Vince McMahon Rumored To Be Furious Over Emails Sent Out About Paul Heyman & Eric Bischoff

Over the past 24 hours, WWE sent out some emails to fans that advertise Paul Heyman appearing on RAW this week and Eric Bischoff appearing on Smackdown. This comes after they were both announced as the new Executive Directors of RAW and Smackdown.

This was a bit confusing though because prior reports suggested that Heyman and Bischoff were being brought in for behind-the-scenes roles. Heyman was expected to keep his role up as Brock Lesnar’s advocate but there was no indication about WWE’s plans to make Bischoff a character on WWE television again. These emails suggested that Bischoff will be appearing on this upcoming week’s episode of Smackdown Live in San Antonio.

According to a rumor, Vince McMahon is furious about this email blast that was sent.

Here is what Bryan Alvarez had to say on Figure Four Daily about these emails (h/t to WrestlingNews.co for the quote below):

The story is Vince, I guess is trying not to micromanage everything like he has done in the past plus he has the XFL coming up. So apparently, he’s not micromanaging the department that’s sending out these email blasts … 24 hours later, the people in that department still thought that Heyman and Bischoff were gonna be television characters and so they put together this email blast advertising them as being there as characters. I don’t know how it got through all of these channels but it got sent out to everybody around the time that I got it and everybody else got it. Vince got it. Vince was furious, not understanding why this was sent out and so at this moment, Heyman and Bischoff are not supposed to be television characters but because the email blast was sent out, there is the chance that they’re gonna have to put them on TV because it’s been advertised. This is a 7 billion dollar company with 500 employees and this is what happened in the last 24 hours. So that’s the story.”

According to this rumor, Bischoff is NOT planned to be a television character and someone messed up. We will have to wait and see if WWE ends up using Bischoff on Smackdown this week or not.
