10 WWE Employees That Are In The Wrong Job

1. Paul Heyman Should Be Head Of The Creative Team

It's the "easy" choice. It's the choice that just about everyone mentions at one point or another. It's also the choice that would make the most sense. There has never been a wrestling promoter/writer that has catered more to what his company's fans wanted to see than Paul Heyman. He had all of these ideas, and if the crowds enjoyed them, he continued pushing and crafting those ideas, but if the crowds didn't enjoy them, he scrapped the ideas almost immediately. He was even able to do that while he was writing Smackdown, and actually had control over things, so it isn't just him catering to nothing but "smark" fans. For those that follow him and pay attention to him on social media, it's clear that his mind is still as sharp as ever, and his eye for the business remains incredible. There is zero doubt, in the minds of most, that he could handle a job like this, but there is that serious catch of him being given freedom to do what he needs to do. Pretty much every report fans have ever seen about his time working on the WWE Creative Team stated that he always had other people putting their hands in his recipes, so to speak. Some rumors said that people like Stephanie McMahon have never liked him, and have never been fans of him, so they would constantly try to push him around because they had the power to do so. Some of his ideas would be changed at the last minute without anyone speaking to him about it, but hey, that's life working backstage for WWE, right? If he was to be put back in place as a member of Creative, it would signal that someone with some serious "stroke" backstage realizes that something isn't right with the current product. That should mean that he deserves a longer "leash", and the freedom to put more of his personal touch on things. He knows how to focus both on the main event scene, as well as the midcard tiers, so that should automatically help things out. He isn't as big a fan of the "hoss" workers as Vince McMahon has always been, so guys that wouldn't otherwise get proper pushes would be in line for more television time. It's worth a shot. As a bonus, it's not like putting him in Creative would mean the end of his on-screen character. Look at how often Vince McMahon was on television during the Attitude Era and in the years following, all while he was doing 100 different backstage duties. Heyman could continue being an "advocate" on television, which benefits people even further.
