Moore thinks the business as a whole is in trouble right now, and he believes there needs to be competition for WWE in order for the business to thrive in general. Lawler agrees that competition is good as that keeps everyone on their toes. More competition also means more work for wrestlers which he’s certainly in favour of. Unfortunately, Impact simply can’t seem to get going in the right direction at all so that competition is probably going to have to come from elsewhere.
Lawler says he spoke to Al Snow recently. Snow was still employed by Impact at that time but has been since released. From their conversation, Lawler got the sense that Impact was in a state of disarray. Since that day, Impact has cycled through multiple name changes and several well known talents have been let go, furthering the company’s problems.
Moore points out that veteran referee Earl Hebner was released from the company this week as well, and he wonders if we’ll ever see Hebner in the WWE Hall of Fame. Lawler says Hebner was a WWE staple during the company’s glory years but unfortunately he didn’t leave on the best of terms. The thing about Vince McMahon, is he always forgives and forgets.
