Some more Heyman news:

[He who knows more than Nation]

Well, he already basically said he was pretty much done with wrestling, but here's a nugget that caught my eye:

Any negotiations between Paul Heyman and TNA are now over after Dixie Carter refused to grant Heyman's demands.

Heyman ultimately wanted the power to make talent changes without her request, as well as calling for roughly $1 million in talent cuts, and $200,000 in indy/international talent additions. As part of his office team, Heyman also wanted to bring in former WWE creative team member Dave Lagana and Dragon Gate USA booker Gabe Sapolsky.

Heyman was also frustrated that his job description wasn't laid out in specific terms. He is unlikely to work with TNA in the future, even if offered the deal he was previously seeking, insisting he has moved on.

The man would have solved 50% of TNA's problems; keeping Dixie as just the figurehead and making necessary talent cuts and replenishing with fresh talent on a budget.

Sadly, what with the arrival of Hogan & Co. and all the money that's tied up in them (plus whatever else Spike continues to fund), it always seemed extremely unlikely that Heyman was gonna get the pre-requisite 'clean slate' that he clearly wanted...

They were a year too late.... Imagine if he'd taken over this time last year (pre-Hulk/Bish).... Joe, AJ & Daniels main eventing... Wolfe hot as fuck upon debut... Hernandez & Pope on the rise.... Angle willing to work to put over the new guys.... They may still have had an X-Division.... We could be have been enjoying a half decent company by now. :sigh:
