Does Heyman have any experience booking a decent women's wrestling division? Genuine question. ECW was stuck in the time period where women only existed to be the jerk-off fantasies of 14 year olds and I think his WWE booking years predated women's wrestling being taken seriously as well. I wouldn't want him anywhere near AEW if the small progress made with AEW's women's division is going to stall or go backwards. Smackdown 6 era was a very relative (IT WAS STILL PRETTY BAD) step up in terms of the women actually getting to have real proper matches, but I don't think that had rly anything to do with Paul because the dude that all the Ruthless Aggression era women loved backstage who actually gave a f*** was Dave Finlay. Source: I had the Network on in bed one time and the Ruthless Aggression doc was on and Finlay's bald head was making a difference Smackdown during the 6 era only really had two women wrestlers. Dawn Marie and Torrie. And their only real feud was the Torries dad story. Raw had the pretty good womens action and Heyman didnt really have anything to do with it.

Right now Tony is booking AEW much better than Heyman would in all likelyhood. I much prefer him as the Wise Man for Roman.

We saw what happens when Paul writes storylines in recent years. Lots of weird fetish storylines. Hard pass. I don't mind weird fetishes, but when it was tied so specifically into weird toxic ideas of masculinity... Carmella having ellsworth as basically a bottom pet would been a favorite of mine as far as fetisb storylines go if Ellsworth wasnt a massive piece of shit. At least we have rhea and Dom

It somehow leaded to Sting feuding with a new dangerous alliance.

Tony: "Okay Paul, I'm going to let you write the show now, don't go putting in any weird cuck storylines." Paul: "Don't worry Tony, I won't, wink." Tony: "Paul, why did you say wink? You didn't even physically wink, you just said the word. I mean it, no cuck storylines." Paul: "You know what, you're stifling my creativity and I can't work in this enviroment. I'm fat and I'm tired and you're a f***ing child!" “Tony you know any good Muffin places round here?”

Watching ECW on Sportschannel Philadelphia every Tuesday at 6 is one of my absolute favorite times of my wrestling fandom…but I was in high school then and I’ll be 43 in a couple months.
Wrestling has needed to move past the mid/late 90s since 2001, so I’d say this would be a lousy idea.

After Heyman’s last run as head of Raw, I think we’re better off with Khan.

Just like they always speculate about "What if Heyman had gone to Tna" sure he would have been more Creative than others there but still... Tony Khan is doing everything right he just is no Vince McMahon and never will be. Nobody will be as great like Vince.

Remember when Paul got asked about his hypothetical plan for if he took over TNA in 2010 and dude said he was gonna fire everyone over 40 and somehow nobody rly questioned him or said "hey that's insane" because 2010 and the fact that Hulk Hogan was over 40.

Also, at the time 45 year old Heyman fires everyone over 40.

My wires got crossed cause the whole time Finlay is wearing a bright blue Smackdown shirt but you're correct, it was WAY more on RAW

I know he probably wasn't being 100% literal there but it's crazy to imagine this plan actually being implemented in wrestling today and all the still great talent we'd miss out on. Bryan Danielson Brock Lesnar Hiroshi Tanahashi CM Punk AJ Styles Finn Balor Chris Jericho Rey Mysterio Edge Randy Orton Kota Ibushi Sheamus Claudio Castagnoli Tetsuta Naito Asuka Bobby Lashley Christian Cage KENTA Eddie Kingston Kofi Kingston Shinsuke Nakamura Samoa Joe Minoru Suzuki Meiko Satomura Shelton Benjamin Dolph Ziggler Tomohiro Ishii Damien Priest Mickie James Chris Sabin John Morrison Mercedes Martinez Hirooki Goto We'd also be less than a year from putting Kenny Omega out to pasture and a couple years for Roman Reigns.

Heyman: Okay everyone over 40 is fired. I’m 45 so I guess I’m fired too. Dixie, I’ll take my paycheck, bonus, and severance! Dixie: Here ya go, sug! *Heyman runs out of the nearest exit* AJ Styles: What just happened?! Dixie: Hey…wait a minute!

Smackdown during the 6 era only really had two women wrestlers. Dawn Marie and Torrie. And their only real feud was the Torries dad story. Raw had the pretty good womens action and Heyman didnt really have anything to do with it. My wires got crossed cause the whole time Finlay is wearing a bright blue Smackdown shirt but you're correct, it was WAY more on RAW It made sense at the time for the women to be on Raw as they were traditionally more sports entertainment. While Smackdown got the cruiserweights as that was the wrestling show. But Finlay turned the women into a wrestling force. And on Smackdown while the cruiserweights were not ignored the Smackdown Sixes work definitely overshadowed them.

I don't mind weird fetishes, but when it was tied so specifically into weird toxic ideas of masculinity... I will stand by Noam Dar wanting to f*** a Pizza as being one of my favorite things ever.
