More WWE Creative Changes Revealed - The 'Home' and 'Traveling' Teams
AppId is over the quota
- The WWE creative team reportedly now consists of two groups - the "home team" and the "traveling team." The home team, mainly Stephanie McMahon and Brian Gewirtz, will be going to TV tapings less often with the idea that as soon as RAW is over, they and the other writers who don't travel begin working on long-term programs and the following week's shows. Former Baltimore Sun writer Kevin Eck has been mentioned as a possible member of the "home team."
The "traveling team" will be led by head SmackDown writer Ed Koskey, head RAW writer Dave Kapoor (Ranjin Singh) and a lot of the newly hired soap opera writers. The writers are no longer traveling on WWE's corporate jet and are flying commercial, having to drive from RAW to SmackDown instead of flying on the WWE jet.
"Air McMahon" is now being used for Vince McMahon, Triple H, John Laurinaitis and a few others. One person close to the situation said this is actually preferred over traveling on the jet with the negative being that you don't get home until Wednesday after the tapings. WWE has chartered buses for their writers and producers in the past, depending on the distance between the cities that host RAW and SmackDown that week.

Possible Spoiler on a Top Tag Team's Future in TNA
- As noted before in our spoiler posts, "Wildcat" Chris Harris returned to TNA iMPACT at the tapings this past Tuesday night, to air next week.
Word from TNA is that Harris will be re-forming America's Most Wanted with former partner James Storm at some point. People in TNA are shocked that they would consider breaking up the highly successful team of Beer Money, but the longterm plan is for Robert Roode to have a singles run.

Hawkins Painting Of HBK, HHH Returns To The Ring, Animal On Tag Teams Today
-- As noted earlier, Joe "Animal" Laurinaitis was on Monday Night Mayhem radio earlier this week. He discussed the lasting legacy of The Road Warriors and why he feels that The Legion Of Doom would be 'extremely successful' in the industry today, stating, "What we accomplished was that you cannot teach charisma, you cannot teach how to do an interview, you cannot teach mic presence & ring presence, and the natural ability to do things. There's going to be one Hulk Hogan. There's going to be one Ric Flair. There's going to be one Road Warriors. There's probably only to be one Rock. You're never going to reinvent those particular characters again. There's no doubt in my mind that if Hawk & I were to come in fresh today, just on mental attitude & the way we did business, we would be extremely successful today." You can check out more at MondayNightMayhem.com. -- Triple H returned to action at last night's house show in Madison Square Garden, defeating Sheamus in a street fight. "The Game" was reportedly heavier than the last time we saw him in the ring.
