Wasn't Heyman more involved with Smackdown at this point?

During the Guerrero, Angle, Benoit, Lesnar, Mysterio, Edge, WGTT period when the show was #1 and the wrestling was the best in the company.

The NWO thing was blown because Scott Hall was unreliable and Hogan's suprise face turn during his match with the Rock.

And Kevin Nash got injured and X-Pac got fired too.

Wasn't this around the same time that the wife beating charges against Austin were brought up?

I think it wasn't, didn't he come back but stories leaked out he was drinking non-alcoholic beer because he was banned from drinking in relation to these charges or something of the sort?
