As Mike reported a few minutes ago, Paul Heyman is gone from WWE.
From talking to a number of people in company, the impression I
received was that Vince McMahon was irate about how awful the PPV
was last night and wanted to pin the blame on Heyman for it. Anyone
who knows anything about Heyman's booking, as I have for years now,
have a pretty good idea that the show was much more McMahon than
Heyman. But according to people I spoke with, Heyman got pinned with
the blame for it with the theory being that "he is caught in the
past and doesn't understand the new vision of ECW". You know, the
vision that ends PPVs a half hour early and makes the fans boo what
WWE creative books for them.

The problems started yesterday at the ECW PPV when everyone realized
that the show really stunk. Heyman was said to be unhappy with the
way that the show was booked (big shock right) and sources backstage
told me that he voiced that concern both before the show and after
it. People at TV told me today that it was obvious that there were
issues between Vince McMahon and Heyman because of the how the show
played out on pay TV, with everyone knowing it was a disaster.
Problems carried over from last night and led to the incidents that
happened today.

A number of sources told me that there was a meeting today around
two o'clock with Heyman, Vince McMahon and Stephanie McMahon-
Levesque at the building. Heyman came out the meeting and seemed
like his normal self, with no one I talked to having any idea that
something bad had happened. Shortly thereafter, Heyman gathered his
things and left the building to go home.

The word going around from everyone I talked to is that this is not
a storyline in any way and he is legitimately done with the company.
