Who gets the book?

[bjboston]

You have to hire one of these three guys to be in charge of the creative content of your show. Who's it going to be?

[Arturo Classico]

Heyman in a second. Lets look at his resume. He turned ECW from a crappy territory in the NWA system, to a promotion that has a cult phenomenon and became the number three company in America. Came to WWE after that and became the head writer for Smackdown and turned it from the b show to being far superior to Raw and some of the greatest moments in Smackdown history were under Heyman. Than he had a falling out with Steph and was put on OVW as the head booker of that. He turned that from simply just a little known developmental territory to a promotion that was actually talked about people and people said it was actually superior to Raw or Smackdown. Also ECW was not his fault so you can't blame Heyman for that. Oh and if he was better with finances ECW would be alive today. SO yeah Heyman wins this.

Would def want heyman in charge but would def want cornette to have an important role within the creative

Heyman all the way. Look at what he did with SD! in 2002 - the emergence of the "Lie, Cheat, Steal" character that turned Guerrero into a major star, Matt Hardy's V1 gimmick, Brock Lesnar debuting as a remorseless brute, then the unstoppable fan favourite after Heyman turned on him, the whole tag title feud which gave instant prestige to the belt, Edge teaming with Hogan before Brock mauled the latter - that's just the tip of the iceburg. Smackdown owned RAW for pretty much the whole of 2002, until one S. McMahon took over the booking in early 2003.

Keep him away from the financial side of things, and just let him do what he does best.

Cornette or Heyman.

Id let Russo write for my magazine.

[oltrelamorte]

Heyman

[seanwalsh]

Paul Heyman, hands down.

I like parts of what all three of them do. Russo is good at creating characters with shades of grey and also comes up with cool names for wrestlers and stables. Cornette brings an internal logic and makes the titles (and the matches themselves, really) mean something. And Heyman's storylines are always emotionally satisfying with big payoffs.

I wish there were some way we could genetically splice all three and get the ultimate booker. How about it, science?

[manx21]

heyman for me. cornettes great in his own right but not quite heyman level. and russo needs a team to regulate him or awful things happen
