NWA-TNA signs Jerry Lynn, WWE creative team split, and more
Submitted by William Martinez on Tuesday, May 28, 2002 at 12:43 PM EST


• WWE has finally decided to split up the current creative team so that both the Raw and Smackdown brands each have their own creative teams. That change may have actually already begun with last night's Raw. Reportedly, the Raw brand will be headed by a team including Brian Gerwertz while Paul Heyman and Michael Hayes will lead the Smackdown brand. Heyman and Hayes have been alternating doing the post-production of Smackdown on Wednesday nights in Stamford so it does make sense that they were sent to do booking for Smackdown. Stephanie McMahon will remain the head of the overall WWE creative team while Vince McMahon will continue to have the last word as far as what gets put onto television.

  It took the security a little while to realize that the fan who pushed Eddie Guerrero off the ladder was actually a fan. He jumped over the rail pretty much right where Chris Benoit had been seated shortly before that. He got passed the security and stood in the ring for a good second untouched or unpersued by security, before he pushed over the ladder. Then he got roughed up by security and a shot or two by Eddie too. His buddy tried to help out on the outside then they both got escorted out. They left to a huge pop!
