WWE Flooded With Complaints After ECW PPV
| Reporter: Mark 12/13/2006 5:00:46 AM - source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter The disintegration between Paul Heyman and WWE can possibly be linked to the significant amount of complaints WWE fan services and DirecTV received after last Sunday's December to Dismember PPV. WWE fan services and DirecTV were both flooded with complaints after the PPV and both McMahon & Heyman blamed the other for it. McMahon thought the show was good at first, at least until the next day when he got wind of all the complaints and realized that it was a bad show. At that point, he blamed Heyman for it. Some people didn't want to pay because the show ended considerably early. Heyman was blamed for mistiming the show as it ended approximately 32 minutes early. Other complaints included the quality of the show and the false advertising of Sabu in the main event. It is believed that the "Where's my refund?" chant during the show encouraged several people to go and complain about it to WWE fan services and DirecTV. Furthermore, there was also a "Change the channel" chant during the show. |

Paul Heyman Released From WWE/ECW
| CREDIT: www.wrestleview.com PWInsider.com has just reported the details on Paul Heyman’s departure from not only ECW but apparently WWE as a whole. According to reports, Vince McMahon was furious at last night’s ECW December to Dismember pay per view and is trying to pin all the blame on Paul Heyman. Nevermind the fact that it was more of a WWE style pay per view than an ECW one. According to sources, Vince believes that Paul doesn’t get what the new vision of ECW should be and that he is "caught in the past." So how did all of this come about? Well apparently the problems started last night when Heyman, angry at how the show was being booked, began voicing his opinions before, during and after the show. Reportedly there were definite issues between Vince and Paul that escalated today at the tapings where a meeting was held at approx. 2pm eastern time with Heyman, Stephanie McMahon-Levesque and Vince McMahon. After the meeting Heyman came out of the meeting looking normal like nothing had transpired. He then grabbed his stuff and left. The word is this is NOT a storyline at all and that Paul Heyman is done with World Wrestling Entertainment. |

WWE Release On 'Staged' Protest In Indonesia
| Credit: www.impactwrestling.com Reporter: Mark 12/4/2006 4:45:22 AM - STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Despite the fact that authorities have said the death of a nine-year-old boy in Indonesia had nothing to do with WWE, local activists are still trying to fuel the fire by staging what is clearly seen as a contrived protest, World Wrestling Entertainment® said today. In fact, AP posted a photo of a "protest" on-line. Here are the facts as we know them: The father of the boy claimed that three 15-year-old boys beat up his nine- year-old son in mid-October practicing wrestling moves they saw on TV. Yet it took the father a week after the incident occurred before he sought medical care for his son. The boy died one month later from causes not yet identified. The police noted an autopsy was forbidden by the child's family for religious reasons. As a result the police have indicated in the media that because there is no permission to conduct the autopsy, they are seeking the child's medical records from the hospital. The police are continuing their investigation into the actual cause. WWE continues to monitor the situation.
