CHANGES MADE TO THE SMACKDOWN AND ECW CREATIVE TEAMS

By Mike Johnson on 2007-02-06 12:05:00

Dusty Rhodes has been added to the creative team for the ECW brand recently, moving from Smackdown to work under head writer Dave Lagana. Lagana himself was said to have asked for Rhodes to be moved to the ECW brand during a recent meeting with Vince and Stephanie McMahon, noting ECW would have MTV's Wrestling Society X competing for the same audience and Rhodes could assist him with ideas for ECW.

Lagana remains the ECW head writer, taking Rhodes' ideas and then fitting them into his vision for the ECW brand (which of course is then filtered through the McMahon family).

It should be interesting to see what type of effect this has not just on ECW, but the Smackdown brand as well. Of late, Rhodes had been involved on Smackdown alongside Michael Hayes, with that brand picking up considerable steam in recent months.
