That makes some sense but also tosses out everything that makes wrestling different from just another form of entertainment. We’d all love for the storylines to be more compelling but are those writers gonna care as much that the big match should be the climax? How does the wrestling even fit in?
Wrestlers aren’t actors. I think most of us agree that scripting promos for guys to read verbatim as opposed to just letting them “become” the character has been a detriment but the more we head towards TV writers telling a carefully scripted story, how will that clash with the natural flow of a wrestling match where guys have a basic idea of what needs to be accomplished and take things from there because that’s precisely where their training lies?
As much shit as we give Vince, even as he strays further from what made the product compelling, he’s still so much more in tune with it than even a good TV writer coming in blind simply because the form of entertainment is so unique.
