There’s a new speculation report going around that the WWE keeps their creative team in the dark as to who will be released from each show.
If true, this makes WWE Creative’s job all that more difficult as they’d have to write for the shows about wrestlers that may not be with the company at that time and maintain some form of continuity.
WWE Creative takes an enormous amount of flak from fans and critics for the severe lack of continuity that goes back to before the now regular releases (every 90 days going forward).
WWE Creative Kept in the Dark About Releases and are Beaten Down
Add to that the lack of basic storytelling and the WWE creative team is taking more punishment than they deserve, though whether or not they deserve it depends on one’s point of view.
Since it’s been regularly reported that the writers write for Vince McMahon as he has the final say, so if there’s any blame he would be the one to point out.
And according to recent reports, life as a WWE writer has another side to it.
Not good enough
In a March episode of the Mat Men Pro Wrestling podcast, they talked about how WWE writers claim the WWE “Beats the creativity out of you” and that some of the writers have lost confidence in their abilities.
The writers have reportedly worked on some of the best shows on TV, so it makes us wonder how bad it has to be for them to be so beaten down confidence wise.
Artists in general have shaky confidence as we don’t know how our work will be accepted or perceived, and constantly having our ideas rejected (especially harshly), insulted, or have our work redone can be taxing.
There have been plenty of stories from former talent and Jim Cornette and Vince Russo about how difficult it can be to work for McMahon.
Add to that WWE’s history of replacing their creative team gives the impression they’re viewed as replaceable.
It’s an odd situation for anyone to work, and with McMahon regularly changing their plans and ideas at the last minute, it’s little wonder that WWE is all over the place with their storylines.
The odd thing is with the storylines being filtered through one person, they should be a lot tighter and make sense.
But when that filter seems more interested in moments rather than telling a story, it may not be as surprising as we’d expect.
If these reports are true, should McMahon give the writers more freedom or hand over the keys to the company? Let us know in the comments below.
