According to sources close to the situation, Tom Chehak, who was the managing editor of the WWE creative team, has left the company. The news was reportedly distributed via a company memo today. Details as to why he left are not known at this time. Chehak was brought in to oversee both brands' writing teams after WWE commissioned Hollywood consultants to evaluate their creative process and offer suggestions as to how they could improve it. Almost from the beginning, people who dealt with Chehak told me he was ridiculously ill-suited to work in the wrestling business and I didn't talk to one person in the company who was impressed by his vision of creative.

It should also be noted that this is yet another change to WWE creative that hasn't addressed the fundamental problems that started, in earnest, when Chris Kreski left the company and Stephanie McMahon took charge of creative a few years ago.

I'm guessing Steph probably didn't like him so they were just itching to fire him. Doesn't matter though as creative will never get better with Steph as the head booker.

If I were the WWF I'd fire everyone in creative right now and then form a new booking team with Mick Foley, Ric Flair, Tommy Dreamer, Arn Anderson and Dean Malenko.

I don't like Edge, but even he knows what to do. He was a creative consultant while on the "IL", but was no longer required after giving a list of about a million errors in the "does this make sense" department.
