*sigh*  Why hire an outsider?  Why can't they just assign it to Paul
Heyman since he still isn't medically cleared and isn't an active part
of the writing team anymore?  He's got a great wrestling head on his
shoulders, and kept the convulated ECW angles straight.  

All they'd have to do would be fax him copies of the preliminary
scripts the morning of the shows, have him fax them back problems
(along with suggested fixes), and then have a phone line so that they
can immediately contact him for last minute changes.  Or, have him at
RAW and PPVs to make corrections in person, and available by phone
and/or fax on Tuesday for the Smackdown taping and Wednesday to
"approve" the in-studio announce scripts for the taped shows.  I chose
in-person RAW because most of the glaring errors are on RAW, with
Smackdown being more tightly written.

It's not complete rewrites I'm talking about here - just changing or
adding a half-dozen words of a promo here or there or scratching out a
line to be fed to an announcer would take care of 90% of the problems.
