3 reasons why Paul Heyman and Eric Bischoff will improve WWE and 2 why they won't

#1 (Will) The desperate need for change

Why shouldn't this succeed?

The simple fact of the matter is that WWE has decided to hire these two geniuses for new roles in the creative departments of both Raw and Smackdown because they know that the system is broken. They are unable to create new megastars anymore, despite the unbelievable amount of talent in the locker room. However, the first step towards improvement is acknowledgment. It is positive that the company is making this move because it is a statement of intent, showing that they are striving to be better.

Also, both Paul Heyman and Eric Bischoff would be knowing of the challenges of working directly under Vince McMahon, especially Heyman. After the previous two times, the fact that he is set to be part of the creative process again is a positive sign that he will have more input. As for Bischoff, his acceptance of this job certainly means that there is a long-term plan for the creative direction of the WWE. These two men would certainly want to use their ability to create the best wrestling product on the planet, without being hamstrung by Vince's creative roadblock.

The initial feeling following this move is positive. But whether this works out or not, only time will tell.
