As we alluded to on today's Elite hotline, several changes in the front offices of World Wrestling Entertainment are scheduled to be announced soon. The word going around at the Smackdown/ECW taping is that Simon Dean (Michael Bucci) will be replacing Tommy Dreamer as the head of the developmental program and would be working directly under Executive Vice President of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis.

Bucci will be taking over all the developmental duties currently handled by Tommy Dreamer, who will be staying on to help transition Bucci into the role. The decision isn't really much of a surprise as Bucci worked under Jim Cornette in OVW for a number of years while coming up through the developmental program himself. It's expected his in-ring career, as it stands, will likely be over as a WWE performer. He will likely be moving from Kentucky to the Northeast to work out of WWE's Stamford, CT headquarters. Developmental talents are expected to be officially informed tomorrow.

Dreamer will remain on board full-time as a wrestler for the ECW brand. The feeling is that Dreamer's heart is in working as a wrestler and with him being on the road every week for the new version of Extreme Championship Wrestling, his time working in the offices was severely limited. By all accounts, there's no problems on Dreamer's end over his departure from the front office, possibly because he always preferred to wrestle and was where his goals truly were.

Dreamer might not have the office position, but you know he's still running things in the lockerroom.

I was actually hoping that Dean would retun to ECW as Nova, but an office job making money sounds a bit better than making money by wrestling after you've done if for a while. But then again, there are wrestlers who are very passionate about being wrestlers.

Either way, good for both of them. I'm actually starting to like this new ECW within the past couple of weeks, or may be it's just rubbing off on me.

...Yeah, I probably should have posted it there. I'm used to these sort of things going-up to a few pages within the first day at OSW.

The title of this thread sounds like a sitcom.

But good for Nova. Too bad he's working with Johnny Ace now, though. That's gotta suck
