USA v. WWE
By Scott Keith on November 2, 2012
Makes me wonder who said it, if true, thinking Punk or Cena, other wise they would have been fired.
But it brought up another question:
Does USA/NBC have the power to take over the production of Raw? In that I remember that in the 90s when Attitude started Bonnie Hammer (USA CEO) getting involved with the production and making the product better. Could at some point NBC start having an influence on production or, are they just the people buying Raw the infomercial and they are at the mercy of Vince.
They definitely have influence on the production, although it seems like it's more of a "big picture" thing rather than micro-managing the show on a day-to-day basis. I would think that after 1000 episodes Bonnie would trust them to do their thing, but I don't think they can step in and demand specific changes anyway. Maybe back in 97 when they were directly responsible for keeping the product alive, but now they're basically just cutting them a cheque for TV rights and airing the show, best as I can tell.
