Andrew Goldstein, second in command to Michael Hayes, has been fired. He was informed by normal human resources, instead of by someone like Steph. On Smackdown, unlike on RAW and ECW, Michael Hayes dictates what he wants on the show, and then Goldstein takes all of that and puts it together in a format that can be televised. It's said that Goldstein is very popular backstage, always worked very hard, and was always a professional. Since Michael Hayes is of a more old school state of mind, he totally clashed with Goldstein, and Hayes got him fired, pushed him out the door. Many people are surprised and upset about this backstage. If the replacement for Goldstein isn't someone who can take Hayes' dictations and format them as we've been seeing over the past few weeks, you could see a dip in the value of Smackdown.

I hope this doesn't hurt SmackDown!'s quality. It is the best show WWE puts out.

such stupidity in that company
When ratings fall, take a look in the mirror douche-bags. WE did not fire talented individuals and have guys jobbed out.

Looks like Vince finally noticed that Smackdown was too much of a wrestling show, and not enough of "RAW's awful comedy show, part 2!"
RIP, watchable TV.

....overeact much??
It sounds like all this guy did was make Hayes' ideas a reality. If Hayes is still in charge I dont see why everyone is panicking.

I'm kinda laughing how everyone bypassed the fact that Michael Hayes was the one who eliminated Goldstein, and not Vince. I like Hayes and all, but whatever dip comes from this rests on his shoulders.
Though as long as there's somebody who can take Hayes' ideas and implement them, we should be ok.

This is Haye's doing, not Vince's, and it's like the thing says, this guy put Haye's ideas in a watcheable format. We better hope his replacement can do the same. |

So, so far tonight I've seen that:
a.) Anybody fired from WWE was fired by Vince McMahon personally. And it was because they were making the product better, which Vince doesn't like.
b.) Any wrestler who was injured to the point where they had to retire received the injury at the hands of Bob Holly.

Any wrestler who was injured to the point where they had to retire received the injury at the hands of Bob Holly. Ultimately we can blame Triple H for being in Stephanie McMahon's ear, though, for both. Hunter - 'Hey honey, that C.M Punk character took all my heat at Survivor Series. Could you deal with him?' Stephanie - 'Sure, dear. While we're at it, why not fire some writers and lower the quality of the shows so people are begging for you to return? Daddy always listens to me.' Hunter - 'Yes, everything is going according to plan.' Both - 'Bwahahaha!!' I know this happened, because I read the inter nets. |

Sad thing is PWI has ended up being correct about many more things than they've been wrong about since I found them last May. But everytime they put out a story like the CM Punk crap from last week, they take a hit of credibility. Meltzer SHOULD, but ultimately won't since he's some god to most of the internet. For all I know the Punk stories were all true, but I can't even bring myself to believe something like that. That people backstage would really be that damn stupid.
