Some very interesting notes from Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio

Quote:

* He notes Vince is booking things now in a way Verne Gagne and Eric Bischoff did, where they are more focused on stars of the past staying stars than making new stars.

* Said nothing has been signed as far as an ESPN + or other OTT streaming service and it is making some nervous since Vince wanted this done by Q1, and if it's not, it will make the stock drop since it's a failed promise to investors.

* Most in the upper echelons of WWE Management still don't understand why Michelle Wilson/George Barrios were fired.

* Said for the last six years all Vince has told top brass is how great The Network is because they have access to data regarding what their fans watch and want to see and the varying demographics. The last year Vince did a 180 and has said on data he "doesn't care" and it "doesn't matter".

* Vince only seems focused on making big money deals and booking day to day, all long-term planning from a creative aspect has essentially been eliminated.

* Said some in upper management have been expressing concern about Vince running WWE, which has never happened before, but repeatedly odd decisions have caused much concern.
