-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.
Honestly, to me, the name of the person responsible never even mattered. I was perfectly content not knowing who it was & just knowing that something was finally said to Vince McMahon. I'm not looking to give praise to an individual, I'm looking to see the product improve.
i really wish we knew what vince said after that. i doubt he stood silent in thought. i picture him getting in ADRS face to cut a promo, tells him "THIS is your DESTINY" and powerbombs him through his desk.
what makes this a lot better is that it'a not like del rio was getting buried, he was constantly getting whc title shots
i always struck del rio as a good person, that picture where he was with slater, ambrose, curtis, and a bunch of other curtain jerkers shows that he treats everyone equal
Seriously, if anyone on the whole roster should know just how stale and weak the "script" is, it should be Del Rio.
Hope he follows CM Punk's lead and just starts saying what he wants to say while getting the main point of a certain storyline across, to hell with the "script."
Holy fucking shit. No way. I hope he doesn't get buried or fired, he probably won't but damn dude I always knew ADR wasn't a pansy but damn dude has grapefruit balls. I have new found respect for him, maybe cena and orton supported him cause this is amazing.
ADR should ask for a new character direction, when he can make Vince nervous and insecure out of all people then he shouldn't have a problem telling creative what's up. Too bad WWE can'd pull Mafioso gimmick, because he has the charisma and look of a mexican pope, the gimmick is just waiting to happen. The stones have already been set, he always talks how rich he is, but he never mentioned where his money comes from. But any character is better than his current one, props to him for speaking up. At least some bland, boring guys are conscious about it and want to improve and change, can't say the same about Sheamus I guess.
OMG so it was Alberto Del Rio who stood up to Vince??? my god hes got some balls I didnt expect this. Alberto standing up to Vinnie Mac isnt a wise move hes lucky to still have a job
Alberto has earnt my respect
Also Alberto is out saviour and next the IWC darling
