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. Here's my take on it: you believe whatever you want to believe, I believe whatever I want to believe. Debating about the legitimacy or lack thereof, when only using gut instincts as evidence, is pointless.

There's no reason to believe the people backstage aren't that stupid, really.
Doesn't make all the stories we hear true, but they can still be idiots.
This wouldn't shock me one bit. I'm getting really tired of "old school" wrestlers in legit authority positions; not that they don't have anything to contribute, but so many of them seem stuck in this 1970's/1980's mindset, which is some ways can be good (simpler booking techniques that often lead to some good television), but in other ways can be awful and stagnating (i.e. the way younger wrestlers are treated, treating talent like cattle, etc.).
Just a general observation.

OH MY! (in my best Cole impression)
Smackdown has been awesome, like the old saying goes "don't fix what ain't broke". Smackdown has gotten me actually to stay home for the past 5 fridays to sit down and watch WWE programming. I haven't done that, or passed up going out being with my friends, etc. because of wrestling since like 2001. 6 months ago, if you would've asked me "Hey are you going to watch Smackdown?" I'd probably say, "Beer Pong isn't going to play itself, so F**K NO! I mean come on it's SMACKDOWN maybe I'd watch if somehow there was a Bret Hart-Angle-CM Punk-Michaels-Benoit-Samoa Joe six-way 90 minute ironman match! OH MY!"
Oh god, please please please not make much of a difference.

The article just seems so absurd. It begging the reader to believe that Smackdown is doomed. Its painting a one sided picture. It may be true, but that article isn't telling the whole story if it is.

I think this is just the internet going on a mission to turn the IWC against the greats of the wrestling business. Make us believe Finlay and Arn Anderson hate CM Punk was to turn us on Finlay and Arn, and now Hayes' supposed firing of writer we just heard exists today to somehow spin us against Hayes, he's Michael Hayes man! I trust him!

They do the same negative info on Bob Holly and The Undertaker!

Typical IWC - Get upset over a guy we don't even know who the hell he is, getting fired.

A) C'mon, it's SmackDown, it's on Friday nights, the majority of the big names are on RAW. Obviously WWE doesn't care about SmackDown, why should you?
B) Lay off Michael Hays... he was in Highlander, case dismissed.

Why are they wasting time firing this guy when they could be firing Michael Cole?
