WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle recently made an appearance on Busted Open Radio where he talked about Paul Heyman and Eric Bischoff becoming Executive Directors for WWE and challenges that they face.
Heyman will be in charge of Monday Night RAW while Bischoff will oversee SmackDown Live and work closely with FOX when the show moves this October.
Angle, who works as a producer in WWE, sees the challenges that await these two men in their new roles.
“The ratings have been pretty stagnant,” Angle stated. “It just sounds like they want to give something a try and I do not blame them. The WWE right now, they are a publicly traded company that makes more money now, than they ever did before, that includes the Attitude Era.”
Angle brought up all of the sources of revenue for the company such as TV deals, WWE Network, merchandise, and endorsements. However, WWE is still trying to find a balance by giving their fans what they want and complying with a PG television rating.
“They have shareholders, they want to make sure it’s a family program and geared towards kids. The writing gets to be a little more difficult when you’re trying to write PG all the time.”
