-As first reported in this week's new PWTorch Newsletter (now available in a text version within our iPhone/iPad app for VIP members), one of the reasons Brian Gewirtz was relieved of his duties was that his replacement, Eric Pankowski, had really impressed Vince McMahon and earned his trust over the last eight months since he was hired. Also, Pankowski is considered "a Triple H guy." Meanwhile, as has been reported, Gewirtz had been working a lot from home lately, hadn't been on the road much at all, and was only in the office a few days a week. While just a couple years ago Gewirtz was considered as close to McMahon and as trusted by McMahon as anyone besides family and Kevin Dunn, he has fallen out of favor since.

-Also of note, Vince McMahon went on a tear before Raw on Monday, but in the midst of all of that, there is a buzz because one prominent wrestler fired back at Vince and didn't hold back. Details are sketchy because so few people were in the room, but PWTorch has learned that at least one powerful player in WWE let Vince know that he is a big part of the problem and blaming others and trying to intimidate people into fearing his wrath doesn't change that fact.

Anyone want to take a stab at which wrestler it was? My money's on Orton.

Curt Hawkins. When he talks people stop and listen

Or it could have been Punk

Was hoping it would be John Cena.

Like the rest of us, I would love to know who it was.

If this really went down this has CM Punk written all over it. If Orton was backstage he is my 2nd guess.

Yeah, right. It was obviously Heath "The One Man Southern Rock Band" Slater who stood up to Vince. No one else in the company has the balls.

Sounds like something Punk would do, tbh.

Brodus Clay · 10-11-2012, 01:45 AM

Fuck no, last 8 months and HHH guy? this motherfucker sure write the Sheamus vs ADR feud, we are doomed.

one prominent wrestler
Why people say Orton he usually has all he wants, remember he wanted a Kane and ADR feud, he already did one and already started the other, and after his drug problems hes in no position to blame other about the product.

Cena or Punk, one is Vince golden boy and sure can say anything he wants without getting depushed, and the other is know for having a big mouth.

lol @ Punks name coming up. That dude isn't speaking up about anything. He got his and is very very comfortable where he's at. He never was a "rebel" like people want to think he is. If I had to pick any guy it would be Orton. He hasn't seemed happy the last few months especially considering they won't turn him heel when he has said wants to be one multiple times. It would make sense for him to say something not Vince & HHH's homeboy, CM Punk.

It could have been Cena. The guy is untouchable and he knows it so I could see him saying something. He has also "reportedly" had problems with Vince and management on the whole taking time off situation and his injury.
