That's exactly the same sort of imagery that comes to my mind too.

Jericho saved that stupid joke by saying that he's from Winnipeg. No saving us from terrible this time.

Seems like Roman was made to look like a fool with all the people dressed up as Team Jeri KO.

Virtually everyone is scripted though, just some pull it off better than others.

Think a script from a recent time The Rock was on RAW had just him, Cena, and Heyman with bullet points or improv allowed for their promos. |

Well, yeah. Credit to Owens and Jericho for making it sound like their own work, but they clearly just get more focus. The stuff they get is good compared to the stuff other guys are saddled with.

Also, even though there is a written script, we do not know how much input the rasslers/certain rasslers get into actually writing that script in the first place.

That's true. Seems like a waste of time for the writers to write down what those wrestlers are going to say if it's their promo though.

Ambrose said that he's never been happy with a promo he's done on the WWE main roster because the scripts suck, but he clearly does them anyway. I will say that he either has more freedom since the brand split or just better writers. |

The problem with having all these writers, is that even if they have genuinely good ideas once in a blue moon, there are competing visions. Wrestling works best when there is some golden ideal that everything is building towards. Person A suggests that they run Kevin Owens vs. Brock Lesnar, for example, then Person B says "Yeah, but with Owens as the babyface," then person C says "Well, we need to get the title onto Brock," then person D says "Owens should drop it to Rollins then onto Brock," and suddenly this idea of two very different professional wrestlers that haven't lost finally clashing is completely out the window. It's not the same idea as the one Person A had.
And if you've got no long-term vision, and if you're not trying to have that vision because you are writing for what Vince wants to see week-to-week, how are you going to script the "characters" to have any vision? How are wrestlers, even if given freedom, supposed to sell their vision as performers to crowds without seeming like idiots when it all goes down the gurgler the next week? It's a fundamental and philosophical problem the WWE has. |
