What with Stephanie McMahon being out of the picture due to the birth of her child, Paul Heyman had free reign as far as scripting is concerned. Last week's ECW show was largely put together by Heyman, although the undercard matches not shown on television didn't come from him (i.e. Kendrick and London being put over The Full Blooded Italians).
Also, Heyman is expected to gain some power over the ECW house shows. Considering that the ECW show on Sci-Fi performs well in the ratings, house show business has been considered to be a flop. Attendance figures thus far have been disappointing. One change Heyman has been pushing for is for the house shows to be longer than two hours.
Heyman is also pushing for some changes in ECW creative. He wants Tommy Dreamer to be a part of the ECW creative team. Vince McMahon is considering it.
