The WWE senior management, which consists of Jim Ross (talent relations), Kevin Dunn (television production) and Ed Kauffman (legal affairs), were all promoted this past week. But the promotions seem to be only in their company title because their duties remain the same. Ross, Dunn and Kauffman were boosted up to Executive Vice President. Stephanie McMahon was promoted from Director of Creative to Vice President of Creative. A memo was sent out to all employees announcing their respective promotions. Criticism has been mounting in WWE about the pushed talent on television not working house shows. Now, Vince McMahon, Steve Austin, Eric Bischoff and others will be working house shows. Austin will be doing the usual ass kicking and stone cold stunning followed by the beer guzzling. Nothing new on Bill Goldberg’s situation with his arm. We do know that he had taken creative control of his character. Most of the recent happenings involving him were from his ideas. The Goldberg & Booker T. vs. Chris Jericho & Christian on the 6/16 edition of RAW and the Goldberg vs. Rodney Mack on the 6/23 edition of RAW were mainly his doing. Former WCW announcer Mark Madden was slated as ghost writing the Ric Flair autobiography for what seems like the past couple of years. He recently received a phone call from Keith Elliot Greenberg, who wrote the "Classy" Freddie Blassie Biography, to be asked a few questions about Greenberg's book on Flair. It was the first time Madden heard he was not going to write the book. AD: WWE ROSTER CUTS: Christian, Basham Bro's, Al Snow; MORE!!
