince in control mind you. Gerwitz was also Rock's go to guy and go between with Vince if I remember right and the only person in corporate that Rock talked to for the longest.
