More Details on the WWE Creative Shake-Up

- After Monday's big creative shake-up at RAW, one source told
F4Wonline.com that the stress of RAW being three hours has finally hit
Vince McMahon. The entire weekend built up and imploded on the WWE
flight to the West Coast for this week's TV tapings. Vince had been in a
bad mood for several weeks and something happened on that flight that
pushed him over the edge. We noted before that a major blow-up with a
top WWE star backstage was a major factor.

Brian Gewirtz, who has
been demoted to a consultant role, was the Senior Vice President of
Creative and had been reporting directly to Vince and Stephanie McMahon.
He was recently demoted to the "home team" that stays at WWE
headquarters and works on scripts. It's said he had only showed up to
the Stamford offices three or four days a week for the past year. This
got him major heat with others.

The head writer for RAW is
currently Dave Kapoor, the former Ranjin Singh. Ed Koskey is likely
still the head SmackDown writer for now while Eric Pankowski is the
overall head writer. Many others have creative input including Michael
Hayes.

One source put some of the blame on Stephanie McMahon. He
told F4Wonline.com: "The reality is Brian isn't the real issue or even a
band-aid. Stephanie has run this dysfunctionally toxic division for the
entire duration of its ratings decline. Her horrendous structure from
the committee dynamic to who she fast-tracks and how rigidly the shows
are structured are why this product isn't gangbusters. Plus, three hours
is a [disaster]."
