    From this weeks Creative Recall
    So apparently Smackdown has a new lead writer in Ed Koskey. Ed was moved from NXT to Smackdown. I actually really like Ed and think he is a really good guy but I just don’t understand the philosophy that Vince imposes on the creative staff. People are put in positions based on seniority as opposed to creative ability. Ed is extremely creative but he has also been in the company for 10 years. WWE needs a fresh coat of paint and the same guys put in different positions won’t give that feel. Although this move is great news for ECW/NXT alum currently on the Smackdown roster.

    The headline should be Michael Hayes being removed from the position rather than the new guy getting the job.

    50% of Smackdown's black roster is getting a push. ;)

    Get Byron Saxton on there.

    He told Mark Henry "I'm more of a n***** than you are." Bobby Lashley apparently left the WWE due to Hayes treatment of him Booker has defend him at times saying he doesn't take offence to Hates using the N word

    I'm pretty sure Lashley left because of how they were booking his wife, and then they sacked her?

    She was being booked as Teddy Long fiance I think before she left.Even though he's easily old enough to be her dad.

    I think they wanted her to be in some sort of sexual or racial based storyline (I think she was supposed to be the marraige counsellor Edge has an affair with or something, whatever the equivelant was at the time). She refused, and COINCIDENTALLY was released a short time later.

    The other reason floating around is that a "certain writer" constantly referred to him as Black Lesnar.

    It's actually a pretty cool name in my opinion, but I can see how one might take offense...
