Writing five hours of WWE per week

By Scott Keith on 17 December 2018


Hi Scott. A few days ago there was discussion about how difficult a job the WWE writers have to fill five hours of TV per week.

I know it all comes down to Vince McMahon micromanaging everything but isn’t the whole problem that they actually do WRITE five hours of TV? They could probably cut that in half by just telling the talent what to accomplish in every promo, match finish and angle – then let the wrestlers work with each other and the agents to do it “in their own voice/style”.

Did Vince Russo and Ed Ferrera intricately script every single minute of every single episode of Raw they ever wrote? I doubt it.

Preaching to the choir, bro.
