Seen a few people bash Bichoff already and say nonsense like "AEW would never want him so i don't know why WWE bothered with him!".
AEW would have Bichoff right now if they could. Not necessarily for creative but given the fact that AEW is going to TNT it would give them instant creabilty to have somebody with Bichoff's history with that particular network on-board. Bichoff would of been a logical go-between for the network executives and AEW management.
Anyone claiming that AEW would never want or even be interested in Bichoff in any capacity are simply exposing themselves as marks who know nothing about the business.

I reckon it’s a good thing too.

Hopefully they'll inject a bit of unpredictability and fun into it. It takes itself far too seriously nowadays.

It needed to change and this will do it. It might be crap but at least it will be different.
I get the feeling these two will use the decent rosters far more to their potential than currently. And that can only be a good thing.

Interesting parts:
We are told that they will be overseeing all aspects of their individual series, answering directly to Vince McMahon. They are now the top of the pyramid, respectively, for Raw and Smackdown but obviously McMahon will always have the last say. One WWE source compared their roles to Paul Levesque's in NXT in that they will be in charge, but it's still Vince's company.
Definitely going to change things. I’m in.

Heymans appointment is a good one (Steph mightnt like it)....Bischoff is a swerve, particularly when he was just used as an on-air talent last time....
To be honest, I don't see it making a difference, there's 4 factors that won't change which means wwe's mainstream appeal won't return... PG rating, drug testing, concussions and wrestling fans.....
Every year Wrestlemania is built around part time & returning stars who dont face drug tests (HHH, Cena, Batista, Lesnar, Rock...)....when these guys disappear your left with guys who I'd fancy my chances with in a fight.... Hulk Hogan appeared on Raw 2 weeks ago, and was in better shape then both current World champions...visually that matters to casual fans....
The PG rating means no casual fans over 15 years old are gonna get sucked into watching again (like Austin's effect on ratings)...
Concussions, drug addictions, general health... simple really, too many wrestlers from the 80's/90's have died young... Wrestling was reckless, and those crazy days can never return no matter how entertaining they were...
Fans....they complain about 50/50 booking, but reject everyone whose booked super strong... Whatever about Reigns, fans turning on Ronda Rousey was baffling.... She did everything right, amazing rookie year, fans booed her because Vince gave her the Hulk Hogan treatment...

I wonder how much the upcoming XFL factored into this decision? Vince would probably of needed to take a step back from WWE to be more hands on with the XLF anyway. This provides him with a face-saving out.

The craziest part of that story is that WCW were going to pay Tommy Dreamer 750K a year
